Gods do not simplly "not be involved".
Gods have a tendency to meddle, especially with each other, also slight reference to the old "walk into mordor" joke.Okay, you're clearly making some kind of joke, but I'm not seeing it.
Elaborate please?
Considering there is a character in-story named "Murder The Gods And Topple Their Thrones", I think the Exalted nods are kind of deliberate."The key to nobility is a spectacular hat." - Exalted Dynast or alt text on the lastest KSBD page?
Ignorance != Stupidity, as Aesma demonstrated. Sor is simply unaware of what he's dealing with.Update.
There is typically a fine line between bravery and stupidity.
In this case, however, that line is several miles wide and made of white fire.
She could be a body jumper?Mottom? Is it because we saw their "souls" and not their bodies during the meeting? Is that it?

Mercy is one of the more terrifying things to give.... Especially by gods or god-like beings.As for the page, all I can say is that this is somehow more terrifying than if she just splattered the guy out of hand.
Maybe because souls are un-hideable? Like how Zoss still had his head in the Void and White Chain becomes noticeably masculine as their conviction and personality are damaged/altered?Why she chooses to look beautiful before her lessers and hideous before her peers is something I'm less sure about.
The alt-text says it's probably a 'twice a day before breakfast' type deal for Nadia.Update.
You know, I'm pretty sure these guys made Mottom's day.
I mean, just think about how these sorts of things must usually go. She sits around for days as people bring in a ton of things that probably all start to blur together after the first couple hours. Then this happens and she finally has something to do.
So Nadia is Gluttony and Glory. I wonder what word the other six've been paired with?http://killsixbilliondemons.com/comic/wielder-of-names-4-67/
Nadia Om, Bearer of the word Glory.... Fancy titles.
What could be called magic in throne is known as the Art, and it is generally split into sub arts: Red, White, and Black. Using it is the 'art' of realizing that the entire universe is an illusion cast by the Flame Immortal, which permeates all things. It is often explained as the practice of lying to the universe convincingly enough that it becomes true. As such, it is explicitly vocal in nature, and heavily reliant on the practitioner's will for things to become true. To use the Art, the practitioner simply refines their will into an cutting edge and speaks aloud, lying about the nature of the universe. "This is not an apple," they might say, "But a plum." The apple then becomes a plum, of course, if that's what they prefer. The Art is described by many sorcerers as making their own small alterations to a story as it's being told. In theory it is very simple, but learning the ways to force your will on the universe and the right way to speak could take anywhere from a single month to a thousand years. The universe is sustained by the pure flame of the Gods themselves, and it takes a powerful and confident will to change that. This is evidenced by the fact that there are hundreds of schools of sorcery, but very few real sorcerers
Types of Arts
The Red Art is associated with changing the existing physical universe or nonanimate matter. For example, someone could use the Red Art to transfigure bare stone into gold, to warp a wall into a door, or to bend the illusion of life into inanimate objects. Equally, a practitioner could use the same principles to harm by igniting the air into bolts of fire or animating swords to fight on their own (collectively called pyromancy). Predictably, it is the most common and versatile art by far. One important aspect of the Red Art is it needs materials - it must transfigure, bend, or warp something that is already there (for example, bending the dust in the air into an illusion of life). The closer the base material to the desired result, the easier the Art is. Iron into gold is far easier than water into gold, for example.
The White Art is associated with changing the self or the self's perceptions. Common uses include dividing the universe to teleport short or long distances, divining hidden knowledge or casting your perception across dimensions, and aligning your soul flame (or atum) to physically transform your own body. Practitioners can shrug off bullets and blades like water, leap incredibly distances, or see through twenty-foot thick walls. The White Art is extremely hard to master and rarely sees use except by grand masters and very powerful or prodigious sorcerers. It is rumored that the ultimate use of the White Art is to turn back time, but this has never been observed.
The Red-White Art is a mixed art, more common in many uses than the pure White, but extremely rare and difficult in its most powerful uses. It is utilized to use the Red Art to affect others (since their perception of self must also be altered), by changing their physical form or mental state. Common uses are in baleful transfiguration, or baleful warping (also known as cursing or red words). During the great war between demiurges it was used to turn men's skin to iron, reduce great kings to babbling idiots, or warp a warrior into a story-high monstrosity. At its peak practice, it can be used to kill with a single word. For this reason, its practice is taboo: restricted and even forbidden in many sorcerous circles and even many worlds.
The Black Art is the rarest, simplest and most awe inspiring Art. It isn't known if any practitioners still live. The Black Art has only one fundamental use, and that is to create something from nothing. It is written in the few texts that speak of its study that this ability can be used to further kindle the Flame Immortal and create life.
