For Celestial Exalted, a caste (pronounced as "kast," not "kayst") is a marking of one's role under the auspices of one's patron at the moment of Exaltation. For example, the Solar castes define different aspects of rulership: general, priest, sage, secret policeman and ambassador; simultaneously reflecting the different phases of the Sun's path through the sky. Caste has little impact on personality, but instead represents ones skills, charms and role. An Exalt's caste may be identified by their caste mark.
