Prodigal Sun

It is possible for a person of the air to bind her wings in order to restrain them while in narrow or cluttered spaces, or to conceal them under robes or a cloak. (The person in question will require full clothing that covers the shoulders and back, and will look slightly stoop-shouldered. With a successful [Perception + Awareness] roll, viewers will realize that the shape of her shoulders and back is unnatural. It is impossible to conceal the wings and their bindings from close inspection.) While no air folk would have even considered binding their wings for disguise during the First Age, those who served in the retinues of Exalted sorcerers and engineers often did so while in their laboratories, to prevent accidents. In the current Age, however, young people of the air who have left their native settlements often bind their wings to prevent discovery of their true nature.
