| == Foreword ==
| | Years after a civil war among the Echani, Morra’Tel retired to his beloved Ryloth and created a beautiful estate for his family. During this peaceful time, his daughter married and had two children. Tasha being one of the children, grew up in the estate and learned about her grandfather’s warrior ways. It was when she was ten that it was discovered that she was force sensitive and sent off for training. When she finally became of age, her grandfather had passed away from a mysterious illness, however in his will he stated that Tasha would become the new Matriarch of the Estate. In his memory, she created the Morra gardens as a memento of his love for nature. |
| The history of the Versea family is longer than has been recorded in Dark Brotherhood records, with it's estate being established by Mora'Tel Versea. The family is drawn together not only by blood, in the case of the Patriarch, Matriarch and their daughter, but also by bounds of friendship and adopted kinship. As such the family may expand over time, though it is mostly rooted in Clan [[Naga Sadow]] as of [[30 ABY to 39 ABY#35 ABY|35 ABY]]. | | |
| | After she joined the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, She became a member of Naga Sadow. From her training through Marcus Kiriyiu, she blossomed into a warrior. As part of her training, she went through many trials and met her future husband, though for a long time they were rivals against each other. With the events of Awakenings and Ashes Fall, they grew closer to one another and were eventually married. As custom of her culture, the wedding was done Jassh’irr style and Bentre was then pronounced the Patriarch of the Versea Estate. Tasha then used force lightning to tattoo the Versea family symbol onto his right shoulder and welcomed him to the family. |

| | == The Versea Estate == |
| | |
| | == Structure == |
| | The Versea Estate is a reasonably impressive home. For example the courtyard is decorated with several stone statues of various Twi'lek heroes and champions, both of the Versea clan and those of Rylothian mythology. At the center of the courtyard, a statue and plaque have recently been constructed, to commemorate Morra'Tel. Meanwhile the Morra'Tel gardens are another point of interest within the Estate. Planted by Tasha's granfather, it shelters exotic plants and flowers from across the galaxy. While servants tend to the greenery, its seasonal planting and upkeep is planned and coordinated by Tasha'Vel. |
| | |
| | The Main Hall is decorated in a style that hearkens back to the military history of the former Patriarch. As such banners and tapestries hailing back to battles and struggles- especially those significant to the family or to Ryloth are displayed in the hall. Down a hallway, you can see the Lounge has been clearly designed with comfort in mind. Soft chairs and benches are spread throughout the lounge, with a large chair and desk acting a focal point. It has been arranged this way so the Matriarch can address the staff, members of the family or even guests with ease. A bar is situated against one wall, offering a wide selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks to sooth a parched throat. Since Bentre's inclusion in the family, a larger variety of Corellian specialties and a few more exotic drinks have been added to the bar. |
| | |
| | The Versea Library is a large room lined with bookshelves. The shelves house volumes on subjects such as history, war, etiquette, protocol, languages, mythology and a few more esoteric subjects. Included in these works is a volume by [[Macron Goura Sadow]] as well as a number of other mystical additions more recently made by Bentre. Far from the largest room on the property, the library still boasts an impressive variation of knowledge. The family's study is located in a room located just off of the Estate's library. |
| | |
| | In the deepest reaches of the Estate is the Bedroom Wing. This wing is a private area, holding the Matriarch's bedchamber, several guest bedrooms and servant's quarters.

After the death of his Master, Janos spent a good number of years on the run with his wife. During that time he worked for various people as a bodyguard and lawman and sometimes hit man. More often he assisted his wife by acting as her bodyguard when she was hired on as a healer for various nobles or villages.

| ===Jason===
| |
|
| |
| [[Jason Kane]] is a Chiss doctor who hailed from the planet Csilla. A student of the Force as much as a student of medicine, he sought how he might further augment his natural abilities. He once followed only the path of a healer, but since parting ways with his master he has expanded his skill set to include Sith Alchemy, xenobiology, and Force-assisted augmentations.
| |
|
| |
| While searching for holocrons across the galaxy, Jason Kane met many different people. Still, he did not allow himself to be distracted from the pursuit of knowledge. It was as he neared one of his prizes, he was approached by a Dark Jedi. The man at first tried to take the holocron, but after some prodding gave the object over to the Chiss. Smiling, he told the doctor that he knew of a place which contained a greater repository of knowledge, where he might learn more than he could hope about medicine, about the Force, and perhaps even about himself. After this, he was led to Clan Naga Sadow and Sepros by promises of the knowledge he sought.

| ===Zachary===
| |
|
| |
| [[Zachary O'Maille| Zachary James O'Maille]] was a Dark Jedi of Clan Naga Sadow. While he considers himself a warrior of sorts, he prefers introspection and discussion instead of heavy-handed violence to solve problems. Still, he will do as he feels necessary to protect those who considers family. This may include at times friends, House, or Clan. Despite this, he still considers himself a man without a master, not due to his pride, but feelings of inadequacy. He believes his actions have stripped him of his prior honor, and still seeks to reclaim that which was lost. While fallen, he refuses to embrace the ways of the Sith, seeing their conniving manner as an act of ultimate self-destruction. The Dark Side is a tool, a key to power and ultimately, stability. He wishes that his former brethren could just understand that.

| ===Drae'lath Ralath===
| |
|
| |
|
| A former Imperial, [[Drae'lath Rahath|Drae'lath]] came to Clan Naga Sadow in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY#35 ABY|35 ABY]]. It was in his early Journeyman days that he crossed paths with the Matriarch. A man overcome by the sorrow of his past deeds, Drae'lath confessed his part in the attacks on Ryloth during the [[starwars:Ryloth Insurgency|Insurgency]]. Seeing the genuine grief the man felt, Tasha'Vel gave him full forgiveness of his past actions on her homeworld. Her attention did not end there. The Matriarch observed his manner and his attitude, and after some discussion with Kairn'tel, it was decided that Drae'lath Ralath would join the family. After taking the Versea mark, Drae'lath was also known as Tarkona'tel of the Versea.

Family Traditions
Naming Conventions
Naming conventions follow family standards for those born into the family, but those who are adopted are given a second, Twileki name. For the Patriarch he chose the name Kairn'tel, Kairn meaning black as he considered himself a black sheep within the family. Additional members were gifted names with names whose meaning related to their skills or personality. Some of the family choose to go fully by their new monikers, while others like the Stormwinds have chosen to integrate their newly given names into their legal names. In ceremonial settings their family names are used, but are addressed by their chosen designations in everyday situations.
Family Roles or Status
- Matriarch (present: Tasha'Vel Versea): The head of the family is chosen by right of succession. Each head is allowed to choose their successor. In cases where no succession is clear, the eldest sibling is expected to assume that position, or to recognize an appropriate successor. While the family generally maintains no real assets, only the head is allowed to call for a blood hunt, or to denounce the bonds of another Dragon. Heads are also traditionally given the right to recognize and name new members of the family.
- Patriarch (present: Bentre Kairn'tel Stahoes): The Patriarch may be considered “above” regular orders from the Matriarch, but is expected to enforce official decisions and decrees of the family head. Additionally, the Patriarch possesses the right to bring new Versea into the fold but such decisions are still subject to the final approval of the Matriarch when the new member's Twi'leki name is chosen.
