| | The current storyline picks up following the Sixteenth Great Jedi War, which saw the forces of the Brotherhood face off against [[The Children of Mortis]] in an ethereal plane of existence. This conflict ended with the Brotherhood’s victory, and the Children retreating to lick their wounds. |
|
| |
|
| The current storyline delves into the aftermath of the Rite of Supremacy: Escalation, in particular, the arrival of a new enemy group known as [[The Children of Mortis]]. Following attempts to gather data on the Children, the conflict between them and the Brotherhood came to a boil in the events of the Fifteenth Great Jedi War.
| | === Resource Rush === |
| | | The months following the Sixteenth Great Jedi War were some of the most peaceful that the Brotherhood has ever seen. It was a time of rebuilding forces, training, strengthing, and independence for the clans. |
| === Shadows Unveiled ===
| |
| ==== Prelude ==== | |
| The Dark Council met to continue discussion on the rebuilding of Arx, and their military following the events of The Collective's attack in the Great Jedi War. The Grand Master is planning on building a new temple to house important information gathered by the Shadow Academy. Idris Adenn arrives, bringing the first captured alive member of the Children of Mortis, Acolyte Saikar. The Grand Master orders all Clans attempt to gather intel on the Children, and to begin individually researching usage of the crystals the Children used on Dandoran. | |
| | |
| ==== Chapter I ====
| |
| Saira O’Setera arrives on Pendroh-I, headquarters of the Lightbringers, one of the sects of the Children, focused on the Light side of The Force. Along with her are several new apprentices, including one Qru Avalor. They become friends, and are shown around their new home by The Harbinger, leader of the Lightbringers.
| |
| | |
| Novice Ernesto Hayes calls the planet of Lodisa home, as a member of the Truthwardens, another sect of the Children which focuses on balance between the Light and Dark. He is delivering important intel about the arrival of a spy. After crashing into The Unifier, he also speaks with the Arbiter of Truth himself, and reflects on what his priorities are within the Truthwardens.
| |
| | |
| Slave Kikiri reflects on all those she would like to seek vengeance on. Whipped by her master she is sold to a representative of the Shadowseers, the third sect of the Children that focuses purely on the Dark side. She kills her former master and makes her way to Urikoth.
| |
| | |
| ==== Chapter II ====
| |
| Apprentice Saira is considered a prodigy within the Lightbringers. She remains close with Qru, who has fallen into the position of competent class clown. The Harbinger and her teachers all praise her, as she is left to wonder what path she would like to take within the Lightbringers.
| |
| | |
| Now a dedicated Grayblade, Ernesto Hayes continues to verify intel on the Brotherhood spy, at a speed his superiors consider slow. He is sent to speak with the Unifier. Ernesto finally acknowledges he was slowing down because it meant someone would die, and finishes verifying the intel. He is sent to take the spy to see The Father.
| |
| | |
| Kikiri defends that her visions of the future are correct, while the Loom who leaders the Fateweavers, is wrong. The Seer says they will undertake a ritual to find the truth. As the ritual proves Kikiri correct, she slits the throat of the Loom. The Seer names her as the Loom's replacement.
| |
| | |
| ==== Chapter III ====
| |
| Kikiri and The Seer witness an advancement to their ascension process, one that uses a simple gas instead of a lengthy ritual to turn a person into crystal. They leave to see The Father.
| |
| | |
| Ernesto Hayes searches for the Brotherhood spy on Pendroh-I, and has a run-in with Saira. They chat for a time before he takes off, thinking he sees the spy, leaving his datapad behind. Saira picks it up and tries to take it back when she see Qru. Qru takes the datapad and runs off before being caught by The Harbinger and Hayes. Identified as the spy they take him to see The Father. Saira follows, smuggling aboard their ship.
| |
| | |
| Saira is discovered by Kikiri at the Father's Palace, and is also taken before the leader of The Children. Qru is sentenced to death by asension, and after inhaling the gas, is killed by Harbinger's laser eyes. After being killed, his body converts into a pile of crystals. Saira is spared death, with the Harbinger intending his own unpleasant punishment for her.

|
| |
|
| ==== Chapter 1 ====
| | The Brotherhood’s closest allies, [[The Severian Principate]] had spent the last years growing rapidly, as their peaceful approach gained more and more popularity. In addition to their trio of core leaders, a new body, The Council of Systems, had formed so that each of their 16 systems had a voice. |
|
| |
|
| TBA
| | However peace only goes so far, and many raider attacks occurred in their systems. Their reliance solely on the Brotherhood for defense had to come to an end. In conjunction with the Brotherhood, a project was put into place to gather rare resources, research new technologies, build new ships and weapons, and train the next generation of soldiers. Both would prosper from this growth and stability. |

|
| Crack grew in the factions of the Severian Principate, and Tenixir Revenants. Influenced by the mystical crystals that had been recovered over the previous few years, both factions split in half, each with one favoring peace, the other all out war. War comes to them all on the planet of Dandoran.
| | The Children of Mortis had vanished, seemingly into thin air. Haunted by taunts from [[Telaris_"Mav"_Cantor|predecessor]] the Grand Master [[Evant_Taelyan|Darth Nehalem]] ordered the construction of a great gateway,that, utilizing the power of force-imbued crystals, would lead the way to fight the Children, and allow him to destroy the former Grand Master at the same time. |
| | |
| | Upon completion, the entire forces of the Brotherhood, and its seven clans ventured into the [[Ethereal Realm]], where time, gravity, Force abilities, and even the long dead followed new rules. Darth Nehalem found the former Grand Master and abandoned his post leading the Brotherhood’s forces to attempt to kill him. |
|
| |
|
| At the invitation of Py'zah the Hutt, The Principate and Revenants arrive to bid on a large cache of crystals, when shots are finally fired. The Brotherhood answers both sides call with each member choosing for themselves who they would like to support. Within The Principate, there were the brutal Restorers and the peace-seeking Harmonists. For the Revenants, there was the vengeance-seeking Retributionists and the opportunistic Expansionists.
| | Hoping to use the conflict, the Children’s leader, the Father, began a ritual to destroy the chain of the Force, a manifestation of the binding of the Force and the real world together. Attempting to sacrifice Avitus Oligard in the process, it was a race against time. |
|
| |
|
| Things became more complicated when the Restorers revealed they had melded the crystals with soldiers, creating fearsome Restoration Troopers, large lumbering beasts that were near impossible to kill. At the same time, The Seer, representing a new entity known as The Children of Mortis, brought with her Crystal Ascendants, beings also augmented with crystal but in such a way their connection to the force was magnified greatly.
| | Ultimately the Brotherhood prevailed. The Father’s new body was killed, and his spirit returned to the crystalline skeleton that housed it for so many ages. Avitus Oligard was saved and allowed to leave in peace. The Children of Mortis retreated into shadow. The Brotherhood retreated, sealing the still dueling Darth Nehalem and Telaris Cantor in the ethereal realm, fates left to the will of the force. |
|
| |
|
| Eventually, The Harmonists won the day. The Seer retreated with Avitus Oligard in tow. The Principate agreed to begin demilitarizing their armies, and the Revenants agreed to strike out to far away systems to prevent further bloodshed.
| | Dacien Victae was appointed the new Grand Master of the Brotherhood. |

Current Storyline
The current storyline picks up following the Sixteenth Great Jedi War, which saw the forces of the Brotherhood face off against The Children of Mortis in an ethereal plane of existence. This conflict ended with the Brotherhood’s victory, and the Children retreating to lick their wounds.
Resource Rush
The months following the Sixteenth Great Jedi War were some of the most peaceful that the Brotherhood has ever seen. It was a time of rebuilding forces, training, strengthing, and independence for the clans.
The Brotherhood’s closest allies, The Severian Principate had spent the last years growing rapidly, as their peaceful approach gained more and more popularity. In addition to their trio of core leaders, a new body, The Council of Systems, had formed so that each of their 16 systems had a voice.
However peace only goes so far, and many raider attacks occurred in their systems. Their reliance solely on the Brotherhood for defense had to come to an end. In conjunction with the Brotherhood, a project was put into place to gather rare resources, research new technologies, build new ships and weapons, and train the next generation of soldiers. Both would prosper from this growth and stability.
Previous Storyline: Fictional Recap
The Children of Mortis had vanished, seemingly into thin air. Haunted by taunts from predecessor the Grand Master Darth Nehalem ordered the construction of a great gateway,that, utilizing the power of force-imbued crystals, would lead the way to fight the Children, and allow him to destroy the former Grand Master at the same time.
Upon completion, the entire forces of the Brotherhood, and its seven clans ventured into the Ethereal Realm, where time, gravity, Force abilities, and even the long dead followed new rules. Darth Nehalem found the former Grand Master and abandoned his post leading the Brotherhood’s forces to attempt to kill him.
Hoping to use the conflict, the Children’s leader, the Father, began a ritual to destroy the chain of the Force, a manifestation of the binding of the Force and the real world together. Attempting to sacrifice Avitus Oligard in the process, it was a race against time.
Ultimately the Brotherhood prevailed. The Father’s new body was killed, and his spirit returned to the crystalline skeleton that housed it for so many ages. Avitus Oligard was saved and allowed to leave in peace. The Children of Mortis retreated into shadow. The Brotherhood retreated, sealing the still dueling Darth Nehalem and Telaris Cantor in the ethereal realm, fates left to the will of the force.
Dacien Victae was appointed the new Grand Master of the Brotherhood.
