== History of Qel-Droma ==
=== The Fall of Ulic Qel-Droma ===
Thousands of years ago, the former light Jedi Master Ulic Qel-Droma had become the first High Priest of the [[Krath]] and enemy of the Light [[Jedi]]. In a battle that lasted over a decade and cost the lives of millions on both sides, Ulic Qel-Droma was ultimately driven back to a remote corner of the Galaxy, near a small world called Aurora Prime. He set up a refuge and fortress there and held those for another three years against overwhelming odds. Finally however, the enemy forces, outnumbering Qel-Droma's by more than ten to one, were able to penetrate the fort. Not to be taken captive, Qel- Droma and six of his closest aides took their lives in one of the darkest [[Krath]] rituals ever imagined, ripping each other's hearts from their bodies on the highest tower at the light of the last sunray of the day. Their mission seemingly fulfilled, the Light troops left the fortress and the world, never to return.
=== A Spirit Unfulfilled ===
However, in spirit, Qel-Droma was not dead, nor was any of the six who died with him. They lived on in the [[Force]], haunting the world they were left on in solitude. Not really alive nor really dead, they spent the next millennia on their deserted world, unable to find final rest but unable to do anything either. The Old Republic came and with it came the Forces to destroy Darkness. A small band of [[Dark Jedi]] retreated to the place where Qel-Droma had died and built the base of a [[Krath]] cathedral. They taught there for sixty years until, in an inexplicable incident, all but one of them were killed in one night of bloody battle against no foe. The one survivor's name was Kasal Diglapari and it was after this fateful night that he wrote his first Prophecy, a tale of young [[Dark Jedi]] and a spirit never able to rest.
=== Arcona's Ascension and Fall ===
It was still several hundred years later, after the fall of Palpatine, that the next incident happened. During the reign of [[Grand Master]] Khyron, a [[Dark Jedi]] [[House]] was formed in the system where Ulic Qel-Droma had seen his last battle. The House was named [[Arcona]] and its first leader was [[Sith Warrior]] Donitz. Donitz however never made it to the day to see his [[House]] fully established as the day before the [[Grand Master]] was to give his official approval and blessing, he disappeared into the nothingness of Space, never to be seen again. Instead of him, [[Krath]] ]]Pontifex]] Gilkane was instated into the position of [[Quaestor]], aided by [[Obelisk Warrior]] Dreadnaught. [[Arcona]] was blessed with a large amount of talent and immediately seized Right of Supremacy among all [[Houses]] in the next vendetta. After the vendetta, [[Pontifex]] Gilkane resigned to go into the wilderness and work on his own [[Force]] understanding and Dreadnaught was called upon to establish a new [[House]]'s presence elsewhere. So the leadership of [[Arcona]] fell to [[Krath]] Priestess Lioness. Lioness was eager and talented, but she had ideas not in accordance with what the [[Dark Council]] expected and was in the end forced to resign her leadership. No replacement was appointed and [[House]] [[Arcona]] began to crumble.
=== Nighthawk and the new Arcona ===
It was several months later that a young and loyel [[Jedi Hunter]] named [[Nighthawk]] approached the [[Dark Council]] with the request for permission to rebuild the presence that had once been [[House]] [[Arcona]]. He had the support of Lioness' former [[Aedile]], [[Warrior]] Shark, and together they began a steady process of growth. In less than a year, what had been a dead [[House]] was a flourishing assembly of 70 [[Dark Jedi]] of all ranks and so it was decided to expand [[Arcona]] into a [[Clan]]. Two new [[Houses]] were formed, [[House Galeres]] on [[Arcona]]'s homeworld - [[Selen]] and, on the second inhabitable world of the system, the one where Ulic Qel-Droma had met his fate, a [[House]] was established to bear his name. [[Sith Warrior]] Shark was the first [[Quaestor]] of [[House]] Qel-Droma while [[Nighthawk]] was now [[Consul]] of [[Arcona]].
=== Oriens Obscurum and the Reordering ===
While [[Arcona]] was prospering, a neighboring [[Clan]], [[Scholae Palatinae]], was doing far less well. They had deteriorated to a point where barely more than a single [[House]]'s worth of [[Jedi]] were left and thus it was decided to downgrade the [[Clan]] to a [[House]], called [[House Oriens Obscurum]] and give this [[House]] to [[Clan Arcona]]. Many talented members, especially veteran [[Sith]] called this [[House]] their home and it became a great asset to the [[Clan]]. Then came the day when [[Grand Master]] Khyron ordered the most massive restructuring of the [[Brotherhood]] ever. No longer were [[Houses]] to have members of all three [[order]]s but they were to concentrate their powers on one [[order]] and its abilities, with a [[Clan]] having one [[Krath]] [[House]], one [[Sith]] [[House]] and one [[Obelisk]] [[House]]. [[House Galeres]] had traditionally been strong with [[Obelisk]] members and had [[DJM]] Blazer, a former [[CoG]] as their [[Quaestor]], so it was natural for them to become the [[Obelisk]] [[House]]. Qel-Droma was as natural a choice for [[Krath]] given their namesake and location, so [[House Oriens Obscurum]] became [[Sith]]. [[Archpriest]] Gavron became the first [[Quaestor]] of the restructured [[House]] Qel-Droma.
=== Lord Thedek's Reign ===
These incidents fell just before [[Grand Master]] Khyron retired. In his place, Lord Thedek was appointed [[Grand Master]]. As a result of his ascension, [[Nighthawk]] was appointed [[Master at Arms]] and Gavron was chosen as the new [[Consul]] for [[Arcona]]. The new [[Quaestor]] of Qel-Droma was Joker who had to relinquish the post later due to a ship collision that left him out of commission for several months and nearly killed him. Following in his footsteps were Frost (aided by [[AED]] Zander) and then Alex (with [[KPN]] Voranyen as [[Aedile]]). In this time, [[House]] Qel-Droma had two [[Krath]] [[Phyle]]s, the Dark Orb [[Phyle]] and the Loreseekers. Following a gradual decline in membership, the Loreseekers were closed, leaving Dark Orb as the only [[Phyle]] for [[House]] Qel-Droma.
=== The Recent Past ===
While the resignation of Lord Thedek and the ascension of Lord Zoraan to the Iron Throne had little effect on the [[House]], it still marked the timeline. Some time after Zoraan had assumed rulership, [[House]] Qel-Droma had again regrown somewhat. A second [[Phyle]] was reinstated under the command of [[Jedi Hunter]] Cyrax Lionheart, but Cyrax never made it to any exploits as he was one day found dead in his chambers. Succeeding him was [[Acolyte]] Kaiann, a recent graduate of the [[Shadow Academy]]. At the same time, Alex also resigned and [[Archpriest]] [[Mejas Doto]], the former [[Rollmaster]], was appointed the new [[Quaestor]] of Qel-Droma. Dark Orb [[Phyle]] remained in the capable hands of [[Krath Priest]] D'hak and [[Pontifex]] Voranyen continued as [[Aedile]].
=== Another Haunting Visit ===
Around these days, the Cathedral found itself in uproar again. Several younger [[Jedi]] had apparitions, especially of Ulic Qel-Droma and those who had been killed centuries ago. In a dreadful night, Qel- Droma came back to once again haunt the place he died, leaving two [[Acolyte]]s dead before finally being dispatched by the joint efforts of the [[Quaestor]] and several of the younger [[Jedi]]. They recognized the meaning of Kasal Diglapari's prophecy and thus it was decided to name the second [[Phyle]] Hell's Gatekeepers.
=== The Revolt Against Lord Zoraan ===
Little is to say about this unpleasant chapter of [[Brotherhood]] history except that [[House]] Qel-Droma gave a standing example of loyalty towards the Iron Throne, putting it in a strong position for the present and future. With a solidified leadership, a loyal standing to its rightful rulers and a growing base of active, talented [[Jedi]] of all ranks, Qel-Droma has grown to being able to make more history that shall once be added to this never-finished epic...
