Shadesworn was the name all Dajorran natives gave to their Force-using masters. Every member of Clan Arcona, by right, are Shadesworn as they are members of the Shadow Clan.
Only a select few earn the title of 'True' Shadesworn, though. To become a True Shadesworn, a member must be of either the Obelisk Assassin discipline, or have met and exceeded other expectations set forth by the Shadow Lord. True Shadesworn are the best assassins in the galaxy, so much so that their target's are labeled as 'deaders' because a True Shadesworn never misses his mark.
Shadesworn Ranks
Initiate
The lowest caste of Shadesworn members, Initiates are constantly trying to prove themselves to their superiors in order to garner favor and more power within the ranks of the Shadow Brethren. Initiates are often assigned to larger units within the Arconan military in order to hone their fighting skills and learn at the feet of those who are more experienced. Most Initiates are blind to the ultimate power that awaits them as they grow in their control over the Dark Side, but these shortsighted soldiers of Arcona are useful in the never ended feuds that are a part of the Brotherhood.
Initiate – Fourth Class (1 – 25 Prestige points)
Initiate – Third Class (26 – 50 Prestige points)
Initiate – Second Class (51 – 100 Prestige points)
Initiate – First Class (101 – 150 Prestige points)
Shadow Disciple
Disciples of the Shadow Clan are warriors who have proven themselves over and over again as useful and skilled agents of their Clan. These members have begun to unlock the true power of the Dark Side, but still have much to learn before they can be considered Masters. Disciples are often sent on more sensitive and dangerous missions, both to test their skills and loyalty, but also to cull the weak from the strong.
