- "They are the ones who should decide the future of New Tython, not us. They lead from the front, defend us so that we may live in peace and ask nothing in return but friendship. They haven't failed us so far - I say let them lead."
- ―Prime Minister Varos' speech during the signing of the Treaty of Menat Ombo
The Councillors of Urr are Clan Odan-Urr's governing body. They are all prominent members of the Clan whose influence has shaped and defined its very existence. These individuals hold great responsibility and great influence with the Clan, shaping its course and indeed its very future through their wisdom. They act as a permanent advisory body to the Consul and the Summit.
Formation and influence
- "The Council Chamber. I have never seen a more splendid sight on all of New Tython."
- ―Mughim Viik, Chairman of the Dac Compound
Council chamber
While the original Jedi Council of Odan-Urr was formed long before the Clan ever joined the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, it was never as prominent as it became in 38 ABY when Odan-Urr rose in status and power. It is formed from the most influential members of Clan Odan-Urr - founders, warriors, scholars and leaders all.
The Chamber's location is a public secret. Everyone knows that it is located in the Arca Praxeum but only a rare few - the leaders of all the Tythonian nations and Jedi serving in the Praxeum - know its exact location within the massive complex. While many people think it is at the top of the Arca Praxeum's tallest tower, it is truly located directly bellow the main library, deep underground where orbital bombardment or air raids could never reach it. An ancient chamber has been refurbished with modern technology for this purpose. The seats are arranged around a central holo-table which can project massive holograms and even tactical layouts should the chamber ever be used as a command center.
Inauguration process
The title Councillor of Urr is the highest honor a member of the Clan can aspire to. This title is given to the best of the best who have served, and continue to serve the Clan. Candidates for the title are voted in by a majority Summit vote, by the Consul, Proconsul and Rollmaster. Votes are held in March, to commemorate the creation of Clan Odan-Urr; and in November, to commemorate the founding of House Odan-Urr. In case a Summit member is a candidate, the senior Quaestor or another titleholder will act as a second. Any member of the Clan may nominate himself or any other member.
All potential candidates for the Clan title, Councillor of Urr, must maintain constant activity within the Clan for an extended period of time, as well as the following list of requirements:
- Substantial presence in Clan Projects
- Substantial presence in vendettas and Clan events
- Leadership experience within the Clan
- Must be a member of the Clan for at least a year before being considered
- Must not have been AWOLed or left the Clan for any reason in the last year, other than leadership positions in other units or DC
- Must have had at least one apprentice reach Jedi Knight, or maintained a constant positive influence on students
These criteria are subject to change by the Summit.
Note: Those involved in the selection process may decide that no nominated candidate is ready for the title at the time of the vote. They may choose to re-visit nominations at the next voting period.
Current Councilors
Title awarded on: March 9th 2015. (38 ABY)
Ji was the first awarded the title of Councillor of Urr, and rightly so. He was one of the founders of the House in 2010, the first Quaestor and the one that started turning the wheels that led to Clan Odan-Urr in 2015. After House Satele Shan was formed, he took up the Quaestor's seat again, this time aiming to see his new House grow and develop. He has led House Odan-Urr through the Tenth Great Jedi War and has influenced Clan lore immensely, from its inception until today, and further. Much of what we take for granted, such as our Military forces, we have today because of Ji.
Title awarded on: March 9th 2015. (38 ABY)
Solari, also known as Windos, was the second candidate to be awarded the prestigious title of Councillor of Urr. Alongside Ji he stands as one of the most influential members in not only the Clan, but the whole Brotherhood. He has served as Aedile in House Odan-Urr and House Satele Shan, Recruitment Tribune and most importantly, as Headmaster. His work for the Shadow Academy has influenced the way other units and members of other units interact with the Clan. He was one of the major participants in putting Odan-Urr on the Brotherhood map and his title is a just reward.
Title awarded on: March 9th 2015. (38 ABY)
A'lora Kituri was awarded the title with a unanimous vote from the Summit on the 9th of March 2015. An impeccable leader, an inspiring presence and a good friend to many in the Clan, A'lora was the first member of Odan-Urr when it was first formed as a House back in 2010. He has maintained activity throughout 5 years as a member, has held the Rollmaster, Aedile and Consul positions and has been recognized as one of the most valued members of the Clan. His influence on Clan lore is impressive, with Renewal of Hope and Bastions Of Knowledge standing as a testament.
Title awarded on: March 9th 2015. (38 ABY)
Liam Torun has held the position of Quaestor of House Odan-Urr for nearly two years, from April 2013 until March 2015. His influence on the House is irrefutable, with such events as the Fall of New Tython and Return of the Light under his belt. He has steered the House through the Dark Crusade and Fading Light and has pushed it steadily from obscurity into the light. He has maintained constant activity and a friendly demeanor towards all members, often giving out advice and wisdom to the younger members.
Echo-1 aka Kintan Strider
Title awarded on: March 9th 2015. (38 ABY)
Echo-1 or Kintan Strider, better known as V'yr to many, has been a member of Odan-Urr since August 9th 2013. In a short year and a half he has maintained a steady level of activity in the Clan as well as the Herald's staff. The second Battleteam Leader of the Knights of Allusis, he set the standard on which all Clan Battleteams operate today. A great influence on Clan lore with The Varonat Crisis and Liberation: Tides of freedom events, V'yr has turned a generic Battleteam system into a fun and engaging narrative everyone can participate in. Apart from Battleteam Leader he has held the positions of Rollmaster and Proconsul of Clan Odan-Urr.
