"You earned this right by proving your worth in battle. Now do your duty and protect our home."
―Keirdagh Taldrya Cantor

The Gatekeeper of Taldryan is an honourary position granted to Taldryan's most seasoned warriors. While in the position they are in charge of the honour guard protecting Taldryan's Great Hall.

History

The Jedi Order used the position of Gate Master as the head of the Jedi Temple Security Force. It was bestowed upon the Jedi Peacekeeper tasked with guarding the four main entrances of the Temple of Coruscant. The Gate Master's duty was to oversee the appointment of Padawan Guards to oversee the entrances by day, and Knights to keep the watch at night.

Upon completion of the Taldryan Great Hall, it was decided that in addition to the security forces provided by the Taldryan Expansionary Force, select warriors from within its ranks would be assigned to assist and supplement the forces guarding Taldryan's seat of power. Upon the decree of then Proconsul Keirdagh Taldrya Cantor, the position was created, and an edict issued, that Taldryan's greatest warriors would vie with one another in regulated combat, in order to earn the honour of being named Taldryan's Gate Keeper.

Behind the Scenes

In an attempt to encourage participation in gaming activities by Taldryan members, it was decided to create an honourary title to go hand in hand with a new series of monthly gaming competitions. In order to decide who will win the competition, and earn the honourary title per month, the competition will be judged on Clusters of Fire earned via the PvP Gaming Score (Matches Won)*(Matches Won/Matches Played).

This title is not an official title (i.e.: it will never appear on a dossier), it is merely granted in order to give bragging rights to Taldryan's most prolific PvP Gamer over the course of a month. The title can be maintained for periods longer than a month if the member earns it.
