Blades of Chaos is the elite battle team of House Dorimad Sol.

History

The Beginning

Since the times of Tulak Hord, the legions of the Sith have exemplified those who give their lives in dedication to the Dark Side. Under Darth Tyrannus, the Dark Acolytes were used as a personal arm of the Dark Lord. Asajj Ventress, Sora Bulq, and many others were considered to be the apprentices of Darth Tyrannus and thus were trusted with the most critical of tasks. In the same manner, the Emperor’s Hand were the direct agents of the Emperor. In this sense, House Dorimad Sol also recognizes the most eligible members of the House.

Duty

The Provost of Dorimad Sol falls under the direct control of the Quaestor. Much like the Master-Student Program, the Provost are given the good fortune of displaying the best of his or her talents for the betterment of the House by working with their Advisor, the Quaestor. In addition, a simple set of tasks will be set by the Summit providing a vital lifeline for the most important thing of all: recognition and due reward. For the show of fidelity to the House, every elected Provost is awarded a place in the Hall of the Broken Blade, a prestigious position that is given only to the most deserving. Their name and tale will be emblazoned in the archives of the House, for all future generations to remember and strive to replicate. A Provost is a weapon, used to help the Summit achieve the greatest level of success possible for the House. Each month, a new Provost will be installed in accordance with the best exhibit of drive, focus, helpfulness, and all around desirable qualities. Above all, the Provost set themselves above the standard in dedication to their House.

Collectively, the Provost operate from a Battleteam. With each month, the Roster grows to include the newly elected Provost. Upon filling the roster (with 12), the cycle begins over. Known as the Blades of Chaos, this Battleteam works as the Quaestor’s right hand. The Battleteam leader, known as the Provost-Errant, leads the team in the absence of the Quaestor’s directive. The Provost-Errant is chosen by showing a drive for success and the enthusiasm for leadership.

Award

Pauldron

Each Provost is given the right to wear the sacred Pauldron of Dorimad Sol, a brilliantly crafted and exquisitely adorned piece of armor. Though its practical uses are limited, the Pauldron shows exactly what it is meant to: the pride of Dorimad Sol. The Pauldron is constructed from a rare alloy found only on Caina and the leathered hide of a Krayt Dragon.

Night Bringer

Each Provost is also honored with a sword. This weapon, like the Pauldron, is a sacred thing for each member. It is crafted with the utmost care, time and pride by some of smiths of House Dorimad Sol. The sword is made from the finest metal available and has the words 'House Dorimad Sol' etched into the blade. While this added feature provides no advantages in battle, it gives this fine weapon a priceless value for the owners.
