- ―Sharad Taldrya Hett
Taldryan is one of several Houses within the Brotherhood of Dark Jedi. As a Clan, it had two constituent Houses: Dinaari and Ektrosis.
For a summary of the House, see the Taldryan Prospectus.
History of Taldryan
-Getting re-written, bitches.
The Last Independent House (14 ABY)
Closing days of House Ektrosis, victory in the Second Great Jedi War and QUA Jarla attempting to remain independent before the DC forces the Great Clanning.
The Great Clanning
Desparate bid to bring order to the unruly Houses or something, guy in charge (Khyron?) ordered all Indy Houses to Clan, joining a House of each Order into a single unit.
Destiny of a Clan (15 - 17 ABY)
First great victory for Taldryan and the first time the Clan pits itself against the leaders of the Brotherhood.
Shadow of Civil War
Zorro "instigates" a civil war between the Clans of the Brotherhood in the wake of GM Thedek's (reason he quit). Using this instability, he rose to power within the Brotherhood only bringing an end to hostilities once the Clans were weakened to the point of being unable to fight back.
Taldryan's first official victory over the other Clans of the Brotherhood in a Great Jedi War. Setting the tone for many years and many victories to come.
Balancing Power and Corruption
So, Zorro goes insane. Tal and CNS team up (more or less) to remove him from teh Iron Throne which leads to some crazy fight that ends with Zorro magically destroying the Dark Hall on Eos.
Mavvles lost his position as CON early due to Zorro's ass madness and passes the reigns of Taldryan to former GM Jac Cotelin (squee!) who helps draw Taldryan together against tyranny. Of course, we come out more awesome than ever before...
Rebirth (18 - 24 ABY)
Golden age, winning comps, everyone becoming DC, revitalizing of the Brotherhood because of JO and movies and whatnot.
Changing of the Guard
Starting with (I think) Sharad's departure from QUA of Dinaari to become OFH, Taldryan's leadership began to rapidly transition as various members were inducted into the Dark Council.
Exodus
Bad EH, we leave. I think there's actually fiction stuff for this somewhere... pretty sure about how we're forced to abandon the Sahare (?) System in the middle of an EH attack. Re-locate our shit to Kr'Tal...
This is the War That Never Ends....
The Yuuzhan Vong War (25 - 27 ABY)
The harrowing encounter with the stupid Vong as they blow our shit up and we run away.
The Pride Before the Fall
Tensions increase between Clans leading to minor conflicts, followed by a random training exercise that ends when the Yuuzhan Vong penetrate (yay) the Shroud and attack the Brotherhood at Antei.
Battle of Antei
They bend us over a table, Crix and many ships die. So sad. There's an RO about this (it was good... I think).
Restoration of Faith (28-32 ABY)
Title of a sweet Dresden short story, plus we all work at becoming re-awesome. We have a sweetass montage to get awesome again, then we show up to the fight when they're all gone?we have a sweetass montage to get awesome again, then we show up to the fight when they're all gone?
Liberation of Antei
Climax of this amazing little story with the Vo-...wait, they're gone and we're fighting random Jedi on Antei instead! I think we have a story about Tal and some library or something. Oh and Tal's first second place GJW. It's all downhill from here.
Random Stuff
We fight Killicks, Kir becomes a DP (duh), and whatever. I'm sure Tal actually did something.
Extinguishing the Light (33 - 35 ABY)
Icky Jedi stuff, indy house again, moar fighting stuff to current happenings.
End of an Era
We become a House... again. In the wake of Orderless Indy Houses... we have an ORDER war. Yay?
The Enemies Within
Infiltrated by Light Jedi? How could that possibly ever happen? Shadow's codpiece breaks Mike Halcyon's hand... awesome. Also, we fight them on New Tython... it's the planet named after the Old Republic starting planet Tython (original, no?)
New Horizons (36 ABY - Present)
Stuff that happened recently... I kind spaced on this, though I made a kickass graphic for a Seal. I... I think Zorro and Faethor came back from reality dead to become fictionally dead. Hurray! This is probably a bigger deal to Tal fictionally because both former GMs were enemies of the Clan.
