"Taldryan: A brotherhood within a brotherhood"
―Sharad Taldrya Hett

Taldryan is one of the five Houses of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, currently led by Quaestor Rian Aslar and Aedile Shaz'air Taldrya Rathden. Formerly one of the seven Clans, Taldryan has an immense legacy based on the glorious victories of its past. For over a dozen years, Taldryan remained undefeated in the Great Jedi Wars, and had amassed a fleet that, at one time, rivaled that of the Dark Council's. Many of its former leaders even became prestigious members of the Council in roles ranging from Tribunes to the seat of Grand Master, helping to guide the entire Brotherhood to greatness..

Formed from the independent House of Ektrosis, Taldryan was a Clan with a long and impressive history. With the powerful Krath of House Ektrosis as a base, Taldryan united the Obelisk of House Dinaari and the Sith of House Archanis to become the strongest Clan. Throughout the long and bloody history of the Dark Brotherhood, Taldryan was a pivotal military force with claim to dozens of victories until their inevitable fall from grace after the starwars:Yuuzhan Vong Incursion.

After the devastating losses suffered during the Battle of Antei, Taldryan's power within the Brotherhood, like most of the Clans, began to wane. This problem continued, compounded with many of its Elders retiring, until the Dark Council was forced to reorganize the Clan as Independent House once more. Currently, Taldryan continues to strive towards greatness and maintain the bonds of brotherhood that it was founded on and foster a community of strength and friendship.

For a complete summary of the House, refer to 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.
