== Current Storyline ==
 
The current storyline follows the emergence of a new enemy group known as [[The Children of Mortis]]. This mysterious new enemy unleashed devastation upon the Clans of the Brotherhood in the Fifteenth Great Jedi War.
 
=== Shadows Unveiled ===
At the order of the Grand Master, the Brotherhood undertook a massive research effort, both to understand the appearance of the Children of Mortis, and the power they wielded with their Force-embued crystals. Each of the great Clans chose their own paths to study as information about the Children was slowly learned. Comprised of three groups representing the Light, Grey, and Dark sides of the Force, this group used crystals formed from the souls of Force-sensitives to create powerful weapons, armor, ships, and organic monstrosities. All of this was done at the command of their leader, The Father, who hoped to usher in a new age of unbound Force control.
 
=== Great Jedi War: Ascension ===
==== Chapter 1 ====
The Council believes the Children are planning to attack Arx, their seat of power. Still rebuilding from the attack by [[The Collective]], the system was ripe for a powerful enemy to push out the Brotherhood. Yet they were mistaken.
 
Launching massive crystal asteroids, the Children of Mortis unleashed hell upon the seven Clans' home systems. Each asteroid slowing at impact to create a large impact site, The Children set off to gather what research had been found on their crystals, as well as any stored crystals the clans might possess. While this assault is launched, The Father took control of The Harbinger as is his will to take a more direct hand in overseeing the attack. Avitus Oligard, praised for his insight on each of the Clans, goes to aid Saira O'Setera as she begins the birthing process.
 
==== Chapter 2 ====
The Council frantically tries to comprise the data on the crystals, hoping to find a way to stop their power. Each of the Clans show different strengths and weaknesses against the Children as they defend their homes. With the asteroids safely planet side, the Children began the next phase of their conquest, activating the asteroids as "World Seeds". These seeds begin to drain the life from the planets they reside upon, causing even more crystals to grow.
 
==== Chapter 3 ====
A method of purifying the crystals is found, and released into the Clans' systems. Each of the Clans show great strength and power as they push back the Children from their homes. In shock, the Children retreat, seemingly vanishing into an ethereal realm. Saira gives birth to a baby boy, who begins to age toward adulthood rapidly.
 
The now-purified crystals are harvested and used by the Clans to create unique and powerful tools, defenses, and weapons. The Grand Master begins his own study of the portals the Children summoned, hoping they might find a way to destroy their enemy, and find the illusive former Grand Master, Telaris Cantor.
 
A toddler child is brought before the Father, revealed at last to be a Skeleton of pure crystal. Once known as Matthias Westland, thousands of years ago, The Father appraises the toddler as an appropriate vessel.
 
Still residing within the Cor’neria System, Rath Oligard watches streams of data regarding the Children's attack against the Brotherhood, appraising how best to use this opportunity to destroy his most hated enemy.

Crack grew in the factions of the Severian Principate, and Tenixir Revenants. Influenced by the mystical crystals that had been recovered over the previous few years, both factions split in half, each with one favoring peace, the other all out war. War comes to them all on the planet of Dandoran.
 
At the invitation of Py'zah the Hutt, The Principate and Revenants arrive to bid on a large cache of crystals, when shots are finally fired. The Brotherhood answers both sides call with each member choosing for themselves who they would like to support. Within The Principate, there were the brutal Restorers and the peace-seeking Harmonists. For the Revenants, there was the vengeance-seeking Retributionists and the opportunistic Expansionists.

Things became more complicated when the Restorers revealed they had melded the crystals with soldiers, creating fearsome Restoration Troopers, large lumbering beasts that were near impossible to kill. At the same time, The Seer, representing a new entity known as The Children of Mortis, brought with her Crystal Ascendants, beings also augmented with crystal but in such a way their connection to the force was magnified greatly.

Eventually, The Harmonists won the day. The Seer retreated with Avitus Oligard in tow. The Principate agreed to begin demilitarizing their armies, and the Revenants agreed to strike out to far away systems to prevent further bloodshed.

{{Quote|To understand the Dark Brotherhood's current position, one would be remiss to dismiss the past. The Dark Council has seen many changes and shifts, but at its core remains the same. They might seem small at first, but overtime they have coalesced into a singular vision driven by one man’s ambition and desire for order. These are the changes that have inevitably lead us to our current course. To pinpoint their origin, one would need to go back to the start of the Dark Crusades, I suppose. That is as good of a place as any to start.|[[Farrin Xies]], [[Headmaster]], 35 ABY}}

== Databank: Brotherhood Universe ==


'''TL;DR'''
The following data bank provides a quick reference to information about persons, locations, and organizations of interest that show up in the Brotherhood storyline.  
* The Brotherhood mobilizes against a new foe known as the “One Sith.” This would become known as the Dark Crusades and Fading Light.
* Dark Crusade planets: Krayiss II, Nfolgai, Bhargebba, Ch’Hodos, Ashas Ree, Athiss, Svolten, Jaguada, Kalsunor, Korriz, Dromund Kaas, Ziost.
* Fading Light Planets: Bosthirda, Begeren, and Nicht Ka.
*  The Clans and Houses of the Brotherhood utilized all the forces at their command to decimate the One Sith forces and compete against their rivals within the Brotherhood itself. After capturing a planet and repelling the One Sith, the Dark Council was supposed to award stewardship of the planets to the unit they believed contributed most to the victory.
* Darth Esoteric is the leader of the One Sith and the primary antagonist for the Dark Crusade.
* Muz Ashen tries to gather artifacts from each conquered planet in an attempt to execute a sacred ritual (the Rite of Obscuration) that will grant him immortality.
* The Brotherhood fractures into three parts: those loyal to protecting Muz while he completes the Rite, those loyal to Jac Cotelin in stopping Muz, and Darth Esoteric’s anarchist approach to take control away from the Grand Masters.
* The Rite is prevented, but Antei is destroyed in the process.
* Muz and Jac make a tentative peace. Muz steps down as Grand Master.
* DGM Pravus assumes the Throne.
* Esoteric is revealed to be Lord Marshal Damon Nix—Pravus’ right hand and a plant within the One Sith organization that allowed the Brotherhood to win skirmish after skirmish with relatively little loss.
* Grand Master Darth Pravus begins to lay the groundwork for his New Order.

Current Storyline

The current storyline follows the emergence of a new enemy group known as The Children of Mortis. This mysterious new enemy unleashed devastation upon the Clans of the Brotherhood in the Fifteenth Great Jedi War.

Shadows Unveiled

At the order of the Grand Master, the Brotherhood undertook a massive research effort, both to understand the appearance of the Children of Mortis, and the power they wielded with their Force-embued crystals. Each of the great Clans chose their own paths to study as information about the Children was slowly learned. Comprised of three groups representing the Light, Grey, and Dark sides of the Force, this group used crystals formed from the souls of Force-sensitives to create powerful weapons, armor, ships, and organic monstrosities. All of this was done at the command of their leader, The Father, who hoped to usher in a new age of unbound Force control.

Great Jedi War: Ascension

Chapter 1

The Council believes the Children are planning to attack Arx, their seat of power. Still rebuilding from the attack by The Collective, the system was ripe for a powerful enemy to push out the Brotherhood. Yet they were mistaken.

Launching massive crystal asteroids, the Children of Mortis unleashed hell upon the seven Clans' home systems. Each asteroid slowing at impact to create a large impact site, The Children set off to gather what research had been found on their crystals, as well as any stored crystals the clans might possess. While this assault is launched, The Father took control of The Harbinger as is his will to take a more direct hand in overseeing the attack. Avitus Oligard, praised for his insight on each of the Clans, goes to aid Saira O'Setera as she begins the birthing process.

Chapter 2

The Council frantically tries to comprise the data on the crystals, hoping to find a way to stop their power. Each of the Clans show different strengths and weaknesses against the Children as they defend their homes. With the asteroids safely planet side, the Children began the next phase of their conquest, activating the asteroids as "World Seeds". These seeds begin to drain the life from the planets they reside upon, causing even more crystals to grow.

Chapter 3

A method of purifying the crystals is found, and released into the Clans' systems. Each of the Clans show great strength and power as they push back the Children from their homes. In shock, the Children retreat, seemingly vanishing into an ethereal realm. Saira gives birth to a baby boy, who begins to age toward adulthood rapidly.

The now-purified crystals are harvested and used by the Clans to create unique and powerful tools, defenses, and weapons. The Grand Master begins his own study of the portals the Children summoned, hoping they might find a way to destroy their enemy, and find the illusive former Grand Master, Telaris Cantor.

A toddler child is brought before the Father, revealed at last to be a Skeleton of pure crystal. Once known as Matthias Westland, thousands of years ago, The Father appraises the toddler as an appropriate vessel.

Still residing within the Cor’neria System, Rath Oligard watches streams of data regarding the Children's attack against the Brotherhood, appraising how best to use this opportunity to destroy his most hated enemy.

Year Story Arc Fiction
39 ABY Rite of Supremacy: Escalation

Escalation: Chapter 1
Escalation: Chapter 2
Escalation: Chapter 3

Crack grew in the factions of the Severian Principate, and Tenixir Revenants. Influenced by the mystical crystals that had been recovered over the previous few years, both factions split in half, each with one favoring peace, the other all out war. War comes to them all on the planet of Dandoran.

At the invitation of Py'zah the Hutt, The Principate and Revenants arrive to bid on a large cache of crystals, when shots are finally fired. The Brotherhood answers both sides call with each member choosing for themselves who they would like to support. Within The Principate, there were the brutal Restorers and the peace-seeking Harmonists. For the Revenants, there was the vengeance-seeking Retributionists and the opportunistic Expansionists.

Things became more complicated when the Restorers revealed they had melded the crystals with soldiers, creating fearsome Restoration Troopers, large lumbering beasts that were near impossible to kill. At the same time, The Seer, representing a new entity known as The Children of Mortis, brought with her Crystal Ascendants, beings also augmented with crystal but in such a way their connection to the force was magnified greatly.

Eventually, The Harmonists won the day. The Seer retreated with Avitus Oligard in tow. The Principate agreed to begin demilitarizing their armies, and the Revenants agreed to strike out to far away systems to prevent further bloodshed.
