<br/>The Sith are at a low tide. The Jedi Order has grown powerful since the last great war, forcing the Sith into exile in the outer rim. This, of course, must change. A Sith temple has been established on the sunless world of Vekkdra, run by a group of five Sith Masters. This temple will be a new wellspring of sith power, destined to bring down the Jedi order and place its masters as the new rulers of the galaxy.<br/><br/><strong>Vekkdra</strong><br/>Vekkdra is the sunless world, orbiting a long dead star in perpetual night. What warmth and light the planet has is sustained only by the volcanic activity that springs from the tectonic faults that crisscross the surface. Where lava does not flow there are only vast plains of ice and frozen rock. Toxic gasses and deadly steam spew from fissures. Pits of boiling sulfur and deadly sinkholes litter the landscape.<br/>It is not a world for the careless, weak, or foolish.<br/><br/><strong>The Temple</strong><br/>The Temple of Rising Darkness sits at the edge of the churning caldera of the black mountain. It is run by five Sith Masters, each specializing in a pathway to the dark side of the force.<br/><br/><strong>Darth Fain</strong><br/>Darth Fain teaches his students to channel their anger and to draw might from their wrath.<br/><br/><strong>Darth Okavo</strong><br/>Darth Okavo teaches his students to find strength and power from pain and suffering- both their own, and that of others.<br/><br/><strong>Darth Vaalhos</strong><br/>Darth Vaalhos teaches her students to use lure of desire- to use it to sharpen their own ambitions and to temp others into being their pawns.<br/><br/><strong>Darth Khraiken</strong><br/>Darth Khraiken teaches his students the power of fear, how to master their own, and how to invoke it in others.<br/><br/><strong>Darth Mikkai</strong><br/>Darth Mikkai teaches her students the virtue of pride, teaching them to place themselves above others and transcend the lesser beings around them.<br/><br/>In addition to the five masters, the temple is served by Darth Mutilus, the temple's master assassin and enforcer, and Captain Marrus Nar Holondan, the non-sith commander of their small, but deadly, fleet.<br/><br/>OOC Thread: https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=315642.0 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=315642.0)
