The Thread of Illumination

by Leucosia

The last apprentice of an ancient Order on the brink of extinction must accept her new path, and learn to let go of all she has ever known in the pursuit of truth. Going against the traditions of her Order, she must now choose between the light and the dark in a war that spreads like fire across the Galaxy. [Hiatus]

The Thread of Illumination

"The secret to change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but building on the new"

It has long been written that the Jedi and the Sith are not the only ones with knowledge of the force within the Galaxy

For many Orders have both risen and fallen throughout the decades, yet one forgotten Order still remains...

An Order so ancient that barely even a trace of them can be found within any culture, even the most astute Jedi would be hard pressed to find even a mention of it within
the deepest, darkest depths of the Jedi Archives

The Mejii; an Order of force users once venerable and distinguished, now shrouded in both myth and legend.
An Order that chooses neither the light nor the dark, it's members merely move within the force itself; embracing the ebbs and flows of it's will

Secluded to a small planet so far out into the outer rim, that it is doubtful even the Republic or it's Senate are even aware of it's abundance of life.
Since the Mejii first emerged, the Order has served the planet of Aeolis and it's Assembly; much like the Jedi serve the Republic

Protecting and watching over both Aeolis and it's moon, Ravier on behalf of the Aeolisian Assembly, the Mejii perform this duty as a gesture of thanks for the sanctuary the Assembly provides the Order

In return for their service, the Aeolisian Assembly allow the Mejii to live peacefully, and without outside influence of the greater Galaxy in the Order's quest to explore and understand the force

Steeped in tradition, it is these contraints of its singular service to the Aeolisian's that have ultimately served as the downfall of the once great and mighty Order

With a Galaxy at war, and the struggle between both light and dark; The Mejii are flailing

The once thriving Order is now faced with the very real prospect of extinction, and The Mejii's numbers have now dwindled to all but three; a Grand Master, a Master and an Apprentice

With a war that ceaselessly and mercilessly rages on throughout the Galaxy, and the force dangerously out of balance;
no star system, no planet, no life form or even force user is safe from the evil clutches of the Sith
