The Covenant views the force as a vibrant current that flows through love and creativity. Rejecting Denon's corporate oppression and traditional Jedi asceticism. Members cultivate a force imbued oasis, practice rituals celebrating creativity and art and train in athletic and intellectual disciplines to protect their haven.

SOCIAL INFORMATION

• Membership: Membership is open to force sensitive women seeking refuge from Denon's corporate oppression or galactic dangers. Candidates are often refugees from the planet's lower levels or smuggled from other worlds via Darkwire or black market networks. Initiation involves the Tide of Sanctuary ritual, where candidates stand in the Veil Pool and share a creative offering (poetry, song, or dance). Then they are given nectar by senior members, pledging to uphold the Covenant's values of love, freedom, and resilience. Prospective members must demonstrate force sensitivity and a commitment to the community, often through trials of empathy, creativity, or athletic skill.
• Motives: The Covenant seeks to provide a haven for force sensitives outside of jedi or sith, fostering a sisterhood where love, art, and self expression thrive. They aim to protect Eryndor's Veil from corporate discovery, nurture its force imbued ecosystem and empower members to resist Denon's corporatocracy through spiritual and physical strength. Inspired by Ayumi Pallopides' vision, they strive to preserve her legacy of liberation and cultivate a community that celebrates creative expression.
• Rules and Teachings:
  • The Covenant follows The Path of the Ember, which teaches:
    • The Force flows through love, creativity and amplified by forming bonds.
    • Radical self acceptance and vulnerability are strengths, balanced by disciplined training.
    • Art (poetry, music, dance) is a sacred force meditation, revealing its truths.
    • The island's ecosystem is a partner, to be nurtured and protected.
• Reputation: The Covenant is largely unknown outside its members due to its cloaked existence. Within Denon's underground, rumors circulate among Darkwire and The Family of a hidden force sect on Denon. Whether they are whispered and viewed with curiosity or suspicion is unknown. Corporate authorities, if aware, would consider it an untapped resource to exploit and a threat to their control. Possibly labeling it a terrorist cell akin to Darkwire. Other Force traditions, such as traditional Jedi, might view the Covenant's philosophy as unorthodox or risky, while light leaning groups not of the jedi could see it as a reimagining of the Force.
• Openness: The Covenant is highly secretive, revealing their presence only to trusted allies or refugees. Members use force illusions and slicing to maintain cloaking devices, avoiding corporate detection. They work cautiously with other Denon groups (e.g., Darkwire, Corpsec) for supplies but under covers and aliases. Share teachings only with initiates, fearing exposure. They welcome collaboration with those opposing corporate oppression, provided secrecy is maintained.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The Covenant of the Twin Moons was born from the dreams of Ayumi Pallopides, a Denon senator who wanted to reform the planet's corporate rulers. In the waning years of the Republic, amidst Denon's neon sprawl, Ayumi ventured District 20's Kaloran Art Museum. There she found Lysara, a wandering lost soul from an outer rim world where women wove poetry, dance. Their artistry channeling the force as a tide of freedom. Lysaran showed Ayumi the modest hovel she had gotten etched with verses and glowing with crystalline vines. She taught the former senator that the force flowed through art, creativity, and bonds, a legacy crushed by sith conquerors to their world. Other one she met later was Sylithia, a core world resident who believed warrior women should master athletic trials, poetic oratory, and force enhanced dueling. She was impressed with the force using former senator was so disciplined on this society conquered by corporate powers. Guided by Force visions of twin moons Lunara and Sylvara dancing in Denon's sky on the lakes reflection. Ayumi vowed to weave do what she could to make a sanctuary.

Two years later, Ayumi founded Eryndor's Veil, a hidden island in District 24's synthetic lake. She acquired from Sasori their advanced cloaking devices and shielded the island from Moonveil Communications while asking Arya a Fallanassi to work her force illusions. Inspired by Lysaran's mysticism. With rogue slicers and force sensitive artisans, she crafted an oasis of bioluminescent vines, crystalline trees, and glowing pools, sustained by Sasori's advanced technologies, the Lysara and Sylithia's force skills and her own. The First Chant of the Veil, a ritual of dance and song under the moon, wove a protective shroud. The island melting into shadows like a desert mirage. This birthed The Path of the Ember, blending Lysara's celebration of bonds, art, and nature with Sylithia's disciplined strength, viewing the force as an enchanted current of artisty, athleticism, creativity, and resilience. The Covenant grew as a clandestine sisterhood, drawing force sensitive refugees. Outcasts and those destitute from Denon's lower levels. Ayumi taught Lysaran rituals of poetry, dance, and visual art, channeling the force through bonds. While Sylithian trials of dueling, oratory, and athleticism, forging warriors and poets. Her teachings, like desert tales, wove enchanted stories of starlit dancing and strength. A year later members showed skills in force enhanced artistry, dances that used crystals, poems that pulsed with the force and combat. Their movements fluid as desert silks. Their secrecy was paramount.

Ayumi's officiated two years later as repairs and Upcity were going into their largest remodels the wedding between Lysara and Sylithia rumored for some that they knew best mostly. The pair rarely left the island. The synthetic lake served as a testbed for grander projects as if they could make plant life sustain there. Ayumi could think of ways to adapt it for her ideas of revitalization efforts on Denon. CorpSec tried an assassination on the former senator when after the Republics fall she stayed neaarly exclusively in Upcity or would sneak to District 20. To protect the oasis she passed on much of her duties to Sylvara Kwe one of the first students who had become an accomplished dancer. Her Force visions expanded rituals, weaving poetry and dance into force ballets invoking emotional weight to many of the others. The Covenant faced constant threats from corporate spies and underworld betrayals, their secrecy honed through rituals and slicing. By 902 ABY, they remain a myth an oasis of artists and warrior poets. Their tales and ballads echoing Lysara's and Sylithia's a beacon in Denon's corporate desert. Eventually with the Empires attack on Coruscant Ayumi took a small group to help her get Lirien and Seryn and their daughter Kalia. Offering the former vice chancellor and her wife sanctuary as the force worlds seemed to be going into shambled.

With its completion, Denon served as a place for members to go and practice. Their beauty, expression and art would serve them well on the island itself.. it would also allow them to meet the people who Denon who were allies of Ayumi's vision for a reformed and revitalized Denon. The club on an island in district 19's artificial sea allowed them to practice their poems, songs and dances. In a place outside the island sanctuary and they would be able to go back there at the end of the night.. Ayumi's vision for several reformed districts inspiring them as their works on the island shows it could be done under the correct circumstances.
