SETTING INFORMATION

• Structure Name: The Snowpeak Sanctuary
• Classification: Jedi Enclave
• Location: Eshan - Southern Regions
• Affiliation: The Hidden Path | Everest Vale
• Accessibility: Isolated but not hidden. The enclave is located in Eshan's southern mountain ranges, accessible via a single fortified path or through air transport. While its doors are open to Jedi and Echani guests, entry is restricted to those invited or approved by the enclave leadership. The location's remoteness naturally deters casual visitors.
• Description: A towering, monolithic structure of Eshan white marble rising from the snowy highlands, the Snowpeak Sanctuary embodies serenity and strength. Its architecture fuses Jedi minimalism with Echani elegance: sharp, clean lines that mirror the surrounding peaks. The enclave is a place of quiet contemplation and disciplined training, serving as a sanctuary for Jedi seeking refuge from the galaxy's chaos while also welcoming Echani who wish to learn from or collaborate with the Jedi.

POINTS OF INTEREST

• Grand Spire: The heart of the enclave, containing the central meditation hall, archives, and council chamber. Its high ceilings and open design create an atmosphere of solemn stillness, lit by natural skylights that bathe the marble in soft light.
• Meditation Gardens: Snow-dusted paths winding through hardy mountain flora and reflecting pools. Designed for quiet reflection and centred Force practices, incorporating both Jedi and Echani aesthetics.
• Training Courtyard: An open-air space where Jedi may train in the unique style of Echani and Jedi blended combat. Its stone platforms are built for martial discipline and Force-assisted combat.
• Healing House: A fusion of Jedi healing techniques and Echani recovery traditions, offering care for both body and spirit.
• Observation Platform: A high terrace facing the night sky, used for stargazing and deep contemplation, one of the first additions personally requested by Everest Vale.
• Ceremonial Hall: A modest but symbolic chamber containing ancestral carvings inlaid with marble, representing the union between the Jedi and Eshan's warrior culture.

SECURITY

• Rating: Medium
• Assets:
  • Jedi stationed within the enclave (rotating assignment)
  • Environmental defenses (difficult mountain approach, natural isolation)
  • Security systems: perimeter sensors, alarms, and non-lethal deterrents
  • Limited defensive shielding for emergencies
  • Echani volunteer guards (liaisons between the enclave and local clans)

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The Snowpeak Sanctuary was commissioned by the leadership of the Hidden Path in cooperation with Eshan's leadership, with Everest Vale — a native of the planet — entrusted to oversee its creation. Conceived as a bridge between Jedi ideals and Echani traditions, and to serve as part of the Hidden Path's cross-system Network of anti-Imperial rebels, the enclave symbolises defiance, discipline and new beginnings.

Construction began with a ceremonial laying of the first cornerstone, a block of polished Eshan white marble, placed by Eve herself in the presence of Jedi representatives and Echani elders. This act earned the project cultural legitimacy, grounding it in Eshan's ancestral heritage rather than presenting it as an off-world imposition.

Upon its creation, the enclave became a centre of training for young Jedi seeking an environment of quiet discipline, as well as a meeting place for Echani duelists curious about the Jedi's ways, and a place of diplomatic gatherings between the Hidden Path and clan leaders of Eshan. Upon Everest's ascension to knighthood, she was granted charge of the enclave by Master Valery Noble , sworn to the duty of overseeing its protection, management, and training of its students. To aid her in this endeavour, Jedi Steward Orien Daral was assigned to help oversee general maintainance of the temple.

Though still young like its leader, the Snowpeak Sanctuary stands as a symbol: a place where past and present meet, where refuge is offered freely to those suffering at the whim of Imperial oppression, and where the Jedi's light finds a home among the snows of Eshan.
