The Awoken
"Enter the Void"
There are those who would have you believe that the ways of old will always outweigh the ways of new. Sith would have you believe that their rise to power will usher forth a new era of power. The Jedi claim to be peace keepers and yet they constantly promote war. Lies and deception fill the galaxy with dread and factions of today squabble in the dirt for superiority and dominance over the other like dogs competing to make wretched replicas of themselves. The galaxy is asleep...it is time to wake up. While others hold firmly to their temples and their home-worlds The Awoken take to the stars. Choosing the way of the traveler the new age of witches claim The Void of Space as their domain and seek more than power...we seek more than peace. We seek The Truth. In a galaxy torn by war and conflict we learned that those who commit themselves to a single set of ideologies and faiths was archaic. The desire for power and control and the pursuit of freedom and peace have gotten the galaxy nowhere but trapped within an endless cycle of conflict and bloodshed.
Life was given to this galaxy billions of years ago and what have you done with it? All social systems you've put into place are a mere sketch. The Light side is good and The Dark Side is Evil. That's all you've learned, But Light & Shadow does not equal Good & Evil. There are, in fact, two sides of the same coin. You've codified your existence to bring it down to basic size to make it comprehensible. You've created a scale so that you can forget its unfathomable scale.
It seems that so many see through a lens with narrow vision and very few open their eyes to the truth. The rebirth of Witchcraft & Magic was only the beginning...The Awoken now reach out to those willing to listen...to see.
To those lost and who seek to be found...to the weak who desire strength...to those who lie and desire truth. We ask that you look to the stars and see our mark.
We are here...we are waiting.
The Three Schools
"Knowledge is Power"
The other school is Eternal Eclipse. A school that has no primary focus on what can be learnt and instead utilizes all forms of magick for a more broader range of motion. Offense, defense, and cosmetic spells are what they study and as a result they are far more versatile in what they can do given the vast assortment of spells in which they practice.
And last but certainly not least, is the school of Divine Cinder. A more long term school of magic that studies magick such as Alchemy, Enchantment, Curses and Hexes. Utilizing spells that take more time to cast and take effect. While not considered the most offensive, they certainly provide The Awoken with valuable tools capable of causing much harm to those who we consider a threat.
The Three Houses
"Rise Beyond the Call."
For those who desire a more permanent state being, i now introduce the new houses of The Awoken. The big three that will serve as their secret forces. Revived from ancient cultures all around the galaxy, these houses represent Brotherhood, Truth, and Judgment. With each house possessing deep and mysterious lore within their roots, each house has its own set of tenets and ethics in which they abide. Padawans who graduate from the schools and gain knight rank commonly move to one of these houses as they are reserved for knights & masters only. One does not ask to enter a house. The get asked. THE AWOKEN ACCEPT NFU's. SEE HOUSE OF WOLVES BELOW
House of Truth
"May the truth guide you through deception."
There are whispers of an ancient clan of those seek that which has been forgotten. Those who have been lost...There are those who are burdened to be the keepers of legends and myth. This tribe functions as the historians of the galaxy. Before the jedi, before the sith. And some whisper before the force itself. They safeguard the bloody history of this universe, stories that have become myth and heroes that have been forgotten. They also protect the future. They know of legends and prophecies, passing them from generation to generation. Until they themselves, became forgotten. The Seekers legacy reaches far back since before recorded history. Their dealing in secrets, information and stories has been carried on by tales written in symbols within temples on distant planets. The temples locked away with doors which bear their symbol and are scattered all throughout the land, waiting to help those who may seek them. Their artifacts are present in modern day and usually involve seeing in the shadows or finding hidden things. Lastly, their symbol – a red eye topped with three triangles (a reference to the All Seeing Eye) over a large blood-red tear – can be found in several temples across the galaxy.
With the rise of The Awoken. The culture of The Seekers has been revived and have returned to their former glory. Dedicated to the truth of all things, The Seekers hunt valuable and powerful artifacts from all across the galaxy as a way to complete the 'Great Archive'. Which is a collection objects such as crystals, talismans, artifacts, and ect from ancient times. This great Archive serves as a tribute to Truth, which is what they believe to be the one true god. Seekers believe that to see the future, one must look to the past. For the past holds all truth.
Seekers come in all shapes and sizes, but always hold firm to their dedication in seeking the truth. Traveling in small groups the House of Truth often find themselves exploring the unmarked corners of the galaxy in search of these powerful artifacts. Temples, Crypts, and barren wastelands are the norm for them. They also dabble in information and secrets, they go where no one else dares to go. To the House of Truth. Knowledge, is indeed power.
House of Judgment
Father. Lord of Hunters.
Grant that my hands be steady
My aim be true
And my feet swift.
And should the worst come to pass
grant me forgiveness.
- House of Judgment Forgiveness Prayer
There are those who look down upon others for the sins & virtues committed in life...there are those who cast judgement upon others on little more than whims. And there are also those...who reserve all judgement. But we, by definition. Are judge, jury, and executioner. We stick to the shadows to serve the light. We are angels of death who carry fury upon our wings. We live in a time of fear...a time of war. Most believe that the only hope of ending the tyranny brought down upon ourselves lie upon the Jedi...Peacekeepers and preachers.
They are wrong. All hope is lost. And the only chance of ending the bloodshed. Lie in the hands of histories most notorious killers.
Shrouded in secrecy, trained from birth to master the art of death. The brothers & sisters hunted their prey without rest. Delivered the killing blow without mercy, and vanished to fight another day.
For they were The Judgement...and that, was their way.
Join the Wrath of Judgement...Master the Art of the Kill. We do not seek petty beings who do not matter...Judgment is reserved for those who ensure that these crusades continue...war makers. World destroyers. Oppressors of the weak and preaches of lies. We have a message for those who to keep the galaxy asleep.
Expect us. For we will look for you...we will find you. And you will feel our wrath. Judgement will be passed upon the wicked.
We are watching.
House of Wolves
"Dogs do as their told, wolves do as they please."
For those who seek more in life...will find a home among the wolves. A house for those who have no force talents but desire the brotherhood and loyalty that only The Awoken can provide. The House of Wolves are home to common Assassins, bounty hunters, admirals, and those who pledge their loyalty to the defense of The Awoken and their fleet. With weapons and ships supplied and housing provided, those who desire a true cause worth spilling their blood for will find a home here. With a structure that is less strict as other military units. The House of Wolves pride themselves in their freedom of command and unorthodox methods. They take orders from themselves and do what they feel must be done in a time of chaos. While in other units someone may command them to do one thing, The Wolves have the freedom to do the other if they feel that in their hearts it must be done.
A small collection of tenets put in line to keep The Wolves from falling into chaos themselves, The Awoken believe that freedom and individuality paves the way towards progress.
Do you have what it takes to join The Wolf Pack?
(Alright so, as you can see. The Awoken has been busy. I've been working on this crap for months trying to think of some new and unique content for you guys as well as think of some things for The Awoken that can put them further on the map. So hopefully this gets someones interest cause spending eight to nine hours writing this up just for it to be 'meh'ed is slightly upsetting xD. Anywho, let me know what you guys think. I hope you enjoy the read ^^)
