Eternal Father
With the resignation of the Alderaanian High Council and subsequent fall of House Organa, Alderaan's fate was poised on a knife's edge. Already, dark forces began making moves across the entire world, the Eternal Father of the Kainate among them. In a swift motion, the Dark Lord had struck at Castle Bastion, a stronghold for the Knights of Alderaan in Sanctuary City. Accompanied by a small cadre of Blackblade Guard and Saaraishash Inquisitors, the defending Knights had been caught unawares and cut off from the rest of the city.
The rest of the city had yet to even become aware of Bastion's fall, so quickly had it been put to the sword. What survivors among the Knights had been rounded up for interrogation and experimentation, with the commanding knight suffering at the pleasure of the Eternal Father. There was little that the Eternal Father could gleam from the knight-commander, and so had contented Himself by playing with His victim to alleviate boredom. That time too was coming to an end, and so the knight-commander levitated through the air in unceasing torment.
All while Darth Carnifex waited for His co-conspirator's arrival.
He'd kept her appraised of all His doings on Alderaan ever since the Covenant began to encroach upon the system. From the network of Nezumi spies to His meddling in the minor noble houses, enriching their resentment of the Organas and those allied to the previous status quo. There were always those who felt slighted by the prevailing order, those who's insecurities could be bent to the will of the Sith. Darth Carnifex enticed their darkest desires from their hearts, promising them all that they desired should they pledge their loyalty. It mattered little if such promises were kept, they were ultimately disposable pawns.
The doors to the council chamber opened, and a winged Vanr Inquisitor entered. "The Lady of Secrets has arrived, Supreme Excellency."
