Diarch Rellik
Lord of the Diarchy
THE BROTHERHOOD
A Force Order of Discipline, Control, and Choice
The Brotherhood
The Brotherhood is the Diarchy’s Force order, headquartered within the Crucible of Order on Bastion. It exists to train, regulate, and support Force-sensitive individuals living and operating within Diarchal space. They are the idea of the Diarchy made manifest.
Those who come to the Brotherhood arrive from many paths. Some are young and newly discovered. Others are older, carrying long histories shaped by war, loss, or survival. Some train as warriors. Others pursue scholarship, healing, ritual, or quiet study within the Crucible’s libraries. No single path is required.
Members of the Brotherhood are trusted to carry the responsibility that comes with power.
Do all that you can.
See your destiny realized.
Reach for the stars.
Purpose
Some records say the galaxy has been at war for 30 millennia. The brotherhood is a chance at a new way. We are taught that the whills of the force use the flow of midichlorians to balance the galaxy. What if we took that responsibility on ourselves. A shared effort to not damn each other for the simple act of living. True compassion and strength.
The Brotherhood seeks to bring that balance tangibly to real space. No longer as a concept or judgement. With great power comes great responsibility, prove your actions are for the greater good, no matter the cost.
Those who wield the Force in defense of others are not condemned here, they are guided. When members struggle, when the weight of the Dark presses heavily, the Brotherhood does not cast them aside. They are supported, steadied, and brought back through discipline, unity, and shared purpose.
If our force users and governments are stuck to one extreme, we will always have war. The brotherhood seeks to show that there is another way to achieve peace or control. We will no longer be pawns in the game of “balance” for the Whills.
The Brotherhood is the true future force of the galaxy. It is the Diarchy’s ideals made manifest. The members of the brotherhood exemplify what it means to know compassion and power. Protect the galaxy through and achieve peace through strength.
Origins
The philosophical foundations of the Brotherhood trace back to Kakus, father of Reign and Rellik. Due to his unique nature and long lifespan, Kakus was able to study both the Light and Dark without remaining bound to any single doctrine. His understanding did not come quickly, it was shaped over time and in a life full of conflict.
In the years before their father’s disappearance, Reign and Rellik fully embraced these ideas. They themselves struggled with the pull of the Dark at times, yet consistently brought one another back.
From this bond, the Brotherhood was born.
Philosophy
The Brotherhood does not demand that its members be good.
It does not encourage them to be cruel.
Members are taught that emotion is inevitable. Love is powerful. Power is dangerous. Do not lose yourself.
The Brotherhood emphasizes responsibility, restraint, and mutual reliance. No one walks their path alone.
The guiding principles of the Brotherhood are expressed through its code:
Bonds of Unity Create Power
Power Shared Is Power Multiplied
Power Multiplied Creates Purpose
Purpose for Order over Chaos
Loyalty Above All
Interpretation is personal although the words bond us together.
Training and Life within the Crucible
Training within the Crucible of Order is intense, flexible, and personal.
Initiates advance at their own pace. Formal tests exist for each rank, but promotion may also be earned through merit, service, and character. Independent study is encouraged. Classes are ongoing. Leaders are always available to mentor those who seek one on one guidance.
(Out of character: ranks are for RP flavor only. You may play any rank at any time.)
Debate is encouraged. Members are invited to explore the Force openly, discuss philosophy, and define their values. A pacifist healer has as much place in the Brotherhood as a warrior who wields lightning on the battlefield.
For those who are younger. No one in the brotherhood is forced down a path. You are free, taken care of by the state, and having the force does not force you in. It is a choice. If you want to be a senator go for it. It is also a social care institution until you are ready to go on your own.
Role within the Diarchy
The Brotherhood operates alongside other Diarchal institutions.
Its members may serve as:
- Battlefield leaders or support within the Armed Forces
- Advisors, investigators, or analysts
- Intelligence assets working with the Network
- Scholars, archivists, trainers, or ritual specialists
- Social workers, teachers, and parents of force sensitives.
- Independent agents acting under Diarchal mandate
Members are encouraged to strive for excellence, whether that means finding peace, mastering power, or standing against the Diarchy’s enemies when needed.
