|---|
Accessibility: The academy is located in the jungles of Lehon, tucked away from the prying eyes of society. For the most part, only members of The Order know its location.
Description: The Fulcrum is a towering monolith of black stone and durasteel, standing at roughly 200 meters in height. There is a large landing bay in front of the structure, able to house a large assortment of smaller spacecraft. As one enters the grounds, they are surrounded by a large, exotic garden. Within this garden are several areas used for training students. Inside the building itself are more training areas, as well as rooms used for meditation. One can also find the living quarters of the Order, as well as their common areas. At the very top of the Fulcrum are the personal quarters for Petrichor, as well as a library filled with various artifacts and texts. Some of these have been found by Petrichor personally, and others have been brought to the Fulcrum by members of the Order.
There are several facilities located in the subterranean levels of the Fulcrum. Most of the Order are not permitted inside, unless under direct supervision of one of the approved members of the Order (along with a fireteam of Petrite troopers). One of the main features of this part is the Chamber of Rebirth, the location where the Petrite troopers are formed. There are also quarters for the Makers (the sorcerers that transform the troopers), as well as several ritual chambers for different purposes (most of which remain secret).

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The Order weren't the builders of the ancient Rakatan structure now known as the Fulcrum. Petrichor spent much time trying to discover the secrets therein, but to no avail. All that seemed to be left were ancient statues and endless mystery. His work there started off small. He only had a handful of potential students at first. It wasns't for many years that the Fulcrum would become the academy that it is today. Over the years, Petrichor encountered more and more Sith that had become disillusioned with the current state of their people. They came to Petrichor looking for a new way, and he was more than happy to oblige.
Over time, the Fulcrum became a place where Sith could explore the more peripheral sides of Dark Side philosophy. They were able to convene and discuss ideas away from the rigid mindset of Sith society, and learn of hidden truths that were often considered heretical within the Sith. Eventually, Petrichor established the Order in a more formal way, with a proper hierarchy, curriculum, and security force. He could now spread his teachings in the way that he had always intended, as well as try to push his personal agenda to the farthest reaches of the galaxy.
