L O S T
We are a people borne not from some blind crusade to conquer, but from a desire to learn, to grow, to understand the universe we were born into
The Je'daii were founded with the core principles of balance, moderation, knowledge, and power.* They strive to understand the mysteries of the Force, and the Galaxy it forged, adhering to neither the Ashla (Light) or the Bogan (Dark) and instead finding a path of pure equilibrium they named the Bendu (Balance).
Unlike other Orders, the Je'daii seek primarily to study and observe the Force. They lay claim to no worlds, remain impartial to the sways of Galactic Politics, and answer solely to the Force itself. A Je'daii understands that they cannot stray too far to the Ashla or the Bogan, and falling too close to either results in long periods of meditation to restore their inner Balance.
All Je'daii are encouraged to keep an open mind. They understand that no path is set in stone, and are actively motivated to learn from all branches of their Order before settling down. Even then, no Je'daii is bound to their decision and may continue learning from whichever branch they desire after their Knighting.
There are nine branches to the Je'daii Order, referred to these days as Tho Yor after the original vessels which brought them together as an Order. Akar Kesh, the Temple of Balance. Anil Kesh, the Temple of Science. Bodhi, the Temple of the Arts. Kaleth, the Temple of Knowledge. Mahara Kesh, the Temple of Healing. Padawan Kesh, the Je'daii Academy. Qigong Kesh, the Temple of Force Skills. Stav Kesh, the Temple of Martial Arts. Vur Tepe, the Forge.
Between these a Je'daii can learn practically anything they could ever imagine, and are encouraged to do so. Where once each of these branches had its own Temple, today the Je'daii Order operates out of just one, known as The Silent Enclave, and each Tho Yor is represented by a different wing.
The Je'daii are led by a Council of Masters, made up of the Temple Masters of each Tho Yor. While they do not interfere with the every day goings on in the Order, they will convene to make important decisions where necessary, and during times of difficulty they act as a unified guide for the Je'daii.
* Power, to the Je'daii, speaks of personal development and progression, relating to their Journey, not holding control over others.
Today we take our first steps toward a brighter future; one of knowledge, of balance... One of moderation, and power
There is no ignorance, there is knowledge
There is no fear, there is power
I am the heart of the Force
I am the revealing fire of light
I am the mystery of darkness
In balance with chaos and harmony
Immortal in the Force
- The Je'daii Code
Our future lies in each student we bring into our fold, in each individual we aid throughout the worlds of this great Universe
Je'daii Padawan
Initiate Equivalent
New recruits, Je'daii Padawans are expected to learn the fundamental basics of the Force, Self-Defense, and Philosophy before being deemed ready to start the trials known as The Great Journey. Very few Padawans have one set Master, and learn from the Order as a whole.
Je'daii Journeyer
Padawan Equivalent
When they are deemed ready to begin their Great Journey, Padawans become Journeyers. Je'daii Journeyers are expected to travel between the Je'daii Temple Masters and learn from them and their Tho Yor in order to gain knowledge and experience.While most have one set Master, some carry out their Trials without. While completing their Trials for each Temple Master, a Journeyer should be contemplating the path they wish to take.
Je'daii Ranger
Knight Equivalent
Je'daii Rangers, though having completed their Trials, are still seen as having a ways to go in their training. Typically they are entrusted with tasks that lay outside of the Temple, aiding the Galaxy at large.By the time they reach the rank of Ranger, a Je'daii should have chosen which Tho Yor they wish to become an adherent of. This does not limit them from learning things outside of their Tho Yor, however.
While they are able to take on students, many are discouraged from doing so until reaching Master. After all, their own journey has just begun.
Je'daii Master
Master Equivalent
Je'daii Masters are seen as having reached their peak. Many settle down within the Temple, where they take up students and pass down their wisdom to the younger generations.Je'daii Masters are not really regarded any more highly than the other ranks, but most respect them for their experience.
Je'daii Temple Master
Council Equivalent
Overseers of their relevant Tho Yor, Je'daii Temple Masters have a place upon the Je'daii Council and ensure that the Order is being run efficiently. Currently all Je'daii Temple Masters are NPCs.
