- Reception: With how common Vakhari has made the book, it is safe to assume the reception was a mix of disgust at the contents, intrigue, speculation, and or general interest. TLDR? Mixed.
"The scholar's companion" is designed and written to offer knowledge without going too far, or reaching too little. Each section of this book/holobook is formated in the same way you would expect a book to be, it provides straight to the point information on many of the questions you may have regarding the topic at hand. Academic, sterile. Hardly any different to textbooks you would find at your academy, yet it still tries to welcome all who have an interest in the contents of the pages.
CONTENT INFORMATION
Introduction: Our galaxy is filled with all sorts of ideals, factions, cults, guilds, cultures, and more. Much information we have access to is on the more commonly found groups, but what of these lesser known entities or peoples that walk right beside us every day? Their ideals and methods unknown to the wider population? Today we will go over one of the more eccentric cults I have found so far in my studies, one that calls itself "The Arbiter Bloodline".
Ideals: In the words of their founder they believe that justice and vengeance are two sides of the same coin, a "coin named truth". And that many of us tend to avoid the truth out of fear that it may shatter our reality, it is believed by the Bloodline that the weak hide behind lies and laws so that they may have something to believe in. With their claim that it is this weakness that lets the evil and corrupt rule over them, where as they intend to show you the truth.
"We believe that the weak need to be shown their true strength.", said their founder. Describing further to me how the Bloodline shared a commonality between them and the ideals of the Sith, sharing that both them and the Sith believe in the breaking of their chains. Yet, where as the Sith believe in breaking their own chains, the Bloodline believes in breaking the chains of those who can rise to their true strength. Described as a family that cares for their own, the head of the family being the parent that cares for their children.
Each new member of the family gets their own personal book to write in, described as a "Book of Vengeance" for them to record every moment they enact what they view as justice of vengeance on a person or party that deserved it in their eyes. Most commonly the first page within this book is written in the blood of the accused who held power over the "child", with this first page marking the first step in their new life. If this book is filled, it was said that the founder my "enhance" their blood as a reward, giving them abilities beyond what is normal for their species. The more that is achieved the more blood is given to the member of the family that went the extra mile, with said rewarded blood coming from those sensitive in the force.
History: Known to only have one founder who preferred to remain unnamed, they expressed that when it came time for them to pass on, it would be the task of the "Mothers" and "Fathers" of the Bloodline to pick a new leader. With the founder's own person history even as a child shaping how the Bloodline operates in the present day, with the words of their own founder being: "I have been doing it alone. For a long time. As a young girl, I always believed that there was far too much evil that people are blind to. They will pick on minor infractions, but major crimes? They're left alone out of fear. I decided every crime needed a suitable punishment. You steal? You lose a hand. You lie? You lose your tongue. You ruin a life? You lose yours. And so that's what I did to my parents. They ruined my life. They wanted to send me to the Jedi. And so...I enacted Justice. I then travelled across the Galaxy for a while. Meeting various people who helped me...discover my true self. To discover the strength I had. Which then lead to me deciding to do the same for my Faithful."
Outcomes: When asked about how these places they take root in view the cult and or if they have caused any unrest, it was explained that their goal wasn't to improve the quality of life within the area as a whole, only to help select people that are willing to rise to their "true strength". Any reports of violence taken to the founder are described to be view as justified, with it being said that "Preventing justice from being enacted is a crime in of itself.".
