Ven Asher
Character
Tython. A world with a legacy dating back beyond almost every single galactic civilization. The planet was a rarity among the galaxy, a world dominated in its entirety by the Force. Rarer still, the world held no specific alignment. It was not controlled by the light, nor was it dominated by the dark. It was a world held in a perfect, fragile balance. Today, it was home to one of the galaxies current iterations of Jedi, loyal servants of the Galactic Alliance, but the world was not theirs. Before the time of the Jedi, the world was protected by the Je'daii Order, the forbearers of the modern Jedi.
The Je'daii Order had been scattered across Tython in several cities, most of which were located around the Tho Yor. The Tho Yor were massive pyramid constructs that had brought the first settlers to Tython millennia ago. The nine Tho Yor came to be seen as central seats of teaching for the Je'daii, with each city near the Tho Yor specializing in different aspects of the Order. One of those Tho Yor in particular held Ven's interest, and it was that Tho Yor that had brought him to Tython. The city of Vur Tepe was built around an active volcano, with its Tho Yor hovering in the air above the ever active summit. The city of Vur Tepe had been the seat of the Je'daii Orders forges, the location from which the Orders weapons, tools, and various other Force related items had been constructed and housed. Every Je'daii had made a journey to Vur Tepe to construct their Force Imbued Blade, the symbol of the Order for centuries.
Ven intended to do the same.
He had landed his ship several kilometers away from the location of Vur Tepe, and had begun to hike towards the distant volcano. It was not exactly the same way the Je'daii of old had made their journey, but Ven intended to try and honor the ancient tradition as best he could. It had taken several hours of travel to eventually get to the bottom of the volcano, and hours more before he found the first signs of the ancient city, a massive metal construct built all around the lip of the volcano. The cities Tho Yor hung in the air above it still, and Ven could hardly keep his eyes off the ancient object as he ascended the last few hundreds of meters to get to the edge of the ruined city.
Removing the backpack he wore over his thin hiking clothes, Ven found a nearby pile of rubble to sit down on as he took a drink from his canteen. He was not sure what to do at this point. He had not been a Je'daii long, and he did not know all the ancient histories of the organization. Making the trip to Vur Tepe had been the extent of his planning up to that point, and he could only stare up at the Tho Yor in the air before him as the heat from the volcano began to get to him.
"Ven, what are you doing here..." Shaking his head even as he spoke to himself, Ven turned to put the canteen back into his bag when something caught his attention at the edge of his vision. Looking up, Ven focused on the ruined entrance to a large building. It looked little different from any of the other buildings he had seen so far in Vur Tepe, but for some reason, it seemed to draw his focus in. Rising to his feet, Ven slung his backpack over his shoulders before marching across the ruined city to the building. The entrance had been covered with debris, and it took his a few minutes to clear out the entrance. Reaching into his backpack, he pulled out a flashlight and turned it on, shining it into the gloom of the structure as he stepped across the threshold.
