The Spacepiress of Chaos
Under unknown circumstances the command structure of the Holy Order of the Righteous Flame (The Harbinger and Circle of Cardinals - Nine Senior Knight-Commanders) have been killed. To what ends or reason for this is still unknown.
In the wake of their deaths, Amelia has become the sole Senior Knight-Commander of the Order with the mantle of Harbinger falling to her. Rather than continuing the Order as it is, she has decided (while at the funeral of the previous Harbinger) to reforge the Order into something else; an organization that is not focused on purging Force Users - rather focused on maintaining Law and Order within the Free Worlds Coalition and Commenor Systems Alliance.
This thread focuses on that decision and the subsequent founding of the newly christened Knights of the Pyre...

The Fifth Moon
The fires crackled, the wood snapping from the heat as the embers danced upon the soft breeze. The woman stood silently, her eyes upon the figure that lay upon the pyre. The Harbinger, a woman that had lead the Holy Order of the Righteous Flame, now lain low of unknown causes. Along side her were the bodies of those Knight-Commanders that had been with her, the other leadership of the former monastic order. Golden hues remained upon the corpses as they burned, though from the ashes something else would rise.
For a while her own views had been changing and even she realized that the Holy Order as it was would not survive. They could not remain the staunchly anti force users they had become. Nor could they survive with the mentality of pursing all of the force users; an ideal that she had become further from with her more recent dalliances with a certain force user.
Others remained, those that had seen the change coming and decided to weather the storm. Their banners torn and thrown upon the pyres to add to the kindling and roaring flames. There were others still though that remained true to their original cause and refused to take part; thus she understood that in the future she would find the ghosts of the past revisiting her...
Remaining silent, she waited for a few more moments before stepping forward, holding the last banner in her hand, she looked upon the emblazoned eternal flame. A soft smirk crossing her lips as she understood the very act that she was about to perform. Holding it firmly in her hands, she took one last look before her hand shoved it forward, the flag fluttering in the wind in one last defiant death rattle before it was engulfed in the flames.
"The Harbinger is dead and with her the Holy Order of the Righteous Flame passes on. Those that have stayed shall be reforged..."
She thought to herself, knowing that those handful that had remained were those most loyal to her. Even her own personal guard remained, standing at her back, ever vigilant to any threat that could befall the elder of their kind. Offering a silent bow of her head, Amelia stepped away from the pyres, the breeze whipping around her, causing her jet black hair to dance upon it before she pulled her helm back upon her head.
As she stood at the cliff face, her golden hues peered out across the waters below, already her mind was focused on what would come next. Feeling the hand upon her shoulder, she looked to her old friend.
"Knight-Commander Braxis, I am pleased that you had been at my side rather than the Harbinger's mission. Though this presents us with an opportunity to reforge the order and take it in a new direction. We can not remain focused upon purging the Force Users from the Free Worlds, nor should we."
Turning her attention back towards the sea, she smirked again. This was the ample opportunity to claim the leadership of a new order, forged from the ashes of the old.
