Emberlene - Home of the Mistryl Shadow Guards

[Satine Detta]

[SIZE=12pt]Emberlene[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]A small planet in the Authala Sector goes unnoticed. Emberlene is at its height of power the Eleven Elders sit proudly wielding their power and ordering their people into acts that lave them questioning why.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]The Eleven Elders had made a deal, a deal that would level Emberlene to almost nothing. But before the plan can be carried out there is an uprising that removes all males from positions of power on the Council. The change puts the women in power they vow to never make the same mistakes that the men have made. Men are no longer allowed to hold such positions; they are the clerks, secretaries, and support systems to the women.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]It has been generations since that time when fate was changed and now Emberlene sits quiet its history rewritten after its rebirth. Its sits neutral working for anyone who can pay them. No longer would they be the pawns of others, they now dictated their terms, and if they were not met. They walked away without a question.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]The Eleven Elders are leaders of the Eleven clans of Emberlene.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]Satine D’ulin sits as leader of her clan, a member of the Eleven. Satine quiet, pensive, and direct has trained for most of her life to be a Mistryl Shadow Guard.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]The Shadow Guards elite group of female mercenaries sent from home to earn money to support the clans of home. Even though they had managed to fend off the history that had fallen them before trade to their world was isolated and Emberlene suffered it needed credits to survive.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]The Mistryl possess the largest database of known individuals in the galaxy they can literally become anyone at any time just by looking into this database. This ability has more than once kept them from arrest, and harm.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]To confuse their enemies the use what is known as battle language, no one has been able to break this code. Four member teams use this language it is quick and secure combined with hand gestures for movement. This often leaves their enemies confused.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]Across the galaxy they have developed a series of Mistryl Safe Houses one such building exists on Naboo. Inside here as with others plans are made, and they remember their home and why they do what they must.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]The weapons of the Mistryl are varied the most widely used are shock whips, and zenji needles. They are exceptional at close combat, and possess the ability to seem to fade into the darkness without being seen.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]There is no love of the Empire found among them, though contracts are often taken to earn credits. The mantra, “We do what is necessary to keep our people alive” is whispered reverently as they move forward.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]Each clan leader makes difficult choices. The women need strong men, warriors to breed warrior women. Clans make alliances with off world Clans for their best males, their exceptional males. Sons and daughters born are raised on Emberlene, though deals have been made for sons to go to their fathers.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]Marriages are entered into to provide wealth, and support. Daughters unable to handle the training to be shadow guards are often given in marriage to off worlders to create bonds, and means to travel without question.[/SIZE]

Matsu had heard the rumor and come, her family on Emberlene were talking calling for her to come and see what was happening. That interested her to no end as she sat on the ship heading of all places home to be with her people. Slowly as the ship touched down Matsu stood in her shell spider clothing and trench coat while she walked putting her hat on to cover her face. The stiff brim obscuring her eye while she looked from under it to see what was there while she walked taking in the sights and sounds of Emberlene. "It is wonderful to be back, wonder who has called for the Shadow Guards.'

 

[Satine Detta]

The clans were coming. Soon this hall would be filled with voices echoing vibrating off the walls. How many would come. She did not know. But she was excited to see who would come.

We're they ready to populate Emberlene.

Matsu arrived in the hall and stood there in the black trench coat with her hat, the black clothing and her hair framing around her face and head. A curtain going down the length of her back as she slid her hands into her pockets and was slowly joined by several more from the clan... Well house as her grandmother who stood there looked on. The Ike's were from Atrisia but had found their way to Emberlene thousands of years ago becoming Shadowguards after the tragedy and workign to protect the people. Now they were a house here that worked to supply the planet.

 

[Satine Detta]

Satine looked over and saw that one had returned, "Hello, welcome home sister" She smiled and walked closer, "I am Satine D'ulin, and you are?" Satine had hoped more would show but this would be slow to get them to come in, to establish the old ways and become stronger as a group rather than as individuals.

She couldn't wait to hear her sister's story of her clan. their history.

Matsu looked at the woman, at Satine and she bowed smiling for the moment before she spoke. "I am Matsu of House Ike and I have not been home to Emberlene for some time." Matsu walked forward and looked around while she observed less had shown up then even she would have hoped for. "The Ike's have been here on emberlene for sometime and overseen the shrones in the past to remember the tragedy that happened here. Now they work to ensure that Emberlene is given all that it can and sends its children out to do as needed, that is why I have come here and home. To make sure my sisters and home are cared for. The offices of Sasori are working hard to ensure you have new equipment."

"Welcome home then Sister Ike, and may the blessings of the goddess be on your house, everything of old has been passed away and we are new, building and starting to thrive some. But we need the Clans, and the Clans need leaders. Are you ready to chose a leader to reprsent your Clan here on Emberlene?"

It was all she dreamed united again, and fulfiling the needs of their home.

Matsu looked at Satine and choosing a clan head to represent her family on Emberlene there was only one person that came to her mind as she spoke. "Yes I am." A small smile appeared on her face while she was moving there and would have to talk about making gear for her family when the time came. her sisters in the other clans would be well worth it while Matsu remained still for a moment hoping more would show up. "Having the clans return would be a great thing to see."

"I am hopeful that more will come, Emberlene has grown beautiful she needs her people to become stronger. Since the ancients were able to avert much of the war by replacing the men before they were able to make their deals with the Empire Emberlene has been silent sending her daughters out to work. But we are not the power we once were, we must become strong again."

Satine looked around the hall, "I want to fill this place." She looked at Matsu. "We need to equip our Mistryl's and get them better paying jobs." Satine knew first hand sometimes how bad the equipment could be.

 

[Matsu Ike]

[member="Satine D'ulin"]

"That is the plan." Matsu had a few ideas for better paying jobs, she was part of and worked for the beast hunters to pay bills and they paid very well for hunts. A team of shadowguards could pump those out and doing ones like the exogorth hunts would bring a great deal to the houses. A smile curled her lips at the idea of making new designs and ideas for the shadow guards. She could get one or two going. "That is the hope and there are some ideas in my head for what we could do to bring in credits."

"I am wondering if we should not approach some other groups to offer our services to also build a higher reputation and gather some credits" Satine moved over to sit, "it is an unusual thing to be doing this now. I feel historical." She laughed.

"What other ideas do you have Matsu?"

 

[Matsu Ike]

[member="Satine D'ulin"]

Matsu gave a nod of her head to that, approaching some groups and workign for them to earn credits would be a way to go. "That would be best but we should avoid some of the larger organizations. Groups that we know we can trust like the protectorate and Silver jedi, the mandalorians and some of the lesser known ones. There is danger in helping groups like the ASA and Republic. We will build towards the reputation and make it all a great thing." Matsu held a smile on her face though. "And we can start soon, never know where we can build some reputation."

"I wonder if these that you mention would hire us on, or would they prefer that we become their ally and work with them." Satine shook her head they were no where near strong enough for such dealings, but it was an interesting thought.

"We are much like the mandalorians, the Silver Jedi, or any Jedi might look upon us as murderers not quite the people they want to hire for things to do. It will be difficult at first to make friends and get deals though there are some private organizations that continue to ask for our help"

Satine thought deeply about this, "We must as a group be careful who we work for, and what it is they want us to do. individually as clans I'm sure each clan would have their own internal dealings for work, so..we need to be sure to communicate" She looked at Matsu, "Do you agree?"

 

[Matsu Ike]

"That could go either way, I know my family has a small group within the silver jedi. They live in the twilight sepulcher on Shri-tal," She had worked hard as it were and they paid off with a few things such as the ability for all of them to get along and the work she did with the beast hunters guild had made her a great deal of credits, some other things being done as she thought about it. "We'll never know until we try and there is plenty we can try for all of it. I'll work with you and the other houses to make some equipment, there is even some ships we might be able to use for transport."

"I, if I take what my Aunt says as truth, have family among the mandalorians. I am not sure if this is a good thing to know or one that could bring poison to our ranks" Satine was careful.

"Our numbers are still so small but I believe we can make due with what we have, and move forward. In time perhaps others will find their way home"

Satine sighed slightly, she understood it was hard to let go.
