[member="Lynn Nantaris"] turned to Veiere and apologized on her behalf, a genuine remorse that he could only offer a faint smile and a nod of his head in approval of. She was young, though truthfully even with age, not always did wisdom follow. Veiere himself felt he had a wealth of knowledge to take in still, often stumbling himself, the truth was that all people were prone to mistakes and emotional recourse, these two were not the first, nor would they be the last yet at the least, here and now there seemed to have been found some middle ground so that the group may continue forward with no further competition between themselves. Soon enough, Lynn would be met with by an older man, one of little presence within the Force yet a face of experience, her protector from Lynn's claim, to which Veiere would simply offer a brief bow of his head.
[member="Yuroic Xeraic"] then directed a question his way, following his understanding of the Order's past as well as the former complacency of the Jedi. It was a good question honestly, one that wasn't to be answered in short, the reality of what Veiere wished to achieve would take time and a great deal of effort yet most significantly, mutual understanding and tolerance for peoples of varying differences. To some degree, bringing two different pieces of the shattered Order together was more difficult than forming a non-aggression pact and trade agreement between the Sith and a democratic society like Commenor. Something that had already been done, mind you. Yes, Xuroic was asking the question that many would ask of them, though on the outside of the Jedi Temple, not even having yet entered, Veiere couldn't help but chuckle at the timing of it all. Far sooner than he had anticipated, in any case.
"
As sound a question as any..." He smiled to the Silver Padawan, though he knew not the man's position in the Order, he was under [member="Arisa Yune"] and they had met before under less personal circumstances; "
Not without great effort, that much I can assure you. Yes, there are many Jedi of today that differ in practices and even argue with their own people about what justifies their way over the other remnant groups of the Order out there...-The first step will be restoring this temple to it's former light. I wish for this Temple to act as a center as a hub for Jedi Principle, teachings of the Force and the Code, all things that you are provided at home on Voss, I'm sure..." Veiere had been to Voss, he had been within the Silver Jedi Order for a time and fought to protect the capital world of their Order during the last invasion from the broken Sith Empire, now become the Resurgent Empire and the Sith Ascendancy. "
Once we are established here we will be able to reach those south of the galactic map, co-ordinating with your people in the North in the hope of strengthening bonds and uniting us as a people. These things however will take time and it won't come easily. A lack of Communication and temperance from the Code has resulted in the understanding that with different homes, different corners of the galaxy makes us different people. I would like us to remember that we are all Jedi, all following the same path...".
The Jedi Path was no simple philosophy, much like the Jedi Code it could be interpreted in various different ways between the individuals seeking to fulfill themselves as servants of the Force and keepers of the peace in the Galaxy, so much so that what Veiere was seeking to promote was something that he himself had his doubts could succeed. To understand his motivations however would be to look across the years of his life since his exile on Alzoc Three. Following the devastation of the enclave upon Svivren and the battle against the Sith, the enormous casualties against the Jedi Order had forced Veiere to enter into self-isolation, a younger man fueled by anger and loss, he drove himself into a life of solitude in the hope of preventing himself from ever striking against another people so mercilessly; the Sith had killed his family, his enclave, his council and at the time he had thought too his Padawan learner. In retaliation he along with some few remaining survivors managed to turn the battle and then execute those who remained. It was a stain upon his past that only [member="Lady Kay"] knew of in true detail.
Over a decade later however, his exile would be interrupted by the arrival of one certain young man, [member="Théodred Heavenshield"], a most curious arrival that seemed to be in the right place at the right time, across the opposite side of the galaxy from which he had called home on Voss. The son of the leading members of the Silver Sanctum Coalition later to be known as the Silver Jedi Order. It was he who had planted the seed of doubt and compromise for Veiere to step out once more, curious to understand the nature of the Order as before it had once been whole, now it had splintered and another great Schism had occurred, separating the Jedi and pairing them off in varying directions with other governments and ideals.
After meeting the woman who would much later become Veiere's beloved wife, he and Kay Larr met within Alzoc's capital and in agreement that he offer up his services in her protection, they made their way for the heart of the Galactic Republic, the planet of Yutan of which he stood now. This very Temple one of the first places Veiere would visit, calling fourth a conclave in the hope of questioning the Order's status within the Republic. Among the Jedi, with such a time in exile Veiere was not a well known or recognized member, many cast their doubts and uncertainties toward him for what right he had in questioning the way of things. The Conclave however came together strong with a multitude of peoples wishing for the Jedi to strengthen themselves and distance their infrastructure away from the path of political intervention. To his great disappointment however, it had been their Grandmaster who had countered him at every turn, not wishing to see beyond the truth that he knew, much like Veiere, the two could not come to a compromise and thus Veiere was resigned to push on with Kay to the world of Commenor and later seeking to visit Theodred and his people over the years that would follow; he knew not what had become of the Grandmaster that had argued so with him during the meeting of Jedi, though the Order eventually fell against the war with the One Sith and the Mandalorian people, the collapse of the Republic sending the Jedi in search of the rest of their kind, those who had once been persecuted for abandoning the Republic, now to be their savior from their own collapse.
"
I can't claim that I know what's best for the Jedi Order..." He spoke further after a moment of consideration, glancing back to that of Xuroic and then his Master Arisa Yune of whom knew him best among their little group; "
In all that I have striven to do, I've done my best to carry the teachings of the Code with me. Though I am flawed as any other and do not expect this path to come without great trial and error for all of us that hope to accomplish it. Some will detest us for believing we can make a difference, some will turn their noses believing such a difference doesn't need to come to pass as they feel they are justified in themselves and need not change, yet some may look to us with intrigue and find it better fits their desire to serve the Force and the people following the path we walk beside them. While I don't have all the answers, I do intend to follow what I believe the Force is calling for me to achieve. Regardless of how substantial my part in this all might be, if someone does not at least attempt to do such a thing, the one thing we can be certain of is that none will succeed if not for lack of trying".
