Je'daii Trials; The Great Journey

[Lief]

​

Once a Je'daii Padawan is deemed ready to progress, their true training begins. Alongside lessons with the Je'daii Masters, which vary according to the whims of both Student and Teacher, the Padawan - now deemed a Je'daii Journeyer - must undertake a series of Trials known collectively as The Great Journey.

The Student must make a pilgrimage through each of the Je'daii Temples, and earn the Mark of the Temple Masters. The Trials vary in complexity and skill requirements, some for personal betterment and others for the good of the greater Galaxy. They are intended to instill the ideals of the Order through practical experience as opposed to learning the same old textbook codes and definitions.

It is important to understand that while optional on an OOC basis, all Je'daii will have ICly completed these Trials at some point. It is impossible to become higher than a Journeyer without having undergone the Great Journey. At least some mention of the Trials should be made, even if it is only in brief passing.

​

​

In order to complete the Great Journey, an individual must carry out one mission from the Mission Terminal for each of the Je'daii Temples, or include one of the basic trial concepts into a roleplay thread where it is the main focus. Each Trial must be completed within its own thread.
