Shule's Workshop - Jal Shey garments and equipment

[Ashin Varanin]

​

​

Shule's Workshop​

The remote Dantooine Jedi enclave, a run-down memory of a happier age, is home to Shule Windspeaker. Shule is a Jedi Master, though he accepts no stipend from the Order, and dabbles in the Jal Shey arts to pay his modest bills.

Shule's workshop does not usually sell to Darksiders or known violent criminals. At this time, Shule's workshop does not accept custom orders.

Instead of money (as Jedi generally don't own much), Shule is known to accept Jedi errands as payment. (Threads, completed or well underway, involving Jedi missions on or near Dantooine. For missions and special teaching assignments, approach Shule IC in this thread.)

I would like to order a pair of the perception gloves, please.

After a long journey to the Dantooine system, you find rest in the Dantooine Jedi Enclave. Shule sells you the gloves at sticker price.

Ryan Korr stared at the list of items, pondering. Sith like Isolda relied on artifacts and amulets to bolster their abilities beyond anything he could match. Was Ryan supposed to simply rely on the Force when combating such overwhelming darkness?

"The gloves, the armor, the belt... I think I could put them to use," he said to [member="Shule Windspeaker"], "But I have no money... and doubt plucks at my thoughts like a harpist. Jedi do not have possessions beyond a lightsaber, but would these count as such? And should I rely on artificial assistance in my struggle against the Dark?"

"The Jal Shey debated those questions for millennia," said Shule. "Very intellectual people, the Jal Shey. As a culture, they finally concluded that there was nothing disrespectful in creating things that would enhance mindfulness, focus, and the ability to meditate, while blotting out distractions. Broadly speaking, Jal Shey-crafted objects are just aids to clarity of thought, leaving the nature of your dialogue with the Force entirely between you and the Force.

"As for possessions, I don't take a stipend from the Order either. I make and sell these for food and gas, and to keep the Dantooine enclave operational. Since you don't have money any more than I do, I'd be willing to give some into your stewardship -- a long-term loan, let's call it -- if you could help around the enclave. We have a class coming in, but I've promised to help a farmer dispute two townships over. Run the class -- it's on lightsabre technique -- and the belt, armor and gloves are yours to use as necessary."

 

[Tydeus of Tion]

"I -, You have a deal, Master Windspeaker." His words were lightly salted with mild surprise at the request to teach a class. He didn't exactly have the best track record.

As to the former topic, Ryan saw a bit more clearly now. Windspeaker had a way with phrasing. All the apparel would do was, to a certain extent, prevent Isolda, her amulets and her consorts from interfering in Ryan's dialogue with the Force. The darkness within, the wrongful urges, those were still his to deal with, to fight. No amount of clothing could help with that. Is it odd that I find a strange mingle of relief and terror at that?

"Thank you. I'll keep the Jal Shey in mind."

"There are some in residence here," said the Jedi Master with a shrug. "I'm sure they'd be willing to share some of their arts with you. They're not fond of warriors, as a general rule, but if you were able to demonstrate sound teaching, showed them you weren't simply looking for some sort of combat-related advantage, they might show you a few things, like they've been showing me. Very calm, level-headed people, the Jal Shey. Quick to see a need and quick to find a solution, but in my experience they rarely go into a situation thinking that they know the answer in advance. I find them fascinating, and they find me...well, hospitable, if nothing else. But yes, run a sabre training course for the new class, come back to me, and I'll have your things ready."

Sometimes a man needed something a little extra, a way to see things clearly even when in mortal danger. To focus when the situation demanded it and yet strove to harass you at every opportunity given. It was through this understanding that Khaleel Malvern came to Master Windspeaker and see if he would be able to procure a pair of Jal Shey perception gloves, he did not have much money, but his back was strong and he had never shied away from a little work when needed.

 

[Ashin Varanin]

[member="Khaleel Malvern"] was gifted a look at Shule's to-do list, which included gem-hunting in the Crystal Cave, clearing out local predators from a nearby farm, solving some kind of personal dispute between farms...basically, if Khaleel took care of one of them, he'd earn his gloves.

 

[Chiasa Kritivaas]

No violent criminals. Well. She was rarely violent? She'd never been violent towards anyone who hadn't been violent at her first. That was pretty good right? Either way. If it was a no, she'd just scoot before anyone dangerous tracked her down, not much lost other than a little fuel and time. Besides, maybe this Shule hadn't even heard of her. It was possible. She'd not been the Red Ravens Minister of Diplomacy for very long after all. Of course she was also highly recognizable.

With a mental shrug, she entered the workshop. No time for indecision, this was dangerous ground. Mandos and Jedi, oh my! Of course, she'd always staunchly defended the Mandos in the Red Ravens and their right to their heritage as long as they didn't actively oppose their new family. And there was at least one Jedi she would call friend, even if he was just a kid. The Twi'lek was too pragmatic to just write off a whole faction. Factions might be unmanageable beasts, but the individuals that made them.. That was something different.

Besides, if she had to play nice with the Sith, and her Boss said yes, she would take what advantage she could get. Either the Jal Shey Neophyte Armour would help, or it would annoy them, and either way suited her fine. If it worked and cooler heads prevailed instead of their usual ranting about ripping out tongues, devouring hearts etc, fantastic. If they thought she was thumbing her nose at them by wearing it, well, perhaps she was. Some of the Sith would make good allies. Others..

It made sense.

Cryax had managed to incite the Mandos against the Ravens. The Republic obviously did not approve of criminals. The Ravens were strong, but they were still growing, they couldn't survive with enemies that established on either side, all by themselves. So he'd reached out to the Sith.

It made sense.

That didn't mean she had to like it.

"Jal Shey Neophyte armor?" said the man who met her by the Enclave's docking bay. Thirtysomething, clothed in actual burlap, and in need of a haircut, Shule Windspeaker wasn't especially impressive at first glance -- or second, for that matter. He knew it, too. He ran his hand through his hair, scratched at his scalp a little, the picture of the hick-turned-Jedi, and did his level best not to evaluate her body for more than armor measurement purposes. As one of the few Jedi who actually lived the celibate lifestyle...it had been a while. "Yeah, I think we can do up something in your size."

 

[Chiasa Kritivaas]

The Twi'lek inclined her head gracefully and smiled at his words. Even if he was seriously triggering her urge to tidy him up and make them more presentable (she didn't even have hair and was still pretty sure she could improve on his) it always paid to be polite. Not only because she wanted something now, but because she might want things or need him in the future. A safe place to hide, the chance to sit in on one of his seminars on Force things.. You never knew. Anyone could be an asset if you played your cards right.

"I am glad to hear it, thank you, I'm sure they will be of use."

The credits weren't an issue of course. Cryax Bane had given her free reign with the Red Ravens money, assuming she didn't do anything stupid. This was hardly an extravagant purchase. She had shoes that cost as much, and they didn't do anything except make her legs look fantastic. Which was its own sort of magic she supposed.

"The Jal Shey would like to think so," said Shule. "Armor that helps you remember to be calm, and helps others be calmer and more receptive? It has its uses. I use it myself sometimes. Anyways. I'm fairly sure we have something in your size, so that should settle that. It's twenty-five hundred."

 

[Chiasa Kritivaas]

Best to leave the more receptive bit alone. It might be the main characteristic she was interested in but.. That wasn't a thing good guys were concerned about right? And today she was playing at being good. Of course as far as she was concerned she was always excellent, but she would concede that folks with particularly strict moral codes might not always approve of her or her methods. She just.. got things done. Made sure she survived. And if she happened to come out on top, well, what was wrong with a girl wanting to be on top now and again?

"Cooler heads are almost always a good thing. If a fashion decision can help keep folks from making decisions that many others may or may not live to regret..."

She shrugged, offering him an amused smile as she handed over the credit chit.

"I'll wear it."

She was going to need to figure out how to accessorize it of course. And it covered a distressing amount of skin, but c'est la vie. The things she did for the Ravens.

The armor was promptly delivered. All was well.

[member="Shule Windspeaker"],

Dantooine was, and still is a rather lone planet. No large number of people lived here in cities that were close to the old Jedi Enclave. Coming here is where I was wanting to learn of their tools and gear. Mostly, their Mentor armor, Meditation gloves, and the belt in which protected those against the Dark Side of the force mentally.

Considering that I was a Jedi Guardian, I had not learned up on my mental prowess, other than my common senses and precognition. I excelled in combat. While in the mind games which the Sith and other Dark sided individuals loved to play, would be a weakness unto me. Therefore I looked for such items that could protect me against mental, and spiritual attacks.

Coming to this enclave, I knew that there was a recluse of a man from stories told at the Jedi Academy. Looking for said man, I hoped to purchase or even work for these items. I just wondered, if I worked for them, or even joined in with this mysterious group of individuals, would I be allowed this kind of gear?

We shall see.

"Welcome to Dantooine," said the man who greeted Carrick at the enclave doors. "I'm Master Windspeaker; call me Shule. I'm the Housemaster here."

He opened the door. "Are you here to learn, to train, or to buy? All of the above?"

 

[Garza]

[member="Shule Windspeaker"]

I looked around to the voice in which spoke to me. Welcoming me to the Enclave, with an introduction to being Master Windspeaker. Or to just call him Shule. At his introduction, I bowed to show my respects as from one Master to another. He asked a question of what I was here for. All three I wanted to do. However, I opted to do all.

"I am Master Carrick. Xander Carrick. I came with the thought of purchasing. However, if you are offering lessons, then I cannot refuse."

I motioned towards myself, knowing that this man must have more experience than I,

"I would be overjoyed to participate in all. Master Shule."
