Name: Sullust Jedi Academy | House Eglarest

Classification: Jedi Satellite Academy and Forge
Location: Sullust
Affiliation: The Jedi Academy | Independant
Description:
Deep underground, within the lichen gardens and biomes, was the Sullust Jedi Academy. While the Jedi Academy would work in conjunction with the New Jedi Order, the Jedi Academy was an area to provide all professors and students within the House network to be able to study, teach, and learn.
Moderate sized, this academy would utilize the deep volcanic hot springs and slow moving volcanic eruptions to create natural forges. Taking inspiration from the ancient Jedaii Temple of Vur Tepe, House Eglarest came to be. While it catered to various areas, it’s specialty lay in being a place of study where students learned the ways of the Force through metallurgy and the construction of tools and weapons.
The Hot Springs
The Hot springs here are fed from deep underground water reservoirs from Sullust’s core. Naturally heated by geothermal activity, they feed mineral rich hot springs which are known for their healing properties. None know the specifics about it, but by the will of the Force, these springs have been said to accelerate healing and rejuvenate not only the body, but the mind and spirit.
The Circle of Healers are invited to utilize the Hot Springs as well as the Crystal chambers for their use.
The Crystal Healing Chambers
Deep underground crystal chambers have been uncovered near the Sullust Jedi Academy. Akin to those of the Healing Fire Crystals, a patient placed within their presence has been said to promote healing for a variety of needs. While they are not as powerful as the Healing Fire Crystals or the Ankarres Sapphire, their presence has provided a small venue to promote their use by the Circle of Healers.
The Forge | Caldera
The Force is set against the lip of a caldera, allowing Academy students the location to forge force imbued weapons and create their crafts. Here, under the guidance of Knight Varek, the lost methodolgies of Vur Tepe are once again taught to those who can respect the tradition and do so with the intent to combine craftmanship with the desire to help others.
Some say that the more it is used as a location for lightside imbuement, that the chance of this potentially becoming a small lightside nexus may result in time. For now, it is simply a venue for students to learn and pass on their knowledge to the next generation.
The Atrium
This vast open underground chamber is an isolated garden that holds a wealth of botanical plants, flora, and small fauna. Here, the unique underground environment along with the heat and humidity have created viable bubble for life to flourish. Ithorian, Zelosian, Ho’din, and Morodin masters frequent the atrium, enjoying to wander the vast garden and educate students on the importance of horiculture and maintaining a balance.
The Residence Halls
The residence halls for students and guests are literally carved into the cavern walls. They are kept heated from geothermal energy and provide simple, but pleasant accommodations for residents of the Academy. They are lay in a semi circle, facing inward towards the atrium with the distant glow of the Forge and Caldera in the background.
The Training Areas
There are several training areas for students as well as for conferences. House Eglarest promotes an open venue for teaching, desiring to not remain cooped up indoors for long. They utilize the environment as living facilities for training and on the job practical application.
History:
Under the guidance of the council of Masters and through the advisement of several alchemists and metallurgists, the establishment of a massive brick and stone temple was set on the lip of the active underground caldera. A monument to the art of metallurgy, the students of the new Eglarest Jedi House Academy would craft their weapons in the fires of the Sullust volcano; the bottom of the temple formed an interior dome which harnessed the heat from the flowing lava to power the forges.
Within the halls of Eglarest, the House Masters would focus on practical applications; focusing on the ways in which the Force could be applied to create or improve physical things. The House Masters served as stewards of the facility and oversaw its functions, instructed students in the finer points of craftsmanship and encouraged new discoveries.
As it is still a vast network of caverns and caves formed by the vast pressures of Sullusts core and unique enviroment, there are crystals lining the walls and in deeper shafts. Those students seeking to find a crystal for their use may find Adegan of varying qualities, Eralam, Opila, and rarer still, Force crystals. Further research and excavation may reveal other deposits.
Having no official ties to any Jedi Order, it allowed any gifted in the Force to find a master that would be best suited for their area of study. Whether it be through the Academy, the Galactic Alliance, or through any of the Jedi Orders the Jedi Academy Network provides.
A vast garden would be set in the middle of the temple, protected by a dome of heat resistant solarium glassteel from Arceneau Trade Company, and utilizing the geothermal energy designs by Salacia Consolidated through Judah Dashiell.
Intent: To submit the Jedi House Academy on Sullust
