Aithne Charr
Heir of Fire
Tahv, Capital of Kesh and City of Glass
Keshiri Hall of Nobles, Chambers of Law
Solan stood as he looked down from his place, watching the different people from Kesh and beyond gathered, meeting in the halls of the Planet's governmental body. Until today the planet had been ruled with an undetermined, an unwritten set of laws and guiding systems. Those that were there were the ones that were age old corruptions that had been started by the Lost tribe.
He would never say the Tribe's efforts were all bad, the very city they stood in was a picture of both beauty and order, monoliths and statues of pristine works of art that Solan still marveled at even after a decade of ruling his home. He smiled and drew a hand along the railing, walking without so much as his a bodyguard with the exception of the commander of his Shadow Legion. Infact he had little to no one near him today, only Taloth, Daeda as his constant companion, and the AI whom he had inherited from the Echani lady in silver... he wondered for a moment what even happened to her.
The thought was cut short though as his eyes found a group coming along the path by the water, watching as for the first time those among the commons would be able to gather in mass an pick among them a representative to ensure today was not a return to a noble only rule. Alternatively those with money, power, status... passed down through generational succession were a entirely different body. They had resided in these halls, advisors and at one time in the past rulers themselves long ago before the great plague.
He smiled as the two groupings passed eachother, but without true malice behind them. There was still, as there always would be a level of animosity but that was impossible to avoid. All men found their opinions to direct their course of actions and thoughts, and the past had steered each group's opinions in one direction or the other. But that was an effort that Solan had pushed to change.
First there had been the three great cities that had been created. Gyn, Lyst, and Mareth, the cities of of progress, the future, even simply the beauty and order that Keshiri hold to with all their heart. It was that which had led to the change in their lives as a whole and soon what had became a reviving world was now an economic power after the failure of government after government, failed powers leading to the unstable universe they lived in.
Recently there were two lights of hope, to the Galactic West was the Galactic Alliance, a group which Solan held in both high regard but a tinge of fear. They were a force to combat the chaos and devastation that had ravaged the south and west of the galaxy thanks to those reaches of Sith, Moross Culties, even simple pirates and slavers. The GA were a quick change but his government in its current state would never be one that he could trust them to ignore and let be. His government was a monarchy, an empire. One that united the planet under one head and that head was still corrupted by the darkside, if not for the help of his friend Taeli, he probably could have found himself disposed already and fallen further. The Jedi scared him, but he knew he was not like those the Jedi hated.
The second light was that of a very new group, one he was far more acquainted with. It was that of the Outback, those who guarded the Kathol region in a time when it needed it he most. Kesh was a border world, the first world past Kal'Shebbol and as such Solan considered his place well enough between two beings of benevolence to be sure his home was safe. If one wished to extend their hand, today was the day to do it, the day when the people of the world would be together both low and high in order to know what their world would become.
So he smiled, watching the two groups head off in their different directions. The Convention would begin soon enough, but for now Solan would enjoy the beauty that he had come to be surrounded by for years. Today that beauty would host his people and others, and give birth to a government and rules that belonged to those people who called Kesh their home. The Empire of Kesh would be different after today, perhaps even no longer such a thing as that which bore such a name. He wondered just what would come of this day.
