Xevek Nekonis
From The Shadows
This is an idea that I had months and months ago, however it was initially meant as a private thread that would be used as the dev thread for a faction wide Holocron. But, I scrapped the idea as I was, in the end, unsatisfied with it. Now though, with all the talk of breathing new life into the Faction, I've decided to revisit the idea and change it slightly to make it open to the Faction as a whole. (Shout out to [member="Darth Ansem"] for his help.)
Bellow is the bare bones (as much of the Lore will be revealed through visions that Xavka will be experiencing and telling everyone about during the course of the thread) of the story.
--------------------
Centuries ago a Darth and her followers were labelled as Heretics and Traitors by a fellow Lord, Darth Fuan. Instead of standing to fight, the Darth and her followers faded into the shadows and fled as they followed the philosophy of victory through manipulation and trickery, misdirection and assassination.
Settling on the ancient Sith world of Ambria, on an island on Lake Natth, where Hssiss live, the Darth and her Followers erected a Temple and labelled themselves a Sect, hiding their Temple through Sith Sorcery and Alchemy. From there they went on to amass power and knowledge, contracting their skills out and stealing datacron and holocron from Sith, Jedi and other.
In the end, a traitor within their midst revealed their location to Darth Fuan, who lead an attack on the Temple through Orbital Bombardment and Frontal Assault. The Sect were decimated, even though their Temple remained (if in ruins) when a Sorcery Ritual robbed all those near the Temple of their lives and the Library of the Temple burnt from the flames caused by the Librarians.
Darth Fuan then went on to purge all mentions of his rival from the annuls of history, killing any who even hinted at knowing of the Sect. However, a few escaped the purge and their whispers survive within the Galaxy.
For the past decade, many who journey to close to Ambria find their minds bewitched by alluring promises of Power, often following the voice to the surface of the desert planet before they lose their minds to madness. One of the few that managed to escape the pull of the voice was Xavka Duquo, before he became Sith. Now that he had amassed his own strength and has heard the whispers of the Sect, he wishes to explore the world that almost robbed him of his sanity to find the Power promised and the Truth that had been burnt to near ashes.
He has reached out to fellow Sith Assassins to assist him in this goal.

Above is all of the information that your characters will have if you choose to join this thread. If enough interest is shown in both the thread and the lore, I shall add the full OOC details to this thread in a spoiler, for any that wish to read. IF I choose to do so. (Sorry if this inconveniences some of you.)
This thread is aimed to be written in two parts. The first part is attempting to arrive at the Temple, since Lake Natth is home to Hssiss, many of whom have become mutated (bigger, stronger, faster) from absorbing the aura of Darkness left by the countless deaths. From their everyone will have to fight off the Hssiss so as to move through the Temple without being attacked.
The second part is thus: everyone will split into three groups. The first will be seeking a repository of knowledge, the great Holocron of the Sect; the Qormuo Sishias. The second group will be tasked with attempting to discover the truth about the Sect through whatever is left of the Library and through left behind possessions (for example: personal holocrons). The final group will be exploring the Temple to gather any goodies that they can find.
Anyone can find anything they want within the Temple (within reason) and from there the plan is for it to be reverse engineered and supplied to everyone who participates. So go wild (again, within reason).

If there isn't anything that I have explained clearly enough, or if you have any questions, any suggestions as to how this idea could be improved or even any insults about how bad this idea is, please feel free to post bellow and tag me and I'll ensure to read (and answer, if need be) whatever you write.
