HALL OF ELDERS

"There is so much knowledge in this place. History, etched into the walls. Wisdom, saturated in the air."
―Juya Kaelen, Elder of the Matukai
The Hall of Elders was the innermost sanctuary within the Pantheon of the Matukai. Consisting of several other chambers, including the Conclave Tower, where the Elders of the Matukai convene, and the Matukai Chronicles, the great library of information accumulated over several thousand years by the Matukai, the Hall of Elders was held as a sacred location. Unlike the majority of the Pantheon, only fully-fledged members of the Matukai could attain access to the Hall of Elders, with Disciples being restricted from entrance unless special permissions were granted on an individual basis.

Constructed almost half a century following the terrible conflicts of the Twilight Schism, the Hall of Elders was originally purposed as an archive to memorialize the Matukai's civil war. Over the generations, historical additions to the Hall of Elders saw it expanding to include information for Matukai Proselytes who sought knowledge during their studies away from their masters. Eventually, the Hall of Elders was enlarged and divided into several sections. The most notable of these became the Chronicles, the vast sum of knowledge and experiences of the Matukai, both as a whole and with accounts of individuals. The uppermost room became the Conclave Tower, the meeting room for the rare occasions where the Matukai Elders believed it necessary for them to convene on matters of grave or the utmost importance.

The Light Forge is another chamber of the Hall of Elders, which was where the most gifted and talented metallurgists and weapon-smiths create weapons and armor imbued with the Light. Alchemically melding the Force with their instruments of battle, the Light Forge was where weapons designed to combat the Darkness were created. In all, the Hall of Elders was a sacred place for the Matukai, and while they lacked a base of operations, the Hall effectively served as the heart of the Order.
