Pillars of Strength

[Josiah Rendar]

BENDU ORDER
PILLARS OF STRENGTH
​

The Bendu Order stressed and firmly believed that they did not fight for peace, as fighting for peace was futile and far too dangerous. The Bendu believed, much like many members of the first Order of the Jedi Bendu and the Jedi Order that saying that one fought for peace was simply a slogan that was just as misleading as any other slogan that had ever been written. The Bendu fought for the survival of civilization, as a strong civilization would then create peace. The Bendu fought for justice, as it was one of the fundamental bedrocks of civilization.

A Jedi Bendu High Master once said that an unjust civilization was built upon sand, meaning that it would not survive any form of assaulting storm for very long. The Bendu Order agreed with and firmly believed that ideal. Because of those beliefs and ideals, the strength of the Bendu Order rested on the shoulders of six major principles:

• Self-discipline
• Knowledge
• Divine Faith
• Prayer
• Meditation
• Attunement to the Force of Others

When used correctly, effectively and efficiently, the six major principles and pillars of strength would allow a Bendu to solve any problem and overcome any obstacle that they would potentially face. The Jedi Order also had similar principles, though they were changed to conform to their own beliefs.
