Embers of War

Plot Outline Submission Template


1. What is going to happen in your plot?

• Two teams of Jedi will travel to Corulag and Estaria, respectively, to hopefully settle what have become increasingly violent differences between the two planets. Nothing is ever so simple, though.
  

2. What other players will be a part of this?

• So far a I have Nefieslab
  

3. Where are all the places (if more than one) that your plot will be taking place?

• Corulag, Estaria, & a yet unnamed moon in the Deylerax system of the Talcene Sector
  

4. Please provide a basic in-character timeline of what you expect to happen.

• In the first thread, two Jedi will travel to Corulag to meet with a secret coalition - specifically, three of the Noble Houses of Corulag - who suspect that the disappearance of some of their comrades is not the fault of the Trade Guild at all, but one of the other Noble Houses. Their disappearance is being used to ignite the flames of war. The Jedi will investigate and attempt to discover what happened to the nobles.
  
  
• The second thread takes place at about the same time as the first. A second team of Jedi will travel to Estaria to meet with the Baron and his ministers, the ruling body of Estaria to find out why the Trade Guild is pushing so far into the Inner Rim, and to negotiate the release of the political captives. To even meet with the Baron, however, they must earn his trust. There has been trouble on one of the farming colonies on the southern continent - banthas, nerfs, and in some places, even small children, are being killed by something. The Jedi will travel to the colony and find out what's going on.
  
  
• The third thread follows the Jedi from the first: having discovered that the nobles were kidnapped and might still be alive, they mount a rescue mission. Intel leads them to a barebones military encampment on a forest moon in the Deylerax system. The jedi will infiltrate the encampment and rescue the nobles.
  
  
• The fourth thread follows the Jedi from the second: having defeated the vornskr and discovered how they arrived on the colony (a preemptive and deliberate attempt to get rid of the investigating Jedi) the Jedi meet with the Baron and discover that there is no Estarian trade guild, though the Baron has come in contact with a Dark side adept; his thoughts and memories show signs of being tampered with. Estaria is allied with nearby systems, true, and their shipments down the Perlemian Trade Route have been taking heavy fire in the Talcene Sector. The Jedi travel to the Talcene Sector and find their way to the Deylerax system.
  
  
• The fifth thread joins all the Jedi together. The first team of Jedi were captured when they tried to infiltrate the base. The second team must now save them, and escape with the knowledge that the Lord of House Parck, as well as others of the House, are not only Force Sensitive, but have fallen to the Darkside.
  
  
• In the sixth thread, the Jedi, now returned to Corulag and backed by several of the noble houses, attempt to bring House Parck to justice.
  

5. What do you or your character hope to achieve with this plot? What is the "end-game"?

• My character hopes to resolve issues between Estaria and Corulag with little to no blood shed, and perhaps create something in the way of safe-havens for Jedi on both planets, so that the order not need remain so centralized. There is no ultimate reward beyond saving lives. We are Jedi, after all. I also hope to have some fun writing out a dope story.
  

6. Do you need any involvement of canon NPCs or faction leaders to be DMed by a staff member? If so, please detail who/what and for what purpose.

• Nope. If any of you want to DM my main villains, however, I would not object.

Hey there, @C.X. Jenious!

Fantastic plot you have here. I'm hella interested myself, and you ever want to throw in a random Exile to turn up the heat, I am always here to help. Same with DM'ing, which I would recommend w/ those dark side nobles. But since you're not asking for much with rewards, that's all up to you!

Just also keep in mind that by "safe-havens," I'm assuming you just mean establishing some Jedi influence on each world, and not a full blown sanctuary? I mean, you can do that, but I would stick to focusing on just one planet for the actual refuge rather than both.

But 'nuff said. Approved!

Thanks! I actually might need an Exile or two for the fifth thread.

And yeah, I didn't mean a full blown sanctuary...more like a Jedi speakeasy. I'll probably focus those efforts on Corulag.
