What do you or your character hope to achieve with this plot? What is the "end-game?” Link any items you’re seeking if applicable.
The end game item is Tolan Kar's Holocron. If achieved, it would be in the relics taken from the Sith Temple.

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.
No.

Approved with the caveat that no reward is guaranteed, as per the new plot update. I'd also like for you to change the initial holocron detailing the locations of the three temples to something else (a book, datapad, writings on a wall, etc), since holocrons are fairly rare items.
Be sure to tag the plot team when it's reward time so we can review the plot, as per this bullet point:

Not all plots will be successful. From here forward, the staff will be reviewing these plots closely to ensure they tell are story and are more than grinding to meet minimum requirements. When the character is close to obtaining their goal, please let the plot team know so that we can review what has been done so far. The staff will then determine the reward obtained for the thread. This could be the intended goal, part of the goal, or simply nothing at all.

We will be scrutinizing plots like these (holocron hunts, etc) very meticulously to ensure that it makes sense. Holocrons are extremely rare in the galaxy after Sidious went around hunting them down. With that in mind, good luck on the search.

Hi! Because this plot hasn't been started yet, @WiffWaffs and I are looking to take it over, after a discussion in the Jedi faction section. We're wanting to change a good portion of it and put it back under review, just to make sure it's okay.

Here are the changes we've decided on:


What is going to happen in your plot?: A group of Jedi discover a sealed vault in a previously hidden temple complex, after some substantial seismic activity. Writings and information date the complex as pre-Genocide, with reference to Tolan Kar. The Jedi hunt the keys to open the vault and discover what lies within.

What other writers (and their characters) will be a part of this?

@WiffWaffs, @Charndley, others to be found in a sign-up thread.

How many threads will this plot have? 4

1. A Complex Complex
After seismic activity on Quell, a routine search of an ancient outpost reveals a larger, long-hidden complex that was hidden below ground for generations. The Jedi explore the crumbling, wrecked ruins and work their way through the deranged defense mechanisms until they come to one remained, sealed vault. Notes from around the vault lead the Jedi to believe that the vault is from the time of Grandmaster Tolan Kar. The vault requires a 'key' to open, which has been split into two parts.

2. In the Shadow of the Valley
Following a lead from the temple complex, a group of Jedi head to Dathomir to seek out one of the halves of the key. The Jedi who took it was recorded as 'lost trying to clear the darkness on Dathomir.' A group of Jedi will investigate the co-ordinates and probe the deepest hidden recesses of the planet.

3. Among Thieves
The Jedi trace the other half of the key to a collection of antiquities on Chandrila. However, several years ago, the museum was burgled and a large portion of their collection found its way onto the black market. Now, a crime boss on Nar Shaddaa lists something that seems very familiar in his catalogue of antiquities that he wishes to sell. A separate group of Jedi will try and get the other half of the key from him, before he learns how valuable it is and offers it up to tender.

4. Best Kept Secrets
Now in possession of the two halves of the key, the Jedi return to Quell in order to open the Vault. Once inside, the Jedi are tested to ensure that they are truly Jedi and not one of their ancient enemies, come to plunder their archives. If they pass the trials, the contents of the vault are laid bare to them.

Include opposition type for each thread (DM, dice, ASK/OPEN, etc): Threads 1 and 4 will be DM’ed by @Charndley. Thread 2 will be dice. Thread 3 will either be opposed by Five Syndicates PCs, or dice, depending on sign-ups.

What do you or your character hope to achieve with this plot? What is the "end-game?” Link any items you’re seeking if applicable. To discover whatever secrets/artefacts are hidden within the vault. The temple is too decayed/damaged to be of much use, but the Jedi hope to discover secrets of their past within. The hope is to discover Tolan Kar’s holocron, but the contents of the vault are kept deliberately vague so that the reward isn’t guaranteed.

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

Sorry for the wall of text! Thank you!
