Chamber of Justice Communique #006

      Keirdagh Cantor stood before a small audience in what some described as the most intimidating room within the Brotherhood's Empire - The Chamber of Justice.  Standing before the Tribunal's Seat of Judgement, Keirdagh regarded the followers of the Dark path who stood before him.  Drawn from the cream of the Brotherhood's society, gathered together were the Consul's of the Clans, the newly ascended Grand Master, his Deputy by his side, the three Order Leaders, and other respected Officials from the brethren.  

The Justicar raised his hand to three Dark Jedi who were seated at the fore, upon his Left Hand.  "Prelate Cantor, Adept Rokir, Exarch Katarn, rise."  The three rose, bristling with authority and power. "I summoned you three here for a very important reason, as you know, Adept Bloodfyre was recently abdicated his seat within the Chamber of Justice. You were invited to apply to fill this seat.  After consulting the force, and others on your applications, I have decided that Exarch Katarn will best serve this Chamber.  Prelate Cantor, Adept Rokir, I thank you for your time; please be seated."  

      "Exarch Katarn, do you still wish to accept this position?  

      "I do, Master Cantor."  

      "Then I hereby accept you as my Left Hand."  



      As Kir ascended to the Seat of Judgement, and took his seat at the left wing of the table, the Grand Master rose from his chair and looked to the Justicar.  Turning to face the Grand Master, Keirdagh spoke loudly. "Lord Cotelin, you have a candidate to present to me?"  Jac nodded, and laid a hand on the High Priestess's shoulder.  

      "As the Grand Master of the Dark Brotherhood, I would like to offer Krath High Priestess Alanna to represent the Dark Council within these hallowed Chambers."  Alanna stood proudly and looked at the Justicar with eyes of steel.  

      "High Priestess Alanna, do you accept this honour the Grand Master has volunteered you for?"  

      "I do, Master Cantor."  

      "Then I hereby accept you to be my Right Hand." Alanna rose and took her seat at the right wing of the table.  



      Turning his attention back to the assembled members in front of him, Keirdagh spoke softly, though authority rode his voice like wind on a storm.  "I have gathered you honoured members here today, in order to hear the oaths of these two Dark Jedi, that they may never falter in their new duty to uphold Justice and adherence to the Dark Covenant of the Brotherhood."  Looking back to the newly appointed hands, the Justicar motioned them to place their hands on the ceremonial stones, engraved with the crest of the Chamber of Justice.  When the two had firmly taken the stones into their grip, Keirdagh sent a stream of heat into each of the stones, burning the symbol into each of their palms; neither even flinched.  

      In unison, Alanna and Kir spoke out their oath: "Through fire and pain, I do pledge to uphold the sacred Covenant of the Brotherhood, to always act in the way that will uphold our fellowship, and never to destroy it.  Vengeance upon those who seek to do the Brotherhood harm, death will come swift and merciless.  Should I fail in my task to safeguard the Brotherhood, I pledge my soul to the deepest depths of dark side of the force, where my own pain and suffering will never cease for eternity."  

      Keirdagh nodded his approval. "Gathered brethren, you stand as witnesses to this oath, should they ever be tempted to break their Oath to uphold the sacred Covenant of the Brotherhood, may they find the ancient Curse brought to full accounting."  The assembled all nodded and voiced their conviction to be caretakers of the Oath offered unto the Covenant, and the Brotherhood whom it protects.  

OOC: As Justicar of the Brotherhood, I appoint KHP Alanna to be the Right Hand of Justice, and Consul Kir Katarn of Taldryan to be the Left Hand of Justice, for a period of 6 months.
