THE STORY : : Homecoming
The League of Shadows, once known as the Courts of Chaos until its fall during the Chaos Civil War over two-hundred years ago, has been peacefully maintained since then by General Dalt of Shadow Eregnor. However, according to Supreme Chancellor Martin, Shadow Republic sources indicate that Chaos rebels plan to remove the General from his position through force. It's up to you to prevent this destabilizing action from succeeding. The fate of the Shadow Republic rests in your hands.
OVERVIEW : : Inside Shadow Wars
A thousand years after the Patternfall War, King Random's dream of uniting all of Shadow through a great Republic was born and in this dream a hope for peace and prosperity. This was possible through many achievements both natural and artificial. The discovery of a Shadow-wide energy called Spark and amazing technological wonders such as Droids, Shadowships, and TrumpNet crafted secretly in the mines of Mt. Kolvir fueled the Republic's ideals and commerce making Amber even more powerful than during King Oberon's reign.
Furthermore, as the Republic spread complicated disputes required the creation of a governing body called the Senate, headed by an elected Supreme Chancellor who could request aid from designated organizations for consultation and enforcement. One such organization was the fledgling Jedi Order who shared a vision of peace and harmony throughout reality. This idealistic vision would eventually become a thorn in the sides of Shadow members distant from Amber and threaten to tear the great and mighty Republic asunder.
CONCEPT : : Who and why your character is involved
Tell me who your character is and why the Supreme Chancellor Martin of Rebma and Amber would choose them to serve in this important capacity with the other characters?
Furthermore, what is your character's connection to the League of Shadows (what is at stake for your PC personally)? Some examples may include …
1. Family: You (or your ancestors) fought for or against the Chaos Civil War over two-hundred years ago as a Chaos sympathizer or antagonist (such as a mercenary hired to weaken another Chaos Royal House).
OR
2. Duty: You (or your predacessors) were sent in to try to help limit the damage and keep peace, such as many Jedi and Republic Defense Force agents were called to do by order of the prior Supreme Chancellor, Ian (son of King Eric of Amber)?
