GJW XVI: Transcendence

The events of the Fifteenth Great Jedi War left lasting scars on the home planets of the Brotherhood's Seven Clans. The enigmatic Children of Mortis were driven off by the combined efforts of the Clans and the Council's research into the nature of the terrible soul-fueled crystals used by the Children, but the Father's plan to break the chain and control the Force continues.

While the Children gather their forces and prepare for their grand ritual in the mysterious Ethereal Realm, the Brotherhood's Grand Master Darth Nehalem has been plagued by visions of his predecessor Lord Telaris Cantor, taunting him. Convinced that his former master is waiting for him in the Ethereal Realm, Darth Nehalem orders the construction of a massive gateway on Arx. The Council fears his obsession with Cantor will cloud his judgment even as the Brotherhood prepares to confront the Children on their own turf.

Transcendence is a Dark Brotherhood Vendetta Event, running from August 26 to October 1.

Event Phases

• Phase I of the Great Jedi War runs from August 26 until September 10
• Phase II of the Great Jedi War runs from September 16 until October 1

Participation

Competitions in each Phase are divided into competition types, or 'bins'. The first time a member participates in a competition within a Phase's bin, that member is awarded the participation points associated with that bin. In addition, members earn bonus participation points by participating in at least one competition in each bin achieving full participation for that phase.

Phase I and Phase II will each grant an additional 5 participation points for completing all bins in a phase, while the Event Long Phase will grant an additional 7 participation points for completing all bins. Individual competitions still award seals and credits, and members will earn Novae if they place in the top three and placement points for top 10 in most competitions. Additionally, for the first time ever placements 4-10 in each competition will receive crescents from Diamond Crescent for 4th place to Quartz for 10th.

Placement and Hero Titles

Clans earn points when members participate in competition types/bins and when members place in a competition. In accordance with the directives governing Vendetta Events in the Brotherhood, the Clan with the most points at the conclusion of Great Jedi War XVI will be named First Clan of the Brotherhood, while the Clan with the second and third most points will be name Second Clan and Third Clan respectively.

The top three individuals earning the most points in Great Jedi War XVI will be awarded War Hero titles. Members with tie scores will be broken following an Olympic-style Novae and placement ranking.

The rules for placement in individual sub-competitions are covered within their individual descriptions below.

The weight for placement of each competition is described within the competition.
