Succession of a Rollmaster

Kapsina

The Dark Tower

Throne Room

The doors swung open with a loud bang, startling first time viewers that had never seen them open so dramatically. Flight Leader Superior Furios, Templar Arcadian, and Protector Zuser Whuloc moved with purpose, even as Unus Domus slid in just behind them, narrowly missing being caught in the doors like he always did. They approached the dais and stopped, kneeling briefly, before standing back up. Tra’an Reith leaned forward, hands steepled under his chin, elbows on his knees as he surveyed the three. “So I see that Zuser managed to not end up stranding you all due to one of his more insane maneuvers. I can be thankful for that much at least. Did you get your man?”

In response, Arcadian produced a gift box, which he lifted the top off to show a cauterized head sitting on a display pillow. “We always get our man Quaestor, though I have to admit that it took some doing this time. He was not an easy fellow to catch up to.” Furios and Zuser both nodded, the Protector a bit more enthusiastically, his braid flailing around wildly. “In the end though, he fell just like the others,” the Obelisk said firmly and easily.

“I’m glad to know you found your skill tests both challenging and useful. They’ve done a great job of helping us make a decision that we’ve been waiting on for some time.” As Tra’an Rose to his feet, Sarak Shai and Unus Domus joined him on the dais, and they all nodded. Turning to face the Templar directly, the shape-shifter spoke, “Former Rollmaster Domus has tasks to attend to that will leave him unable to continue overseeing the Mastery of our Students. As such, we wish to ask you to take his place, that we might know that a warrior with cunning and skill replaces another. We believe you to be the right choice to help bring in and train our members to be better, stronger, and quicker to Adapt, Ascend, and Avail. Will you accept this challenge?”

A muted hush fell about the room as all business stopped to watch the tableau of a changing of the guard. Domus’ role in the solidification of Plagueis behind Reith was something well known, and only the most sensitive of tasks could call for his departure. For another to be selected meant that Plagueis was now solid enough not to need Unus Per a Novus Domus to remain around anymore. It meant that the fear generated by his name was no longer necessary for a thriving Jusadih System. It was a mark of progress, and a sign of the changing times.

Arcadian did what any good mercenary with respect and a solid history of service did, he brought his fist to his heart and bowed. “I am honored to serve New Plagueis, and will gladly see to the readiness of our Masters, that only the best may remain. I will serve until I die or you find someone better, Quaestor.” With a toothless grin, Tra’an smiled, even more so as people began to look around, realizing that Unus had vanished in the midst of all of the pomp. Like a blade in the night, silent and swift, he had gone again just as quickly as he had come.

Arcadian stepped forward into the recently vacated spot, now looking upon the assembled members of the various Dark Jedi factions seeking favor and authority within the Jusadih Military Regime and all it held. “We Are Plagueis, and We Are Strong! Now, leave us. We have much to do.” They dispersed, leaving the three behind to plan and plot their next response to the various criminal enterprises daring to challenge New Plagueis.

Unus Domus, after long and faithful service, has chosen to step down to pursue a focus upon perfecting the House Plagueis web portal at http://bit.ly/uA5Cmn! Make sure to come check it out!

Arcadian has been selected as his replacement, and he has given his commitment to long and faithful service. With a great history of House Service, familiar knowledge of the inner workings of Plagueis, and a strong background in helping the Ascension of others, we feel that he brings the right tools to the table to benefit Plagueis.

We ask that you wish him well, and give your thanks to Unus Domus.

In Darkness,

Sacramentum di Plagia.

Semper Fidelis di Plagia.

Glory to Plagueis.

Adapt. Ascend. Avail.
