Eternals of Paladius news

Eternals of Paladius

An organization founded by Lok, former Sith Lord. This represents the Force-sensitive component of the Nexus military. Eternals are powerful combatants, and there are only twenty allowed at one time. Though, as the Nexus Enclave grows, this number may go up as well.

Eternals use both the Light and the Dark Sides of the Force, though they are known to lean more towards the Dark Side. However, their teachings explain that the Dark Side is dangerous, and that one should never fully give themselves to it lest they forfeit their free will.

Rumour has it they are called Eternals for the fact that they have discovered the secret to immortality, or at the very least are searching for that secret. Only the Eternals themselves are privy to this secret, and they are not fond of sharing with the unworthy.

While the fact that they rely on the Dark Side puts them at odds with the Abiters of Dai, they do not hold any ill will to them, this is due to the leaders of both groups being on friendly terms and the protection of the Emperor himself. They are only concerned with attaining power that can be truly controlled, which does not corrupt the heart, and to defend the Nexus Enclave, which granted them legitimacy and protection. However, any who get in the way of their goal will find themselves facing the full might of the Eternals

Code of Eternity
The Dark Side which forged our Strength,
Forged the strength of our Chains.

No longer shall we give up our will,
To delusions and falsehoods of Power.

True Power is that which we control,
Not that which controls us.

We shall ascend to New Heights,
Our Duty is Eternal.

Hopeful

These acolytes of the Order are Force-sensitives training in the hopes of becoming an Eternal, hence the name "Hopeful" for only the chosen few can aspire to become Eternal. Their skill with the Force varies greatly between one Hopeful and the next. This is also true for whether or not they wield a real lightsaber or a trainingsaber.

Lord Eternal

Extremely gifted with the Force, the Lord Eternal is the unquestioned leader of the Eternals of Paladius and commands it along its path.

In battle a Lord Eternal is without equal, its Lightsaber mastery and command of the Force allow the Lord Eternal to decide the outcome of battle single-handedly and immediately, it is then not a surprise that many compare a Lord Eternal to God-like figures and legends of old.

For the power of a Lord Eternal is what one expects to find in myths.

The presence of a Lord Eternal spells great events are unfolding.
