After a lesson with Sith Stuza, Lord Sarias offered a secondary goal of providing a personal critique of the document on 'The Ancient Art of Alchemy'. Below is the thoughts and feelings of Acolyte Magdalene Thall. 
Access to the original file is granted here.

In a recent lesson with Sith Andnoa, we discussed the history of Jen'jidai, the Dark Lords who splintered from the Jedi many, many years ago. Their mastery of the Force allowed for many great things including the power of Sith Alchemy augmented beyond the wildest dreams of the ancient Sith by Sorzus Syn. The writer of the original document offers his envy and jealous of her power as an apparent state that all should be afflicted by, yet at the end wards us off grasping the power that would rival the greatest. A weakness that I personally find detestable; a demonstration of the cowardly nature of the author. 

It has been reiterated time and time again that Sith do not grow without reaching for the impossible as the Dark Side allows for power that many consider... unnatural; a sentiment that the Jedi hunt us for. To challenge the impossible is why Lord Sarias herself is such a great master of the art form. I would be remiss to negate the drawbacks that come with such great power but that is simply the nature of the Dark Side. We either steep ourself in it and become great or lose our names to the annals of history. Thus, in my opinion, the debate between Living and Non-Living subjects is obvious: we break our chains by breaking nature and those who abide by it. 

However, it is a disservice to the author to not mention the quality of alchemy to create weapons or useful items that benefit a willing Sith. To boast survival of 17 attempts at poisoning whilst demonstrating a unique ability to recognise poisonous auras is a feat many Sith can fail to attain. Yet, despite all the grandiose words, their name is not remembered and yet Sorzus Syn is forever etched in the annals of our history. 

Therefore, my final statement is thus: thrive in the thrill of danger for only the most fearsome of pressures can crafted the deadliest blade.

Ongoing Crisis
The Republic Marches amongst lit fires!


The Balance of Power in the Northern Territories!

After the Republic liberated Pollus from Imperial influence, Anx Minor was devastated by I.T.E.C.’s nuclear mining and lingering Sith presence, while the Kesmere Ridge remained largely intact, enabling the Republic to steadily infiltrate and influence its powerful corporate systems. On Tertiary Kesmere—the largest hub—three megacorporations dominated: Oriyn Prospecting discovered resources, Kessdyne Resource Group extracted and profited from the capital Vethar’s Reach and its Ciivic Council, and Haeltor Maritime handled off-world transport. Beneath the façade of economic growth, however, The Republic secretly aimed to turn Tertiary Kesmere into a strategic launch point for operations in the Northern Territories. Contacted by Moff Vayen Korr, the Marshalling Prefect of the Northern Territories, the Pentarchy of House Horuset took on the job of delaying the Republic's actions. With preperations laid it culminated in a strike planetside lasting only two weeks to ignite anarchy. Acting covertly to sabotage Republic progress, they destabilized the region, leaving chaos in their wake as corporations collapsed under their own deception and local anti-corporate guilds rose up—unaware of the Empire’s hidden hand behind the unrest...

((OOC: Missions that relate to grand changes in the Northern Territories will have an impact on the balance of power shown above, with the end result being that the balance of power's state will determine how strong the Republic will be in given areas area. The balance of power can be pushing in our favour with bigger scale events aimed at taking the Republic down or fortifying ourselves in the North. This can be achieved through Operations, Adventures and Guild Events. The blue represents the Republic, and the Empire is red! This is organised by the Guild Team, so please direct OOC questions to them.))
