The Temple of Karabor served not only as the spiritual center of The Th'tremsi, but also as the center of Government for Talus. It was divided into a number of different 'wings', which seperated the various operations within the Temple from one another, so as not to cause interference. Some of the most notable locations included: The Gardens, The Main Entrance Walk, Chamber of the High Exarch, Chamber of the Exarchs, Halls of the Kissai, The Sanctum of the Vaidila.

Construction on the Main Temple building and the surrounding Grounds had been expedited thanks to the tireless efforts of the Zuguruk that had been assigned to the project, all of whom had put in more than their fair share of effort, due to the important nature of the project. Members of the Vaidila were already setting to work, sanctifying the various areas of the Temple, before they could be used by their various intended occupants, with Exarch Kavallius being the first to visit the Chamber of the Exarch's in person. As he gazed upon the room, he had a feeling his fellow Exarch's would not be visiting the Chamber's much in person, particularly since Elleca and Valltia had duties to Nashal and Qaestar Town respectively.
Kavallius then headed for the Sanctum of the Vaidila, where a number of Anchorites, Exarchs, and various Vaidila that were either without a title or had yet to choose a specific path to follow, were already gathered and either finding rooms or teaching/attending classes and/or training sessions. Kavallius made his way towards his assigned room, which included sleeping quarters, a small refresher, a small study, a small kitchen area, and a private office, with his proper public office located elsewhere in the Temple. It was a nice set-up, suited for someone of his position to get the full functionaility out of it, without any overly ostentatious decorations or looks to the rooms, unlike a lot of other members of other governments that felt the need to show off their wealth and power. For the Th'tremsi, such overt displays of power and wealth were unnecessary and something only outsiders participated in, but that wasn't to say they were able to appreciate things of beauty, especially considering the surrounding gardens, and the large amphitheatre located therein

Nahallus had wasted no time since his return to Talus, having quickly gotten acquainted with the physical layout of the Temple and the various duties he had to perform. Truth be told, there wasn't a whole lot of difference to when he was just leading The Th'tremsi, it was just that now, his decisions would affect the lives of everyone on Talus, regardless of their species. Today though, he was awaiting the arrival of General Avanoraa and Exarch Aellemere, to discuss with them matters pertaining to their allies, the Jedi, whom had agreed to have Th'tremsi warriors garrisoned at the various Temples around the galaxy to aide in their defence. Thankfully General Vordaan had attended to organizing the troops together and proposing which ship to use, leaving Nahallus only to review the orders and approve them, which was fine with the High Exarch, since military organization was a subject he knew Vordaan was well versed in. Although there were undoubtedly many within the galaxy that would frown upon the caste system, like their Sith brethren, The Th'tremsi had found it to continually be effective and had rarely suffered any ill consequence in all their years that they had used it

Avanoraa maintained a swift stride as she made her way through the halls of Karabor towards the Chamber of the High Exarch, with Kharoco tailing just slightly behind his mistress since he was unable to keep pace with her, though, she never left his sight. Exarch Aellemere was already waiting at the doors into the Chamber as Avanoraa arrived a few moments later, passing her mace back to Kharoco, before the farseer took a step to the side and waited outside the doors, whilst Avanoraa and Aellemere continued inside, the two woman striding confidently towards where High Exarch Nahallus was seated. They both took a knee before the High Exarch, bowing their heads in respect
Good Fortune High Exarch...

Nahallus smiled as Avanoraa and Aellemere strode into his chamber and took a knee before him, already well impressed by Vordaan's choice of General for this mission, since the woman seemed to have a sense of etiquette and some diplomatic charm which would come in useful in the mission that lay ahead. He then motioned for the two women to rise as he to rose from his chair, since he felt uncomfortable dealing with people from a chair
Blessings upon you both. Come, rise, there is much to discuss. Avanoraa, I trust you know why you have been summoned?

Avanoraa and Aellemere gave a nod each, before they both rose to their feet as Nahallus addressed Avanoraa, since Aellemere had already been briefed on this mission before hand, her presence here merely being a formality. Avanoraa then gave an affirmative nod in response to the High Exarch's question, Vordaan having given her a brief run down of what she was going to be doing when he had met with her a few days ago
General Vordaan gave me a broad overview. From my understanding, I'll be working with Exarch Aellemere to setup several garrisons to help defend the Jedi Temples around the galaxy. Beyond that though...

At its most basic level, yes, that is indeed your mission. But further more, you will work with Exarch Aellemere to be our diplomatic representative, not only to the Jedi Academies, but also to the Republic and other governments. For this task, you have been entrusted with The Draenor. I suggest you begin by visiting Corellia, and moving on from there. I will contact you if you are needed anywhere specific. Safe Journey.
Nahallus then gave a nod to the two women as a pair of attendants entered the room and handed each of them a datapad, which contained an overview of their mission, along with a list of Jedi Temples, codes to provide to each planets orbital control, and a secure link through which Nahallus could contact the pair. The attendants then waited to escort Avanoraa and Aellemere out of the Chamber so that Nahallus could prepare for his next meeting

I am always glad to serve.
Be Well High Exarch
The two women accepted their gifts, quickly giving them a look over to ensure everything was working properly, before following the attendants out of Nahallus' chambers. The pair wasted no time making their way through the temple and out to the gardens where they boarded a waiting transport which bore them up into orbit to the awaiting Draenor

It wasn't long before the speeder arrived to the Temple, Vordaan parking it as close to the main entrance walk as he could, before exiting the vehicle and leading the way into the Temple. One of the great things about the design of the entrance walk, was that it was meant to have a soothing effect that was provided by the tree's and gardens on either side and up the middle of the walkway, along with a pair of small waterfall fountains located halfway up the stairway, not to mention the view of the city that was provided at the top of the stairway. Vordaan certainly found himself more at ease by the time they arrived to the main doors of the temple, which were almost constantly left open to allow ease of access for those who needed to come and go, and help provide a feel of openness.
As they moved beyond the doors, Vordaan lead the way across the entrance hall and towards a stairway that lead up to the second level, which was flanked on either side by a pair of statues. On the left was a statue of a man made of Obsidian, with the stone having been masterfully crafted to show the clothing the man wore and a series of deep lines to accentuate the tattoo's on him. To the right was a statue of a woman made of Marble, in complete opposition to the statue on the left, but crafted in a similar style with deep lines representing the tattoo's on her. Whilst the Vaidila and Massassai paid tribute only to the woman on the right, the Kissai paid tribute to both statues, aklbeit far less to the man than they did to the woman. Oweing to his nature, it was then that Vordaan paused for a moment and bowed his head to the statue of Raava

Despite his diminutive size in comparison to Vordaan, Master Rawkill kept pace with his taller companion as they headed up the Main Entrance Walk, with the Ewok Jedi Master finding himself feeling calmed by it, as well as the concentration of Light Side energy that was emanating from the Temple due to the amount of Th'tremsi present. Even after all his years of training as a Jedi, there was still things that could catch him off guard and push him towards the edge, and lately, it was happening a lot more often, which concerned him greatly since it signalled to him that things were starting to get bad. As they entered the grand hall, he continued to be amazed by the craftsmanship of the Zuguruk workers that had designed and built Karabor, which had made the building beautiful and practical at the same time.
It was when Vordaan paused by the statue of the woman at the base of the stairs, that Rawkill once again noticed certain differences between the various castes of the Th'tremsi people. Whilst he had studied what he could find in the archives, there was still much about the Th'tremsi people that had never been documented before, which only meant he would have a fun learning experience ahead of him, so as to better integrate himself into Th'tremsi society. Figuring now was as good a time as any to begin his learning, he waited till Vordaan was done paying his respects, before speaking up as he examained the two statues
=Jedi Master Rawkill=
I must admit, General, I'm quite curious. Since arriving here, I have seen much that I must admit, I do not understand. For example, that book you carry, it seems like it is something unique to you. And these statues, I have heard their names whispered by those passing by them, but they are not any name that I recognize. I do not mean to cause any offence, I was just hoping you might be able to give me some insight...

Vordaan had been expecting such questions from Rawkill for some time now, in fact, he had expected them sooner, but undoubtedly the news report had pushed them to the side for a little longer. Whilst there had been a sense of urgency before, it appeared the Temple had had something of a calming effect upon the Ewok Jedi Master, undoubtedly cooling the man's nerves and agitation. At any rate, he was not going to disappoint, and besides, it was all information Rawkill would need to be told eventually, might as well start his learning process now
No offence has been taken my friend. You are new here, and our customs are foreign to you, it is understandable that you would be curious. I will do my best to answer your questions, without getting too off track. I guess the simplest way to explain it, is that the entities you know as Ashla and Bogan, we refer to as Raava and Vaatu in our language. We treat Raava as a goddess, for her light sustains our people and purifies us, might like the darkness of Vaatu feeds and corrupts the race you call the Sith. Indeed, the Kissai do still pay respect to Vaatu, for it is his power that allows them to craft the weapons of light that we wield... As to my book, it is known as a Tome of Raava, and is awarded to all Field Marshals within the Army of the Light. It is filled with various teachings, both for practical use and to help boost morale... Anyway, we should keep moving...
With that, Vordaan lead the way up the main stairs and along a couple corridors to where Rawkill's quarters were, where Lucgard had already lead Athos and Constance to earlier. It looked like the two Jedi Apprentices had indeed already been quite busy getting the place ready for their Masters arrival. Lucgard gave a short bow to his own master
Seems you weren't kidding, they did set up fast...

It was intruguing to hear Vordaan's explanation, even if it was something of a simplified explanation as the General put it. From what information he had read in the archives, it made sense their belief systems were similar, since the modern Jedi Order had been borne from the Je'daii Order of Tython, which The Th'tremsi had also been borne from. Though the Th'tremsi seem to have stuck a little closer to the balance that the Je'daii had sought, as opposed to the Jedi's view of balance which prohibited the use of the darkside altogether. That said, Rawkill could still appreciate the idea of using the darkside to forge weapons with which to use against the Sith.
He then gave a nod to Vordaan and followed him to the quarters that had been set aside for his use, where Constance and Athos had been lead earlier and had deposited the suit in a corner, before unloading and setting up the terminal to connect in to the Jedi Archive network. His two apprentices gave a bow as they entered, before Rawkill made his way over to the terminal and set to work examining the records, to eliminate suspects and get closer to the culprit, in a manner of speaking
=Jedi Master Rawkill=
In my line of work, expediance is a must, lest we no longer are able to be called the Council of First Knowledge. I appreciate all you have done for me so far today General. If it would be possible, perhaps we could move my meeting the men I shall be working with to tomorrow? There is research to be done regarding some rather concerning matters...

Rawkill sat at a table deep in the archives beneath the Temple. Before him, was laid out an old Sith sword that had been amongst the items recovered from the Garqi train heist. It bore many similarities to other such blades he had encountered in the vaults. But who it belonged to, was a mystery. But whoever it was, held the interest of more than just Rawkill. Or at least, he could only assume as much, since Atlantia Ren had been guarding this item in her train car. But the sword was not the only item recovered. There was a number of pages that appeared to have been taken from a much larger work. They detailed the existence of a number of other items that, in the wrong hands, could cause a great deal of devastation.
He sighed as he knew there was nothing more he could learn from this blade. He then used the force to levitate the item back into its crate, the lid closing over it as the blade came to a rest inside. Athos gave a nod, before lifting the box and carrying it back to the place it was assigned to. It was just one, of a number of things they would have to be on the look out for. War was inevitable with this new Imperial Faction, and with the darksiders they were gathering to themselves, the Council would have their hands full ensuring the destruction or safe keeping of as many objects as they could find

The Ewok Jedi Master walked out into the center of the training arena in the south corner of the Gardens. The raised seating was currently empty of any occupants, with much of the Temple staff busy working or teaching classes. Rawkill had figured it would be best to conduct this match with some privacy. He withdrew his pair of sabers from his belt and held them at the ready as he waited for Trentan to arrive

*Trentan was running late, yet he walked with the same slow pace as always. Trentan was still young, with few cares in the world. He often strolled aimlessly daydreaming of his future and past. Often wondering about his family, and sometimes wondering about darker secrets. The padawan believed today would be the day that he could express these dark thoughts to his master. Sparring usually drew the truth from Trentan, as he often felt a closer connection to his opponent when he exchanged weapon blows with them. He knew Master Rawkill was a person who expected expedience from most, and thus assumed that when he arrived he would recieve a stern lecture. When he was near the training area he peeked around the entrance, to find his master waiting with sparring weapons. He sighed and stepped forward. He bowed before his master.*
Forgive my tardiness master, I awoke a tad late I'm afraid.

Rawkill let out a sigh as Trentan arrived with an excuse. He could sometimes understand why the Order of old had refused to take Padawans over a certain age. Sometimes when a bad habit was learned, it was hard to train it out of someone. But he was pretty sure he was up to the task. Or if all else failed, Master Hoshina would get results. He ignited the pair of blades then, a motion for Trentan to do the same with his own
Do not apologise. Instead, make sure it does not happen again. You're a Jedi, Rane. Not some schoolboy. You have committed yourself to a larger cause. The warriors of the Dark Side will not simply wait around for you to finish sleeping in...
Rawkill then thrust his right hand forward, aiming a force push towards Trentan's legs, to sweep them out from under him
We are what stands between freedom and the dark dominion of the First Order. They have Sith... Imperial Knights... Knights of Ren. All we have, is the Jedi Order. We each have a duty to be at our best at all times...

*The padawan could not help but mutter*
Forgive me...
*He knew Rawkill did not want to hear it. Before Trentan was ready, he felt his legs get sweeped out from under him, by the time his whole body was upside down, he put his hands out to grip the floor. He pushed with his arms and landed in a crouched stance, with his blade on his right hand. He regained his posture, into the classic makashi stance. He put his entire body sideways, and extended his right arm. This stance took advantage of Rawkill's stature, as with one hand Trentan could reach further, and not only that, Rawkill was limited to short shoto lightsabers. He took three steps forward and in a movement that look more like dance and less like a vicious swing, he feigned to strike right, before quickly switching and aiming left. He did not underestimate Rawkill's ability for he had proven to be a strong master, but he could not shake the fact that Rawkill was at a disadvantage against most opponents. Then again, he thought, wasn't the great jedi master Yoda similar?*
Master, there is... something I wish to speak to you about. Something that would be considered heresy if spoken about, but I believe I and every other padawan has a right to know.

Rawkill smirked. Using the force to assist him, he leapt through the air right over the top of Trentan. Performing a half spin, he landed facing his Padawan's back. Bringing his blades forward in a slashing motion at Trantan's legs
Really? And what exactly is it that you believe you have a right to know?

*Trentan kept his swing going, he let it turn him 180 degrees, and he managed to catch the two lightsabers with his own. He took two steps back, and lunged forward, thrusting his lightsaber between the other two, directly towards Rawkills face. The padawan meant no harm of course and knew when to stop. It seemed obvious to Trentan that Rawkill would need the speed of the ataru form to combat his lack of height and arm reach. The padwan would need to anticipate the jedi master.*
I think all of us have a right to know the power of the dark side. To study it, to learn what it can do, so we may know what we are up against. I feel that ignorance may get me, and others, killed.

As Trentan took the step back, Rawkill used the moment to prepare. As Trentan lunged forward, Rawkill did a backflip, landing a couple feet away
You think you have a right to know the power of the dark side? to study it even? Careful where your mind wanders young Padawan. Many a more powerful Jedi before you have felt they had such a right. Revan, Malak, Dooku, Vader. They all succumbed to its corruption. It is Temptation itself. It shows you what you want to see. What you believe you can control. Then it controls you. It infects you with a lust for more power. You believe that what you are doing is justified. That it is for the common good. But you become the very thing you have sworn to fight against. What it is... is a lie my Padawan. There is a reason the Council of First Knowledge locks away the tomes of the Dark Side. It's so they cannot corrupt or be used by other Dark Siders. What will get you killed, is believing the Dark Side is something you can easily study. You should trust that your Master will teach you all that you need to know to combat its proponents...
Rawkill raced forward then, the force assisting his body to move faster than what was normally possible. He right his right blade up to block Trentan's blade, whilst slicing up at the man's wrist. Hopefully the surprise attack might catch the Jedi Padawan off guard. If it did, the blades would only give off a small electric shock, since the training mode meant the blades weren't as deadly as they usually were
