Into the Mouth of Madness
After his exile, former Jedi consular Azizullah al-Jedhi has spent innumerable sleepless nights pouring over old texts he acquired (read: stole) when fleeing, hoping to find some clue as to the exploits of the original Exiles. After piecing together a few clues, as well as sending out feelers for information, he has happened upon a rumor: a holocron - created by one of the original Exiles, containing secrets about alchemical and magical experiments on the Dark Side - exists and awaits discovery. With an insatiable lust for forbidden knowledge, Azizullah is willing to journey into the mouth of madness itself to seek out this evil repository of wisdom.

| Characters: | Azizullah al-Jedhi (@Painus) Cato (@Soverin) |
| Summary: | Betrayed! After a heroic return from slaughtering gangsters, Azizullah finds himself unconscious and thrown into a holding cell. These gangsters appear bent on collecting the bounty on lightsaber-wielders by turning him in. The Force, on the other hand, has a different plan. Across from his cell is another captive Exile, imprisoned for the same reason. Without their lightsabers, the two must escape, retrieve their weapons, and punish the gang for their insolence - all the way up the chain. |

| Thread 3 Name: | Absconsion |
| Characters: | Azizullah al-Jedhi (@Painus) Cato (@Soverin) |
| Summary: | Now that the two Exiles have finished cleaning house, they must steal a nearby freighter. First, however, they need an astromech droid to assist with navigation. Luckily for them, there happens to be one in the dockyard nearby. Can the two manage to avoid gang security, "liberate" the astromech, and make their way to the ship, or will they need to carve a long and bloody swath and take their prize by force? |

| Characters: | Azizullah al-Jedhi (@Painus) Cato (@Soverin) Moko Drendar (@Andrewza) Prudii Kyramund (@Prudence) |
| Summary: | Danger! Just before the two can make their grand escape, trouble arrives on the horizon in the form of bounty hunters! Tired of delays, Azizullah and his companion must fight the hunters off long enough for the droid to prep the ship so they can get the kriff out of there and onto the first leg of their journey. |

| Thread 6 Name: | Unearthing the Past |
| Characters: | Azizullah al-Jedhi (@Painus) Cato (@Soverin) NPC DM (@Rimrald) |
| Summary: | Bothawui: a hub for information on the galaxy's expansion. The first part of their journey is to find a local historian in the capital city of Drev'starn. Specializing in the Hundred-Year Darkness, this bothan should know about the Exile army's march through the galaxy and where significant sites of their campaign should be. Bothans are naturally a distrustful people, and the memories of the Hundred-Year Darkness are still fresh in their minds. Azizullah and his companion will need to be careful not to rouse any suspicion, lest he call the authorities on them. |

| Thread 7 Name: | Night at the Museum (PVP) |
| Characters: | Azizullah al-Jedhi (@Painus) Cato (@Soverin) Kaizer Sutsgy (@Fyston) Ekaj (@Andrewza) |
| Summary: | Their efforts with the Bothan having been mostly fruitless, Azizullah and his companion resolve to break into his study and steal his notes.

| Thread Name 8: | Toxic Waste |
| Characters: | Azizullah al-Jedhi (@Painus) Cato (@Soverin) Kano Taes (@Versok) |
| Summary: | The daring duo find themselves on Eriadu in an industrial wasteland, its inhabitants gone or corrupted as a result of the Exiles' rampant experimentation and abuse before the war. With the bothan's notes recovered, Azizullah searches for an abandoned Exile temple for the next piece of the puzzle. However, as the two begin scouring the inside, a number of ancient war droids become reactivated, declaring the two Exiles to be intruders in that dark palace! They must fight off the relentless sentinels and search the library for the next clue, or perish within and be forgotten forever. Within those blackened arcades of antiquity, however, the two find an unlikely -- and unholy -- ally. |

| Thread Name 9: | Citadel of Skulls |
| Characters: | Azizullah al-Jedhi (@Painus) Cato (@Soverin) Kano Taes (@Versok) |
| Summary: | Some experiments should never have happened. Having survived the mission on Eriadu, Azizullah and Co. head to Malastare, eager to complete their journey. The next clue points to an abandoned temple, much like before. Once used as a testing ground for dark magic, the decrepit laboratory may contain vital information for their quest into darkness. They breed quickly down there in the dark, but perhaps they can slay them even faster. |

| Thread Name 11: | Footsteps of our Forebears |
| Characters: | Azizullah al-Jedhi (@Painus) Cato (@Soverin) Kano Taes (@Versok) PlotMod DM |
| Summary: | Dagobah. The final leg of their miserable journey. The temple which they seek lies in the deepest depths of the swamp planet, whose flora and fauna prevent close landing. Placed in a field a small trek away, the three must journey on foot to reach their prize, but the beasts that stalk the marshes have other ideas. The task ahead is terrible, and weakness cannot be tolerated. |

| Thread Name 12: | Precipice of Oblivion |
| Characters: | Azizullah al-Jedhi (@Painus) Cato (@Soverin) Kano Taes (@Versok) PlotMod DM |
| Summary: | At long last: the final, hidden laboratory of the nameless Exile. Deep beneath the swamp, in the warrens of this blasphemous tomb lies the secret that Azizullah has sought for months. Corruption has soaked the soil, and the monstrosities that dwell within are not welcoming of guests. As they fight through the twisted abominations, there alone stands one final guardian of the holocron. The thing is more terrible than can be described - an incoherent jumble of organ, sinew, snout and hoof, gristle and bone - a mountainous, twitching mass of misshapen flesh that fused itself together in the darkness. |

| Thread Name 13: | The Tome of Decay (PVP) |
| Characters: | Azizullah al-Jedhi (@Painus) Cato (@Soverin) Kano Taes (@Versok) Vishhkar (@Arclight) 2 Jedi PC/PlotMod NPC |
| Summary: | Having recovered their long-sought relic - among other loot - Azizullah and his compatriots must reach their ship and return to familiar grounds, so that he may study its terrible secrets. Unbeknownst to them, though, is that they have been tracked for some time by Jedi hunters who have arrived to put an end to this evil. This will be a fight Azizullah will not allow to pass easily, for he has come too far to be stopped now. Will he continue to work alongside his companion, or does betrayal lurk on the horizon? |
