Masters in Exile is an ongoing series of articles where I will present fully fleshed out characters to fill the roll of master for the Jedi in your party.

In Part I<\/a>, we looked at the background, stats, and character development of one possible master for your party’s Jedi. In this installment of Masters in Exile, we will discuss plot hooks for his homeworld, Baltimn, and his dueling academy, The School of Hidden Wisdom.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The School of Hidden Wisdom <\/strong><\/h3>\n

History:<\/strong>\u00a0When Ephaan Kenzon left the Jedi Order he returned to his homeworld, Baltimn, on the borders of Wild Space. One of his few memories of his homeworld was a foreboding tower that was largely ignored or avoided by the local farmers of the far-flung agriworld. Upon his arrival, he felt drawn to the tower and would go on to explore, and later restore, the ancient structure.<\/p>\n

The backwater planet occasionally suffered raids by pirates looking to resupply their vessels, hide from justice, or just cause trouble and Ephaan felt it was his duty to instruct the locals in the basics of self-defense. After several years, several of his more gifted students began to filter out into the galaxy and make names for themselves and soon Kenzon was getting students from all over the galaxy.<\/p>\n

After the rise of the Empire, propaganda and and changes in galactic mindset lead to the slow decline of the galaxies many dueling academies. The practice was seen as a indulgence of the bloated Republic – a place for the wealthy to indulge themselves and play hero. By the Battle of Yavin, all had closed their doors or been shut down except Kenzon’s.<\/p>\n

The School:<\/strong> The tower that has become the School of Hidden Wisdom is an ancient edifice of solid stone, seemingly carved from a single, massive pillar. The top terminates in a massive translucent quartz dome and several pointed spires. It is built for defense, having no ground floor entrance, and accessible only by a turbolift to a second story balcony. \u00a0The interior has several spartan quarters for students as well as a large library, training and exercise rooms, and a grand audience chamber open to the quartz dome above.<\/p>\n
