She and Chwuq are quite a team! I mean, I knew that before, but seeing them fight together like this is cool :) Mood music indeed! I'll listen as I write my reply for sure(which should come today!). Speaking of the reply, should I just have Yerbol kill Illesia in the next post? Or would you like to do the honors? I know...it's strange, isn't it? To think that we've written two acts and we've traversed, what, eight months in the universe? That's not a long time and SO much has happened. I think that the end of Act II would be a perfect time to give these two a chance to do some fun things like they did at the end of Act I. Speaking of which... When do you want to end Act II? I know that we want to eventually get these two married off, but do you want to do that in between Acts Two and Three? Or do you want that to be at the end of Act II? I don't want it to be rushed, so I feel like we would have to do some kind of time skip after all this mess with Illesia. I've got a loose skeleton of events in my head that I'll list for you to add/subtract/modify from: Act II: -Illesia is defeated and any remaining Xiis are either taken down or unaccounted for and assumed dead -Yerbol and Aria head back to Zinuthra to decompress/teach an occasional lesson while they heal up(Maybe a month?) -During their recovery period on Zinuthra, more Force users trickle in every day, leading the Council to anoint more Knights. I would assume that after seeing how easily threats can emerge from any point in the galaxy, they would want Knights to fight them off. -At the end of the month, the Council and the Alliance formalizes a treaty between the two. This treaty spells out, in basic terms, that the Qyaari are to act as an independent body recognized as such by the Alliance. In return for the autonomy, the Qyaari agree to supplement Alliance forces with Knights on operations and missions that pose a threat to the galaxy as a whole. These operations will have to be signed off on by both the Council and Chancellor Saresh. I think it would also make sense to start converting the settlements into Qyaari outposts, which would act almost like an embassy for any Force user who would need guidance. -This ceremony would take place on Coruscant, seeing as Dromund Kaas seems like it would need some more time to recover after the Xiis attacked(we'll need to go back there more often and develop the world). Half of the Council would attend along with Ari and Yerbol(the others I assume would stay behind to assist at the Academy). -It would be then that Yerbol would want to discover what Neta left them on the planet(which I think you'll like) -From there...well, I don't know, honestly. What do you think?
