House Ektrosis
The Great Clanning brought a huge change to the Brotherhood. Now, houses had members of only one order. Siths and Obelisks abandoned House Ektrosis, and many felt that the power of the House was reduced. But there were some who knew different; and in the chaos and confusion brought by the Clanning they sought to bring a new sense of unity and understanding to the members of Ektrosis.
One of such persons was Alanna, a Krath Priestess of great reknown. A first Quaestor after Clanning, she began the forging of new Ektrosis, a Krath House of Clan Taldryan. She brought peace and stability to Ektrosis, forming a core of the future House and setting Ektrosis on the path of future glory.
The first test for the leadership of Clan Taldryan came soon after the Clanning. As Dark Council announced that each Clan will have a system as its feud, the newly organized Clans started to fight among themselves for the best systems within the Emperor's Hammer territories. Thanks to the joint efforts of its three houses, Clan Taldryan established its presence in the Karana system. Ektrosis moved to a volcanic planet of Deva, where they could practice their secret rituals undisturbed. .
Members of Ektrosis had a little time to relax, for another test of their abilities was quick to come. The rivlary between Clan Arcona and Clan Taldryan grew beyound controll of the Dark Council, and two Clans announced a feud to settle their differences. Having completely outmatched the Kraths of Clan Arcona, members of House Ektrosis forced them to surrender and brought Clan Arcona to a hummiliating defeat. No Clan of the Brotherhood dared to attack the mighty Clan Taldryan alone after this feud.
After that comes a time of stability and progress for House Ektrosis. Led by Alanna, the house solidified its positions. The House patiently waited for its time, untill, in the Rite of Supermacy it revealed its full power and defeated all other Krath Houses on the field of battle. House Ektrosis became known as the First House of the Krath, a title it will hold for a long time.
Other Krath Houses sought revenge, and they quickly saw the opportunity in their power-hungry Consuls. Through lies and false promises they succeeded in starting a Great Jedi War among the Clans of the Dark Brotherhood. Ektrosis responded, and, fighting alongside their Taldryan brothers won a decesive victory over the other Clans of the Brotherhood.
That victory was also the last acomplishment of Quaestor Alanna. Feeling that her time as a leader of Ektrosis is coming to an end, she willingly resigned from her position and left the leadership of Ektrosis to others.
That was a time of unstable peace in the Brotherhood. This was also a time of unstability in Ektrosis, in which Quaestors were often changed. Though each of them was higly quallified, they all lacked the time to implement their plans on the Ektrosis. The decline of Ektrosis was complete when House Aleema of Satal Keto prevailed over Ektrosis in the Rite of Supermacy and become the First House of Krath.
A short time after that defeat, new people rose to rule House Ektrosis. Betja Jun and Aragorn Unteminar took control of the house and started to rebuild it.
Though the Great Krath War caught new Ektrosis in a middle of reorganization, Betja and Aragorn reacted quickly, and Ektrosis prevailed over Aleema, thus again regaining the title of the First House of Krath.
Now, the Ektrosis again looks forward to a bright future, a future where Ektrosis will again dominate the order of the Krath. But there are many challenges ahead, for other Houses will not bow to Ektrosis willingly, and members of Ektrosis will be called to arms for many years to come, to defend their title and the honor of their House.
