The Library and Archives of the Blackguard contains all of the collected knowledge acquired since the Blackguard Reborn was created. Copies of all the information within the Sith Academy on Iridonia reside here. Galactic histories, lore on both the Jedi and the Sith, forbidden knowledge long sought after, all of it is located here. True to Jen'ari Malvus' philosophy, knowledge is power. Having personally overseen several select pieces being brought in, the Library and Archives continue to grow with each conquered world or raided stronghold.

Luxeria had spent the better part of an hour walking about the temple, making a mental map in her head where everything was as she explored. It was quite vast, filled with many rooms of varying types. From the medical wing, to the common areas, the barracks and extra rooms, and based on the guards posted outside, she'd assume she even passed the throne room or some place where the Sith'ari resided. But her final stop happened to be a place that would show her some value in the moment: the library and archives.
Entering, she spent some time just walking around, looking at rows of files, books, and pads. In the middle looked like a central database housing much of the information, or where it could be found. Going to it, she began inputting commands to search out the information she required. Once again, she was going to dive into the knowledge of the Sith, their philosophy, code, and history. She had originally thought she was done with it for the time being until the last questions posed to her before her departure. He had asked her what it truly meant to be a Sith, what separated them from other Dark-Siders, and what separated them from all other Force Orders of all types. She had been skeptical about it, but he assured her that he wanted her to grasp the difference, to see what it truly meant to be a Sith and if the path she was on led to being one. Just thinking she was a Sith wasn't enough; she had to know the difference to be a better Sith, or, in the case her desires led somewhere else, to be the better person she chose to be.
Having gained the locatio of the files she wished, she moved down the rows of shelves, pulling off files and books covering what she wished to know. Once gathered, she took a seat at one of the tables and began reading, her mind open to seeing the truth and finding the difference.

The hours ticked on as Luxeria combed through text after text, file after file, finding an answer to the question that was asked of her. What did it mean to be Sith and what separated them from other Dark-Siders? Gavin had also asked of her what the difference was between the Sith and Jedi, but that was a subject for another day. This was the more critical question in her mind currently. What truly made the Sith and Dark Jedi two different things? What was the line that separated them from each other, that made the Sith ultimately feel superior? There was a clear distinction, she knew, and Gavin had wanted her to find it, to see the difference and know if she was merely playing Sith or truly was. In fact, the better question was, were they all just playing Sith?
She had spent the passed few months looking over the history of the Sith, their philosophy, their code, but never once did she think about the question. And here she was now, going back over all that knowledge to see what she had missed, or simply put, never thought about understanding. Her eyes were starting to blur from looking at everything for so long and so intently. She didn't want to miss something, that vital piece of knowledge that revealed to her an answer. And after all this time, she felt she had an answer.
However, as she pulled together these answers, she wasn't as sure if she was considered Sith or not. One of the qualities she found that was meant to separate the Sith and Dark Jedi was the fact that the Sith lacked fear. As much as it was written, she didn't find this fact to be true. All beings felt fear in some capacity. No matter how well they had overcome it and could stand against it, she believed fear always remained and could surface when the tables were truly turned against them and they were pushed to their greatest limits. She couldn't remember the last time she, herself, had felt fear going into battle or even being pushed harder than normal. perhaps in those moments, she thought she was without fear, but through her search, she couldn't help but think otherwise. Her other emotions had simply overridden her fear as she had become used to fighting and putting her life on the line and overcoming her adversaries. The thrill of battle gave her a rush that made her feel invincible at times and her skills were able to carry her through. But she couldn't dismiss the idea, now, that one day, her fear would once again rise up within her. The real question was, would it consume her, or would she overcome it? Even more, would she let it flow through her and feed off of it to make her stronger. The Sith did feed on emotion, be it their own or others. So fear was just another weapon at her disposal provided she could focus and sharpen her mind so to overcome the overwhelming sensation it brought and channel it against her enemy.
Moving on, she learned that a big difference between the groups was ambition. The Sith always seemed to hold a grander desire, to rule the galaxy in one form or another. That was what they worked for as they waged their wars against the Jedi and opposing governments. Dark Jedi, however, had smaller goals, usually also resulting in personal gain and riches. Working only to ever better themselves, they didn't seem to care so much about ruling the galaxy. Truth was, neither did she. She cared not about ruling the galaxy and bringing it under her control. She followed that path as it was the goals of her master and the Blackguard, but for her, it served no purpose for her. All she cared about was, at most, ruling a city or a planet, convincing them to see her as a goddess. Was her ambition too small for the Sith? Or was she merely focused on what was enough for her once all was said and done? After all, one person couldn't rule the galaxy on their own. Even if they put all the work in and achieved this goal, they still needed those to follow them, that were loyal to help rule them. This was true during the first Galactic Empire. One man was able to bring the entire galaxy under his control for the most part, overthrowing the Galactic Republic and crating the Empire, yet, he didn't achieve full control on his own, nor rule over every being with none else to lead. So, as it stood, she followed the goals of the Blackguard and the Sith to conquer and rule the galaxy, but was looking passed that to what would await her. So yes, conquest was something she sought and was working for.
Then came the last, more superficial reasoning that was clear in its separation. Dark Jedi were either fallen Jedi or Force-sensitives that rebuked the light and followed the path of the Dark-Side. The Sith had a culture, a heritage, and philosophy that they held themselves to. Both were selfish, concerned with themselves, but the Sith had a sense of order and a way of thinking while the Dark Jedi typically did whatever they wanted to, even falling into the employ of the Sith.
Closing her books and files and she began to replace them, satisfied with the knowledge she had obtained. Truly, she had been enlightened by the question asked of her. It made her look at herself and establish a certainty of who she was. many more questions were asked of her, some that were already known, but in the moment, this was the most important that needed answering. But there was something the information didn't answer. What fully determined what the Sith philosophy was? While at the core it remained the same, there were changes from time to time depending on what order was in charge and what rule of succession they followed. Did that make them any less Sith than those that started it all? Was the Sith an ever changing order that followed the desires of the one who ruled over them? These questions, she knew, couldn't be found in a book. Only one could truly answer that question, the one who currently ruled over the Sith. And right now, that man was Viox Savage, Sith'ari of the Blackguard Reborn. The next time they came face to face, she'd ask him that question.
For now, she departed the library and made her way down the hall. She had come across the stairs that led downwards. There the darkness resonated strongly. Perhaps it would be a good place to meditate upon what she had just learned.

Having finally gotten enough of a break to effectively move, Luxeria headed from the dueling arena to the library. There was still things she needed to know, answers that needed to be found per Gavin’s instruction. Quickly, she made her way to the central unit to begin locating everything she was going to need. Once found, she moved about the chamber, gathering books and files.
Moving to a secluded spot, she began her work, pouring through the knowledge resting before. It would be much more difficult than her previous endeavor for instead of figuring out the difference between the Sith and other dark side practitioners, she had to see what the difference was between the Jedi and the Sith. When she first heard the question, she thought it would easy to know the answer and that it was mostly a superficial question. But thinking in it, she believed otherwise. Gavin wasn’t one to ask such questions. No, it had a much deeper purpose. And so, her work began.

Luxeria spent an hour or so combing over the details of the Jedi and the Sith, trying to find the differences between the two orders. But all she found was the basic knowledge that she learned from her masters. Followed the Light-Side, preferred to stay calm and remove themselves from emotions, attempted to avoid violence, the average knowledge that existed. Maybe those things were all there was. But it couldn't be. Gavin wasn't the person to ask simple questions. There had to be more. If not, then perhaps he wanted her to discover what created this difference. Either way, what she was looking for wouldn't be found through an overview or recent history. She'd have to go back, back to the beginning where these two orders found their existence.

Days went on as Luxeria made daily trips to the archives after her training sessions in dueling arena. There was certainly always more to learn, which she took advantage of in researching to abilities, understanding the history of Sith Lords and thier personal ideas and philosophy, she even was attempting to learn High Sith after visiting Sullust and speaking with Ifrit Bladeweaver. But one topic held the largest part of her studies: the difference between the Jedi and Sith.
She had spoken to Vasari about it a few days prior, curious to her thoughts on the matter. But even if it seemed like the answer was right there, she never stopped pursuing a deeper answer. This led her to dive into the histories of both orders and seeing how the began and evolved into. It would be there, she was certain, that the true answer to the question would lay.

Days of visiting the library to research the Jedi and Sith had passed before Luxeria felt she was grasping what the true differences were. Leaning back in her chair, she began to contemplate and bring her thoughts together. It certainly hadn't be easy, and even now, she felt there were things missing from what she learned. Still, she had a bit deeper understanding than before.
In the beginning, There was no Sith order like there was now. It all began with the Jedi. It was only when a group of Jedi felt that they shouldn't solely rely on the Light-Side that the start of the Sith began. That was curious though on its own. Those that were exiled from the order felt that they shouldn't only rely on the Light-Side instead of simply rely on the Dark-Side. It wasn't until after that they followed the path of darkness. From there, the exiled Jedi came in contact with he Sith race and came to eventually form the Sith Order.
But from there, the traditional differences she had come to know between the two orders was all there really was. Perhaps if she dug deeper she'd find more, but that would be something she'd learn further down the road. She needed to direct her attention back to progressing herself and becoming stronger.

Vasari's cloaked form moved quickly through the corridors of the Obelisk to the Library. She had gained a valuable piece of Intel on Felucia that she had been unable to pursue for too long now. With the recovery after Felucia and then the mission to Anzat she had not even had the opportunity to fully go over everything that she taken off the Forest Planet, though she was sure the information had been properly integrated into the BlackGuard's archives here at the Obelisk. Upon moving through the entrance to the archive room she hesitated for a moment, reaching out with her feelings along the first current of the force searching for Luxeria's presence. She wasn't sure what the young girl would decide to do, but whatever it was, it would be whatever she believed to be best. Needless to say however Vasari was still slightly nervous and found herself pacing just within the archway to the archive room, her fingers tapping gently on the long shaft of her saber-staff.
She felt the presence of Luxeria's approach long before she ever saw her, she must be wearing the Necklace she had found below the Castle. A powerful and interesting artifact that seemed to increase her presence within the first current where normally she would appear as a soft swell in the water, distinct but largely unremarkable - now it was different, the swells were larger and she felt drawn even more to the presence. Vasari wasn't sure what the use of such an artifact would be but at least Luxeria was sure of its purpose. Vasari had spent days staring at the ring she now wore, probing it within the first current of the force and even the second as she attempted to get any read off of it within the Living Force - it held a presence but she could feel nothing from it. Even now as she absently twirled it around her finger with her thumb - clearly still fidgety - it only radiated with the power of the dark side. She hesitated even to wear it because she wasn't sure if she could effectively mask its presence in the force as well as her own if she did try her Quey'tek. Regardless, Vasari quickly came to the conclusion that it would not reveal itself by sitting in a box, a ring was a piece of jewelry, and was meant to be worn. She only hoped that in doing so its use would be established quickly.

Luxeria made her way down the halls, a focus driven pace as she could already sense Vasari in the library. Yet, she was surprised to see her friend pacing the entrance. Was she worried about what choice Luxeria had made? Was she debating moving forward with trying to find the books location? She had opted to remain out of Vasari's mind, outside the link to keep any thoughts from filtering into her own mind.
Reaching the door, she didn't even allow a glance to the Zabrak as she walked on pass, moving into the library and down one of the line of shelves with a practiced form. Knowing what she wanted, she removed a text she had been reading for some time in trying to understand the difference between Jed and Sith. Taking a seat, she began reading again. Minutes passed without a single word or action of acknowledgement to Vasari's presence. It almost seemed as if the human was now actively ignoring her. But that was far from the case. removing herself from the link, she was able to think on what to do and the questions to ask without her friend knowing what was going on inside her mind.
A few more minutes passed before the link was opened once more and she spoke to Vasari's mind. <<What do you intended to do once you find it?>>

To say that Vasari was worried wouldn't have quite been accurate, but when Luxeria moved passed her with such fluid ease, heavily armed it seemed and prepared for nearly anything it did cause her some pause, but what set on her mind the most was that Luxeria's mind was unreadable. Either she was keeping to herself because she was focused on something, or she was actively blocking Vasari out. She frowned slightly as Luxeria moved passed her and giving her a bit of space she waited, looked back down the corridor for troops, then shrugged and followed after. She hadn't been here before, but Luxeria seemed to know exactly where she was going. She pulled out a book and began to read. At home in generally any library Vasari sat down easily on the opposite side of the table from her friend and called a book from the nearby shelving to her effortlessly with the force and opened it up pretending to read for a long moment. Even without barely paying attention she soaked up the information the book had to offer - it was a combat guide on the original forms of lightsaber combat. Starting with the Origin of form I and then after a few pages Form II. Makashi had grown as a counter to Form I combatants never getting anywhere, saber on saber combat was growing in popularity and those that learned Makashi quickly more oft than not found victory. As she idly turned the page into Form III, her own form which she knew better than most she was passively bored, and if Luxeria's voice hadn't come to her then she would have begun to actually worry.
Read it...
She replied simply. Her eyes twitched up and a facial expression that said both "duh" and "really?" at the same time covered her face. It didn't come to her mind until then that she no doubt meant more than that, but she never looked to the future, she never bothered with it. One of the teachings of the Living Force to not center on anxieties, and keep your attention in the 'here and now'. A simplistic view to be sure, but it spoke volumes when you delved into the meanings of what it really meant to focus on the here and now. She shook her head slightly, lifting her shoulders in the age old non-committal gesture, and looked back down at the page. It was impossible to say what mindset she would be in, or what the book would teach her.

Luxeria's head dropped slightly, the clear, obvious expression of being dumbfounded. Never would she have thought Vasari to give an answer that was confirmed by simple common sense. But after a moment, the shrug came, allowing Luxeria to take a breath, seeing that her friend had just caught on to what she really meant. And after the small discussion about the difference between the Jedi and Sith earlier to boot.
She let all that slip from her mind, though as this wasn't some game for them to have fun with. Everything was serious in this moment. Letting her gaze slip up enough to meet the Zabrak's eyes, she continued. <<What are you really afraid of in seeking out this book? Why do you keep it hidden? Why do you think it'd even matter to Viox where you came from?>>

Vasari pondered that question for a much longer than than was probably necessary, flipping idly through the pages of the book before her - not really even pretending to understand what they were saying, she moved over the different forms as they were depicted with small drawings in the margins of the text, briefly and vaguely showing the different stances that made up various techniques that she had either mastered or dismissed as unnecessary posturing. The simplest explanation was that she was of course that she was a secluded and sheltered personality by nature and trusting anyone with anything was generally difficult for her, but this was a secret she had kept through her years at the academy - the reason she had passed over opportunities for advancement at the Academy and ultimately the reason she had killed not one, but two students there... one death unknown to anyone but Xakire, and he had conveniently gone missing shortly after the conquest of Mustafar allowing for this acceleration in her own plans. The heart of the matter however, was something else entirely. Should Viox discover everything and think her either not devoted to his cause at best, or at worst a traitor, then everything she had worked to build here would be ruined... but why would he think that. That was the true question that Luxeria should be asking. What did Vasari really have to hide. She closed the book at last and looked up to meet Luxeria's eyes.
I am hardly the Ideal sith apprentice already Luxeria. I dont bow and scrape to the other masters wishes, i don't follow orders, i dont care about any clear chain of command... should my wishes ever run contrary to anyone else's i would hardly be considered an ally. I barely submit to Viox himself... at the moment he just believes im head strong. Then he discovers I'm a Nightsister plant, with orders to undermine his rule... use his knowledge against him, and spit in the face of his ancestors?
Vasari pushed the book away with disgust as if to accent her point with the expression on her face, while maintaining a passable charade for any onlookers. It was a fair reason to keep something like that to ones self. Perhaps not one that Luxeria would understand, but baring even direct orders to assassinate viox himself and destroy the blackguard from within - such a perception upon the apprentice of the Leader of the Blackguard could hardly be considered ideal.
And then there is Xakire... the perfect First Order Sith Hybrid Poster Child. Where did he go? What happened to him? "Hmm Vasari was appointed apprentice right after his disappearence..." That is questionable at best... at worst outright incriminating. "Did she kill him? That hardly goes along with Viox's attempting to unite the Sith"

Luxeria watched Vasari from the top of her eyes, pretending to read just as much as Vasari was. For a fair bit of time, her friend remained silent. when she finally spoke, she couldn't help but lean back in her chain, setting her gaze to the ceiling. She processed what Vasari said, trying to formulate her own opinions of what it meant and what Vasari would do. But those really didnt matter. It was Vasari who held the answers and no other.
<<So the real question remains, what will you remain loyal to when the time comes? If orders came to, in fact, undermine the Blackguard, destroy it from within, or kill Viox, would you? Or you will continue to stand with the Sith you presently reside within? Because, to be honest, your wishes aren't really a concern. If anything, you are a more ideal Sith than you think. Maybe not for Viox's vision of them, but typical nonetheless. Since when did any Sith truly care about the chain of command and think of anyone but their own wishes? Submission has always been merely a formality to gain whatever power they desired, then killing those above them when they believed themselves stronger. Personal desires, rivalry, competition what really separates you from a Sith? Do you truly know what it means to be Sith, the difference between a Dark-sider and a Sith?>>
She then turned her gaze back to Vasari, a focused and hardened one. <<And who's to say he doesn't already know? He doesn't seem like someone who takes in everyone without understanding them. After all, how did he come to know my true name? That name faded well before I met Malvus. You are the only one to find it since and yet he has come to know it. I find it difficult to think he hasn't already figured you out. Besides, considering how many of the younglings of the Sith are found, I don't think it concerns him that much. Most likely, if you followed an orders to bring him down, he would be ready for you and kill you with ease. Outside of that, finding the book isn't going to cause problems. Knowledge is power, no matter the source. The more you know, the stronger you become. If anything, the only reason finding that book would be a hindrance among the Blackguard is because you have knowledge they don't, nothing more.>>
She let things hang there, curious as to Vasari's response. Had the Zabrak already thought things through to this point or had she been so focused on keeping that past hidden that it was a thought that never crossed her mind?

Vasari was silent for an especially long time, simply sitting there staring blankly into the table between them. She was calculating things within her mind, running situations, eventual and possible outcomes everything that could possibly come of this. There was knowledge at the Academy that was forbidden, and most of what she had learned of the Living Force was in the Restricted Section under old manuscripts stolen from the Jedi Order. This book would no doubt fit within such a category, being written by a woman who was once a Jedi herself. She shook her head after the time had passed and raised her eyes back to Luxeria.
Fine then... I need a Memory Recall Device.
She stood from the table and walked away for a short time, returning after a few moments with a table mount and a small chip that she was fastening to the side of her head right above her temple where the skull was the weakest. There was a gentle zapping sound as she attached the device to her body and the electrical current passed into the brain accessing the memory centers. Devices such as these were designed to visualize something within a memory. Generally she could do something similar through the use of the Force, but she had only seen the star chart once, when the Force Apparition had projected it into her mind, and she did not know as much as she should about the star systems of the Universe to know the system by memory alone.
Setting the display mount upon the table she activated the Holoprojector and cleared her mind, attempting to bring the memory to the forefront of her mind. It was relatively simple, these projector recall devices were designed to work with your mind, not against it, and so simply recalling the event generally allowed the projection to be displayed across the display. It took only a few moments for the star system to pull up stars appearing displayed between them on the table focusing on the Quelii sector. She was familiar with that sector only by name and she swallowed as she zoomed in on the planet.
"This isn't possible... The Mandalorian's took the book off the planet during the wars... Its Dathomir."
As if to answer her question a symbol appeared over the planet, another connection to the memory she was pulling from the Force Apparition and a time stamp appeared over the planet alongside a symbol, two half circles atop each other, each a different size and color. She peered at the symbol, not knowing it by shape. After entering several commands into the computer she pulled up a profile on the symbol and signed in understanding, and in defeat.
"Crimson Dawn... That bastard... he told me the book would be here, but Crimson Dawn lost control of Dathomir decades ago."

Seeing that Vasari finally chose to seek out the book, she watched as the Zabrak disappeared, returning a little while later with the device she spoke of. Never before had she seen one, much less heard of it. All she could do was wait as her friend hooked herself up to it to retrieve the memory.
Before long a star map came into view. She silently waited as Vasari dialed in a location, only to be hit with defeat. It seemed that the trail ended before it really began. Yet, something made her feel as if it was either there still or a clue could be found leading to its current resting place. Leaning back, she looked at her friend. "Well, I guess all we can do is go there and find out for ourselves."

Vasari exhaled softly and reached up to pull the device from her temple. There was a small zap as the electrical nodes discharged from being disconnected from her brain and she put the device back into the projector base and moved it to the side before crossing her arms over the table and lowering her chin to rest on her crossed wrists with a mildly dramatic sigh of distress.
"Yea... as simple as going home."
she whispered softly while staring blankly at the projector out of the corner of her eye like it had wronged her in some way. Her free hand began to fiddle with the ring that was now on her finger, still not used to its presence there, or the linger chill it gave her entire arm. Its dark side presence was growing the longer it was connected with her skin, and her own balance was growing more difficult to maintain, but there were other things that occupied her mind at this moment and so she chose to ignore it. She hesitated a moment, rerunning what Luxeria had said through her mind and then blinked before looking back at her.
"We?"
She whispered a little hopefully, suddenly the worry of going home was forgotten and the foreign presence of the ring was a distant memory, all banished by the weight of Luxeria's simple choice of words. Her eyes brightened a little and the feint tinges of red faded from her orange and yellow eyes, a look of happiness coming to her lips.

Crossing her arms, Luxeria gave a faint smirk at the question. She expected a sense of surprise within the Zabrak at the mention and it didn't leave Luxeria disappointed. "Yes, we. You really think I'm going to let you do this alone? What have I ever let you handle by yourself since we met? Besides, you said yourself that those that go after it are never heard from again. Someone's got to kerp you cover and ensure you make it back."
Though she said nothing of it, she wasn't concerned about Vasari doing anything against Viox. Killing him would be a difficultbtask, as would bringing down the Blackguard or undermining his plans. Unlike the Sith of the past who used those moments to sieze control, this order would hunt her down. No matter the choice, Vasari wouldn't fair well, and she believed the Zabrak was aware of it.

Vasari blushed softly at the thought that Luxeria had been looking after her since they had met. She hadn't really considered it, and definitely hadn't thought about it for any measure of time but thinking about it now made her blood warm and her breath short. She wondered for a moment even if she had intended on killing Viox, would Luxeria had stood by her even then. She blinked slightly looking at her, studying her face for a long moment a smile on her lips that wouldn't seem to go away. It did cross her mind that Luxeria was simply keeping an eye on her in case she moved against the Order... but she didn't give that much thought. The fact that Luxeria felt loyal towards her in some small way, or at least protective of her well being was a much better idea to keep her thoughts company.
"I'm not going to take anyone else... Just you then, but I don't have a ship."She looked aside for a moment as if considering something before speaking again."I suppose I could steal one... like the Kessel Mission... wouldn't be too out of character for me."
She smiled slightly, but the look in her eyes made it so the character behind the smile was difficult to discern. The truth was she would have done it, and wouldn't have thought twice about it afterwords, wouldn't have worried about the consequences until they were before her, and even then wouldn't have been remorseful in the least. It was her nature... to live in the moment and decide what to do with each situation as it presented itself. Such a personality made it very difficult to form any sort of long term plans... the options never seemed to present themselves in such a way for her to act on them, and she never looked ahead any further than a matter of days, or even hours.

There was no reason in her mind to actually watch Vasari for what she may or may not do. In fact, most of her questions focused less on gathering information that could be relayed back to the Sith'ari and more geared to helping her friend see and realize who she was rather than some tool waiting orders. However, even she couldn't tell what she'd do if Vasari did, in fact, attempt to kill Viox.
When the mention came that she didn't have a ship of her own, Luxeria merely shook her head with a laugh. "We really need to get you your own ship. That way, you can come and go as you please to whatever destination you desire, especially if you're given individual mission. However, I'm currently in the same boat as you. It'll be another six to eight months before my ship is even ready to fly. Preferrably, I'd rather wait until then, allowing us to make use of the stealth systems. That's why I especially want to hold off on going to Felucia. Being the Jedi's home, we'll need to be as invisible as possible. But if you are wanting to head out soon, I'm sure there are a few ships available that we borrow for the time being."

Vasari shook her head slightly lifting her shoulders in a gentle shrug."I mean... I have one... It's just not on this planet - to be honest I dont know which planet its on..."She shook her head slightly pushing the thought away not wanting to go into it any deeper than that at the moment. She stood and after returning the Memory recall device she came back to the table."I'm sure the hanger will have something we can use..."She gave Luxeria a gentle smile and then looked her over."Are you in need of anything else before we head out?"
