KOTOR Campaign Guide Web Enhancement 5Karnak Tetsu, Sorcerer of Tund | ||||||
The new Knights of the Old Republic Campaign Guide is crammed with material that Gamemasters and players can use to create an epic Star Wars roleplaying game experience during one of the most dangerous periods of galactic history. In fact, the book is so full that we had to leave out a few things that just wouldn't fit. But never fear -- we're bringing those game options to you as a series of exclusive web enhancements! Today's installment: Karnak Tetsu, Sorcerer of Tund! Karnak Tetsu, Sorcerer of TundThe secret of the universe -- its professed possession is no small claim. But beyond Republic space, an entire people allege just that. Karnak Tetsu is one of these Sorcerers of Tund, descendants of the Sith race. Even though the original Sith were steeped in sortilege, sentient sacrifices, and wars, they lived spiritually serene lives, never doubting conflict's integral role to existence. Only with their introduction to methodic Rakatan malice did these Sith truly embrace the dark side. However, Sith priests interpreted the death of their Sith'ari in the Rakatan conflict as a sign to reject this concept. These heretics were banished from the Sith homeworld, following their instincts to the Force-soaked world Tund. This pureblooded Sith society combines science, ontology, and magic. Convinced by their Rakatan interactions that all sentients are Force-sensitive, the Sorcerers of Tund proclaim that the omnipresence of the Force (or "the Unity") illuminates the deception of dualities and multiplicity. Their cosmology views life as perfectly harmonious and the existence of true opposites as an illusion. The sorcerers have interactions with early Jedi, who view them as merely another Force sect, like the Jal Shey or Zeison Sha. However, following the Restoration -- and Karnak Tetsu's reign of terror -- Jedi label the sorcerers' hermetica as unqualified heresy. Unsurprisingly, the sorcerers are reticent in accepting outlanders, believing that only true Sith can grasp their truth. On one occasion, however, they welcome the few remaining Massassi and Kissai, descended from outcasts much like themselves. The leader of the Sorcerers of Tund during the years following the Great Sith War is the enigmatic Karnak Tetsu.
