[The Jedi Council]

Greetings JEDI members,

We are pleased to announce the appointment of two new councilors.

• Nil Zendu
• Azar Ahlan

Their combined insight will strengthen the Council as we continue to face the challenges of the present and prepare for those yet to come.

We welcome our newest Councilors, and invite them now to share their words with the Order below.

– The Jedi Council

[Nil Zendu]

Greetings fellow Jedi,

There was once a time, where I would never even consider the position of Council. I've always put myself in the position to serve the ones who were far worthier of such an honor. And even in that endeavor, I wasn't always the easiest to deal with.

When my then padawan Rizka and I returned to Duneeden, I was a different person then when I left. I learned to appreciate the home that this place is, so I vowed to dedicate my life to protecting it and did my best to inspire others to do the same. I was granted Gate Master, and then I thought "This is honor enough for me." Not too long ago, I was granted the rank of Jedi Master and again I thought, "This is honor enough for me." Today, I won't repeat the same line to myself.

Because as I grow older, I realize how boundless we are in reaching our potential. There are no limits if you're character and heart are in the right place. My character was forged here, and my heart belongs here. I again position myself to serve the worthy. You're all the worthy ones. You're all worthy of belonging to this small wonderful place, in a corner of a galaxy that is so very large.

Sincerely,
Jedi Master Nil Zendu
Councilor

[Azar Ahlan]

Members of the Duneeden Temple,

I'd like to preface this by expressing my gratitude for the appointment to the Jedi Council. I am honoured that they wish to see me ascend to such a noble station, especially given my reputation and inexperience as a Knight.

Nevertheless, sometimes in life, we face trials and tribulations which will undoubtedly mould us in different ways. This appointment is the first of many, one that I aim to succeed in.

Make no mistake, I will carry out my duty with great honour, courage and vigilance. I vow to uphold the principles and tenets of the Jedi, obey the will of the Force and serve you all in whatever capacity is required of me. After all, such is the duty of a Jedi.

Yours faithfully,

Azar Ahlan
Jedi Knight and Councillor of the Duneeden Praxeum
