Je’daii Order
“Harmony is not found. It is practiced.”
Overview
The Je’daii Order is the modern expression of an ancient Force philosophy first discovered on Tython and reborn on the world of Virelya following the dissolution of the Jedi Order and the fall of Sith traditions.
Unlike the Jedi and Sith, the Je’daii do not view the Force as divided. They believe the Force is a single, unified energy expressed through opposing but necessary aspects.
They do not seek to control the galaxy. They do not enforce peace.
They exist to maintain harmony within the Force itself.
To most of the galaxy, the Je’daii are myth.
Core Philosophy
The Unified Force
The Je’daii reject the concept of “light” and “dark” sides.
Instead, they teach that the Force is:
- One living current
- Expressed through opposing energies
- Neither inherently good nor evil
What matters is not which aspect is used… but whether one becomes consumed by it.
Harmony Over Purity
The Jedi sought purity. The Sith embraced dominance.
The Je’daii seek harmony.
- Passion is not forbidden
- Calm is not required
- Power is not restricted
However:
Attachment to any single state creates discord.
The Danger of Extremes
The Je’daii believe that both rigid control and unchecked emotion lead to the same outcome:
Loss of self.
A Je’daii must:
- Feel without being ruled by emotion
- Act without being consumed by action
- Reflect without becoming stagnant
The Role of the Je’daii
The Je’daii do not serve governments or factions.
They act only when:
- The Force itself is threatened
- Harmony is artificially disrupted
- A disturbance risks spreading beyond natural limits
To intervene in politics or war unnecessarily is itself considered discord.
Structure and Ranks
The Je’daii Order is intentionally decentralized. There is no permanent ruling council.
Initiate
Newly discovered Force-sensitive individuals.
- Begin foundational training
- Learn awareness of opposing aspects of the Force
- Undergo early harmony exercises
Seeker
Apprentices actively training under a Je’daii Knight.
- Study emotional control and expression
- Begin limited field exposure
- Face controlled discord scenarios
Je’daii Knight
Fully trained practitioners of harmony.
- Operate independently or in small groups
- Observe the galaxy and respond to disturbances
- Serve as mentors to Seekers
Knights are the most commonly encountered members of the Order.
Master of Harmony
Highly experienced Je’daii who have demonstrated long-term stability.
- Guide philosophy and training methods
- Resolve internal disputes
- Oversee major disturbances in the Force
They do not rule… but their insight carries great weight.
The Circle (Informal)
A loose gathering of Masters who convene when necessary.
There is no permanent council. Only temporary alignment when harmony requires it.
Training
Je’daii training is designed to expose students to both harmony and discord within the Force.
The Dual Path
Students are trained to:
- Enter states of calm and reflection
- Channel passion and intensity
They must learn to transition between the two without losing themselves.
Trials of Harmony
Training includes a series of philosophical and practical trials:
Trial of Stillness
The student must maintain clarity under emotional pressure.
Trial of Motion
The student must act decisively without hesitation or fear.
Trial of Conflict
The student faces moral dilemmas with no “correct” answer.
Trial of Reflection
The student confronts their own fears, desires, and attachments.
Controlled Discord
Unlike Jedi training, Je’daii are intentionally exposed to imbalance.
This may include:
- Anger
- Fear
- Loss
- Power
The goal is not to avoid these states… but to experience them without being consumed.
The Rite of Harmony
The final test before becoming a Je’daii Knight.
The student is placed in a situation where:
- There is no guidance
- There is no clear right or wrong
- The outcome affects others
They must act… and accept the consequences.
Weapons and Tools
Je’daii often carry lightsabers, though their design may vary.
Common traits:
- Balanced or blended blade colors (white, amber, or shifting hues)
- Modular construction
- Personal modifications reflecting the wielder’s philosophy
Some Je’daii abandon lightsabers entirely, choosing to rely solely on the Force.
The Je’daii in 300 ABY
By 300 ABY, the Je’daii are rarely seen.
They are known as:
- Wanderers
- Observers
- Relics of a forgotten age
Many believe they have abandoned the galaxy.
Others believe they are watching… waiting.
Common Misconceptions
- “They are neutral.” → False. They actively maintain harmony.
- “They use both sides freely.” → False. They use neither recklessly.
- “They could bring order to the galaxy.” → They choose not to.
Notable Locations
Quote
There is no ignorance; there is knowledge. There is no fear, there is power. I am the heart of the Force. I am the revealing fire of light. I am the mystery of darkness. In balance with chaos and harmony, Immortal in the Force.
