JENSAARAI , PLEASE HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi everyone, I am in the process of constructing a website, dedicated to the Force, and all the different sects of it, ie, the Ysanna, Dathomir Witches, the Fallanassi, Massassi teachings, etc, but I have come to a bad point, I need info on the Jensaarai, I know the Basics, like the info, I have hunted for in ?I, Jedi?, but now I heard about an article on the Jensaarai in a magazine called POLYHEDRON magazine, or something, like that. I have searched for it, but cannot find a copy, so could anyone PLEASE write a summary of the article, and scan some pictures from it, I know its a lot to ask and a little bit cheeky, but it will be put to good use, I am hoping to have the site up within a month, please direct me to any websites with info on the Jensaarai, or any pictures of this interesting sect.


Thank you, in advance for any help I receive.

From the Unofficial encyclopedia:

Jensaarai
this was the name used by the Force-wielding population of Suarbi 7/5. They were trained as Jedi, and even taught how to create their own lightsabers, but were taught that Obi-Wan Kenobi was one of the greatest users of the Dark Side of the Force. There are three ranks of Jensaarai: Apprentices, Defenders, and Saarai-kaar. When they became Defenders, the Jensaarai created a unique form of personal armor created from cortosis ore and modeled to make them appear to be a vicious creature. Of the Saarai-kaar, there was only one member of that rank at any one point in time. When Leonia Tavira suddenly landed on the moon and executed its Imperial governor, thereby "freeing" them from Imperial control, the Jensaarai quickly grew to trust her. She betrayed that trust, and twisted them into a position in which the only way they could protect their people was to serve as her personal warriors. They were forced to accede, and joined her aboard the Invidious. She also told them that there was a being named Halcyon who would be their undoing, so she forced them to kidnap Mirax Terrik in order to draw Corran Horn to Suarbi 7/5. When they all met in battle, Luke Skywalker made quick work of the Jensaarai while Corran battled the Saarai-kaar. He did not kill them, though, a fact which surprised most of them when they came aroubd after the battle. It was later revealed that the word Jensaarai is a Sith term that means "hidden followers of truth." The last of the true Jensaarai Sith magicians died with Nikkos Tyris, but the new Saarai-kaar continued to train her young son and the other survivors in the ways of the Force. In a strange twist of fate, she taught them that the Jedi Knights were evil, but she also taught them the use of the light side of the Force, since she lacked the ability and education to comprehend the Sith treachings. Thus, when Emperor Palpatine's Jedi purge sent Darth Vader to Suarbi 7/5, Vader killed the Saarai-kaar's son because he felt only the light side emanating from him. When Luke and Corran defeated the Jensaarai and Leonia Tavira, the Saarai-kaar understoof what had happened, and agreed that the Jedi weren't any more evil than the Jensaarai. She agreed to consider sending a delegation of her followers to Yavin 4 for formal training under Luke

Hey, Moridin? Where are you? Tell this poor bloke how to get Polyhedron backissues!

 

Sarlaac, when you get that website up and running, let me know.

Next, you should get in touch with Moridin about the back issues. The one you want is #98.

Third, there are some other Force traditions out there. Here they are and where you can find out more about them.

Baran Do sages - Hero's Guide
Mutakai adepts - Hero's Guide
Zeison Sha Warriors - Hero's Guide
Fallanassi - Coruscant and the Core Worlds Web enhancement and Hero's Guide Web enhancement #3. These enhancements can be found at the WotC website.

 

EDIT: It kept giving me a timeout error. Stupid boards!

 

It's not my fault!

 

This isn't the post you're looking for.

 

Here are some of the things I've found in myu study of the Force:

Force Traditions
The Jedi Order
The Aing-Tii
The Fallanassi
Gand Findsmen
The Jensaarai
The Witches of Dathomir: Daughters of Allya (Frenzied River Clan, Misty Falls Clan, Red Hills Clan, Singing Mountain Clan, and 5 other clans) and the Nightsisters (Great Canyon Clan)
The Ysanna
Ner Yan (obscure Cerean)
The Ancient Sith Race
Dark Lords of the Sith (Tales of the Jedi period)
Bane?s "reformed" Dark Lords of the Sith
The New Order - Palpatine's Imperial Sith & dark minions: Emperor?s Hands, Sentinels, Dark Side Adepts, Sovereign Protectors, Dark Jedi, Constable of Homunculi, Procurator of Justice with his Empire Youth and Empire Reborn, Dark Troopers, the "Second Imperium" with its Shadow Academy, the Inquisitorius, and the Jedi hunters
The Kilian Rangers & the "Renegades" (or Dark Rangers)
The Krath

Other names for the Force

Ela b?Yenntarr (Bosph for chosen of the unknown spirits)

The Breath (Kashi)
The White Current

I don't think this helps you with the Jensaarai question, but I'm bored. I have the copy of the Polyhedron with the Jensaarai article in it, it's well worth buying the magazine just for the two pieces of art.

EDIT: Added the Tyia and fixed the boards' screwup.

 

Wow, the boards are going berserk...

 

Ed -- even with a quadruple post, you left out the Tyia...

 

Here is a link to a picture of a Jensaari from the Offical site. I'm not able to show it here...

Also don't forget the Ta-Ree

 

Also the potentium(sp?) from rogue planet and reunion.

 

Thanks Sarlaac. I've been wanting a website or something about all the sects and versions of the Force. When your site is running, post the link in here.

 

What little info I have on the Tyia suggests Jacen should forget about being a Jedi and follow the ways of the Tyia. From WEG's Star Wars Roleplaying Game, Second Edition, core boo, page 150:

Tyia teaches that individual introspection is the way to learn the true way of the universe--students are taught to control their own personal Force (called "Tyia") through meditation and ceremony.

In the early NJO books, this sounds close to what Jacen was saying. And it sounds like he's pretty much returned to what he was saying in those books in the more recent books.

 

okay everyone, I will definately post the link to the site, but it is impossible to get Ployhedron magazine in England, in the obscure country side that I live, so please if any one can send me some scans in an email or PM, I would be really grateful (i aint cheap, if i could get the magazine i would), or a summary of any new info regarding the Jensaarai, please do not hesitate to send me info, i would love your imput and help in this issue, besides the idea about making the website, came from a desire to compilate all the Force Tradtions of the galaxy in one informative, and hopefully extensive site.


Oh. And a BIG BIG thankyou to those who helped this thread, especially the list of the force Traditions,

Thankyou so much, and please, anyone who has the time or capacity to send pics please do, they will benefit the site tremendouly and untimately, the enjoyment of the site will be heightened due to the visual diversity !!!!!!


in other words, please get scanning !!!!!!!!



Thankyou once again, oh, and I will post reports on the progress of the site !!!

Sarlaac

 

Actually, it's completely possible for you to buy a copy of the magazine.

You can go to The Hit Pointe (http://www.hitpointe.com) and order a copy of the magazine. It's Dungeon #98, and also may be listed elsewhere as Polyhedron #157. They ship internationally. The link to the page specifically listing this issue is here: http://www.hitpointe.com/tsr/dngnmag.htm

On top of that, Paizo Publishing keeps issues on backorder. You can get to their site by going to http://www.paizo.com and poking around.

I kinda have a thang for alternate Force traditions. I wrote that article on the Jensaarai, wrote the three brand-new ones in the Hero's Guide (Baran Do, Matukai, Zeison Sha), and am working on a top-secret project involving them as well.

 

See... ya just gotta know the right people to ask...

 

How's the progress of your site Sarlacc ?

 

Don't forget about Mace Windu's people from Shatterpoint ( I know that wasnt out when this thread started but can't hurt to update it eh?) and their name for the force Pelekotan
