[X] The hidden tomb of Darth Imperius
Great Chapter. Always happy to have Nyx appearances even if I really liked the sound of Imperius's style. That's an interesting list of Locations, but I've always perceived Skylah as the generous sort prone to get sidetracked with other peoples problems before her own.
I look forward to more. Thanks, and have a nice day.

[X] The hidden tomb of Darth Imperius
If we do manage to visit everything, something I have to admit, I somewhat doubt, I'd like to go to Skylah's first meeting place with her parents the last. If we don't, regret about a missed opportunity is a nice narrative hook.

(updated on August 1st, 2022; current as of Update 002)
Characters:
Skylah's family:
Skylah Lavaeolus:
Species: Imperial human (human-Sith hybrid)
Force alignment: Light (weird)
You, usually!
Skylah is a young Force Adept out on her own for the first time. She's friendly, worrisomely impulsive, and has an increasingly nonexistent filter between her head and her mouth the more nervous she gets. Originally a war orphan rescued from the ruins of Dromund Kaas, she was raised in the heart of the Republic, on Empress Teta.
Number of cute boys Skylah has kissed on this adventure so far: 0 😔
Arlunia Lavaeolus:
Species: Human
Force alignment: Light (weird)
Skylah and Jazt's mother ("Mom"). A reclusive Jedi master who has blithely been leading a double life for the past two decades, raising a family on her homeworld of Empress Teta with a Sith Lord she arguably redeemed. Those in the Jedi Order who suspect this are willing to look the other way, in light of Arlunia's many years of service, and general failure to fall to corruption. While Skylah takes strongly after her, her impulsiveness has been tempered by experience.
Marital status: Improbably good
Nyx, Lord of the Sith Lavaeolus:
Species: Mirialan
Force alignment: Dark
Skylah and Jazt's mother ("Pa'ma", casual Mirialan for 'mother', pronounced like Pam, not like pom): What is left of the Sith Order is aware of a Sith blademaster hiding in solitude somwhere in the Core Systems. This is very nearly true; Nyx has spent the past twenty odd years perfecting her master's style of lightsaber combat, but also as a devoted wife and mother. Born an alien slave on Dromund Kaas in the last decades of the Sith Empire, even after her Force Sensitivity was discovered, she survived to become a full Sith through cold, ruthless determination. Subsequently, she cuts a generally terrifying figure even in the most domestic of settings.
Marital status: Inexplicably good
JaztLavaeolus Naht:
Species: Human-Mirialan hybrid
Force Alignment: Light
Skylah's younger brother, who has left home to study as a Jedi padawan, taking on the surname of Nyx's long dead mother, Skylah Naht. As reticent as his sister is reckless.
"He's a huge nerd, and also really kind of boring. Only I'm allowed to say that, though" -- Skylah
Jedi:
Jedi Knight Amira Rist:
Species: Human
Force alignment: Light
Born into Alderaanian nobility, Amira's family tried to hide her Force sensitivity instead of sending her to the Jedi as a child. This allowed her to fall prey to the manipulations of a Sith Lord, who was killed by Arlunia in her youth. After bring brought into the Order, Amira is a dedicated, if unorthodox Jedi, and an expert in archeology, specialising in Sith ruins. A friend and ally to Skylah.
"She's not trying to do that thing where she reminds you of how wise and smart and whatever she is, I wish more Jedi were like that!" -- Skylah
Jedi Knight Jorden Venn:
Species: Mirialan
Force alignment: Light
A Jedi Knight who crossed paths with Skylah, facing torture to allow her to escape Lord Myre on Tyrost. Master to Avress.
Padawon Avress Dar:
Species: Mirialan
Force alignment: Light
A Jedi padawan, an ally to Skylah, if not always a friend. Brash and overconfident. Padawan under Jorden Venn.
Sith:
Brenby Vox:
Species: Miraluka
Force alignment: Dark
The former apprentice of Lord Myre, and a sometime ally and maybe-friend to Skylah. They parted ways on Tyrost, after Skylah gave him a compendium of ancient Sith knowledge. He is currently trying to make it on his own, while staying away from Darth Shaed's operatives.
Darth Shaed, Dark Lord of the Sith:
Species ???
Force alignment: Dark
An infamously dangerous Sith Lord, who Skylah's parents have a troubled history with. She had the same master that Nyx did. Capricious, cruel, and legendarily vindictive. A member of the "Dark Circle", a loose collective of Sith Lords each claiming the title of Dark Lord.
"I talked to her once? She seemed, um... well, not nice, I guess." -- Skylah
Darth Trocia, Dark Lord of the Sith:
Species: Imperial human
Force alignment: Dark
A Sith Lord controlling the ruins of Dromund Kaas. She's ruthlessly efficient and not as prone to petty cruelty as most of her peers, but she's still incredibly dangerous. A member of the "Dark Circle", a loose collective of Sith Lords each claiming the title of Dark Lord.
Jyte Blackstar:
Species: Imperial human
Force alignment: Dark
Apprentice to Darth Shaed, with a grudge against Skylah, Brenby, and Avress Dar. Volatile and cruel. Skylah's pretty sure she's dead, and is entirely incorrect!
Droids:
T9-E7
Model: T-series Astromech
Amira Rist's astromech. She's friendly and helpful, to the point that she seems like she's deliberately making X2 look bad in comparison.
X2-L4
Model: X-series Imperial Astromech (ancient)
Skylah's ill-tempered astromech, bought off a scavenger. He's a centuries old model restored to functionality.
Others:
Draeler Aash:
Species: Pureblood Sith
The son of the late Darth Aash. One of the last living pureblood Sith, and one of the vanishingly few to inherit Sith features without being Force sensitive.
Fi Vekka:
Species: Nautolan
Darth Trocia's lover, and loyal right hand. Rumoured to be a former bounty hunter or assassin.
Elra Sevria:
Species: Pantoran
A young scavenger Skylah met on Tyrost. Keel's twin sister.
Keel Sevria:
Species: Pantoran
A young scavenger Skylah met on Tyrost. Elra's twin brother. Incredibly hot.
Deceased:
Darth Imperius, Dark Lord of the Sith:
Species: Imperial human, Dark-Side apparition
Force alignment: ???
A centuries-dead Sith Lord, currently haunting Skylah. Her intentions are seemingly friendly, and she has yet to possess Skylah's body without permission.
"She really doesn't have to be so sarcastic about it all the time, though!" -- Skylah
Darth Aash:
Species: Pureblood Sith
Force alignment: Dark
A Sith Lord who formerly controlled the ruins of Dromund Kaas. Killed by Darth Trocia.
Darth Mortanna, Dark Lord of the Sith:
Species: Miraluka
Force alignment: Dark
Infamous Sith Lord renowned for her ruthlessness and skill in lightsaber combat. Former master of Nyx and Darth Shaed.
Myre, Lord of the Sith:
Species: Imperial human
Force alignment: Dark
Former apprentice of Darth Shaed, former master of Brenby and Jyte, killed by Imperius possessing Skylah's body

Love all Skylah's little dialogue additions, tho I feel like a long running one rambling about Nyx that Imperius has to interrupt her on would be a good addition.

"there"?

I am far more interested in Skylah's own backstory and circumstances behind her adoption than anything else hinted at in other options.

Sod broken, Nyx's wedding dress was white instead of a very tasteful gothic black castle with frills.
That's what they call "character derailment".
Btw, Skylah not-whining at her pa'ma for being just that good with a lightsaber was a mood. An excellent mood at that.
I'm like, not trying to encroach on your artistic integrity, Gazetteer, but Nyx is seriously my favorite character in all this and I'd love to see more of her if possible. Just, that combination of casually murderous, ( okay, not murderous, more like, murder-capable ) and high-octane laidback, ( I swear this is my impression and not just me casually stringing whatever nonsense words together ) she reminds me of Darth Marr, but married and with children, with a dry and practiced wit, female, so, not like Darth Marr at all on closer inspection!
Anyway, my favorite character.

It made Arlunia happy!
I'm glad you enjoy the character! Z has articulated this quality she has the most succinctly, I think:
[10:19 PM] VagueZ: Yeah. She puts one in mind of a tightly-wound spring. It's totally tame if you don't do anything wrong around it, but, wow, that has a lot of dangerous.

I also love her, and I love her dynamic with Arlunia as well.
Maybe, if we're all good children (and we wish really really hard) maybe we could get a family outing for FE:III's adventure?

Family adventure? In Star Wars? God, I hope not. There's like a fifty percent chance someone named Lavaeolus would die, and I don't think my poor heart could take it.
Lol, I'm only like, half-joking here.
