The Tomb of Souls and An Old Friend

With House Zoiji now founded and a new helm forged for him, Orono embarked on a solo expedition into the Netherworld of the Force. It was on this journey that he discovered a long lost realm: the Tomb of Souls. Inside he found thousands of stone graves, marked with names new and old and an ancient machine built for their resurrection. One grave bore a name that harkened back to Orono's original lifetime: Darkfeir Lifetaker. It was after reading this name that he decided to resurrect all of the Republic's honored dead to fight in one last war. However Orono encountered a complication when attempting to leave the Tomb. The souls would be drawn back to their graves if they attempted to leave. To correct this, he gave each of them a Tether of Memory, one binding reason for returning to the physical world once more. Upon reaching Darkfeir's  grave, he was exactly as Orono remembered him: an aged but strong man clad in black robes with dark blue hair and a lightsaber with a dark violet blade. He rejoiced that he would be able to fight with an old friend one last time...
