Fifth Dynasty
The Fifth Dynasty of the Force Academy was founded by Kissed by Shiva.
Richard Francis Irvine writes about the fifth dynasty (2009): “The fifth dynasty was an age of discipline and rediscovery. While he had been dismissed by some within previous councils as a mere pleasure seeker, in seizing leadership and instilling an atmosphere of respect and order, the new head of the council showed well those martial values which he sought to bring to the foreground. For him, the training space was to be considered sacred ground, and the academy treated as though it were a dojo. A student not only of the master of the fourth dynasty, but also of the ways of the first dynasty, he opened the scrolls of earlier knowledge, and encouraged people to study with teachers soaked in the older visions. In doing so, some suggested that he had lost control, and become a mere pawn of external powers - but perhaps they feared losing influence themselves. The age of silence, which had begun years before, was becoming obvious, and the population of the halls was, by now, waning significantly. Perhaps growing bored, perhaps in the hope of awakening the halls to new life, the master of the fifth dynasty sought to transfer power to two members of his council, one of whom was a notable student of the ways of the first dynasty. Yet he had not reckoned on earlier holders of power seizing control of the lecture hall, and preventing the establishment of the new council. His chosen appointees found themselves unable to fight their corner, and conceded defeat. As a consequence, no new dynasty has emerged. Perhaps there was insufficient energy within the community to begin a new era. The age of silence had extinguished the flame of the dark council. So began the interregnum.""
