The Name of Niman

There were three schisms in the Jedi Order. The one that is most known to us is the Second Great Schism for its happening is what ultimately created the Sith. The Dark Jedi who were cast aside by the Order, founded a new one, based on superior ideals.
The First Great Schism however did first create the Legion of Lettow, a name that stands almost solely through its creation of the name Niman. They did not create the form itself, the style itself when beneath them was one of two blades more akin to Jar’kai, the name one to represent the two gods of the Kashi Mer, a society so forgotten to history that it only serves a point here.
General Xendor, a Kashi Mer man and the founder of the Legion of Lettow was an interesting man, though a strange person, who was wrong in really just a lot of ways. He was the first one historically to ignite such a large fracture as the Great Schism. Denied the ability to learn or to teach beyond the confines of the order on Ossus or to build upon the Dark Side’s teaching, he created his own Academy on Lettow against the wishes of the Order.
For the crime of existing, for the crime of wishing to place himself above the constraints and chains of the Jedi. Together they brought war. Two ideas clashed as they often do and in the end, the Legion of Lettow fell.
But even if he died with much of his legion on Columbus, as the Republic showed its traitorous hand by refusing aid, his loyal right hand, Arden Lyn would then lead his defeated Legions for a time before eventually being slain herself.
Xendor and his Legion are from an unrefined era but they are proof of three things:
One.That Niman’s name origin comes from a questioner, a challenger, perhaps the first one of any success, of the Jedi, of their limitations, it comes from someone who was adaptable in war, who’s ultimate end was dying a warrior’s death in hand to hand combat on the field of battle.
Two. That even in death and defeat, their chosen form’s name carried on, handed on, to a new form along with their other ideas because they died in action and refused to compromise in their ambition and left a legacy of doubt in the minds of the Je’daii, one that would historically aid in the the Second Great Schism and the birth of the Sith as we know it.
Three. That Xandor’s openness to new ideas may also have been very well what caused his downfall in part. That in attempting to meld the different cultural ideas he did together, may have had a detrimental effect on his legions, skilled warriors no doubt, but in encouraging alien ideas that could not meld led to a lack of unifying principles in his ranks and in that disunity of purpose he allowed his vanguard to be cut off and him with it. This is one of the worst failings of bad Niman.
Xandor is a really interesting figure. Xandor’s legacy in a way is Niman in both its potential failures and successes. He adopted creativity, challenged himself and the false doctrine that bound him, but the tradition he built in its place accepted too many conflicting ideas and allowed itself to be weakened, along with his army.
It was unrefined or even improperly defined. There is no better word for it and it needed a core to define itself by, that would only come after it passed.
