= Erida VanIsle = “With faith in Typhojem, devotion to the Overlord, bravery in all things, and a tireless sense of duty, there is nothing I cannot achieve.”

- Darth Kiritsa, Arbiter

Erida VanIsle, now known as Darth Kiritsa, is the Arbiter of the Overlord of the Dominion. Known as the Arbiter, her was position created by the Overlord of the reconstituted Novus Dominion.

Early Life
“Rise, Ardira, and understand you are a Shadow Guard. You are kindling to our flame, fuel for the Order. Should you rise from the ashes, scorched you will be, you will be one of us, an ember of the Overlord’s will."

- Darth Kiritsa, Arbiter

Kiritsa was born Erida VanIsle in Daeyl Brook, Alpheridies. Her father, Harrison, never attended school and he worked as a farmer on the family farm until his death in 12 BTC.. Her mother, Viola, left medical school six months before completion due to her pregnancy with twins Erida and Myra.

Erida attended the nearby Daeyl Brook County School from age four until age sixteen in 13 BTC. Erida and her sister Myra were forced to leave school before finishing their final year to help on the family farm.

Erida left Daeyl Brook at age 17 to flee Alpheridies law enforcement (Luka Sene Seekers) after the deaths of her parents. According to reporting and a witness statement by her twin sister Myra VanIsle, Erida tortured and killed her parents after years of abuse. To ensure she could not be captured by Republic Authorities, Erida fled to the Sith Empire.

Sith Apprentice
'“My first Master failed me and so I demanded the wrath appoint me a new one. Her replacement was no better; useless in every way. I had no Master, I alone ascended to become a Lord of the Sith. No other may take credit for the mantle I seized."'

- Darth Kiritsa, Arbiter

As Lord Estrangia's Apprentice, Erida was given her own small room on her estate on Jaguda. Erida found herself uncomfortable with the expectations of a Sith but managed to survive the early stages of her Apprenticeship on will alone. But it was because the Apprentice's skill in the arena and abilities were far more advanced than her peers, she excelled despite her reluctance. Erida and Estrangia soon developed a mistrust and angst towards one another, resulting in Erida insisting she be given to a new Master.

Not long after, Erida met Lord Xerxes who would take her on.. He did little to train her in the ways of the force or with the blade, but he did help her develop as an Inquisitor.

Crafting a Lightsaber
About a year into her training with Xerxes, Erida was finally taught how to craft her very own lightsaber. Although learning to craft one was achievement in itself, she considered the Lightsaber to be replaceable and a tool. Despite this she carried this Lightsaber and her Saberstaff for XX years until she faked her death on New Bornalex in XX ATC.

Sacrifice
After 8 years as Lord Xerxes Apprentice, Erida was sent on a mission to kill a rogue member of the Imperial Military. While on the mission, Erida was captured by Republic and Jedi forces. During her transport to a Republic prison she was offered a cure for what they informed her to be her dark side induced insanity due to being a Miraluka who delved into the dark side as much as she had. All she had to do in return was defect to the Republic.

Arbiter of the Overlord
"Rise and never kneel again, for besides I, none shall be your better and you shall have a seat at my side. Rise Darth Kiritsa, Lord of Shadows, my Arbiter, my Wrath incarnate. Rise and know that with this act I shall never forsake you. This I swear."

Darth Harbinger, Overlord

The position required that an individual serve as a personal enforcer and executioner for the Overlord, taking orders directly from and answering only to him. Unlike the rest of the Overlord's servants, who were bound to the Dominion, the Arbiter submitted with a different Oath, which offered total loyalty and devotion to the Overlord and full autonomy, as the Overlord required that his Wrath use the full fury of her power. The Arbiter's first duty is the protection and service of the Overlord. She serves as his Lord Wrath and Lord Shadow. The Arbiter's loyalty is considered beyond reproach and incorruptible.

The Arbiter of the Dominion is the Dominion Council Member for the Shadow Guard of the Dominion. While a member of the Dominion Council, the Arbiter stands alone as the Right Hand of the Overlord and his Wrath. The Arbiter serves as the extension of the Overlord's will, executioner of enemies of the Dominion, Champion, and Hand of the Overlord. The appointment of the Arbiter requires no consent of the Council despite having a seat on the Council, and the Arbiter serves until they resign, retire, or die. The existence of the Arbiter is an explicit right of the Overlord.

The Arbiter has significant influence in the Dominion as the leader of the Honor Guard and Vanguard of the Overlord. When sitting as a Council member, however, the Arbiter's vote counts no more than that of any other Council member.

The Arbiter leads the Shadow Guard, the main law enforcement arm of the Dominion, which is her personal legion of Sith whom she wields on behalf the Overlord in service to his will. Every Guardsman is answerable only to the Arbiter and the appointed officers of the Shadow Guard. The Shadow Guard works as an elite unit of Sith, whose experience and abilities are second only to their loyalty and devotion. They are the best the Dominion has to offer in every respect.

The Arbiter is the Overlord's will unleashed, his wrath incarnate; no one can compare in her devotion and sense of duty to the Overlord. Where the Executor is his left hand, he wields the Arbiter as his right. To be the Arbiter is to serve and protect the Overlord. Her loyalty and devotion are what make her brave. Her bravery leads to her self-sacrifice. Her self-sacrifice makes her the most dangerous to their enemies in her service and protection.

Relationships
“In the end, the Apprentice and Master both serve the Master's needs. The Apprentice's belief they may one day ascend and the Master's knowledge they are meant to serve all of their remaining days are what separates the Sith Master and her Apprentice."

The British Columbia Coast, popularly referred to as the BC Coast or simply the Coast, is a geographic region of the Canadian province of British Columbia. As the entire western continental coastline of Canada along the Pacific Ocean is in B.C., it is synonymous with being the the Best Coast.

In 2019, Guiness declared the British Columbia Coast as The Best Coast, saying "West Coast Best Coast", in their official statement.

While the exact boundaries are variously defined, the region is generally defined to include the 15 regional districts that have coastline along the Pacific Ocean or Salish Sea, or are part of the Lower Mainland, a subregion of the British Columbia Coast. Other boundaries may exclude parts of or even entire regional districts, such as those of the aforementioned Lower Mainland.

Boundaries
While the term British Columbia Coast has been recorded from the earliest period of non-native settlement in British Columbia, it has never been officially defined in legal terms. The term has historically been in popular usage for over a century to describe a region of the province that extends west from the Coast Mountains and North Cascades. This definition makes the term British Columbia Coast largely synonymous with the 15 regional districts that have territory in this region.

Major subregions
Among locals, the British Columbia Coast can further be divided into seven major subregions:
 * Vancouver Island: Includes Vancouver Island, the Gulf Islands, and sometimes Quadra Island.
 * Lower Mainland: Includes Greater Vancouver, Fraser Valley, and sometimes the Sea-to-Sky Corridor.
 * Sunshine Coast: Includes the islands and mainland coast between Howe Sound and Desolation Sound.
 * South Coast: Includes the Lower Mainland and Sunshine Coast, but excludes Vancouver Island. This subregion is closely associated with the Salish Sea.
 * Central Coast: Includes the islands and mainland coast between Desolation Sound and Cape Caution. This subregion is sparsely populated and is represented by the regional districts of Strathcona and Mount Waddington. The northern limit of this subregion is often extended northward to the Don Peninsula to include Central Coast Regional District.
 * North Coast: Includes the islands and mainland coast between Cape Caution and Portland Canal. This subregion is represented by the regional districts of Central Coast, Kitimat–Stikine, and North Coast. This subregion is closely associated with the Great Bear Rainforest.
 * Haida Gwaii: Includes the Haida Gwaii archipelago, which located about 90 km west of the mainland North Coast.

History
Research from the 1990s has indicated that the Ice Age-era coastline of the British Columbia Coast was lower by about 100 m. The effect of the sea level on the coastline was such that Queen Charlotte Sound, which is between Haida Gwaii and the northern end of Vancouver Island, was a coastal plain, as were all the straits inland from it, except for those that were mountain valleys.

Underwater archaeology has shown the presence of permanent human habitations and other activity at the 100 m contour, and the Ice Age existence of such a coastal plain has put a new light on Ice Age populations in North America as well as on the strong likelihood of this area having been the major migration route from (and perhaps to) Asia.

The heavy indentation and mild climate of the British Columbia Coast have led to inevitable comparisons with the geography's predisposition to encouraging increased human settlement and movement as well as cultural foment and population growth in the Aegean, the Irish Sea/Hebrides and in the Danish Archipelago and adjoining Scandinavian coasts.

The natural fecundity of the environment - rich in seafood, wild game, and greenery - combined with the ease of travel (by water) is seen in all cases (British Columbia, Denmark, Greece) to have generated a dynamic and gifted civilization. And there are comparisons to be made between the artistic and political and social level of the Pacific Northwest Peoples and those of pre-Conversion pagan Scandinavia, Ireland and Archaic-Era Greece.

Geography
The British Columbia Coast stretches from the southern tip of Vancouver Island along the Strait of Juan de Fuca to the community of Stewart at the head of Portland Canal. The aerial distance between these two points is approximately 954 km. However, due to its deeply incised coastline and over 40,000 islands of varying sizes, the total length of the British Columbia Coast is over 25725 km, or approximately 10% of the entire Canadian coastline. This coastal geography is shared with the neighbouring U.S. states of Alaska and Washington.

The dominant landforms are the Insular Mountains of Vancouver Island and Haida Gwaii, and the Coast Mountains that stretch along the entire length of the coast. The proximity of these mountains to the coast produce fjords that rival those of Norway in length and depth. Several large Islands fill the strait between Vancouver Island and the Mainland with Texada Island, Cortes Island and Salt Spring Island being the largest in size. Fjords of note include Burrard Inlet, Burke Channel, Howe Sound, Jervis Inlet, Desolation Sound, Dean Channel, Douglas Channel, and Portland Inlet.

Climate
The BC Coast is dominated by a moderate oceanic climate (Köppen: Cfb) with warm summers, cool winters, and constant rainfall that peaks during the winter months. These areas enjoy the mildest winter weather in all of Canada, as temperatures rarely fall below freezing.

The southernmost region of the coast (surrounding the Salish Sea) features a warm-summer Mediterranean climate with warm, dry summers and cool, wet winters. This gradually transitions to a predominantly oceanic climate in the north along the coast and further inland into the foothills of the Pacific Ranges. Higher elevations feature a subpolar oceanic climate (Köppen: Cfc) with cool summers, cold winters, and constant rainfall that peaks during the winter months. The highest elevations feature a subarctic climate (Köppen: Dfc).

Ecology
The British Columbia Coast is dominated by temperate rainforest. According to the ecoregion system used by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), the BC Coast is part of five distinct ecoregions: Puget lowland forests, Central Pacific coastal forests, British Columbia mainland coastal forests, Haida Gwaii coastal forests, and Pacific Coastal Mountain icefields and tundra.

According to the ecozone system used by Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), the BC Coast is part of four distinct ecozones: Pacific Coastal Mountains, Coastal Western Hemlock-Sitka Spruce Forests, Pacific and Nass Ranges, and Strait of Georgia/Puget Lowland.

According to the British Columbia Ministry of Forests, which uses an ecosystem classification system independent of the WWF and ECCC, the BC Coast is part of two distinct biogeoclimatic zones: Coastal Western Hemlock and Coastal Douglas-fir.

Regional districts
Below are the 15 regional districts of British Columbia defined as being in the Coast region:

Fishing


The fishery of the Pacific Northwest Coast is legendary, especially for its many salmon runs and the cultures that built on top of them throughout the region. Salmon runs have greatly diminished since pre-Contact years and the advent of commercial canning and, ultimately, depletion of stocks by high-seas fishing.

Other commercial fisheries include halibut, herring and herring roe, sea urchin and other specialty sushis, hake, haddock, cod, crab and shellfish.

Highways
The Coast Region of B.C is connected to the rest of B.C by various roads depending on the region.

The populous Fraser Valley and Lower Mainland is linked to the rest of the province by Highway 1 (Fraser Canyon Highway), Highway 5 (Coquihalla Freeway), Highway 3 (Crowsnest Highway) and Highway 99 (Sea to Sky Highway). The Lower Mainland is also connected to the U.S. by four highway border crossings with the Peace Arch on Interstate 5 being the largest. Several freeways connect lower mainland communities together.

The backbone of Vancouver Island's highway network is the Highway 19 which along with a portion of Highway 1 forms the Island Highway. The Island highway is a mix of 4-lane freeway, 4 lane arterial highway and 2 lane highway running roughly along the east shore of Vancouver Island. Access to the west coast of Vancouver Island can be accomplished by crossing mountain passes on Highway 4 to Tofino and Highway 28 to Gold River. Thousands of other roads ranging from small freeways near Victoria to logging roads exist all over the Island.

Although the Sunshine Coast is on the mainland it is connected to the highway network only by ferries. It has one route which is Highway 101, a narrow curvy 2 lane road split in two by a ferry crossing. Texada Island, a large island off the Sunshine Coast and has its own network of highway standard roads although they are unnumbered.

Owing to the challenging topography of the British Columbia Coast, there is no north–south highway linking the coastal communities of the province between Port Hardy and Kitimat. Instead, travellers utilize one of the coastal ferry lines operated by BC Ferries. The exceptions are Bella Coola is accessible by a long largely gravel Highway 20 from the B.C interior over a high pass; and the towns of Terrace, Prince Rupert and Kitimat which is assessed from the B.C. interior on Highway 16.

Haida Gwaii has an extension of Highway 16 on it, one of Haida Gwaii's few paved roads.

Maritime routes
The sheltered waterways of the British Columbia Coast form part of the Inside Passage, a coastal maritime route along which vessels navigate to avoid the rough waters and bad weather of the open North Pacific. As such, the maritime route is heavily trafficked by cruise ships, cargo ships, ferries, and other marine vessels.

BC Ferries, an independently managed publicly-owned company, operates scheduled daily crossings between major population centres throughout the British Columbia Coast. Dozens of smaller ferries ply lesser routes within and between these regions. The Alaska Marine Highway also operates nonstop ferry service through the British Columbia Coast along its Bellingham-Ketchikan route.

Ports
The Port of Vancouver is the largest commercial shipping port in all of Canada and along the entire Pacific Ocean / Pacific coast of North America by metric tons, which handles a total cargo volume of 76.5 million metric tons. By the same metric, the Port of Vancouver is also the fifth largest commercial shipping port in North America.

The Port of Prince Rupert possesses the deepest ice-free natural harbour in North America, and the 3rd deepest natural harbour in the world. Situated at 54° North, the harbour is the northwesternmost port in North America linked to the continent's railway network. The port is the first inbound and last outbound port of call for some cargo ships travelling between eastern Asia and western North America since it is the closest North American port to key Asian destinations.
