Model: Material
Affiliation: Lords of Shadow
Modularity: No
Production: Minor
Material: Water, darkside energy
Description: Created and refined on the hellish world of Val'ryss, Aza'zoth taints everything on its surface and has seeped deeply into the water supply. Making it a thick silvery ooze that can be refined. It powers the heart of the ancient forge in the world and cools the metals worked there setting into them a deep corruption that matches its master. It can be used for other purposes such a sustenance and has the same effect as a darkside nexus. It sickens lightsiders and can influence others if they are not strong of will. The substance only appears on one world in the galaxy and only is known to the Red Empress as well as the one who works the forge.
EFFECTS ON LIGHTSIDERS: The effects are sickening nearly vomit inducing due to the powerful taint. Their bodies try to resist it much like a wound in the force or a corrupted object. Early symptoms include light headedness, ringing in ones hears. Prolonged effects include vomiting, migraine and dehydration. Ingestion of fluid can lead to a lose of inhibition, increased ardor, swelling of the pituitary gland, increased aggressive tendencies, dry mouth and constipation.
DRAWBACKS: The water only comes from Aza'zoth and can be purified by a strong lightsider. It is easily identified by its silvery color and ichorious syrupy viscosity. The effects of exposure are temporary with it lasting from a few moments to hours depending on how much is in or on a person, it is unnaturally warm to the touch and pulses heavily with the unmistakable aura of the darkside. The further it gets from the planet the less potent it will eventually become.
HOW IT CAME TO BE: The ancient world of Aza'zoth held the evil of the Lords of Shadows and as their powers over the darkside on the world came to sway it. The darkness seeped into the soil. Slowly over time it seeped up into the water and began to poison it. To twist it and warp it until it was a product of the planets corruption. The abandonment of the world and the power residing there allowed it to remain untouched and concentrated until it seemed to boil with steam. The dark emotions, the chaotic nature of the force on the world are said to have varying effects on other sentient but the water isn't alive. It just holds the corruption of the ancient world Val'ryss rediscovered.
