Description: The Pendant of Aay'han was constructed by Alicia Drey at some point after [member="Isley Verd"] became Mand'alor the Reclaimer. It was constructed as a gift for Mand'alor as a gesture of thanks for letting it's creator join the ranks of his Mando'ade, as he sought to build the Mandalorian Empire at Echoy'la. Before Isley Verd became Mand'alor, the Black Tie Syndicate conducted their own signature raid for rare items, this time Mandalorian Iron, which coincidentally happened on same planet that he would later ascend as the leader of his Mando'ade. As a member of that raid, Alicia took her own share of the Mandalorian Iron that was taken, and months later, use it to construct this pendant.
Aay'han translated from Mando'a to Galactic Basic Standard reads as: bittersweet perfect moment of mourning and joy / remembering and celebrating. There are many interpretations that could made of this. Perhaps Alicia wanted Isley to remember the moment he became Mand'alor the Reclaimer. Maybe it was so he could always remember the early Mando'ade he recruited into his ranks, such as Alicia and the others who first followed him. Perhaps it would be to remember something significant at a later point. Alas, the pendant is small- just big enough to fill the palm of a Human hand- and has a chain large enough to fit around the neck, where it would hang from.
Ingrained in the center rests a single crystal, which is dark in colour. The crystal has no real attributes or gives the user any abilities, until the pendant and it are destroyed, at which point the dormant dark side energy within is unleashed, consuming the wearer so as to lure them to the dark side of the Force. Given that it is ultimately the choice of any Force-user to fully embrace the dark side, and that Mandalorian Iron is incredibly difficult to break or destroy, this trap will lay dormant until it is one day unleashed by the one aware of it, resulting in the wearer of the pendant unaware of it until it has been set off.
There is an indent / grove at the bottom of the pendant, suggesting that it could be fitted into another device, acting like a key. This is because Alicia intends to create more pieces, with this pendant acting much like a piece of a puzzle, whilst retaining it's other qualities and reasoning for creation.
