• Devourer of the Force: Qâztharûn does not simply kill, it devours. Each strike drains Force energy from victims, weakening Jedi and Sith alike. It absorbs lingering Force energy from the slain, fueling its insatiable hunger and growing more powerful with each death. Each wound carved by Qâztharûn does more than maim the flesh, it gnaws at the victim's very presence in the Force. Those struck feel their connection flicker, wither, and, in some cases, be wholly devoured, leaving behind an emptiness where their power once resided. Force users who survive its bite often struggle to wield the Force again, their willpower shaken, their abilities muted, as if something vital has been consumed. Wounds themselves are difficult to heal especially with force abilities. (OOC Note: In a PvP setting this can only be done with the express consent of all parties involved).
• Devourer of the Soul: Qâztharûn does not simply kill, it erases. Those slain by its edge do not pass into the Force, do not become one with the Living Force, and do not move on to any afterlife. Instead, their very essence is ripped from existence, devoured by the blade's abyssal hunger. (OOC Note: In a PvP setting, the features described below can only be done with the express consent of all parties involved).
  
  • Eternal Damnation: A soul consumed by Qâztharûn is trapped in eternal suffering, their consciousness bound within its runes, their agony fueling the blade's insatiable hunger. The screams of the fallen whisper through the steel, tormenting all who are unworthy to wield it.
  • The Blade Remembers: Every mind devoured by Qâztharûn leaves behind knowledge, memories, and secrets, which Darth Prazutis can access at will. The wisdom of slain Jedi, the strategies of fallen generals, and the cursed knowledge of ancient Sith, all become tools in the Dark Lord's hands.
  • Abyssal Oblivion: Unlike other soul-consuming weapons, Qâztharûn does not merely trap spirits, it erases them from the cycle of existence. No resurrection, no reincarnation, no afterlife. Even the strongest Jedi Masters or Sith Lords cannot recover what has been lost.
  • A Weapon of Final Death: Jedi who fall to the blade cannot become Force ghosts, cannot be redeemed, and cannot pass their wisdom to their brethren. To be slain by Qâztharûn is to be cast into the abyss, forgotten by the Force itself.
  • Preys Upon the Living and the Dead: The blade does not discriminate between mortals and spirits. If an enemy attempts to manifest as a Force Ghost, Qâztharûn devours them just as easily as it does the living. Even Sith specters are not safe, what is caught by the abyss does not return.
• The Abyss Hungers: The blade whispers to Prazutis, urging him to feed it blood and suffering. If starved too long, it becomes restless, its runes pulsing hungrily, demanding slaughter. Thrives on emotions, rage, pain, terror, growing stronger when battle rages around it.
• A Wound in Reality: Those wounded by Qâztharûn do not merely bleed; they are marked by the abyss. Force wielders who survive its strike feel their connection to the Force falter, as though a wound in reality was carved into them. Even non-Force Sensitives experience its horror, suffering overwhelming despair as the blade drinks their very essence.
• Abyssal Ward: Resists Force Light and Jedi Purification, requiring sustained, immense effort to even dull its dark presence. Counters Jedi exorcisms and severance attempts, making it nearly impossible to 'cleanse' its darkness. Reflects weaker Light Side abilities, bending their energy into raw fuel for its own might.
• Wielded by One: Bound to the Dark Lord. Only Darth Prazutis can wield Qâztharûn. Any other attempting to hold it will suffer mind-shattering agony, their very soul assaulted by the abyss. The blade cannot be lost, always returning to Prazutis when called.

• The Final Runeblade: No Sith blade before or after matches Qâztharûn's might, it is the peak of Sith metallurgy, alchemy, and sorcery. Its destructive power allows it to cut through virtually anything.
• A Jedi's Worst Nightmare: Devours the Force, weakens Light Side abilities, and resists purification. Wounds left by it fester, severing Force wielders from their power. A true nightmare to wielders of the Force.
• An Extension of Prazutis' Will: Acts as a conduit for Sith Sorcery, amplifying spells, curses, and battlefield invocations. Can project raw Dark Side energy, striking at enemies beyond its physical reach.
• Severer of Hope: Those cut by Qâztharûn experience more than physical pain, they feel their courage wither, their will erode, and their minds fracture.
• Extremely Resilient Abyssal Steel: Forged from Zîrkaris, the blade is nearly unbreakable, it is extremely resistant to being broken, it cannot be bent, or dulled, it endures for eternity.

• A Beacon of the Abyss: Impossible to conceal; its darkness burns in the Force like a dying star. Jedi, Seers, and Sith alike can sense its presence across great distances.
• Bound in Blood: Qâztharûn must kill. If left dormant for too long, it grows restless, whispering hunger into Prazutis' mind, demanding slaughter.
• A Weapon of the Worthy: Too large, too heavy, and too steeped in the Dark Side for any but Prazutis to wield. If separated from him for too long, it weakens until called back.
• While it Resists Force Light, it is Not Invulnerable: A massive, prolonged purification ritual (such as an assembly of Jedi Masters focusing in unison) could temporarily weaken its power.
• The Restless Abyss: The souls trapped within the blade can stir violently under certain circumstances, causing unpredictable whispers, visions, or outbursts of power. While Prazutis dominates the blade, even he must exert control over its ever-growing hunger.
• Force Nullification: Even the abyss has its silence. In the presence of Ysalamiri or Voidstone, Qâztharûn's voice dims. Its hunger quiets, its runes fall still. The weapon becomes little more than a deathly sharp, impossibly durable sword, its soul-consuming might caged, though never destroyed.

"There is no afterlife. No salvation. Only the abyss, waiting to claim you."

Qâztharûn was not merely forged, it was willed into existence through agony, domination, and the unraveling of mortal and metaphysical limits. Deep within the lightless crucibles of Malsheem, the mobile throne-world of the Sith Dyarchy, Darth Prazutis began a long-buried ritual of ascendant Sith alchemy, one that would render Daesumnor obsolete and give birth to something transcendent. A blade not of this world, but of the abyss itself.

The forging of Qâztharûn required a sacrifice of legend. The remnants of Daesumnor, his former blade, were shattered within an alchemical void-furnace, a device capable of warping time and space around a ritual focus. Into this infernal cauldron, he fed not just materials, but souls, the essence of hundreds of Jedi prisoners culled from campaigns across the galaxy. Their suffering was not instantaneous, but prolonged, ritualized. Each death carved a rune into the weapon's frame, and each scream was sealed into the Blackstone bones of the hilt.

Zîrkaris was reforged in this pain, a metal of such darkness it rejected the Light at a molecular level. To bind it into a living state, Prazutis slit open the Veil between life and death, siphoning essence from the Netherworld itself. In doing so, he woke something ancient, a shard of oblivion given form, drawn to the weapon like a predator to blood. This shard was woven into the Voidshards that would form the blade's core, ensuring it was not merely forged but possessed.

The ritual took years, conducted in isolation, hidden from all. Prazutis worked with zealotry, guided by prophecy and visions brought to him through Karanazat, his cursed amulet. At the ritual's climax, he entered the blade himself, not physically, but spiritually, branding his will into every inch of Qâztharûn. Its power is his, and his alone. His voice is the only one it obeys. When the weapon was first drawn upon a battlefield, it did not just kill. It unmade.

Entire battalions collapsed under waves of despair. Jedi Masters screamed as their connections to the Force were torn away mid-strike. Even Sith Lords who beheld the blade felt their power shrink in comparison, as if Qâztharûn mocked their pretensions of mastery. Its name is forbidden in some Force traditions. To speak it aloud is to invite the Void's attention.

Today, Qâztharûn is not simply a tool of war, it is a talisman of fear, a legend whispered in the darkest corners of the galaxy, the scythe of a living reaper. Cults have formed around it. Some believe it is sentient. Others believe it is a sliver of the Dark Side itself, shaped into a killing edge. And a few, only a few, believe it was always meant to exist, and that Darth Prazutis did not create the blade, but rather released it.

"This was never my weapon. I was merely the one who survived it." - Darth Prazutis, speaking to the Crownguard before wielding Qâztharûn for the first time.
