- Destination: To the Netherworld of the Force and specifically the prison realm of the Nocna Mora

- Description:
"The Eye was rimmed with fire, but was itself glazed, yellow as a cat's, watchful and intent, and the black slit of it's pupil opened on a pit, a window into nothing."
- Unnamed Dark Side Spirit, Upon the Eye being created
Saud'Akute is a flaming eye roughly 50 meters tall and that arcs palpable Dark Side energy fully between the two fang-like protrusions at the pinnacle of the tower beneath it. The harnessed, blazing energy of the Netherworld glowering through into reality in a swirling miasma of Dark Side energy. A seemingly endless pit of void and nothing shimmering like polished obsidian in the center of that everlasting inferno. Casting out fel, corrupting light from it's ember-spewing center as it's sparking, crackling energy travels down into the tower created for the sole purpose of it's containment.
RIFT EFFECTS
Due to the Flaming Eye being harnessed by the tower that holds it, it produces no extraneous effects upon the environment. However, should the tower become damaged the energies of the eye will become destabilized and begin to spew forth torrential gouts of infernal energy. Scoring the earth, roiling the skies, and allowing other eldritch things to spill forth from the Netherworld as it's connection the realm of the Nocna Mora is distorted. Should the tower supporting it ever be destroyed, Saud'Akute will erupt in an earth-shattering explosion fit to level a continent.
POINTS OF INTEREST
- The Tower of Saud'Akute that holds it
- The Shaper's Sanctum that it fuels in the depths of his palace
- Mount Naefas, that it sits as a flaming crown upon
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
With the completion of the Tower of Saud'Akute The Shaper set to work penetrating the veil between the galaxy and the Netherworld of the Force. Having felt the gateway to the realm the Nocna Mora were banished to on Dantooine the New Emperor has long been intent on harnessing that unflappable power for his own devices. It was only with the Eye's complete stabilization use as a conduit of nigh limitless power that he was satisfied. Shackled, restrained and kept firmly under control he was committed fully to the cause of binding the Realm of the Devourers. No more would their tread on mortal ground be feared, it would be harnessed, no more would their flames be allowed to lap at the souls and flesh of those loyal to the Empire, it would be contained, and through the deepest, burning darkness The Shaper has created an instrument of sight, control and intimidation fit to scry a large area of the galaxy itself.
