- Relays a vision of the wearer's death to a distant holocron.
- Relays roughly one minute of vision (the time leading up to the wearer's death).
- Sends the vision to a previously chosen/attuned holocron regardless of distance.
- An extremely useful memento mori.
- Not functional in ysalamir fields.
- Captures sight and sound, but not feelings or thoughts.
- The Dark Side clouds everything - in this case, literally. If the Jedi died at the hands of a Sith, the vision can be blurry, and voices and sounds distorted.
"Nobody can kill a Jedi."
"I wish that were so."
"I wish that were so."
Jend-Ro Quill and various Jedi associates developed the Testament Pendants as a way to learn how other Jedi have died. The Jedi can then mourn and honour their fallen friends, understand the threats that killed them, learn any final lessons, and pass on any last words. Quill made the Testament Pendants to reckon with the true risks and impacts of these dark times - reckon with them, and salve them on occasion.
The pendants have a grimmer implication. If a threat has killed multiple Jedi who wore Testament Pendants, the Jedi can learn what their friends did wrong and prepare themselves appropriately.
A pendant will automatically attune to any holocron with which it stays in contact overnight. That holocron will receive the vision if that pendant sends one.
