Inumbrare in aeternum
Intent: Plot hook for high ranking Sith and Raien to use in their roleplaying.
Development Thread: Offsite History
Its beginning , there are many such threads as this, this one gives a good idea of the overall beginning arc.
Manufacturer: Raien Keth / Sphere
Model: N/A
Affiliation: The One Sith / Raien Keth
Modularity: N/A
Production: Semi Unique. A half dozen coins left in circulation randomly distributed or in collections, with six more in Raien’s possession.
Material: Golden Fragments of this
Description: A few pieces of an old Sith sphere, shattered into remains, then cut into coins, each bearing an old dead language of runes. The metal coin has lost the will of the original ship, but still retains a subtle darkside connection. Able to slightly alter the tone of a place, corrupting those handling it very slowly over time. The average time it would take to notice the corruption would be a week, for it to really effect someone it might take a month or more. Contact would encourage it, but being in the same room nearby would be enough. It has none of the strength or power of the original ship, no grand ability to manipulate those around it, or communicate beyond vague impressions. Force users can sense the presence of the darkside in the coin reasonably easily, but constant exposure over a period of time will have an effect on their own force connection, slowly and gradually doubting what they sense from the metal.
Sphere as it was known, was found on Thyrsus, it had a direct and vested interest in rebuilding the sun guard, and fostering old Sith ideals. It saw Raien Keth as a young warrior wanting to bring his people, the Echani, out of their period of obscurity, and give them a homeworld on Thyrsus to be proud of. Latching onto this, sphere manipulated him away from the Dark Jedi cults covert actions and toward direct Sith ideals over a period of about a decade.
Finally at the apex of its victory it was shattered on the orders of the then Sith council, fearing it a threat, Raien acted before they could, creating coins out of the sphere, to seed throughout the galaxy for his own ends. Now hundreds of years later, only a few coins remain in collections, but they still carry the trace of history, and a darkside past in their metal.
Use: Plot hook to use in dominions for corruption on a different level, a way of darkening an area or a character temporarily for character or location development. Another example of another writer and I playing it out for flavor. A fun relic to keep in your Sith's trophy collection, tomb or vault. It will eventually be a link for Raien and others to a currently unknown species submission I will submit at a later date.
