Lightsabre of Ulic Qel-Droma

Book of Shadows

Written by Ulic Qel-Droma, it is a source of wisdom and counsel during dire times. Donated by the first Consul of Clan Arcona, Nighthawk Ciarus Arconae.

Dark Orb Crystal

A sphere of dark smoke quartz, primary function is as a communication device, where it channels Force telepathy across the entire planet. It was later discovered that a Light Jedi could use it to absorb the power of the Dark Side of the Force, leading a few to speculate that this is actually a captured weapon of the Jedi Order.

The Altar of R`cayne

Among the heaviest items recovered from K'hamar'a, this secondary altar is a granite cube. All four sides are inlaid with primitive but powerful carvings. On the top, this altar has a square opening into which blood of a sacrifice can drain. It empowers those who made a sacrifice of their own blood on it with the ability to use Force Powers as if they were one rank higher (under the optional character creation system, they gain access to any two additional Force powers they would currently qualify for) while they are within 150 feet of the altar. This sacrifice needs to be made at midnight of a perfectly overcast night and renewed every year to keep its benefit.

The Ring of H`tamen

Made of a bronze alloy and forged into a simple, only slightly ornated single band, this ring's most prominent feature is a sapphire so dark it only shows a trace of blue and will appear black in all but the brightest lights. Yet, the gem is flawless and reflects perfectly. The ring allows its wearer to gain further insight into the Force, gaining two Force powers chosen from up to three ranks higher than normal. However, the ring puts so much stress on its wearer, that he or she loses the highest Force power normally available to him/her while wearing it and for three days after removing the ring. Once chosen, the Force powers gained can only be changed once the user of the ring learns the power normally.

The Staff of T`lamas

Carved of the bones on K'hamar'an animals long extinct, this staff is topped by the skull of a bird at whose natural shape we can only guess. It is dark grey and surrounded by a strong, but only slightly dark, force. Any Jedi (light or dark) can use the staff to refresh him- or herself, however a light Jedi will afterwards be slightly tempted towards the dark side and will need a conscious effort to stay pure. To use the staff, a Jedi must carry it on his or her person. If later running out of stamina or being drained of the Force, the staff can be held to regenerate the user to exactly the freshness he or she had when he/she first picked it up while draining itself down to the previous state of the user. This process takes approximately five minutes of concentration and cannot be used in mid-combat. The staff recharges itself if left untouched by a living being for a full day.

The Bridge

This book is unique in that it has been created completely on black material. Not only is the cover pitch black, made of carved and decorated wood, but so is every single page. The text is printed in white with a small amount of yellow and green ornation. It covers techniques for contacting the spirits of the deceased and how to talk to the dead. After studying the book (2 weeks) in original or copy, any Dark Jedi possessing the Receptive and Projective Telepathy powers can use them to telepathically talk to a deceased Dark Jedi (of at least DJK status) for guidance. In addition, he or she can then peruse the original to gain access to the Transfer Force ability:

Life Energy

This is less a book than it is a collection of loose pages, each page having been written by hand on the dried and conserved leaf of a tree species found on K'hamar'a. While surprisingly sturdy for dried leaves, the pages are still very brittle and the original must be handled with care in order not to lose its power. The writing on the green and brown sheets is partially in black, partially in white with cut out areas having been used to enhance illustrations. The text, mostly in prose but interspersed with a number of cryptic verses, covers the aspects of light and darkness in an individual and how to consume one while strengthening the other. A Dark Jedi needs to spend four weeks to study a copy of this work after which he can use Accelerate Healing, Detoxify Poison and Control Disease at double effectiveness (on himself only). By perusing the original, he gains access to the Conduit power:

Memories of the Force

In spite of its awesome power, this book's outward appearance is not as awe-inspiring. Its 169 leather pages are written by hand in very narrow lettering, using red ink. The book details the last days of K'hamar'a in sometimes gruesome prose and culminates in the detailed descriptions of the rituals that led the K'hamar'ans to extinguishing the light on their planet and to walk the paths to a higher existence, becoming one with Darkness. The last four pages are blank, never having been written upon. The book, even after having been carefully restored, still suffers from barely legible passages and ash stains obscuring some of the diagrams. While most of it is written in meticulous calligraphy, the last dozen filled pages show a gradual decline in writing quality, showing that they were created in an ever-increasing hurry. A Dark Jedi completing this work over a period of two full months becomes one with the Force, ensuring he will be able to leave his body and live on as a spirit whenever he chooses so (or when forced to do so). Additionally, when persuing the original, they gain access to the Force Harmony power.

Serpentine Throne

This artifact was bestowed upon us by the Dark Council following our defeat in a Clan Feud against Clan Satal Keto. The throne itself is a true marvel of artistry, standing a full four meters tall from the crest of the high back, to each stout foot. Forged from carefully interwoven cast silver and wrought iron to give it a contrasting light/dark look, it is shaped like a pair of coiled serpents, each one moving and twisting around the other. Their grim visages form the arms. Finally, the end portion of their tales reach up to the top of the throne, where they curl around a large piece of obsidian, carefully carved into the shape of the Great Seal of the Brotherhood. The artifact itself will only work for the Consul of Clan Arcona, and when he or she sits in this ornate throne, they are connected in part to the minds of every Arconan. They may communicate telepathically across any distance with their Arconans, and even discern their emotions, moods and intentions if they should be in the Dajorra system.

Abyssal Tome

An ancient tome that has been passed down by various recent Consuls, this thick leather-bound book contains the secrets of Shadowcrafting, a power exclusively held by Clan Arcona. The tome itself cuts an imposing figure, its ornate cover depicting a field of space with a curious looking pair of suns across it. The real meat of this tome, however, lies in the rituals and secrets contained within.

Banner of Shadow

A banner awarded for taking fifth place in the second Independence Games. It is hung on the roof above the Serpentine Throne, where it exudes its powers. The Banner protects everyone nearby from being blinded by the Force, and in a more subtle manner, from your own beliefs.
