Sith
Artifacts
back
The Sith constructed powerful objects to serve certain purposes such as talismans, daggers, swords and statues. Here is a short list of some common artifacts.
Concentration Talisman
Sith used these to focus their energy during long, intricate rites (those typically associated with harnessing vast amounts of Dark Side power). These devices have a major flaw. When at the completion of the task, the user of such a talisman succumbed to exhaustion. This prevented the use of these trinkets in battles.
Ensnarement Talisman
These devices are sinister, indeed! Working like a concentration talisman, they have the added ability to turn the wielder immediately to the Dark Side. This was added to many Sith artifacts to prevent Jedi from using them without paying a price.
Healing Talisman
Many Sith disciples created talismans of healing to give their forces superiority in combat encounters. The devices endow the holder with the same benefits as the Jedi power Accelerate Healing.
Force Mask
Using the Force sends ripple-waves throughout the galaxy, alerting anyone attuned to the Force (of course there is a question of proximity and how powerful the force-user is). The Sith learned techniques that could mask this natural occurrence, and created their Force Masks to cancel out the natural "waves" made when using the Force.
Shield Talisman
One of the first Dark Side devices discovered and studied by the Jedi. This talisman protects its wearer from energy and Force attacks. To sustain its ability to function, this device requires a refueling of energy approximately once a week.
Translation Talisman
The ancient Sith tomes, describing Sith history and disciplines, are written in the ancient language of the Sith. For the benefit of the uninitiated, this talisman enables the wearer to read and pronounce the ancient language.
Sith Sword
These dark and deadly weapons can withstand any punishment. Made indestructible by sorcery, their blades can even parry lightsabers! These weapons have survived the millenium with sharp edges and straight blades.
