Public Call for Operation Team Assembly

---

Clad in a robe of heavy dark fabric, the slender, wispy frame of the Dark Lord of House Horuset springs to life. In the electric blue light of the hologram, she looks eerily like a specter. Her voice however, rings clear.

"So much of our Order's history has been lost through the ages. Through malicious deeds of envious actors, to the mismanagement of our own unworthy; more Sith Lore has been lost than we may ever know. When the opportunity arises to retrieve some of it, it must be taken. With zeal, so it may be safeguarded and protected for time immemorial.

''And now, one such opportunity has arisen. My sources tell me of a hidden trove of written history- a library of sorts. It is locked away on the ancient Sith capital of Ziost, begging to be unlocked so its contents may be returned to the worthy scions of those who wrote it. As such, I desire the service of four Sith who know how to appreciate the ancients and avoid their arcane traps. Present yourself to me with eagerness, and I shall see to your reward."

''Failure however, is not an option... Know this; I have reason to greatly value the contents of this vault. Should it be destroyed or lost, I will subject you to unspeakable things as punishment. You are warned.''

With that the hologram would flicker and then fade from view. Leaving the viewer able to access the rest of the information provided.

Mission Report: The First Mother

---

Strike Team: Lord Andnoa, Sith Naneti, Apprentice Cadeon

---

Result: Objective secured.

---

Report: Upon deploying to the world of Ziost the archway was encountered exactly as described, a short valley lead into a vast opening where a temple was visible. The ground on the temple's approach has been scoured to such a point it is entirely lacking of any cohesion and individuals of increased weight will find themselves sinking into it. A path can be found through this area by following the larger stones to distribute weight.

The exterior of the tomb was secured by an ancient door that remained sealed, ornately carved with a screaming Sith's face and forked tongue to act as a knocker. Upon using the knocker, the doors were imbued with energy and opened - at this point the presence of the tomb was palpable. A ramp descends deep below ground, upon flattening out the corridor is laden with pressure plates. Triggering these will trigger jets of liquid flame. To bypass the plates one must follow the central seam. I have marked the extents of the pressure plates with saber marks one metre beyond their extents - any IRS workers ought to be briefed on this detail.

The final antechamber was several stories high and within rested an inactive sentinel guardian. Lord Andnoa attempted a Sorcerous technique and woke the guardian. The Guardian followed a pattern, it attacked with rapid speed and immense strength before returning to an initial stance - the runes across its body flowed from the centre mass - the path of energy from its core to the limbs. Upon informing Lord Andnoa and Sith Naneti that this was the mechanism to disable the guardian we struck in unison, breaking the flow of energy and rendering it inert - at this point, whatever bound the energy of the tomb was broken and Ziost consumed whatever energy remained.

The spear of the sentinel guardian formed a bridge to a treasure chamber, the objective you desired was secured and is currently in Lord Andnoa's care.
