The settlement is a farming hamlet, where the Old Ways are not just the object of study and reverence, but a way of life. They naturally deferred to my Pure nature and called me 'Kaari', a clear conjunction of 'Ki Ari'. I was pointed towards caverns in the south where there was a place of Worship to an entity they referred to as 'the Lady in the Mists'. They described her as a fertility goddess and make offerings of produce and livestock to her in exchange for protection of themselves and their harvest. I purchased wine and funded a head of cattle from the merchant that gave ne the information to serve as an offering.

My exploration of the caverns described led me to two discoveries: A series of plaques embedded in the cliff face behind waterfalls. Two of the three were too worn to be read, while the third read 'Mother-warden Verdaris III of Ri Kahri Narsa.' I believe this to have been one of the Refugee ships that fled the Caldera in the wake of the Republic purges, which presumably rests nearby.

Further in, I found the 'Lady in the Mists'. A statue that I believe represents Marserha Jochor, a gravid Pure-blooded woman. The plinth she stood upon bore a plack reading 'My children, cast unto the stars, their fate and path unclear. I shall watch them and I shall wait for them. I shall build for their kin a refuge, and when they return will kindle in them a greatest All shall cower before me.' I do not think the locals can read the Kittât of the plaque, but they have come to naturally revere the entity the statue represents. With time and education, the locals can easily be brought into the Old Faith, and the further historical significance of the region is to be thoroughly explored.

Expedition report
Lord Dyiasizi, Sith Beastmaster of Old

The investigated site serves as the final resting place for Lord Dyiasizi, a Beastmaster of Old. The visage of Dyiasizi has been immortalized in stone with a carving above the entrance way. The tomb harboured a small amount of runical traps to bar the initial entrance walkways, not unlike those documented in site Eshur'za village expedition, albeit of a different nature and structure. The remains of warden beasts and dwelling pests have been recovered and removed correspondingly.

The tomb has been secured, remains under guard and constant surveillance. A veritable trove of ancient jewelry, ritual weaponry, studies and designs of beasts, alchemically and not, along with personal journals and other writings have been recovered; for the present and future generations of Sith to maintain, learn and grow from.

Documentation pertaining to notable designs and motifs within the site, as well as the extracted artefacts that have been deemed to be of standout worth compared to the rest:

Entry A1: Shyrack and Tuk'ata hound statues, positioned in the premier chamber of the tomb and mirroring each other from opposite walls. The creatures have either been aggrandized in their display or they are depictions of much larger specimens, potentially alchemically modified or mutated variants.

Entry A2: Imbued inner resting chamber door. A contraption that appears to be connected to some kind of power source deeper within the structure's construct [NOTES REDACTED]. An offering of the blood of the specimen from Entry B1 into the small basin mounted into its centre appears to activate the contraption and grand passage beyond.

Entry A3: An elaborate marble statue depicting a tall and lean Pureblood male (Lord Dyiasizi), clad in an ornate robe. Three large tuk'ata loom above and behind him. Connected to the pedestal of the statue is the coffin itself, the skeletonized remains of the beastmaster still preserved within. The lack of any notable fractures or otherwise damage to the bones indicate it was either a quiet passing or a precise killing.

Entry B1: Mutated (and possibly modified) Tuk'ata warden. One of the three beasts depicted in Entry A3, this one had grown to massive proportions. Lacking the armour of its siblings, likely having outgrown it or seen it ripped off at an earlier point. Killed in combat and succumbed to the runic defences built into the walkway as documented above. Portions of the skeleton remain and pieces of flesh and blood have been collected and sampled. Samples are presently in storage within the Preserver vaults.

Entries B2 and B3: The skeletonized remains of the other two Tuk'atas, found in the inner burial chamber. Guarding his place of rest from both sides until their own final hour, their modified harnesses and battle armour are still largely intact and preserved, attached to their bodies. Specimens are observed to be notably smaller than the one from Entry B1. Remains have been transferred to storage within the Preserver vaults.

Entry C1: An ornate halberd, fashioned out of mundane steel. Remarkably well preserved despite the years, with little to no wear or tear upon it. The decorative depictions on its ax are of a tuk'ata hound, with its tail raised up high and primed to strike, its tip sharp alike a stinger. The other is a clenched fist motif, a familial or House sigil. A ceremonial execution weapon, this did not see frequent employment on the battlefield. Presently in storage within the Preserver vaults.

Entry C2: A physical chronicler that was written and maintained by Lord Dyiasizi himself. It documents his techniques for taming and controlling beasts, dietary plans, propositions and plans for alchemical modifications and several profiles of different creatures, detailing both their inclinations and physical specifications. Presently in storage within the Preserver vaults. A digitalized transcript has been made available to Lord Sarias.

Entry C3: An embellished golden amulet, with an attached long metallic chain. Its centerpiece bears a beast claw motif. Presently in storage within the Preserver vaults.

Entry C4: A silver signet ring, bearing the sigil of Lord Dyiasizi, the same fist motif as observed in Entry C1 is present here. Presently in storage within the Preserver vaults.

Along with these, several other pieces of jewelry and smaller trinkets have been secured and collected. A variety of these are clearly are the works of a less skilled hand, likely offerings by less notable figures or perhaps even journeyman craftsmen. Likewise, they have been contained within the Preserver vaults.]]> [Image: CLsfhGF.png]

PROJECT Tuwûiuruzi

A Korribani estate that has been reclaimed for House Horuset and restored. It belonged once to Sith Lord Dratsari.

Situated at the edge of one of the desert valleys, these grounds are a veritable fortress, designed to harbour an entire bloodline of Sith. Out front are the beast pens and slave quarters. Ahead near the periphery lay an armory along with a barracks - ancient weaponry and tools were once stored inside. A training chamber and a battle circle once used by Massassi warriors remains on site for the present and future generations of Sith to train and duel upon.

Across from it is another entrance that connects to a tumulus, housing the estate crypt. An ossuary and sepulchre remain intact within, if significantly weathered over the ages. Access remains restricted.

Within the main building the chambers split off. Long stone halls connect adjoined floors, with several different rooms on offer. Personal chambers, with one grander in particular belonging to Lord Dratsari. A grand war-axe and battle sword remained attached to the war, likely former prized weapons turned into ornamental and sentimental heirlooms. They have since been moved to the Preserver vaults. The room is large enough to have been fit for more than one person: a partner and children were likely considered.

Leading down from it is a great hall, long tables and old appliances indicate it once facilitated great feasts and gatherings.
The rest of the remaining rooms are to be segregated into a prayer room, with small shrines depicting two figures. Zyantha and Mekhath. A testament to Lord Dratsari's favouritism of our warrior-kin.
The last room is a restored archive. Its contents of old no longer remain, but the opportunity remains for these to be adorned with knowledge once more.

The estate remains under the watch and guard of Horuset forces. Access to its grounds are freely permitted to members of the Powerbase.

Report transcribed by Acolyte Xulia

Objective:
The mission aimed to neutralise potential threats in the ancient structures of Zelkiraz and achieve any artefacts.

Mission Details:

1. Smuggler's Ship Encounter:
The mission commenced with the discovery of a smuggler's ship, where we encountered a teenage occupant. Lyrissa swiftly eliminated the teenager, and we proceeded to disable the ship's controls.

2. First Room - Subduing Smugglers:
Upon entering an old structure buried in sand, we confronted two smugglers - a female human and a male Houk. The female was subdued while the Houk was ordered to surrender, but he resisted and charged at us. We swiftly eliminated the Houk and incapacitated the female. A stone tablet revealed historical information about the Lord of Zelkiraz. I have written down the text in both Sith Kittat as well as galactic basic.

3. Discovery of Statuette:
On searching the female smuggler, Lyrissa found a small statuette wrapped in protective sheets. Its significance remains unknown.

4. The Ancient Lord's Sarcophagus:
Moving to the next room, we discovered the sarcophagus of the ancient lord, missing an object between his hands.

5. Confrontation in the Last Room:
In the final room, we encountered two humans and a Rodian guarding a professor studying Sith history. A large stone tablet described the conquest of the city of Koltriv by Typhojem. As well as the other tablet, I have taken the liberty to write it down too. We quickly engaged in combat, with Lyrissa and Seranaus eliminating the guards while I subdued the professor. A scepter found on the professor proved to be the missing item from the ancient lord's sarcophagus.

Outcome:

The professor was captured and will undergo reeducation to serve the Empire.
The Rodian, Houk and two humans smugglers were swiftly eliminated.
Valuable historical information was obtained from the stone tablets.

Recommendations:

Further analysis of the statuette and the missing object from the ancient lord's sarcophagus is recommended.
Interrogation of the professor may yield additional insights into Sith history and potential threats.

Tablet one:

"As for the Lord of Zelkiraz, who had not submitted to my authority, I besieged and captured his city, along with many smaller towns, taken in battle. I took as plunder 20.000 people, male and female, along with all the beasts of his home. As for the lord, I shut him like a caged bird in his city, and did not allow any to come out of the city gates."

"Vi nuo tave Ari iv Zelkiraz, kuris run nyubhusase kia nuyak asijesis, Nu veai ir stara jiso miestas, doru dos nyâsh nwit miestik, vykti is misina. Nu vykti vi pidiji nojak. 000 tauta, xatina ir patelex, doru dos visa tave zveris iv jiso fahka. Vi nuo tave ari, Nu vosti jis kais zo dia metja is jiso miestas, ir dary nenx leisti jok kia tapti' ukr tave miestas sutjaza."

Tablet Two:

“Typhojem, my Lord, encouraged me and against the land of Koltriv I marched. In the course of my campaign I took tribute from all the cities along the way. With the might of my Lord Typhojem I smote his enemies. The city of Koltriv was like the nest of a Shyrak, located on a mountain ridge like swords without number pointed towards the sky. Its walls were strong, and the sky appeared to be their head. By means of beasts, of engines of siege and of my loyal warriors I laid my wrath upon the city. They had seen the approach of their doom and heard the roar of the mighty troops of Typhojem and their hearts became afraid. The city of Koltriv I besieged, I captured, I looted, I destroyed, I burned with fire.”

"Typhojem, nuyak Ari, dotiaezi nun ir priaet tave laime iv Koltriv Nu kitfi. Is tave takas iv nuyak keneseta Nu vykti naviza sulig visa tave miestas doru tave ipros. Su tave galez iv nuyak Ari Typhojem Nu tivi jiso laikas. Tave miestas iv Koltriv buti kais tave rals iv zo Shyrak, fiksot ant zo kruva sers kais spaga lauke rokasa sorms an tave xeana. Le siena buti viekis, ir tave xeana avati kia buti ane zmogus. Sas zveris, iv zuguzys iv vea ir iv nuyak lojalus massassi Nu nakasi nuyak kanasaza sh'jatau tave miestas. Tau zinot ziur tave stumlekeai iv ane dujikra ir girdeti tave mnamazi iv tave jengat akila iv Typhojem ir ane kata darytis gekezese. Tave miestas iv Koltriv Nu veai, Nu stara, Nu tzebyu, Nu ardyti, Nu mtoni su saud."]]> [Image: CLsfhGF.png]

The purpose of the Preserver records is to catalogue matters of significance to the Sith, whether they are objects or sites, that are of cultural and historical importance. Stored within them are documentations of artefacts and sites that offer insight into the Sith of old. They serve to provide knowledge and guidance to the present and future generations of Sith, to enhance their understanding and perspective of the heart of the traditions and culture that form our identity.

These records are sustained and warded by the Pillar of Culture and the associated Disciples. Access to the public listings can be found here.]]> [Image: CLsfhGF.png]
