Preserver Branch Records

[Hazlem]

HPA-S01

The site in question is a small cave located on the planet of Nicht-Ka containing several Hyperspace War-era artifacts and corpses owing to survivors of the Terentatek Class ship by the name of the Saud finding their way to the planet and eventually dying there. These artifacts provide a valuable insight into the life and opinions of members of Naga Sadow's armed forces. They have been evacuated from the cave in view of the environmental hazards posed by the ammonia-rich atmosphere of Nicht Ka. Artifacts recovered from the site include;

HPA-S01-A1: A box of standard issue survival equipment contemporaneous to the Great Hyperspace War including rations and blankets, amongst other similar items. Presently in storage within the Preserver warehouses.

HPA-S01-A1-1: A note written in Common Sith upon vellum produced using the flesh of the common Korribani Shyrack. It documents in casual terms the circumstances of their arrival upon the planet as well as the death of HPA-S01-R1. Presently in the care of Lord Iezkon through her faculty as Lorekeeper.

HPA-S01-R1: The corpse of a skeletonized Pureblooded male. Significant sustained damage from the local environment is clear. Likely the individual by the name of Zelat, a diplomat onboard the Saud who perished drinking from the ammonium waters outside of the cave. Presently in storage within the Preserver warehouses.

HPA-S01-R2: The corpse of a skeletonized Pureblooded male of a pure or near-pure Zuguruk lineage. Shattered cranium likely resulting from a struggle against the individual documented here as HPA-S01-R4. Likely the individual by the name of Kotzal, an engineer onboard the Saud. Presently in storage within the Preserver warehouses.

HPA-S01-R3: The corpse of a skeletonized Pureblooded male. Significant damage to the torso and right leg likely resulting from a struggle against the individual documented here as HPA-S01-R4. Likely the individual by the name of Yutel, a guardsman onboard the Saud. Presently in storage within the Preserver warehouses.

HPA-S01-R4: The corpse of a skeletonized Herglic male. No major skeletal damage, the target likely expired from wounds to flesh and viscera inflicted by the individuals recorded here as HPA-S01-R2 and HPA-S01-R3. Likely the Herglic slave from aboard the Saud whose name is unrecorded. Presently in storage within the Preserver warehouses.

HPA-S01-A2: An impromptu stele likely carved by the individual recorded here as HPA-S01-R5. This document records (in Common Sith) the fate of the survivors of the Saud more completely than HPA-S01-A1-A1. Presently in-situ at its original site beneath an environment-resistant tarp in order to preserve its form. 

HPA-S01-A2-1: A sith-forged shortsword of mundane steel, good quality but with significant damage from age. Found behind HPA-S01-A2. Presently in the ownership of Lord Sarias.

HPA-S01-R5: The corpse of a skeletonized Pureblooded male. Little-to-no skeletal damage, cause of death likely dehydration or gradual ammonia poisoning. Likely the individual by the name of Grethen, captain of the guard of the Saud's commander, Lord Drezaal. Presently in storage within the Preserver warehouses.

ARCHAELOGICAL SITE BK-32
Tzihra Oitjara - Stone Garden

An ancient Korribani estate. Site of battle between bothanese Jedi General Afosh La and Sith Lord Sursi Dris. The Jedi led one of the culling parties on our homeworld and viciously slayed civilians and combatants alike. Lord Dris, cornered within the Estate, mystically blinded the garrison, carpet bombing the outside and exterminating the rest who managed to retreat into the interior.

Skeletons in the hundreds litter the main gate, both of our own and of the Republic enemy. A havoc that extends to and from both the barracks on the estate grounds and the quarters for the slave caste. The barracks harbour a battle circle, designed and fit for Massassi warriors.

Inside what remains of one of the tombs, drawings of ancient combat styles were depicted, appropriated to accommodate ancient Sith Warblades with their techniques and stances. Several names of Sith and Apprentices alike are etched in Low Sith, recoverable from these are 'Sith Vork' and 'Apprentice Erker'. Apart from more archaic forms being depicted, there are images depicting Shii-Cho and Makashi. Possibly learned from combating Jedi? Warswords, pikes and spears alike are depicted among the used weaponry.

This same chamber was warded by stone sentries, animated wardens. Their shells constructed out of terracota-style pottery.
Further within, charred bunks beds, an emptied armoury and several dedications to Zyantha and Mekhath could be observed. A small shrine, tucked away in the corner, rests smashed and torn apart.

ARCHAELOGICAL SITE BK-33
Healer's hall

Situated at the edge of a vast, ruined, old city on Korriban rests this antiquated hall of healers. Its rudy stones speak of many names: Sage Qushok, Isharap Sisex, Tyatse Sinarkav, Rorun Nyoro, Ravir Thuthet, Zoraar and more.

The entire structure radiated of death from the Dark Side. Its inscription at the door reads, in High Sith, that Healer blood is shed for all, lowest and highest. An addressal to 'healer kin' to shed blood, to do as one must and they shall be let in. All magic bears a price. It is wise to heal, to pay the price. 

As such, when blood is offered to the grove within, the door unseals. The structure leads low into the ground, and any who offer out blood or sustain injury could not heal. The chambers within depict kneeling Purebloods, their hands upholding the ceiling. Blood, hewn into the rock, displayed as cascading from their palms and down their bodies. A memorial, a pedestal to healers and their sacrifice.
The adjacent chambers likewise speak of the path and turmoils necessitated by the duty of a healer. They open the path ahead only if blood is offered further at the present basils or inscriptions. 

The last riddles speak of immortality. They demand and ask - what is such a state worth? Blood and pain are required. The ultimate chamber harbours a statue. One that contains the soul, or life energy, of the last healer of this hall. Zoraar, as aforementioned in the beginning of this report - the last name among the many inscribed, and one without a surname. The statue acted as a warden for tresspassers and unworthy, shattering upon the offer of the blood of a living healer gracing its stone palm. 

The interior of the structure has since collapsed.

ARCHAELOGICAL SITE KR-01
Ancient Archive

Located on the holy world of Krayiss II, this ancient archive first surfaced in my investigations through a declassified IRS report. It was not even the topic of discussion within it, but rather an off-hand note within a list of potential sites of interest many years ago. Nestled within the "Sith's Crown", a series of mountain peaks, this old archive has not seen scholars or students for quite some time.

Its jagged stones speak of a crumbled away landing pad and frost has overtaken what was once a grand foyer. The few remaining desks and shelves topside have been plundered and pillaged. The archives are grand and split off into two sections. One of which has been crudely torn apart by a lightsaber buzzing through its doorway. Runic traps decorate the stairway leading in. Remnants of a past expedition remain further in way of a deceased Specialist, sporting an out-of-date imperial rifle. Claw marks dictate their cause of death. Past whom rests a databank, warded by a gatekeeper. They respond to Common and High Sith, and offered assistance in searching the archives. The gatekeeper warned of a fading power supply and the imminent loss of data, which has sadly not been replaced. 

An apparition of some kind acts as a guardian within this archive, and a visage-less robe stalks the halls, preventing the extraction of any of its remaining scrolls or other artifacts. Objects imbued with the Force have been located and the few extracted possessions are in the Claviger's care given their sensitive nature. A repeat incursion is to follow as to secure the site and its valuables. Potential for further worth dwells within.

ARCHAELOGICAL SITE KR-00
Administration Hub

Located within  the Craglands region of Korriban, this ruined Administration Hub is the site of a past expedition conducted under Lord Kalkoran's directive. Its purpose to uncover a map from within it to define the sprawl of the region and identify what else may lay buried within it.

This record shall serve only to catalogue the findings of the excavation team. 

KR-00-A1: Four statues depicting the possible founders of the city. Zusrai Chijso, Father of Founding. Cena Oruxu, Mother of Shaping. Mojlish Lazu, Brother of Forges. Rhesua Vaqriu, Sister of Study.

KR-00-A2: A stone tablet inscribed by Sazar Chijso, presumed descendant of the Father of Founding. It details the inner workings of the Administration and its dailyhood.

KR-00-A3: A tablet documenting supply records, time measurements (by sunset and sunrise), as well as referencing major routes. It speaks of supplies from the city being raided and delayed. Sith Vi'Kas' commentary speaks of a possible correlation to the Republic's invasion being brought up, but such remains indeterminate.

KR-00-A3B: A second tablet in a set with KR-00-A3, this one serves to document incident reports. It makes mention of a Ziureti, a watcher and a key.

KR-00-B1: A twained and eroded massassi lanvarok.

KR-00-B2: Remains of an ancient Tuk'ata, significantly larger than its present day descendants.

KR-00-B3: Circular disk map, initially split into two parts.

ARCHAELOGICAL SITE KR-19
Settlement tomb

This site pertains to the resting place for the leaders and notables of Eshur'za village and the surrounding village. Its halls are lined with artisans, warriors and priests alike. The tomb remains restricted and under guard, and the intact valuables and offerings left behind have been contained and secured within the Preserver vaults.

The tomb serves as a place of veneration, both to individuals and the legacy left behind for the future Sith through their careers. Several statues are dedicated to kissai, zuguruks and several warriors figures. Cenotaphs occupy the first chamber, while the rest harbour more traditional graves. 

A variety of artefacts were extracted, from some ancient spears, a heavily weathered and damaged panabas sword; to tools of artisans - burins, chisels and adzes. The notables among the extracted items from this site are:

KR-19-A1: Gold signet ring, decorated with a reddish-brown cornelian intaglio that depicts a hulking, muscular tuk'ata.

KR-19-B1: A bulky and large, copper-hued two-handed Sith sword. Shaped like a spadone. A short ricasso section sprawling above the hilt, which itself is marked by two sharp spikes on the sides, likely intended to cut and maim the hands of potential disarmers.

KR-19-B2: An elaborate misericorde dagger, its hilt made out of (tuk'ata) bone, wrapped with dark leather. Its blade an elongated and thin reflective silver.

KR-19-A2: A trio of small bells, smelted from aged bronze. They have a truncated cone shape with an oval cross-section. Imagery pans its outer shell, depictions of cowled Sith conducting a ritual as they are gathered around a large basin or a pool - seemingly summoning or conjuring up a great, hulking beast. Its form partially obscured by liquid dripping down its massive monstrous form. A lower row displays a male Kissai gesturing forward with a short spear, ushering forth the beast from the previous image: its form now unveiled to illustrate a ferocious terentatek.

KR-19-B3: A steel lamellar helmet designed for an ancient Sith warrior, its conical cap has a small circular opening atop with a removable ring for larger circumference that seemingly lets hair braids be pushed through, to stand out alike a plume.

KR-19-A3: A bellowing shyrack figurine, about a dozen inches tall, carved out of stone. Its appendages clasped to the top of its rock perch. The eyeless pest has its maw wide open, sharp and jagged teeth on display - a soundless scream captured in the statuette.

Rediscovered Ancient Site KR-02
Ancient stone diptych

Two carvings of stone, separated into neighbouring panels, depict with imagery a halved tale. A cautionary display of alliances: at their zenith and their lowest points.

The first, the leftward tablet, illustrates a consortium of ancient Sith gathered around in what is seemingly a war rally: evidently in harmony and synchronized, a smaller figure in the corner helping up another from the side over a faded ledge. (This part of the stone has been withered over time and makes it difficult to discern if aught else is missing). The other half, the rightward tablet, depicts a similar if not the very same site as from the first. Similar and familiar silhouettes occupy the scene, but these participants are no longer bound in comradery. Rather treachery. One piercing another through the spine, another duo bickering, hands obscured behind their bodes with daggers at the ready. A sharp contrast to the first display.

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.

ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE KR-03
Tomb of Sith Beastmaster


Site KR-03 acts 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 KR-19, albeit of a different nature and structure. The remains of warden beasts and dwelling pests have been recovered and removed correspondingly. 

KR-03-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. 

KR-03-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 KR-03-B1 into the small basin mounted into its centre appears to activate the contraption and grand passage beyond.

KR-03-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.

KR-03-B1: Mutated (and possibly modified) Tuk'ata warden. One of the three beasts depicted in KR-03-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.

KR-03-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 KR-03-B1. Remains have been transferred to storage within the Preserver vaults.

KR-03-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.

KR-03-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.

KR-03-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.

KR-03-C4: A silver signet ring, bearing the sigil of Lord Dyiasizi, the same fist motif as observed on KR-03-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. The site remains under guard and constant surveillance, unauthorized passage is forbidden.
