My chosen form is that of a haiku. It can be found marked with the - symbol about half way down.

Burial Urn of Darth Haima

Burial Urn of Darth Haima

Darth Haima was an early adherent to Sith teachings. He focused mainly on blood rituals and augmenting both his, others, and creature’s blood with Sith magiks and Alchemy. Upon his death, his followers were instructed to cremate his remains and place the resulting ash and bone in a ritualized burial urn.

The urn stands at twelve inches tall and approximately 10 inches in diameter. It is constructed of obsidian with aurodium and electrum inlays at the top, middle, and bottom of the urn. There are two handles on each side in the shape of a scimitar, with both honed to a razor’s edge. Grasping these will facilitate the bleeding needed to mix blood with the cremains.

The cap of the urn is completely made of obsidian. Pulling the top off causes a low sound that has been described by researchers as a moaning sound. Closing the lid makes the noise cease, but those in close vicinity have urges to grasp the urn and open it.

Around the urn at its largest circumference near the top is an inscription in ancient Sith that states:

-Within this stone cask-
-Lies a lord of blood and death-
-Imbued by darkness-

-With death lies power-
-Flesh to ash and bone to dust-
-The end has not come-

-In the Darkest Night-
-Power of the ash revealed-
-Through Blood sacrificed-

-Blood and ash joined-
-The power of the dark lord-
-Joins and lives anew-

It is believed that during an occultation of a star by a planet, or by the light of a black hole or black dwarf, one can mix their blood with the cremains and wipe the resulting mixture on their body. Researchers believe that this will reactivate the alchemical bases within the ash giving the user great power and command of the Force.
