At first glance, this whip looks like any ordinary whip. However, closer examination reveals an insignia located on one side of the hilt with gold webs on either side. The insignia is the Sith Orders and within it is a symbol for the Inquisitors. The length of the whip is a simple but aged braided leather. Looking at it you could tell it had seen many battles.

The very bottom of the hilt discreetly twists off. Within the hilt is a small piece of old parchment. And written on this parchment is where a Sith Incantation is written to unlock the whip's hidden powers.

Once the whip is activated the user can use it to lash out webs of power that surrounds the target and shiphons their strength.

Haiku Poem:

A hard hilt
Grasp it within your hand
Smell the leather

Take your stance
Extend your arm up
Crack the tip

State the code
Feel the power within
Embrace that power

Channel to whip
Lash out towards target
Weaken your opponent

(did a haiku)

Bloodshed in darkness
Shadows bind the stars in death
Darkness shatters light

Storms rise and strike fierce
Echoes of past Lords are heard
Ancient power freed

Death and sacrifice
Hate must conquer foolish love
Chaos power gained

Only the worthy
No room for fear and death
Darkness rules again

High Sith translation:
Wirzyasshu'ija ir jina'tis
Hadzuska mirji ri w'ana ir kûts
Jina'tis timiri rokatsa

Asimi dradzia diâ tiwi dtoanazi
Iwa iw drosar ari aji
Nimyi midwan ridasi

Kûts diâ Aukotis
Zûtaiki nayir zarmi kinriai aki
Chhaosas midwan tihri

Ros ri arji
Ra dzikdta dzis nairi ao kûts
Jina'tis ririna wau

Description:

The artifact is a scepter/lance made of obsidian with an inscription carved in and filled with white Force crystal shards. At the top of the lance is a crystalline elongated blade, the edges sharpened and shaped to resemble a lance point. When the user reaches out to the Force with the ancient weapon as the focus, dark side energy channels through the scepter and into the user enhancing their power and abilities. When used as a weapon, it can unleash an energy blade of Force energy in any energy form desired. For example, it can be a blast of lightning, pure dark energy, or fire. Within the obsidian part of the staff, is a Force crystal-shard-filled hollowed section that is also bound by Force energy. However, this weapon is dormant, and will only wake when a worthy user has granted it a taste of their blood. Any kill made from betrayal by the weapon seems to enhance it power even more. The weapon’s most notable ability is to sap surrounding light from an area, and can create a temporary nexus of dark energy strong enough in a radius of twenty miles nullifying light side energy. Those who fight alongside the user will experience a boost in their own power.

Alliterative verse in the Anglo-Saxon style. A full write-up can be found at http://alliteration.net/fieldgd.htm, but these are the basics:

* Lines broken into two halves
* Each half has two dominant beats (lifts) formed from stressed syllables with a variable number of weak syllables (dips) rounding it out
* In each line, the first lift in the first half-line alliterates with the first lift in the second half-line
* Vowels are considered to alliterate with each other

Alliterative verse does not traditionally use stanzas, so I've simply broken the text into four discrete chunks covering the four pillars of the Sith Code.
