A Silver and Gold Platter
With Haiku for You
Artifact description:
A small, solid gold tablet in a precisely crafted trapezium shape, measuring twelve to sixteen inches wide, eight inches high and half an inch deep. The tablet is easy to hold thanks to two convenient handles. There is an identical pair of inscriptions on both sides of the tablet. The tablet appears pristine and burnished, almost like it was newly forged. The script is written in an ancient Sith tongue, with depictions of figures raising the tablet high above them. The edges are enhanced with a silver filigree, forming a hooked and jagged pattern, and sharp silver horns curve out from the four points of the trapezium.
Following months of translations, the script finally reads:
For those who wish it,
Finding the true dark power
There are but two steps:
With loud voice, you cry
Out to the sky and accept
The darkness within
To keep yourself dark,
With tablet in hand turn it
Over and chant this:
I can turn tablets!
Just spin me right round Jedi!
I can turn tablets!
To stay on dark path,
Please turn me over again,
And repeat once more.
