In ages past before prevalence of light sabres back when sith referred to a species, there lived a great Sith sorcerer. An Muun Rha, a man of power beyond the wildest dreams of those of today and like most that used Sith magic he had a number of artefacts to aid him. One of his most used and versatile was his dagger. Infused with the dark side it would infect great pain on any one who touched it who was unable to or unwilling to channel the power of the dark side, the dagger was all so close to indestructible as to be called it. Though that was but a by product of it true power. The dagger acted as a conduit for the dark side of the force.


The dagger used the live forces of a living being to add in the casting of spells. The most common way to provide the live force was for one to cut them selves. There own life force being of a dark side force user and there for rather effective. Of course doing so left far more than a physical scar. The dagger would drain some the users own life force leaving him weaker. Though just how weak and for how long was fully depended on how much was need for the incantation. But in the end the blood and life force of any one other than those I the light side could be used. Though of course the amount need if the life force comes from a simple farmer will be far more if from some one adept in the dark side, the amount may be fatal, not that any one that uses the dagger would care.


In the end it was reputed in a attempt to gain immortality An Muun Rha tried to use a spell that would channel his entire life force in to a new permit resident. It is not known if he succeed or not, but An Muun Rha can not be contacted so either he still lives or his sprit was destroyed. After he left his objects spread around before all of a sudden vanishing, since then only a few have cropped up. One of them being his dagger, a dagger than a young inquisitor Mortem uncovered, though in truth she does not know how she even found it, since the tomb she would of been looted many times over. Yet there it was, on a alter.



intent: So I want to expand in to play with sith magic and a part of sith magic is the use power full artefacts. So I am creating this dagger. Where blood magic can be used.


All so is the image a ok one to use.​

I knew it was there, and it should be legal as long as the host is not German.

This reads a lot more like it belongs to the EU era than the current canon. Also, if you know that it's the image of a SS dagger then what's the point in playing on technicalities like the swastika is a much older symbol. Should definitely change the image.

You couldn't have found another image of a dagger? The very fact of you asking means you know it's not okay.

Jeez.

Is sith magic even cannon in new cannon. The only thing we have is the Night Sisters and EU.

All so I am unaware is a the dagger would be against rules hence I asked. I am not awar of displaying Nazi items being against site rules more so since the artefact is not related to Nazi ideology and that's the issue.

Its pretty much a courtesy thing. I can see members being uncomfortable with an approved lore item using Nazi imagery, even if its not used in that context.

Forget site rules, it's common sense that using something like that anywhere wouldn't be cool. You're just playing around with technicalities.

Allow me to explain:

Sith magic currently exists, yes, but it is not nearly on the scale as Legends once had—simply because no canon source has ever touched on Sith magic in any great degree yet. Objects like the Murr Talisman and so many other iconic Sith artifacts simply don't exist, nor do we have any precedent for them. That said, I'm never one to turn a lore article down simply because it took inspiration from Legends.

As to the Lore entry itself: There are things I like about this. The biggest one being that its name is a pun on the Egyptian god Amun-Ra; being an Egyptology geek, that made me smile more than it should, so kudos for that. There are also things that I don't like about this. Firstly, thank you for removing the swastika imagery. While most are aware of its historical implications, beyond just Nazi symbolism, it's in poor taste to use that image anywhere due to how uncomfortable that symbol can make someone. We always want to keep that in mind with our content.

What I don't like, however, is how over-powered this object seems to be. Draining life force, spell-casting, dark side of the Force conduit, etc.; that's a lot of abilities for a dagger that will be wielded by a Sith who will have powers and abilities of his own, in addition to this dagger's strengths. For now, I am going to Archive this entry. Please reconsider how powerful you're making an article, and also try to steer clear from making it too Legends-esque in the future.
