| While traversing the Galaxy, Dorian stumbled upon a forgotten tome, a [[starwars:Holocron|Holocron]] of a [[starwars:Dooku|Count from Serenno]]. The details within, described a lightsaber of a unique design, an upgraded version with a curved hilt. Still new to the Force, the Korunnai Prince was assigned a task that would help him secure his place as a Knight within the Order of [[New Tython]]. Having adopted the same form as this Count, [[starwars:Makashi|Makashi]], his goal was to not only rebuild but to modify the hilt depicted in the schematics. After careful deliberation, Dorian set out to the [[starwars:Setor Sector|Setor Sector]] of the [[starwars:Outer Rim Territories|Outer Rim]], to the planet called [[starwars:Vanqor|Vanqor]]. This planet was the final resting place of the Venator-class Star Destroyer known as The Endurance and served as [[starwars:Mace Windu|Mace Windu’s]] Flagship for most of the [[starwars:Clone Wars|Clone Wars]]. A legend of [[starwars:Haruun Kal|Haruun Kal]], Dorian grew up idolizing this particular Jedi and was able to procure enough doonium from the vessel to forge the core of his lightsaber’s curved hilt. With an eye for flare, Dorian needed some accent pieces so next on his journey was Cantonica where he learned that aurodium, a metal more rare than gold, was used as the standard currency within the planet’s casinos. Taking his winnings, Dorian melted these pieces of aurodium down and used them for accent pieces that would enhance his hilt’s striking appearance. A significant amount of time had passed and Rostu was struggling to find a crystal worthy of his weapon. It needed to be perfect. Called back to New Tython by his master, Dorian was beginning to feel defeated until the Force began to lure him away from his intended destination. The system was one he had never been to before but over the years the information merchant had heard the numerous tales stemming from a scorched planet known as Tatooine. Redirecting his ship to the planet below, he remained on the surface for two months. Dreams frequently caused him to wake in cold sweats, the Force constantly tugged at him, nearly driving him to the point of madness until one night he had a breakthrough. Naturally gifted with Foresight, a great beast revealed itself to him. After questioning the locals, he finally learned the location of the large creature. Alas, when he arrived at the coordinates, the only thing left were the bleached bones of a Krayt Dragon. He knelt until day turned into night, meditating on his next plan of action until he opened his eyes and saw a shimmering light breaking through the sand. Like an orb, it levitated, the power within the object was rare in that somehow, it felt familiar. Upon further inspection, he noticed that the item was an extremely rare Krayt Pearl. In life, the Krayt Dragon had ingested a Kyber Crystal and over time the acidity in it’s stomach had created a slurry of material that fused to form this priceless trinket. It would make for the perfect focusing crystal for his lightsaber. Upon tuning it and pouring his own energy into it, upon igniting it for the first time, he was surprised that the blade seemingly howled instead of moaned and the blade produced was serene and devoid of color, pure and white. Pleased with the outcome, there was only one thing left. It was a tradition of the Korunnai people. He would coat the hilt in Portaak Amber. This material was a resin which came from a leaf found on Haruun Kal. A natural fungicide, the Korunnai rubbed their weapons with it to prevent the metal and silicate eating fungi from degrading them. Although sticky, the resin did not rub off on the user’s hands. | | While traversing the Galaxy, Dorian stumbled upon a forgotten tome, a [[starwars:Holocron|Holocron]] of a [[starwars:Dooku|Count from Serenno]].
