This ring is visually and materially identical to all of the rings made to honor the ascension of a new Scion of Taldryan. Its solid platinum construction gleams when polished, as does the embedded Obsidion encircling the amethyst crescent, sapphire claw, and ruby star jewel insets that make up the Clan emblem of Taldryan. This ring was awarded and worn, proudly displayed for over a decade, on the right hand of Vodo Biask Taldrya as Taldryan's Consul and then still as a Dark Councillor of the Grand Master, until his death in 38 ABY. Its beauty and heritage hide a secret however.
History
In 38 ABY Vodo Biask Taldrya sacrificed his life to save the lives of his clanmates during the events of the Fourteenth Great Jedi War. Faced by enemies on all sides, unable to extricate himself and save his clanmates as well, he buried his lightsaber in a powerful generator, causing it to explode and ruin the plans of the Collective to utilize dangerous bio-weapons on the battlefield surrounding Elos Vrai in the Arx System. After the battle Taldryanite Dasha 'Jala' Talus came across the blackened, but otherwise undamaged, ring the Sith Warlord always wore displayed on his right hand. Drawn to it by its hidden luster, and perhaps the barely perceptible suggestion of something more, Jala picked the ring up intending to gift it someday to her romantic crush Zakai Biask, the son of the late Vodo.
The Ring, identical to all those given to newly risen Scions of Taldryan and bearers of the Clan name Taldrya, was one of Vodo's prized possessions symbolizing his uncharacteristic and intense devotion to the Clan. Unknown to others however is that the Sith Warlord experimented on the Ring seeking a manner in which to infinitely prolong his life and as a safety measure to insure against death. The Ring is one of three such unique items that the Twi'lek experimented upon and enchanted, and all three were intended to be worn and used to capture his departing spirit in the case of his own death. At the time of his sacrifice however the Warlord was only wearing one of three artifacts, his Ring.
The Will of the Ring
The ring is not conscious nor is it truly the repository of Vodo Biask's entire soul. Unable to capture the entirety of the soul, the Ring instead attempts to reunite with the next closest thing: the soul of Zakai Biask. Those who come into the proximity of the Ring may find themselves drawn to it, particularly if they are Force Sensitive and susceptible to the Dark Side. Touching the Ring can cause, with time, the possesser to become enthralled by the Ring's aura and desires. New and erratic habits, which may express themselves as obsessiveness-compulsive behaviors, can be observed those nearby though they may not necessarily notice at first. The Ring desires to unite with Zakai Biask but the boy, unaware of the Ring's possession, wants nothing to do with the most enduring symbol of his abusive Father. It is therefore forced to content itself with corrupting its host and pushing them to find another, more suitable host.
