OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
- Intent: To create a silly, but useful item matching Darth Ophidia's persistent consumption of tea.
- Image Source: Pinterest: Tea set.
- Canon Link: (N/A)
- Restricted Missions: (If needed)
- Primary Source: Phrik.
- Manufacturer: [member="Reverance"], later acquired by Darth Ophidia.
- Model: (N/A)
- Affiliation: Darth Ophidia
- Modularity: (No)
- Production: Unique
- The set includes everything one needs to prepare and serve tea, short of the ingredients, all made from phrik alloy. Except the towel, which is made from a fine linnen.
- Elegantly designed, it does not cry out for attention nor shy away from it. The longer one looks at it, the more details one will find in the subtle decoration. Whoever made it certainly
- Phrik alloy makes it ridiculously durable, if not virtually indestructible. While it is not the strongest grade of phrik, it is certainly strong enough to withstand more than a tea set ought to.
- Ridiculously durable: Each piece of this set could receive repeated strikes from vibroweapons, blasters and lightsabres without taking notable damage.
- Self-defence: One could, theoretically defend oneself with such an item.
- Unique: Even without its metallic composition, this tea set is of remarkably fine quality and certainly makes for a topic of conversation.
- Ridiculously expensive: Replicating such a tea set is simply not worth it. Who even thought of this and would anyone bother to make it real?
- Not a weapon: It's a tea-set. It is not an efficient combat implement and will not replace any weapons any time soon.
There are some people with an insatiable urge to shape. Sometimes, these people create ridiculous items that end up sitting in a room for ages; the Dzumuni is one such. It was made by the Sith Lord [member="Reverance"] and after a series of events gifted to a land-owner on Ord Trasi. This land-owner was poisoned soon after. The tea set was then put into the family storage rooms with other hoarded treasures and simply forgotten. There it sat for more than a decade.
Then, during the Sith Empire's emergence and claim of Ord Trasi, it was found by one Darth Ophidia. She knew not at the time what she had found, not truly. Yet, she claimed it for her own and named it Dzumuni - A rare, but existing noun in High Sith meaning "leaf boiler", used to describe most implements utilised in the preparation of tea; something Darth Ophidia is quite fond of.
The set is of Atrisian design and consists of a tray, a towel, four cups, a stand, a pot, four spoons and assorted tea making implements one cannot be bothered to name. The pot itself has a subtle plant and leaf motif that one must take time to study and enjoy. The cups, while made of metal, are textured to give an almost ceramic feeling, they too are adorned with a subtle plant pattern which one also finds replicated in the towel. Whoever made this had a theme in mind and carried it out to perfection.
Once cleaned out, the Dzumuni made absolutely delectable tea.
