Helm of the Twin Suns

[Lysander von Ascania]

"The blood of the house is my oath; the Dark Side is my blade."
​

DESCRIPTION

The Helm of Devotion, his elder mask, symbolized fealty. Now, he bears one that declares ambition. Sith instructors recognized the shift before he ever spoke of it. Many acolytes veil their visage, striving for ascent; as an apprentice, he binds himself to this helm because he intends to return from the death that claims others. Beyond armor, it is an oath and proclamation. It declares that Ascania flows in its scion, that heritage is unbroken, the Dark willingly embraced, and the currents of Ukatis' Wyndvane nexus flow through him. When Lysander dons it, he becomes both guardian and executioner, the living symbol of his house and the shadow that falls upon every foe, marking the beginning of a chapter where he inscribes dominion upon the living and guides others beneath his hand.

Born upon the mountain's anvil of Ukatis, where the winds of four moons cut like shards across the durasteel, the Helm of the Twin Suns stands as a decree to bloodline and devotion. The shell blends Phrik-reinforced ore, mined from the planet's rugged terrain, blessed beneath the scorching flames of Seres and Cephla.

During the creation, Lysander summoned an alchemist of the Order of Wonosa. Through alchemical rites, the Force was woven into the very fibers of the helm, entwining bloodline and ambition into its core, a tool of training and promise. At The Covenant's academy, it follows him like a loyal companion, aligning with his every skill, harmonizing with his movements, and reinforcing the ruthless fortitude that so often shapes a Sith apprentice. It serves as a constant reminder that true mastery can only be earned through struggle and dedication.
