SPECIAL FEATURES
- Bes'Manda:
- The blade always glows faintly, growing even brighter the more energy is consumed.
- The sword can serve as a focusing medium for meditation and some Force abilities.
- Tar'Nau in its entirety possesses a memory and emotion-based consciousness which is semi-sentient.
- Tar'Nau is capable of non-verbal communication with other pieces of Bes'manda and force sensitive beings. The sword is especially bonded with Elise Vizsla. The beskad is saturated with the collective memories and emotional impact of the Mandalorian Cataclysm. The sword communicates through radiated memory and emotion as communication.
- Tar'Nau will feel warm to the touch to those it likes. It will feel cool to the touch for those it dislikes. Finally it will feel hot to the touch (near-burning) to those it hates (Dark Side Force users - especially Sith, strongly Light-Side affiliated Force Users, people who have hurt or negatively affected Elise Vizsla).
- This sword appears to enjoy music, songs, and storytelling.
- Tar'Nau enjoys violence against Aruetii, particularly against Dar'manda, Jetii, Dar'jetii, and anyone who has hurt or negatively affected Elise Vizsla. The blade is exceptionally passive, however, with the Novanian branch of Arkanians.
- Tar'Nau can develop its own personality and traits beyond the ones listed above. This personality capability is similar to that of a droid's.
- Miscellaneous:
- A beskar cross-guard protects the sword wielder's hand.
- The hilt is adorned with a corusca gem. This is a purely cosmetic feature.
STRENGTHS
- Impervious: As a beskar and bes'manda crafted sword, this weapon thrives when deflecting lightsabers.
- Elegant: This is a light, well balanced sword which can be wielded with absolute ease.
- Quasar: The sword can absorb, focus, and amplify any form of energy, including Force energy. It can store large quantities of this absorbed energy, and the blade becomes more powerful the more energy is consumed.
- Hot And Cold: The core temperature of the blade increases with the amount of energy stored. It starts out cold, then grows into an unbearable heat.
- Balance: This sword is highly damaging and resistant towards Sithspawn, Dark Side Spirits, Light Side Spirits, Force Golems, and any other force entity strongly tied to only one side of the force.
- Power Attack: During a slashing/ cutting attack, the sword is enhanced in cutting through both soft and hard protection, such as Force Imbued Cloth, Silk, and Leather, Cortosisweave, or heavy plating made of common metals. Beskar, phrik, and other lightsaber resistant metals are still unbreakable. The only exception is cortosisweave. Any other form of cortosis can withstand it.
- Bonded: The bes'manda sword is uniquely bonded to Elise Vizsla. It will only allow itself to be wielded by her, or the few other people it trusts alongside her. The blade will not trust anyone strongly aligned with the Light or Dark Side of the Force, even if Elise trusts the person in question. The Dreamseer Blessing can only be awakened and used by Elise herself. If a non-authorized person tries to use the sword, it will emit a terrible and painful frequency until the sword is let go. Of course, someone could still technically use the sword in this state - it would just hurt and cause migraines so severe that it is not a good idea.
- Goodnight: Through the bes'manda's bond with its owner, Elise Vizsla, the blade is permanently blessed with the Dreamseer Covern's Blessing. However, the connection is usually dormant and requires activation from Elise Vizsla herself. When awakened, this power causes the sword's usually plain appearance to change. Once invisible runes will glow a bright red, and the blade's edges will dimly glow red as well. The Dreamseer Blessing allows the blade to force an unconscious, dreaming state upon any creature it remotely scratches - even grazes. The effect is near instantaneous, taking between one second and five seconds to complete. However, this awakened state can only be maintained by the sword for a singular minute, and it takes twenty-four galactic hours to recharge this power. Furthermore, the entire sword suffers side effects like a Dreamseer does. For the next seven galactic hours after the Dreamseer Blessing is used, none of the bes'manda's special properties can be used, reducing the sword to a regular beskad.
WEAKNESSES
- What Goes Up Must Come Down: The energy the blade, absorbs, when overloaded, must be released. Either as an explosive pulse or a directed beam. If the overloaded energy is ignored, the energy will be released in an explosive manner, wounding all within its immediate vicinity.
- One-handed: This sword can only be held with one hand.
- Hot And Cold: The core temperature of the blade increases with the amount of energy stored. It starts out cool, then grows into an unbearable heat. When it hits that scorching heat, the blade is overloaded and must be released.
- Use The Force: Only a force user can communicate with a Bes'manda sword. Non-Force Sensitive users cannot guide sword on when and how to unleash its stored energy.
- Force Nullification: When exposed to Force Nullification, the bes'manda blade loses it unique properties and falls dormant. It functions as a normal beskar blade.
- Force Nullification Field: If exposed to a Force Nullification field, the bes'manda blade releases its stored energy in an explosive manner.
- Shatter: The rare corusca gem used as an ornament has a shatterpoint. If struck just right, the entire gem will shatter. Not only is this an expensive loss - but it also could harm the sword's user with shrapnels.
- Goodnight: The Dreamseer Blessing on this sword has multiple drawbacks. The awakened state can only be maintained by the sword for a singular minute, and it takes twenty-four galactic hours to recharge this power. Furthermore, the entire sword suffers side effects like a Dreamseer does. For the next seven galactic hours after the Dreamseer Blessing is used, none of the bes'manda's special properties can be used, reducing the sword to a regular beskad.
- Not A Lightsaber: Despite the brilliant strength and power of this sword, the blade (not assisted by the absorbed energy and power attacking) still cannot cut through solid, thick metal.
DESCRIPTION
On Mandalore, long ago, the House Larraq Plate and Blade could be found at the outskirts of the city of Keldabe. Surrounded by local farmers, the revolutionary farmland smithing family was reknown for its brilliant array of weapons, armor, and new materials and ores. One day, the House was attacked by flying Sithspawn, and the local farmers surrounding the area flocked to help the House in its defense. As a reward, the farmers were gifted an armory of weapons and armor as a thank you for their loyalty and bravery.
One vod on the farmland was a timid, shy Force Sensitive girl named Endraya Kryze. She was as much of a Mandalorian as any other, a warrior and protector of her people. But she was a sweet, gentle, caring girl to people and livestock alike. The local tooka population simply flocked around her. As the young girl entered her pre-teens and discovered his affinity with the Force, The Larraq family crafted a Bes'Manda sword and gifted it to the Mandalorian farmer who helped fight against the Sithspawn that fateful day. This sword would be named Tar'Nau, meaning Starlight.
It would be unfortunate, that the weapon and its owner would never see the day they could become legends. Shortly after passing her Verd'Goten, the girl became a victim of the Purge Of Mandalore. One of countless Mandalorians slaughtered as the Sith violated and tormented Mandalore. Endraya had become separated from Tar'Nau during the chaos of the Purge, as the old farm went up in flames. An unknown relate of Endraya's took Tar'Nau after Endraya's death and locked it away in a secret bunker of Mandalorian weapons and armor, unwilling to let the sacred materials be defiled by Darth Carnifex and Ra Vizlsa after their deaths. With the cache locked away, the sword would lie dormant for decades.
That was, until, the cache was rediscovered by a scouting Mandalorian, surveying Mandalore's wastes. When she found the cache, the sword immediately recognized that Elise Vizsla was quite similar to its old owner... and Tar'Nau took a liking to her.
