Sith amulet



"Look, my friend--These baubles were created by the ancient Sith&hellip;to concentrate the power of the dark side."

- King Ommin to Satal & Aleema Keto

A Sith amulet, sometimes known as a Sith talisman, was a powerful Sith artifact used to amplify the effects of Sith magic. Sith amulets resembled jewelry, and were usually worn around the neck or hand in a medallion or bracelet style. These "baubles" were used by Sith Lords to channel immense dark side power.

History
Sih amulets were popular during the days of the Old Sith Empire. Ancient Sith Lords such as Ludo Kressh and Naga Sadow owned and wore Sith amulets to amplify their power. Another Ancient Sith Lord named Karness Muur, created his own unique amulet, called the Muur Talisman.

Exar Kun acquired a Sith amulet and used it to vanquish the spirit of Freedon Nadd, as well as Naga Sadow's abominable dark side monsters in the Massassi temples on Yavin 4. King Ommin of Onderon also owned numerous Sith amulets, one of which he wore occasipnally around his neck. In 3,998 BBY, Ommin gifted another of his amulets to the future Krath leader Satal Keto, which was later acquired by the then- Dark Jedi Ulic Qel-Droma. Incidentally, it was later discovered that Qel-Droma's amulet was the mate of Kun's. Thus while the pair dueled in the Krath's Iron Citadel, their amulets recognized each other and sprang to life. Spirits of ancient Sith Lords appeared, among whom was that of the Dark Lord Marka Ragnos, who declared Kun and Qel-Droma the harbingers of a new Sith Empire.

Sith amulets could grant the wielder the ability to read and understand ancient Sith text, which was how Satal Keto learned read the Sith magic book he stole. In combat, Exar Kun's Sith amulet could channel dark side power into a beam of lethal energy to be blasted outwards from the wielder's hand. The Sith amulet of Lord Rin Shuuir could be used to heal grave wounds. Finally, a Sith amulet could generate images like a holoprojector; Exar Kun applied this ability to show the Jedi a Force-projected image of how Kun destroyed Freedon Nadd.

An amulet belonging to the Dark Lord Kaan ended up being integrated into the glove of the later Dark Lord Darth Vader. The Amulet of Kalara was another Sith amulet.
