The Darksaber

​

The Legendary Darksaber, an ancient and unique black-bladed Lightsaber that was wielded by the first Mandalorian Jedi: Tarre Vizla. It has become one of the striking Artifacts of Mandalorian History and a unifier of People for those that wield it rightfully, it is said that it is one of the TWO ancient Artifacts with which a Mandalorian has the right to lay claim to become Mand'alor.

The Darksaber dates back all the way to 1032 BBY where the Weapon was crafted by Tarre Vizla and used as his Lighsaber, it was kept in the Jedi Temple upon Coruscant after Vizla's passing but was appropriated illicitly by House Vizla during the Fall of the Old Republic.

The Darksaber itself was passed down from generation to generation by the Ancestors of Pre Vizla who held the Weapon as a form of strength and rebellion against the New Mandalorians that were against the Warrior ways of Mandalore. Pre Vizla, Leader of Death Watch and House Vizla used the Darksaber during conflicts with the New Mandalorians, including his successful takeover of Mandalore and assumed the position of Mand'alor wielding the Darksaber.

It was during a duel that Pre Vizla fell at the hands of the Sith Lord Maul who killed him and laid claim to the Darksaber assuming leadership over Death Watch. Shortly afterwards a Duel between Mauls old Master, Darth Sidious and himself ensued where Maul was bested and taken Prisoner.

The Darksaber remained in the Sundari Royal Palace until it was reclaimed by Maul after his emprisonment was ended due to a Rescue.

During the Imperial Era the Darksaber traded Masters respectively when the young Mandalorian Rebel Sabine Wren retrieved the Darksaber from the Nightsister Lair on Dathomir where it had resided.

Later on the Darksaber was offered to Lady Bo-Katan Kryze, the Sister of the former Duchess of Mandalore who took it up unrightfully after having it offered to her dooming the Mandalorian people under her leadership.

Following the Great Purge of Mandalore the Darksaber was known to be lost forever, Bo-Katan and her Nite Owls have ever since sought it out and attempted to reclaim it.

Moff Gideon, Leader of an Imperial remnant on Nevarro was in posession of the Darksaber and yielded the Saber to the infamous Mandalorian Bounty Hunter Din Djarin during their duel making Din Djarin the last and final rightful Wielder of the Darksaber.

Today the Darksaber is assumed to be lost to time yet some rumor that it was hidden away on Mandalore both as a sign of tribute to the cause aswell as to hide it, the exact location of it is unknown yet many a Mandalorian has made the Journey to try and find it... for naught. Mayhaps one day a Mandalorian worthy of Leadership may find and claim it.

Write up overall looks good. For an artifact as important as the darksaber, though, I think you need to put something in the intent section that states the actual acquisition of the weapon needs to be DM'd by a staff approved DM.

Not every single thread - like as an example you did a string of 4 threads to figure out its location - just the last one where the weapon would actually be acquired by a player.

Adjustments made as requested.

Let me know if you need anything else changed up.
