Entry #004

"Forth entry, and long over due, Plooma and war held my attentions more than study. But now I have some time to consider the past and the future. It is known by al that Korriban was the place of birth for the Sith, but it was Ziost that the Sith were raised, it was our capital after the death of the First Sith'ari, and it is where the Jen'jidai found the original Sith. After Korriban was left as the grave world of our people the early House Saltaeon relocated to Ziost and made our home there until it was later abandoned during the Great Hypserpsace War, when we came to Dromund Kaas.

For thousands of years Ziost was the home and center of House Saltaeon, but when abandoned much knowledge was lost. When the Sith Empire returned to the galaxy those many decades ago it was my grandfather, Lord Saltaeon, that saw the family estate or temple on Ziost reclaimed. Some lost knowledge was recovered and all was well, until Emperor Vitiate destroyed that world and all upon it."

The destruction of Ziost was a great loss to the whole Empire, not just to my family. Though we had recovered what we could from the old estate and relearnt much of our history from it. Though I never once visited, there was supposed to be miles of vaults built beneath an unassuming estate building, these vaults acted as either storage for artefacts or as places of ritual to practice alchemical arts. Though rather interestingly, when my father became Patriarch, he had a number of these vaults destroyed and knowledge locked away from the residents. I can half way support that; the estate on Ziost had been granted to a branch family while the primary family remained on Dromund Kaas. And if I were to believe the rumours, then one of my distant relatives, Hujas Saltaeon was burried alive in those vaults.

Hujas saw himself as quite the alchemist himself, if he spent so much time in those vaults then it may stand to reason a cruel punishment would be for him to be burried in them. However the official story is that he died in the war. I cannot confirm this, I may not travel to Ziost to investigate the ruins as much as I may. Even in their current state I would believe they hold many tales of my families past, perhaps records of what life was like for Saltaeon thousands of years ago. What family relics could be found in the above-ground estate, weapons and armour. Or what secrets remain in those vaults. Genetic codes for Sithspawn? Holocrons? Oubliettes?

Ziost holds a wealth of  information that I hunger for, and yet it is held from me. I may one day visit. But not for some time, not while the world remains cursed and so long as it is forbidden by my family. They fear their own secrets, and fear I will use what I find there to take Saltaeon for myself as is my right. Their fears are well placed. If I ever visit Ziost, I will write about what I find, for now I can only write about what may be there. A ruined estate nestled in a valley, used for the creation of Sithspawn and weapons, onced prized as one of the greatest breeding grounds of Sithspawn outside of Korriban."
