Expedition report
Lord Dyiasizi, Sith Beastmaster of Old

---

The investigated site serves as the final resting place for Lord Dyiasizi, a Beastmaster of Old. The visage of Dyiasizi has been immortalized in stone with a carving above the entrance way. The tomb harboured a small amount of runical traps to bar the initial entrance walkways, not unlike those documented in site Eshur'za village expedition, albeit of a different nature and structure. The remains of warden beasts and dwelling pests have been recovered and removed correspondingly.

The tomb has been secured, remains under guard and constant surveillance. A veritable trove of ancient jewelry, ritual weaponry, studies and designs of beasts, alchemically and not, along with personal journals and other writings have been recovered; for the present and future generations of Sith to maintain, learn and grow from.

Documentation pertaining to notable designs and motifs within the site, as well as the extracted artefacts that have been deemed to be of standout worth compared to the rest:

Entry A1: Shyrack and Tuk'ata hound statues, positioned in the premier chamber of the tomb and mirroring each other from opposite walls. The creatures have either been aggrandized in their display or they are depictions of much larger specimens, potentially alchemically modified or mutated variants.

Entry A2: Imbued inner resting chamber door. A contraption that appears to be connected to some kind of power source deeper within the structure's construct [NOTES REDACTED]. An offering of the blood of the specimen from Entry B1 into the small basin mounted into its centre appears to activate the contraption and grand passage beyond.

Entry A3:  An elaborate marble statue depicting a tall and lean Pureblood male (Lord Dyiasizi), clad in an ornate robe. Three large tuk'ata loom above and behind him. Connected to the pedestal of the statue is the coffin itself, the skeletonized remains of the beastmaster still preserved within. The lack of any notable fractures or otherwise damage to the bones indicate it was either a quiet passing or a precise killing.

Entry B1: Mutated (and possibly modified) Tuk'ata warden. One of the three beasts depicted in Entry A3, this one had grown to massive proportions. Lacking the armour of its siblings, likely having outgrown it or seen it ripped off at an earlier point. Killed in combat and succumbed to the runic defences built into the walkway as documented above. Portions of the skeleton remain and pieces of flesh and blood have been collected and sampled. Samples are presently in storage within the Preserver vaults.

Entries B2 and B3:  The skeletonized remains of the other two Tuk'atas, found in the inner burial chamber. Guarding his place of rest from both sides until their own final hour, their modified harnesses and battle armour are still largely intact and preserved, attached to their bodies. Specimens are observed to be notably smaller than the one from Entry B1. Remains have been transferred to storage within the Preserver vaults.

Entry C1: An ornate halberd, fashioned out of mundane steel. Remarkably well preserved despite the years, with little to no wear or tear upon it. The decorative depictions on its ax are of a tuk'ata hound, with its tail raised up high and primed to strike, its tip sharp alike a stinger. The other is a clenched fist motif, a familial or House sigil. A ceremonial execution weapon, this did not see frequent employment on the battlefield. Presently in storage within the Preserver vaults.

Entry C2: A physical chronicler that was written and maintained by Lord Dyiasizi himself. It documents his techniques for taming and controlling beasts, dietary plans, propositions and plans for alchemical modifications and several profiles of different creatures, detailing both their inclinations and physical specifications. Presently in storage within the Preserver vaults. A digitalized transcript has been made available to Lord Sarias.

Entry C3: An embellished golden amulet, with an attached long metallic chain. Its centerpiece bears a beast claw motif. Presently in storage within the Preserver vaults.

Entry C4: A silver signet ring, bearing the sigil of Lord Dyiasizi, the same fist motif as observed in Entry C1 is present here. Presently in storage within the Preserver vaults.

Along with these, several other pieces of jewelry and smaller trinkets have been secured and collected. A variety of these are clearly are the works of a less skilled hand, likely offerings by less notable figures or perhaps even journeyman craftsmen. Likewise, they have been contained within the Preserver vaults.
