- "Terrific! A hat with it's own weather!"

The Helm of Dathka Graush was a Sith artifact, presumably created by the Sith Lord Dathka Graush. It amplified the wearer's abilities to wield the Force, and possibly strengthened the Sword of Ieldis. It also caused atmospheric disturbances within a radius of six kilometers.
In 3963 BBY it was contained in the Jedi Covenant's secret storehouse on the planet Odryn. There it was undergoing inspection and extensive research at the orders of Haazen and Krynda Draay.
Like all the artifacts stored on Odryn, the ill effects of its dark side contamination could be safely contained as long as the helm was encased in nullification resin. Grade three resin was required to protect the surrounding environment from the relic's power. When the helmet was removed from its resin case for analysis, the resulting weather disruptions caused apprehension among the superstitious Feeorin warriors guarding the compound.
Behind the scenes
The helm of Dathka Graush?
In Tales of the Jedi – The Golden Age of the Sith 2, a flashback showing the arrival of the Exiles on Korriban shows a Sith being worshipped by members of his species while wearing a helmet that resembles the Helm of Dathka Graush.[2] Book of Sith: Secrets from the Dark Side identified the Sith King when the Exiles arrived on Korriban as Hakagram Graush,[3] presumably Dathka's descendant.[4] This could mean that the Sith shown in Tales of the Jedi – The Golden Age of the Sith 2 is Hakagram Graush and that he was wearing the Helm of Dathka Graush after it was passed down from Dathka Graush.
