Rod of Ages

"We originally contacted you looking for an artifact known as the Rod of Ages."
―Elecia Zeveron[1]

The Rod of Ages, also known as the Sacred Rod,[5] was a Force artifact, one of a set of three rods that were associated with the Nameless[2] creatures that fed on the Living Force.[9] While the Rod of Seasons and Rod of Daybreak could individually, or combined as the Rod of Power, control the Nameless, the Rod of Ages could cancel out the powers granted by the other rods.[2] In 382 BBY,[10] the two leaders of the Path of the Open Hand Werth Plouth, the Herald, and Elecia Zeveron, the Mother, contacted the smuggler Radicaz Dobbs, who specialized in Force artifacts, regarding the Rod of Ages.[1] Over a century later, Jedi Padawan Amadeo Azzazzo and Jedi Knight Reath Silas sought to find the rod in their fight against the Nihil who utilized the Nameless.[6] The two, working alongside former Jedi Master Cohmac Vitus eventually located the artifact and recovered it.[7]

  4. ↑ Star Wars: Timelines dates Starlight Beacon's destruction to 230 BBY. The implementation of the Guardian Protocols, which Star Wars: The High Republic Character Encyclopedia places in 229 BBY, took place one week after Starlight Beacon's fall according to The High Republic – Shadows of Starlight 1. As The High Republic Adventures (2023) 4 takes place one year and two weeks after the destruction of Starlight Beacon, it must be set in 228 BBY. Since the events of The High Republic Adventures (2023) 6 are set immediately following the fourth issue and depict the expansion of the Stormwall, the expansion must have taken place in the same year. Meanwhile, the events of "Tales from the Occlusion Zone: No Big Deal" include the Stormwall's expansion and also depict the start of Pikka Adren's pregnancy. A later story, "Tales from the Occlusion Zone: Sparks Fly," states that Adren is eight months pregnant during its events, indicating that it is set eight months after "No Big Deal," and therefore one year, eight months, and two weeks after the fall of Starlight Beacon. "Sparks Fly" is set during the Battle of Eriadu, an event that begins in The High Republic Adventures Phase III - The Wedding Spectacular. As StarWars.com Star Wars: The High Republic Chronological Reader's Guide on StarWars.com (article) (backup link) places The High Republic Adventures – Echoes of Fear 4 between the events of "No Big Deal" and The Wedding Spectacular, its events must also be set in 228 BBY.
