Rod of Seasons

OnACanonArticle

The Rod of Seasons was a Force artifact[1] capable of controlling members of[5] the Nameless species.[6] On its own, the staff attracted[1] and provided a degree of control over a Nameless. However, only by combining the Rod of Seasons with the Rod of Daybreak, thereby forming the Rod of Power, could one secure total control over the creatures.[7]

One of a set of three, the rod was once in the possession of the Hynestian royal family before being stolen by members of the Path of the Open Hand, a cult which believed the Force needed to be "free" of the influence of Force-users such as the Jedi.[1]

Two Jedi, Zallah Macri and Kevmo Zink, came to Dalna, where the Path was based, to find the artifact. However, they were killed by the Nameless named the Leveler. Subsequently, Path member Yana Ro discovered that the creature was attracted to the rod.[1] After the Night of Sorrow, Marda Ro escaped with the Rod of Seasons.[7]

Around a century and a half later, the rod was owned by Marchion Ro, the Eye of the Nihil. He desired revenge against the Jedi,[4] and sought out another one of the rods and the Leveler as part of his grand plan.[5] In the end, he reforged the Rod of Power.[8]
