Holocron of Naga Sadow
- "Ask me of my heritage, and I shall tell you. Ask me of my ambitions, and you shall know them. Ask me for my hand in battle, and I shall likely lend you both. But ask me the secrets of Sith alchemy, and I would ask you for three measures of blood: one from a person you love, one from a person you hate, and one from yourself."
- ―Naga Sadow's words, as recorded in his holocron
The Holocron of Naga Sadow[4] was the Sith holocron created by the Sith Lord Naga Sadow[1] to record his knowledge of Sith alchemy[3] sometime to the collapse of the Sith Empire in the Great Hyperspace War in 5000 BBY.[2] The holocron was recovered from a Sith library by the Jedi Order, and from it the Jedi learned much of the history of the Sith species and their relation to the Dark Jedi from the Hundred-Year Darkness.[1] Thousands of years later, the Sith Lord Darth Sidious acquired the holocron, and incorporated Sadow's teachings into his own writings, The Creation of Monsters, and also included a recording of the holocron's contents in the Telos Holocron. In order to access the holocron's alchemical knowledge, Sadow's Gatekeeper demanded that users perform a blood ritual of Sith magic that he claimed would kill the unworthy.[3]
