Holocron of Naga Sadow

The Holocron of Naga Sadow, also known as Sadow's Holocron, was the Sith holocron created by the Sith Lord Naga Sadow to record his knowledge of Sith alchemy sometime to the collapse of the Sith Empire in the Great Hyperspace War in 5000 BBY. 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. 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.
