Legend

this was the term used to describe the version of the Tessent that was attributed to the ancient Kings of Archais who united the tribes of Alsakan. Like the Ayrou Tessent, it resembled a large farlus hawk with the head of a felinx. According to legend, the Alaskan Tessent was a representation of the guardian of Saml Previl and the ancient Kings of Archais, who united Alsakan under a common leader. The Alsakan Tessent was a symbol of patriotism, although many treasure hunters believed that it was also the key to unlocking an ancient storehouse full of riches. The Alsakan Tessent disappeared sometime later, and several legends and rumors of its final resting place were told throughout Moddell Sector. One rumor held that it reappeared in the possession of a member of the Guard of Aldera during the last decades of the Old Republic. The Guardsman was part of the team which estalished the orbital telescopes around Ast Kikorie, but was on a shuttle that was ferrying supplies from Ast Kikorie when it crashed back onto the planet. The Guardsman kept the Alsakan Tessent close to his downed ship, preferring to live in anonymity rather than revealing what he possessed. Another rumor claimed that the Alsakan Tessent was stolen in ancient times by Jilst Bindalin, who died on Sarafur with the Tessent in his possession. Note that Star Wars Gamer, issue 9, also claims that this particular Tessent was of Alderaanian origin.
