Thrall - Greatsaber design (Patreon)

I finally got around to designing thrall’s stolen greatsaber! It’s still a lightsaber, but it’s shapes and weighted like a great sword, needing to be wielded with two hands. The second portion of the sword is a dagger that attached to the back end to add a second blade to the great sword. He often uses only the dagger at the start of his journey but slowly transitions into needing to use the greatsaber and eventually even mastering it. At which point, he discovers that his smaller dagger is actually a part of a bigger whole that was separated from its partner.

The original greatsaber was owned by the original progenitor of his cult, which started as an offshoot of the Jedi faith, a pair of force sensitive users, one sith, one Jedi, who didn’t feel like they belonged in either faith. This ‘grey’ area is was turned into its own way of practicing a mastery of the force but was eventually corrupted by Sith intentions over the course of hundreds of years. The saber was divided and thrall’s half brother inherited the greatsaber, as it was seen as a symbol of the leader of the cult.

I’m still deciding if thrall stole the greatsaber of if it accidentally came into his care, but either way he begins wanting to return the blade but over the course of learning about the world outside the cult, he decides to keep it. Over time, the colour shifts from a classic sith-red to a more golden hue, and eventually a greenish tint that reflects Thrall’s true personality.
