The Curse
During their occupation of Voss, the ancient Sith conducted many experiments, including the exposure of creatures with strong connections to the dark side to a Force-enriched world. These test subjects were abandoned, however, when the people of ancient Voss exterminated the Sith who had conquered their homeworld. The cities and temples built by the Sith quickly fell into disrepair, until almost no sign was left of the invaders. But deep below the structure known as the Shrine of Silence, one of the Sith's forgotten experiments has continued to thrive.
Whatever beast "The Curse" was originally has been lost to memory. In the millennia since it was first brought to Voss, the Curse has evolved, growing in size, drawing on the essence of all it devours, gaining sentience and many unnatural abilities. It can corrupt and confuse, it shows horrific visions to any unsuspecting victim that stumbles into its lair. The Curse's prey will lash out violently against anything they see, and those who survive the gruesome hallucinations become subservient to the monster. Even the spirits of Voss are not immune to the Curse's commands: it can tear openings in the barrier of Voss's spirit world, summon its inhabitants, and compel them to obey.
