Compelled by the spirit of his former master, Lord Qordis, Darth Bane traveled to Dxun and entered the ancient tomb of the Sith Lord Freedon Nadd. Sequestered within the tomb, Darth Bane was further guided by Freedon Nadd's own apparition. Darth Bane emerged from the tomb a changed man. Fortified by the Arcane Knowledge of the True SIth, Bane instigated The Rule of the Two, declaring no more than two Sith--a Master and an apprentice--should exist at one tyme. Only in this way would the Sith become strong enough to defeat the Jedi and assume their true roles as Masters of the Galaxy. Darth Bane is creditted as being The Architect of the Sith.

When I first set out to create this helm, I envisioned welding sheets of brass together to make the form. This approach was deemed too dangerous as the process of fusing brass produces deadly gasses.

By the tyme I had finished my second concept I was well into realizing the helm as a sculpture.
Casting this piece was a trial. I almost lost three months' work in a 24hr period. And while my goal of making a professional quality rubber mold was dashed, I was able to salvage the casting. I photographed it at this point to demonstrate the difference between the polished and rough surface.

Hundreds of these will make up Darth Bane's body armour.

That is a very unique piece.
