Rod of Power

The Rod of Power was a Force artifact formed from combining the Rod of Daybreak and the Rod of Seasons, two of a set of three rods used control the Nameless species. Unlike the two rods individually, the Rod of Power provided complete control of the Nameless, the creatures unable to resist. At least if the user of the Rod was trying to control multiple at once, however, the blood-lust of hungry Nameless enabled them to put up some resistance. At least when Nameless were close by, the Rod of Power could also be used to induce similar effects upon Force-sensitives as the Nameless themselves.
During the Battle of Jedha,The High Republic (2022) 8 in 382 BBY,Star Wars: Timelines the Herald of the Path of the Open Hand cult, Werth Plouth, united the Rod of Seasons and Rod of Daybreak. He "tested" it by using it to order the Leveler, one of the Nameless, to kill Jedi Master Leebon. However, the Rod was split into its two parts once again during an ensuing fight against Jedi. Elecia Zeveron, the Mother of the Path of the Open Hand, would later unite the two Rods again shortly before the Night of Sorrow. She and the Path's Guide, Marda Ro, used the Rod of Power to attack the Jedi with the Nameless during the Night of Sorrow.
After the battle, Marda left with the Rod of Seasons, while her cousin Yana Ro smuggled out the Rod of Daybreak without her knowledge. Marda's descendants thus only held part of the complete rod,The High Republic: Light of the Jedi which nonetheless was passed down through the Ro family. In time, Marda's descendant Marchion Ro came to acquire the pieces to the Nameless control rod.The High Republic: The Rising Storm In 228 BBY, while investigating the blight plague on the planet Vixoseph I, Marchion used the Rod of Power to walk into the blight, remaining unharmed.
