Soul Stone's shrine

Built on the planet Vormir at an unknown point in time, this shrine serves as the hidden location of the Soul Stone. The builders of the shrine made it so that if an individual wished to acquire the Soul Stone, the only way they could do so was by sacrificing the person they loved the most. This sacrifice was permanent, and could not be reversed once complete.
==History==
===Construction===
At an unknown time in the history of the universe, a shrine was constructed on Vormir by the Celestials, three of which being the Ones. This shrine was built to safeguard the Soul Stone and ensure that nobody could claim it: not without a heavy price.
===Old Republic Era===
During the era of the Old Republic, the powerful Sith Lord Darth Vitiate, otherwise known as the Sith Emperor, discovered the location of the Soul Stone and sought to acquire it for himself. However, Vitiate was incapable of acquiring the Stone because he did not truly love anyone.
===New Guardian===
In 1945 CE, the Red Skull vanished from Earth upon holding the Tesseract while trying to finish off Captain America, leading him to be teleported by the Space Stone to Vormir, where he was cursed to serve as the keeper of the Soul Stone.
===Judgement of Soul===
Some time later in the year 2 BBY, the Soul Stone seemed to gain an interest in the legendary Jedi Knight Jarik Shan. For purposes unknown it stretched out its influence to bridge a connection to him, using the merge of a Jedi and Sith holocron as the conduit to do so. When the holocrons were joined together by Ezra Bridger and Maul, the Soul Stone used the opportunity to reach out to Shan and pulled his spirit to Vormir through a vision, where he was greeted by the Keeper. The Keeper introduced himself to Shan, but before they could continue further the connection between the two holocrons was severed, thus ending the vision.
Wanting answers to this strange vision, Shan later attempted to recreate the event by joining his holocron with a Sith holocron, being assisted in this by Mara Jade. With another connection established, the Soul Stone once again pulled Shan's spirit to the shrine on Vormir, where he was greeted once more by the Keeper. The Keeper revealed the history of the Soul Stone to Shan, and why it had developed an interest in him. However at this same time, the powerful Force-sensitive being known as Snoke used this as an opportunity to acquire the Soul Stone for himself.
Using his great powers over the Force, Snoke crafted an illusion of Shan's wife, Ahsoka Tano, who was lost on Malachor I months earlier, in the hopes of manipulating Shan into performing the sacrifice needed to acquire the Soul Stone. However, Shan eventually managed to see through the illusion due to Snoke not realizing his Force bond with her had been broken. Shan then identified Snoke as being the one behind the illusion as well as why he was incapable of acquiring the Stone for himself, as Snoke shared the same flaw that Vitiate did.
The dark sider taunted Shan afterwards, before Shan was suddenly struck with a vision of Ahsoka facing execution at the hands of Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine, something that amused Snoke greatly. After cutting through Snoke's illusion, Shan proclaimed to the Keeper that he would never sacrifice the ones he loved for the Soul Stone. The Keeper warned Shan that another would eventually come searching for the Stone, seeking to use it for deadly purposes, and that unlike Snoke he was in fact capable of love.
