At the southern part of the Sith Academy, speak with Overseer Ragate to start this mission. This is a level 8 quest.
Overseer Ragate: Come here, child. Do you intend to explore the Academy? To know the world that gave birth to the Sith? You should linger here awhile. I am Overseer Ragate, a keeper of the old was. I sense you have potential, and I can help you, if you like.
You can say:
I keep hearing that
Help me?
Not right now
Choose the second option to make her elaborate on this. She tells you that you have power and strength in the Force, but you must be tested beyond the trials your masters have set for you. Overseer Ragate administers the right of blood and bone - a ritual performed beyond the doorway. It is a rite acolytes have participated in for ten thousand years. You can tell her:
I'm listening
How amusing
I suppose you're that old?
Choose the first option. She tells you that in the chambers, past the gateway, there is a colony of Shyracks - her leather winged, razor taloned children and their brood. They guard a mountain of skulls - an altar to the Academy's failures. You must reach the bones before proceeding. You can say:
Then what?
I enjoy the gruesome part
Hurry it up
Choose the first option, to ask her what to do once you reach the bones. She tells you that you will have to claim a skull from the mountain and return to the antechamber. Soak the skull in the blood pool and come back to Overseer Ragate. Once bone has turned red, she will look and see your nature written in crimson stains, and probably a glimpse of your future.
Your options now are:
Interesting
No money?
Idiot woman [Refuse quest]
Choose first option to admit that this sounds intriguing. She says that to complete the rite is to accept one's death, to steal one's own mortality and drown it in the fluid of life. That is the symbiotic purpose. But it is also a trial of power, as are all Sith trials - a trial to test strength and to grant it. She will await you. If you die, she will forget you.

The Blood Legacy
Overseer Ragate suggests you complete the rite of the blood and bone. Should you prove successful, Ragate will offer a glimpse into your future. To complete this Rite, you must first claim a skull from a bone pile protected by shyracks within the Sith Academy
Your first task is to collect a skull from the Altar of Bones.
Note: This is a pretty challenging quest, especially if you are less than level 8. If possible, do this in a group. Otherwise, make sure to have medkits ready and use a constitution stim before attempting the quest.
Enter the Ritual Chambers to the south of the quest giver. Defeat the Shyrack Maulers inside. When you kill the first Shyrack Mauler, you will trigger the following bonus mission:
Ritual Cleansing
Shyracks fill the ritual chambers for the rite of blood and bone in the Sith Academy. Put an end to this infestation. Kill 6 Shyrack Maulers.
Keep going south, and continue to kill the Shyrack Maulers (Level 7 Shredders) along the way. In the southern end of the chamber, there will be an altar with lots of skulls on it. Interact with the altar to receive the Ritual Skull:
Ritual Skull
Mission Item
Use: Soaks the skull in the blood pool
A skull you extracted from the pile of acolyte bones in the ritual chambers.
Your objective now is to soak the Skull in the blood pool which is located in the next room to the north. To soak the skull, just stand on the pool of blood to the north, open your inventory, go to mission items, and right click on the Ritual Skull. Once you have bathed your skull in blood, some sort of creature is summoned to test you, a Blood Fiend. You now need to defeat the Bloodfiend to prove your worth. The Bloodfiend is a level 6 boss creature with 1130 HP. This fight can be tough especially if you are lower then level 8 and have no group or companions. Have a medpac ready to use if you run low on health.
If the Bloodfiend defeats you, you will find yourself outside the Ritual Chamber and the mission will fail, forcing you to start it from the beginning.
If you kill the Bloodfiend, go back to Overseer Ragate. She tells you that she heard the screams of the shyracks and the rippling of the blood pool, she heard the sound of deaths. She knows you brought the red stained skull and she is pleased. If you tell her it was easy, she will say that you have a darker heart than most. The skull you carry, your rage, your actions drowned it with the dark side. It is a part of you. She can read it. She can offer a small gift, but more than that, she can offer a glimpse of your destiny. There is much she can read in the bones.
She tells you your future. This will differ depending on what class you are. If you are playing as a Sith Inquisitor, she tells you that when your final trial comes, to beware the shadow killer. It can be bound, but never controlled. If you are playing a Sith Warrior, she tells you that the key to your success is a small and sorry creature, but you can shape it in your image, if you so desire. Both fortunes refer to the companion you get at the end of the class storyline.
She tells you to prize what you have accomplished here. You are part of a tradition almost as old as Korriban itself, and you have done well. You get a nice experience and credits reward, as well some (green) leggings.
This concludes the mission, The Blood Legacy.
