-The Sith Order-
Posted: Tue Mar 06, 2018 7:42 pm
The Sith Empire, recognized also as the Red Cauldron and simply, the Sith Order. It is an organization of the most vile villains ever to scour the face of the galaxy. As a Faction, the Sith are quite unlike most other Factions here on Sithlore.
As the rest of scattered pockets of ‘Sith’ roam wild and structureless, the current reigning Sith Order is being rebuilt in a more sophisticated manner. Committing to ‘Work together for the greater good of the faction and slaughtering each other later’, the Sith are gathering their forces quickly, and unstoppably. Adding to it’s might collectively, the Harbingers of Nightmares are nearing their climax. The more valuable Sith are comprised of Force Users. Force Sensitives in this galaxy are in fact, few and far between. They are a coveted resource and a treasure. To be a Force Sensitive is to be a being far ahead and held above all others.
What this means is the bulk of the Sith Faction is actually filled with non-Force Sensitives which fill the ranks of the Sith Navy and Army. The Sith Navy and Army holds a formal ranking structure just like any military would. However these men and women of the military are fanatical to their cause of service, not to a country but to their masters, the Sith. They serve unquestionably, as they know what happens to those who dare to pry…
Sith themselves are comprised of a hierarchy beginning with the Dark Lord of the Sith. Aside from advancing their own designs, the Dark Lord presides over the Throne of Ziost from where they rule their Empire. The Dark Lord and their chosen favored Apprentices, should he choose to have any, are the ONLY three that shall bear the title of Darth. No one else may be under this title until he/she either removes the Dark Lord or the favored Apprentices, and is deemed worthy in the Sith way. Only the strong survive and only the most powerful shall reign over the weak. The two Apprentices of the Dark Lord are to be considered the second in command, or the Betas of all the Sith and their word shall be heeded as the Dark Lord's own.
The two Apprentices, also known as the Hands, presides as a member of the Dark Council, named the Cerberus, when there is need for major confirmation of a decision on behalf of the Sith Order. Usually though the Hands do not interfere with the counseling in the Cerberus. The Cerberus is comprised of 3 Sith Lords, each who have not only proven their mastery of their class, but remain uncontested in both skill and leadership. They have been specifically chosen by the Dark Ruler to lead their head of the Cerberus council. The Arcane, Knowledge & Intelligence, and Military Enforcement. The Arcane governs the Academies and preserves history and artifacts, headed by the leading Sith Arcanist/Priestess, while Military Enforcement is designed to ensure that the Sith in the other Heads are to remain loyal and to enforce current Sith philosophy, ran by the Master/Lady of Battle. Knowledge and Intelligence, led by the Phantom, serve as the eyes and ears of the Cerberus, the Military as the fangs and claws, while the Arcane hosts the magic.
The Dark Council, aside from the special session called by the Hands or the Dark Ruler, periodically gather within the Great Citadel on the Sith Capital of Ziost. Any members of the Dark Council may call a meeting. The Head Lords, unless under a mission directed by the Hands or the Emperor shall come in person to Ziost during these meetings. The rest of the time when not called, the Sith Lords are out within the realm of the Sith Empire or beyond, expanding their base of power; spreading the teachings of the Sith to their dominion and populaces of their worlds, ensuring that the Sith Code and philosophy becomes a way of life for the citizenry of the Sith Empire. They are likely to expand their dominion by gaining abilities, skills, collecting holocrons and artifacts, building forts and castles, and above all they compete with each other to gain more power and ultimately to gain the favor of the Dark Lord.
While raging war across enemies to and fro, the Sith have made both allies and enemies across their existence. Despite their usefulness, alliances have been battered, broken, and ultimately fall away, as the Sith continue their pursuit into ultimate and relentless dominion.
