CHRONICLE INFORMATION

After the formation of the Sith Empire at the end of the Imperial-Warlord Conflict, in the wake of the 400 Year Darkness of the Gulag Plague, Darth Sidic had founded a tenuous alliance of Sith Lord's which brought to his table the spoils of conquest against the earliest enemies of the Empire's rise to power. Unfortunately, while Darth Sidic maintained himself as the sole member of the Dark Council, other Sith Lord's became inclined to seek out glory and power for themselves, undercutting his authority altogether. Eventually in the tumultuous period to follow, the name of Darth Sidic became lost to history, his fate unknown.

During this period, at least two Sith Lord's are known to have directly assaulted Republic space and even engaged in combat against not only the Jedi, but their Grandmaster. This level of infamy was mostly attributed to the character known as Darth Moridin, but had assistance from the enigmatic figure Darth Apparatus. The infamy would ultimately play into his favor, as when the question of leadership came up in the Council Chambers of Korriban, only he had the sway to set forward a rather short, and formulating debate in regards to the future of the Sith Order and its "Empire".

The crux of his argument, came with the idea of sharing power. A historically unfavorable style of leadership in Sith history but not unprecedented. Through the division of responsibility, Darth Moridin sought to unify the heavily stratified Sith Order into an imperial entity ruled by a trinity of Sith Lords of great renown and power. To keep the other Sith Lords in line and appeased, he additionally suggested the remaining masters of the order, to act as advisers to the Pillars of Strength, Power, and Knowledge. When asked, Moridin did not entertain the idea that an Emperor could be established.

Darth Voracitos was the first to step forward among the many Sith Lords, immediately laying claim to the sphere of politicians and historians, to become the ever present Pillar of Knowledge. Disciple, another figure of pure enigma, was the second to step forward and lay claim to the sphere of alchemists and sorcerers, to become the elusive Pillar of Power. Pleased with the selection of volunteers, Darth Moridin was quick to seal the triumvirate properly, laying claim to the sphere of warriors and assassins, as the mighty Pillar of Strength.

There were many who would have challenged Voracitos in particular due to his lack of repute, their misconceptions of his appearance, and his general condescending attitude to all other forms of life. Fortunately for the early years of the Empire, Voracitos would be halted from lashing out against the would-be challengers due to the authoritative charisma of Darth Moridin, and the eldritch presence of power Disciple held within. Thus, straight from the authority of the Pillar of Strength, Darth Moridin was successful in his attempt to stabilize the Empire through the introduction of a smaller, more capable alliance of Sith Lords than the loose "council" that had made it up previously.

The Triumvirate would prove to be a successful mode of government for a short period of time, between 815 ABY and 828 ABY, but as with most alliances of its kind, it was only a matter of time before it was dissolved in favor of one of the pillars. The Triumvirate was a period of transition for the Empire, but it was a formative one that laid the foundation for the future rise of Darth Moridin, into a true Sith Emperor of the Sith Empire, the imperial authority many successors would take claim to in the following years.

Alright, I will be honest in that this submission touches on a period of Chaos history way before my time. That said, this seems like a fairly straightforward hierarchical accounting of a sort of interregnum period for the OG Sith Empire, and given it deals with the aftermath of an already approved chronicle, I feel comfortable passing this along to my slavering overlords.
