Velok Brokentusk
A simple fortuneteller
OOC/ Based on this thread, but for bad guys. Goal is to visit a ton of the Sith temples and academies that folks have established over the years. To participate, just post a picture or two (sourced) - maybe stock images or something from Artstation or Deviantart - and add some in-character commentary. No posting order, no pressure, toss in a picture and some thoughts whenever you feel like it.

My grandfather, Velok the Younger, was trained as a Sith Lord. His father was the Last Blackguard and a Sith Lord in his own right. I know the dark side of the Force through their legacy and as one of the Toglannoq, but my horizons have been limited. There's just been so much else to do. But I know that my people's place in the Sith Empire exists in relation to our relationship with the Force, as a matter of politics. I'm not a Sith, but it's in my people's best interests that I become so. These little people's traditions are inescapably important.
Grandfather always taught me that there are a dozen kinds of Sith, not just as a matter of personality but in terms of values. He's suggested that I visit the Sith temples and academies, mostly those related to the Empire. He says I should see what's out there and learn what I want to become. So we will see where that goes.
My first visit: a small, deserted academy on Eadu, a remote world that the Bryn'adul overran. I went by stealth ship and kept my presence suppressed. The entire location is forgotten and has little to recommend it. Along with a handful of associates and other Toglannoq, I examined the Sith training grounds, tasted the echoes in the Force they left behind, and got a feel for how they lived. I do not know if their priorities will ever be mine. So far, the Sith leave me underwhelmed.
The boys and I spent some time in this wrecked chamber before we sneaked off Eadu again. We took power from the echoes of the abandoned academy and scavenged a few useful items, like Sith training tools and lightsaber components. I even found a good-quality kyber crystal:
