The Sith

[Darth Morgoth]

SITH POWERS ​

Sith powers work exactly like their Jedi counterparts. Dark side characters ​

have access to the three Force skill's Alter, Sense, Control upon which all Force skills are based. The Sith powers are separate from the other Force powers, simply because they reflect a different philosophy and means of contacting and channeling the Dark Side of the Force and the Force in general. ​

​

SITH DISCIPLINES​

​

Like the Jedi, the Sith developed areas of study that focused on particular types ​

of Force effects. Though these did not evolve into formal schools, personal ​

preference caused many magicians to concentrate on those powers that most ​

interested them.​

​

GENERAL ​

Some Sith powers defy categorization, or belong in all discipline equally. ​

These basic effects fall under the heading of general Dark side powers. Many​

form the basis for the other effects- those more complex powers that require ​

an understanding of and proficiency in other lesser powers.​

​

BODY ​

Powers in this discipline run the trade route from simple healing rites to ​

complicated rituals involving the creation of Sithspawn-hideous monsters bred ​

from the stock of naturally evolved creatures. Some cultures have labeled these ​

sorcerers as necromancers, but this nomenclature thrusts the discipline into ​

the area of superstitious alchemy-tales and legends laced with equal parts mystic ​

blather and pseudo-scientific prattle. The Force transcends technology based ​

tricks and allows feats that science cannot duplicate.​

​

ENERGY ​

Certain Force powers summon energy from the user's surroundings and direct it ​

at a target for some purpose. The form of Energy include lightning, fire, ​

gravity, and other naturally occurring forces. ​

Energy powers tend to have the most noticeable effects, preventing the user ​

from attempting to keep his machinations secret, as he would be able to do if ​

he were using powers from his Mind discipline. Sith interested in this area, ​

therefore, tend to have unstable personalities, from obsessive and brooding to ​

outright maniacal.​

​

ILLUSIONS ​

Many magicians enthralled by the dark side favor the aspect of the Force that ​

allows them to fool the senses of their victims, in a twisted testament to the ​

power of the mind over the body. The sensation experienced by the targets of​

such effects appears all too real- but they exits only in the dreamscape ​

playground of the mind, that area where creativity and imagination normally ​

flourish. But in the case of this perverted Sith power it becomes the haunted ​

battleground of the shadow-forms that impact the affected individual as if the ​

delusional phantoms had actual substance. ​

Typical illusionary effects employed by the Sith include the morphing of one ​

object into another-most often a weapon into a similarly proportioned creature​

with deadly intent. Or the feigned presence of an individual. Or even the ​

absence of an object or being that is truly present. ​

The stand that gathers all these powers beneath the banner of illusionary magic ​

is the manipulation of their victim's senses. Some Sith scholars continue to ​

believe that these effects alter the pattern of the Force that "connects" with ​

the targets mind, that they somehow augment that brain's normal wavelengths​

or trip synapses that would not fire under the true current conditions in ​

which that being finds himself. But since no one has yet discovered the ​

physicalities involved in this effect-just as no one has been able to comprehend​

the true nature of the Force in the first place- no definitive ex- ​

planation can be given. Suffice it to say that these powers somehow man- ​

ipulate the senses as opposed to the mind(which is covered under the Mind ​

discipline).​

​

MIND ​

Effect in this discipline prey on the minds of their victims, altering thoughts ​

without without the individal's awareness. Such insidious powers allow Sith ​

devotees to manipulate and outright control their targets, forcing them to ​

undertake acts they would not normally perform under the given circumstances. ​

While the Jedi do use the affect mind power, they curtail their reliance on it, ​

for it is far too easy to slip toward to Dark Side when you consistently intrude​

into other people's minds to twist their thoughts to your will.​

​

SITH HOLOCRONS​

​

The safest method of learning Sith powers requires the possession of a ​

Sith Holocron. Unfortunately such devises are extremely rare. Most were ​

destroyed during the Fall, and not one has come to the attention of the Jedi for​

more than 700 years- which does not mean that they do not exist. Merely that whoever holds them has not yet discovered how to operate them or how to take ​

advavntage of thier teachings.​

​

HOW HOLOCRONS WORK​

​

Holocron technology arose tens of thousnands of years ago, if not more. ​

These devises act as interactive stores of information, most often used to ​

retain the secrets of Force powers for future generations. The creator of a ​

Holocron essentially transfers a portion of his personality into the object ​

and this sentient presence is then referred to as the gatekeeper of that ​

Holocron.Most holocrons have special organic crystalline components, a rare ​

commodity found only on a few remote worlds, the names of many of which have been lost to history - or purposely hidden by the miners of such scarce gems. ​

When arranged properly these crytals form the lattice work of energy that can​

both absorb and later reproduce light and sound wave information. The Sith have ​

developed a much more impressive construct by imbuing the crystals with Force ​

energy through an elaborate procedure well guarded by its most powerful members.​

​

** DESTRUCTION OF A SITH TALISMAN**​

​

Ironically enough nearly all Sith Artifacts ever discovered by the Jedi are still ​

intact, The Jedi found that the necessary way to undo the Sith Force weilding was ​

to bombard the Artifact with the power of the Dark Side. Thus not even the ​

powerful Jedi Masters of old were able to destroy the Sith Artifacta and ​

talismans captured after the down fall of the Sith. Most still remain in the ​

Galactic Museum on Coruscant in the museum's "Sith Hall".​

​

The Dark Side​

​

For centuries those that follow the teachings of the Sith , Karth, or ​

Jedi that deviate from the "safe" path of the so called Lightside have been call​

ed the followers of the Dark Side. We have been protrayed as mindless power hungry killers. To this I only close my eyes and shake my head in pitty for those ​

smaller minded peoples who have the audacity to call themselves Jedi Masters. ​

They are not even Masters of their own thoughts and feelings let alone the Force. ​

For eons each race and empire have dictated what is good and evil. These ​

things are relavent to the being inquestion. The Force simply is. These so-called ​

Jedi Masters have fought against the very thing they sought to master the Force. ​

The Sith, Krath, and "dark"Jedi are like the early Hyperspace Explorers. Seen as ​

reckless and with out discipline by those afraid of what they will discover. These ​

early Hyperspace Explorers are not undisciplined fools they were couragous men and women who while sought the excitement of being the ones to find knew and in most cases better Hyperspace routes through out the galaxy. I view the Sith, Krath, and those Dark Jedi as such people. We are embarking on virgin ground down a path that is by no means swifter than that of the beaten Path of the Lightside. Who are the Legecies of the Force. Yoda? I think not the universe forgot Yoda long before he even died. No the Univserse remembers Exar Kun, Ulic, Vader ( for all his fall from grace), and Palpatine. Will Obi Wan or Luke Skywalker be remembered? I think possibly the Skywalker as the son of Vader and the Jedi Academies founder. But the univserse has already forgotten Obi Wan. However the galaxy will have the influence of the Emperor unpon it forever. Not because he was Emperor, no it will be the unparalled achievements in the Force, Rage, Doppelganger, Force Storms, Force Lightning, need I go on. The so called Darkside is the explorer of the Force while the Lightside is the stagnet self degenerates of the Force. My motto is "There is no knowledge that is not power" and those who stiffle knowledge and label it forbidden are the true evils in the universe. For they not the Sith, Krath, or the Dark Jedi are propetuators of ignorance and the contagtion of the Universe. We are the liberators of free will and choice. It is we the Sith, Krath, and Dark Jedi that move the galaxy. We are the inheritors of its legacies.​
