#sith lineage

[darth-maul-of-dathomir]

I am stymied. I have found sith ruins on Dathomir, but they will not open for myself, alone.

It is aggravating. The crest on the door bears the sigil of Darth Revan's empire, and it was their writings which inspired Darth Bane, first of my lineage, to begin the rule of two.

My enthusiasm has stalled. Without a second sith, the ruins refuse me, the door itself will not move by force or by more... physical means. I am disallowed to my inheritance by dint of a betrayal that hasn't even happened yet.

Seething is not a potent enough word. I will have to return after I have found, trained, or resurrected another of my kind.

Darth Plagueis and Darth Tenebrous

 “Master, allow me to lead,” Plagueis said when he reached Tenebrous. (...)

His pride wounded more than his shoulder, Tenebrous waved off the offer. “Be mindful of your place.” Regaining his balance and composure, he streaked off. But at a fork in the tunnel, he took the wrong turn.

“This way, Master,” Plagueis called from the other corridor, but he stopped to surrender the lead.

Closer to the surface the tunnels opened into caverns the size of cathedrals, smoothed and hollowed by rainwater that still surged in certain seasons of Bal’demnic’s long year.
