I need to go on a small side tangent, separate from all my thoughts about my current read through of the OG Thrawn trilogy.

Ya see, I had one day after finishing Heir to the Empire read a little bit of the Sith Book: Secrets from the Dark Side. I started learning about and growing a deeper familiarity with the history of the sith and sith purebloods. I only got to read through Sorzus Syn's portion, but it started giving me some thoughts. I'm particular, how to fix that stupid "Exegol is the home world of the sith" crap that Rise of Skywalker did (because Korriban/Morriban is where they really originate). Anyway, in my reading I learned about this planet that the sith pureblood empire conquered, Ziost. It was the throne world of the sith purebloods, then later the sith empire after the first lords of the sith arrived. It was an ancient world filled with the dark side. And much like the rest of sith space, hard to reach for anyone who didn't have the force or didn't know it's coordinates. And on Korriban, there were many structures built in such a way that the dark side could be better channeled, which was noted by Palpatine in the margins describing it, that he taught sith cultists how to make similar structures.

Spoilers for SWTOR incoming, if you don't want to see it, go to the next paragraph. In one of expansions for the game, you visit Ziost. Long story short, Vitiate/Valkorian killed everyone on that planet, leaving it desolate and in ruin.

So with all that information in mind, I started thinking about how to fix the Exegol problem. WHAT IF... Just like Korriban, Ziost was also being called by a different name at that point in time? It would explain why Exegol was hard to get to and why the planet looks so empty except for one temple built by cultists. Plus it doesn't have the problem of the extremely distinct look that Korriban has/having an equivalent already named in canon. And even though Ziost isn't the home world of the sith, perhaps that information would have at some time been forgotten to time by the greater galaxy, just as any version of the sith have. And if nothing else, Ziost was an important planet to the sith, so perhaps that information was misinterpreted. I'm working with what I got.

I still think the movie is bad and needed so many changes, and I know it wasn't intended since JJ Abrams probably just wanted to make up a whole new planet without any regards to what lore existed before. But it's now my personal headcanon that Exegol and Ziost are the same planet because it will help keep me sane.

I keep trying to dodge making a Darth Sidious bookmark.

I know eventually it'll happen, but I hate the guy (I say as I'm reading Plagueis right now and maybe I'll walk away from the experience feeling like he's fascinating in a horrifying sort of way. We'll see.)

This collection is a bit of a weird mishmash of Legends/EU characters from various sources including the video games and the comics and the novels, and you know, I'm good with that because I develop obsessions with the Sith in little bursts whenever I stick my hands into the EU and close my fists around them.

Maybe we'll end up with Naga Sadow or Sorzus Syn one day just for fun. For the moment, the Dark Lords of the Sith includes Darth Bane, Darth Talon, Darth Nihilus, a fem! variant of Revan, and Darth Malak as a five-bookmark collection offered in mini and mega sizes.

We've got a slew of other Sith Lords and Legends and canon characters on the site if that's your jam, so feel free to explore the GFFA. :)

Excerpt from "The Collector":

The book shop sits just around the corner from the main avenue, nestled between a wine bar that gets too loud on the weekends, and an alley that snakes through the business district’s less savoury enterprises. Its little black awning ignores the breeze, and the gaslight sconce out front flickers as you approach, the light drift of snow on duracrete sifting ghostly whorls around your high heels.

This is the right place. You’ve checked the linen business card twice: it bears a name and this address, matching the hand-painted sign in silver foiled letters on the door. They’re tiny. Unobtrusive. Perfectly rendered with crisp edges, and bears the same aesthetic sentiments as the card:

Simple and elegant, and crafted from a heavy black cardstock with a letterpress imprint. Expensive. When you flip it over, you see the note again that visits are, “By appointment only,” and consider again that this might turn into a rather costly meeting — both for your professional career, and for what’s at stake for you if you do not obtain the tome in this bookseller’s possession.

Maul deals in rare editions and obscure titles, only. The sort that go to auction when the first printings become so hard to obtain that a buyer will send someone like you to broker the negotiation. You’ve never failed to secure a volume before, no matter how obscure and old, but some books take on a will of their own, occasionally: they do not want to be found.

You may be specialized, and paid a handsome fee for the lengths you go to… but this title in particular is a little out of your depth:

A book so obscure the trail of information that has led you to this particular shop might as well render its existence in halftone; hazed with sensationalist narratives that speak of curses and the unfortunate and untimely endings of its previous owners — an artifact conceived only in whispers, the rumours about shared only in hushed exchanges for fear of being overheard by the wrong ears:

A true dark archive.

Doing your research was about as productive as rhapsodizing where it came from. You’d thought it a story itself the first time you’d heard of it, but the occult collection stolen from the Library of Krayiss was always just a myth.

Or perhaps not… if your buyer is to be believed, and your buyer was very particular about handling a negotiation with this particular source:

The seller is little more than a shadow himself; a figure of legend in the rare collections world, recently moved to this corner of Coruscant to set up his establishment. To find him, you must know of him — and your contact only offered a weak sketch of who he is; the stories surrounding the artifacts in his collection more sensational even than the stories about where he came from.

The rest? Well, let’s just say you’re worth your salt:

You’ve done your homework. And you understand a man of his particular… predilections.

Anything is obtainable, regardless the price.

The Sith:

Sith are strange...in the case of Darth Maul and Darth Sidious, they build legacies that outlast them. Meanwhile, Darth Vader and Sith Acolyte Savage Opress function more as knights devoted to their Respective Masters...until they sense weakness or are themselves ended.

Sorzus Syn

Sorzus Syn was former Jedi who fled from the Order because the Jedi Council had banned her and her comrades from studying the dark side of the Force. This led to the Dark Jedi to attempt to overthrow the Order which became known as the Hundred-Year Darkness. Due to her dark side alchemy, Syn became one of the top commanders of the Dark Jedi. Despite all their efforts, the Dark Jedi were defeated at the Battle of Corbos. Syn and the eleven other surviving Dark Jedi were forced into exile soon after. They soon landed on the Sith homeworld of Korriban and enslaved the natives there. The Dark Jedi would christen themselves the first of the Sith Lords and instituted a new order that was centered around the worship and practice of the dark side of the Force. During her time on Korriban, Syn kept a diary chronicling the Jedi Order founding on Tython, the Hundred-Year Darkness, her arrival on Korriban, and the tradition of the Sith. She was also believed to have been the authored the Sith Code. Part of her diary was kept in the archive of the Jedi Temple. After the Second Jedi Purge, the book came into the possession of Darth Sidious, who included it in the Book of Sith.
