GENERAL INFORMATION

• Media Name: Chronicles of the Modern Sith Empires - Post Darkness: Volume I
• Format: Book, Holobook, Hologram Recording
• Distribution: Inter-Planetary (widely found in a region/large area of the galaxy)
• Length: Long
• Description: The first volume is divided into three parts with various chapters detailing the historical period each part details. The first part of the text features the chaotic period of time immediately following the end of the 400 Year Darkness and the rise of the mysterious Darth Sidic, who created the first Sith proto-state in the modern era. In the second part, it jumps approximately 15 years to a point in time when the proto-state's loose allegiances among disparate Sith Lord's reached an impasse of leadership in the unexpected absence of Darth Sidic, prompting the rise of three of the most powerful Sith Lords of the time (Darth Moridin, Darth Voracitos, and Disciple) to band together and create an official state authority, known as the Sith Triumvirate. In the third part, it lays down the contextual evidence that, despite the long functioning 13 year reign of the Triumvirate, it was only a matter of time before one of them would seek the ultimate precipice of power. It then ends with the climatic and bloody rise to power of Darth Moridin, with the support and backing of Darth Voracitos among others. This coup de etat was embellished with glorified accounts of culling the weak and dead weight of the Sith and its unruly citizenry at the time, while Darth Moridin ascended to the first Sith Imperial Throne of the modern era, ushering in a line of seven Sith Emperors before the Empire's collapse. It then ends with a shorter conclusion piece stringing together the various pieces of these three events into a romanticized account of Sith and Imperial supremacy.

SOCIAL INFORMATION

• Author: The office of the Triumvir of Knowledge
• Publisher: The office of the Triumvir of Knowledge
• Reception: As a historical account detailing the conditions under which the first modern Sith Empire which rose following the 400 Hundred Year Darkness, and its evolution throughout its early existence, it comes off as a rather dry read. Although some events are embellished or romanticized for the sake of creating specific lessons for the purpose of an Imperial Agenda, for something that could technically be construed as propaganda, the text is rather tame. It is not exactly a page turner, but many who have read it consider it to be an adequately definitive account of modern history, in regards to the Sith Empire. It does however, naturally, have a rather heavy Sith and Imperial bias, which limits its possible reception in the territories which are enemies of the Sith Empire.

FORMAT INFORMATION

The Chronicles of the Modern Sith Empires - Post Darkness: Volume I is primarily a written work, either physical or holographic, but has also been published with various collected audio and visual files for the less cerebral literate (assuming they have the technology to play either type of file).

CONTENT INFORMATION

Table of Contents and General Summary:

• The Imperial Warlord Conflict
  ​In the first part of this volume, we go to extraordinary lengths to detail the various political intricacies of the geopolitical situation of the Tingel Arm immediately after the rise of the Sith Lord Darth Sidic. The immense power of the individual Sith Lord in this chaotic period truly shaped the landscape of the Tingle Arm. Though there are many parts to it that at first seem disparate or unrelated, we manages to parse all the different combats into one unified event we shall describe in this volume hereafter, as "The Imperial-Warlord Conflict". The chapters you will find here, are as follows:

1. ​The Post Darkness
2. The Factions of the Tingle Arm
3. Planetary Communication/Cooperation
4. Darth Sidic & Notable Figures
5. The Formation of Alliances
6. Conflicts and Conquests
7. Inevitable Victory

[*]​Founding of the Sith Triumvirate

• In the second part of this volume, we shall describe in the first chapter the gradual loss of presence from the founder of the Sith Imperial-proto state, to indicating at this point in time the nation was less an empire of the Sith and more of a tenuous confederacy of Sith cohorts. We will then begin the various and storied accounts of the formation and reign of the Triumvirate. Initiated by Darth Moridin, including Darth Voracitos, and the enigmatic Disciple - we will go on at length to highlight definitively how each Sith Lord was perfectly suited for their roles and how for the first time the nation was solidified from the loose alliances into a proper state of government. The chapters you will find here, are as follows:

1. ​The Waning of Hierarchy
2. The Absence of Authority
3. The Displacement of Leadership
4. The Strength of Initiative
5. The Power of Ability
6. The Knowledge of Vision
7. The Prosperity of Unity

[*]​Darth Moridin's Imperial Coup

• In the third part, we will discuss the inevitability that this form of government was only ever a transitional one. Although lasting for 13 years, this part shall describe in detail the necessarily bloody eruption that became of Darth Moridin's desires for the title of Sith Emperor. It will also highlight the unusual cooperation of Darth Voracitos in ensuring his rise to the Imperial Crown, hoping to enlighten readers into the larger world of politics at the time. The chapters you will find here, are as follows:

1. ​Hallmarks of Transition
2. Appraisal of Loyalties
3. Measures of Stability
4. Shadows of Change
5. Unusual Allies
6. Blood for the Emperor
7. The Legacy of the Past

[*]Conclusion

• ​By the end of this volume, readers shall be acutely familiar with the varied political intricacies of early Imperial and proto-Imperial governments following the end of the 400 Year Darkness, and begin to see all the modern incarnations of Sith primacy less as isolated events, and more as a continuum of change throughout the galaxy. The conclusion is only a single chapter length, but draws elements from all previous parts of this volume, and ties them together as they relate to the practice of governance today under the rule of Dark Lord of the Sith, Emperor Carnifex.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION

The first volume of in the Chronicles of the Modern Sith Empires, titled "Post Darkness", is a project undertaken by the new Triumvir of Knowledge within the Sith Empire. After a period of intense-self isolation, the ever thoughtful and former Pillar of Knowledge decided that he was most appropriate to fill the gap of the prodigious but mundane government position despite his disgruntled relationship with the sitting Emperor. As one of the few prominent Sith Lords left alive, save the Emperor himself, who can remember the time period the pair had risen to power in together, Voracitos took it upon himself to commission the Chronicles for the purposes of education... with perhaps a slight touch of making himself more important to the Empire in retrospect through the use of various, numerous, and subtle word play setting the implication that the appearance of control was not always in the hands most thought it was. Whether or not the Chronicle's intended audience believed this or not, is difficult to quantify.
