{ Intent } Been weakened lately so I've been reading this book and I thought Shevaltesh should have it so he could allow people to learn from his life's work of creating a true source of learning for the Sith. (Which isn't yet done)

{ Contents }
- The complete Chronicle of Sorzus Syn, a Dark Jedi survivor of the Second Great Schism who was among the exiles who first arrived on Korriban after being exiled from Republic Space. She details her encounters with and opinions of the Sith Pureblood species, her experiments in Alchemy, and the origins of the old Sith Empire.
- Darth Malgus' complete War Journal, made during the Outer Rim campaigns in the opening years of the Great Galactic War, so that he could record his thoughts and experiences. These pages recall some of his struggles in the first years of the war.
- The Rule of Two, by Darth Bane. There is only two; one to embody power, and the other to crave it. Some time after the end of the end of the New Sith Wars and Darth Bane's foundation of the Rule of Two, he collected philosophies that would guide the Sith Order for the next thousand years, entitling his work The Rule of Two.
- Wild Power, an instructional manual by Mother Talzin exploring the Nightsisters' use of the Dark Side and their role as dark side mercenaries in the galaxy.
- The Science of Creating Life, a scientific journal by Darth Plagueis with notes about his experimentation with and the manipulation of the force.
- The Dark Side Compendium, intended to be the seminal work on all matters concerning to the dark side of the Force. Though Palpatine intended for it to span hundreds of volumes as he never expected to die, he would only complete two and a third nearly-finished, those being The Book of Anger (Of harnessing the Force through emotion and anger), The Weakness of Inferiors (Of the way to compel the weak-minded to do one's bidding through the use of the Force rather than through violence), and The Creation of Monsters(Sith Alchemy on how to create monsters).
- Absolute Power, a separate, political manifesto by Palpatine containing the volumes The Book of Anger (On using emotion and anger to power the Force), The Weakness of Inferiors (Compelling the weak-minded to do your bidding through the Force), The Manipulation of Life(Broader volume on creating life in general using Sith Alchemy), The False War(Of the role of the Clone Wars in the implementation of Darth Bane's Grand Plan) and The Useful Bureaucrats(Of the way Palpatine manipulated many important figures and events that contributed to the rise of his power, also making a minor statement of the role of his own master, Darth Plagueis)
- Magics of the Force, by Darth Trazen, the master of Darth Shevaltesh, covering his experience and studies of Sith Alchemy, Sith Magic, and the sciences in general.
- Magics of the Force II, by Darth Shevaltesh, on his vast studies into Sith Magic and Sith Alchemy, and on how to apply the teachings of Darth Trazen in the first volume.
- Runes of the Pureblood, by Darth Shevaltesh, on his exploration into Sith Rune Magic, involving the use of runes and blood to cast powerful spells and curses on people or objects.
- The Making, by Darth Shevaltesh, on his hundreds of years-long quest to create this book during the four hundred year darkness.
- Along the margins and just about anywhere else in the book, are comments written by those who have read it. Darth Sidious, Darth Vader, Asajj Ventress, Yoda, Mace Windu, Quinlan Vos, Luke Skywalker, Darth Trazen, and Darth Shevaltesh. Perhaps you will be next?
- Contains many other items in the 'Sith Holocron' container. A Sith Lord burial shroud, a battle map from the Great Galactic War, a Sith Lightsaber Crystal, a Nightsister Talisman, a diagram detailing Palpatine's political strategies during the Clone Wars, a propaganda poster for the Galactic Empire, a note from Luke Skywalker, several papers with various Sith Tattoos inscribed on them, and a large red diamond, large enough to be used as the focusing crystal in a lightsaber.
- { Sith Magic } Vast volumes from many sources on the applications of Sith Magic, and how to control it.
- { Sith Alchemy } Same as with Sith Magic, many different people within this tome have written many secrets of Sith Alchemy within it.
- { Sith Rune Magic } Darth Trazen and Darth Shevaltesh have both written extensive work on Sith Rune Magic, using Sith Magic to cast spells or curses on people or items.
- { Battle Strategies and Tactics } Darth Malgus has included many of the most famous and finest battle strategies within his War Journal, still holding prevalence on the battlefield even today.
- { Political Tactics and Maneuverings } Emperor Palpatine's knowledge that manipulated the entire Galaxy resides within these pages, and anybody savvy enough to use them in the great game of chess has a lot of power to gain.
- { Sith Power } Darth Sidious and his works on using emotion and anger to power the Force give a great insight into the power of the Dark Side.
- { Living, Indestructible } By the power of Darth Shevaltesh, the book itself is alive and moving silently around within itself, and if it is damaged, it will simply regrow that part from other matter around. It can only be destroyed by destruction on the atomic level. This is why the book is so thin even though it contains thousands of pages, allowing it to remain inconspicuous.
- { Unlocked } So many powerful secrets lay inside, yet anybody that has hold of the book may access its many secrets.
- { Corrupting } With dark powers residing in and around the text, reading it long enough will corrupt anyone or anything with the dark side of the force.
- { Redundant } While holocrons allow users to easily access knowledge, the Book of Sith takes time and patience and is often too much for those not dedicated to the task.
- { Clutter } Though interesting, much of the information in the book is clutter, with the true secrets and instructions hidden within the mound of useless information.
- { Can You Even Read } Yeah you have to be literate to read it. Shocker!
- { Advanced } While a good teacher for many parts, it acts more like a Sith learning textbook, as most Sith would be unable to apply or even access the force powerful enough to use many of the things in the book, needing a second, more powerful person to guide them. Textbooks simply support the teacher, giving them material to use to teach.
The book itself is massive in its vast contents, althought not in physical size, being made slimmer through Sith Magic. The teachings of hundreds of different individuals has slowly been compacted and slimmed by dozens and dozens more, each taking each other's work and adding it to their own, resulting in this massive monstrosity of a tome.
Sorzus Syn details early Sith Magic and Sith Alchemy, the powers of the Sith Pureblood intricacies of their societal castes. Darth Malgus and his dozens of war campaigns, battle actions, and experiences, detailing his expert tactics and how he won so many battles. Darth Plagueis on immortality, manipulation of the force, and everything in between. Almost everything related to the Dark Side of the Force lays within this book, you must only know where to look.
The book itself is kept within a case that is designed to look like a Sith Holocron.
"This is a canon item."
