HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The Way of Voice is a Sith philosophy created by the man formerly known as Set, now simply Lord Kalrath, back in the age of the Great Galactic War. It was niche, one intended on growing the power of his voice so that it's progenitor may one day bring about conquest through speech alone, without needing to raise a blade. A desire for this came from his past in the Mandalorian wars, seeing the fruitless efforts of the gauntlet of martial combat, desiring a means of besting his foes before taking to the battlefield. He gained a great deal of followers, but the small band of fringe Sith idealists were eventually scattered by the defeat of Kalrath at the hands of Dillon Kai'el. In the modern era, Lord Kalrath is all that remains of this practice.
