| The '''Order of Sith Lords''' stands atop the Tripartite Path as the ruling order. Membership in the '''Order of Sith Lords''' is reserved for the [[Dark Lord of the Sith]], his predecessors, and those select few who have earned the right to bear the title of [[Sith Lord]]. The Dark Lord's [[Shadow Hand]] is considered second in command of the Order.
| | #REDIRECT [[Sith Lord]] |
| | |
| As the [[Dark Lord of the Sith|Master]] of the Order of Sith Lords, the [[Grand Master]] serves as the ruler of all three Lesser Orders; the disciples of the [[Sith Order|Sith]], and the two Sith cults, the [[Krath Order|Krath]] and the [[Obelisk Order|Obelisk]].
| |
| | |
| While the Lesser Orders each carry only fragments of knowledge of the [[starwars:Sith Empire|Sith Empire]], the Order of Sith Lords represents the reunification of the Sith cults, mastery of Sith knowledge, and ascendancy over the Tripartite Path. The Sith Lords are the true masters of the Force.

| ==History==
| |
| | |
| ===Post-Palpatine Sith===
| |
| | |
| ====Lumiya====
| |
| | |
| Even with [[starwars:Palpatine|Palpatine]]'s final death, Sith continued to survive. Their next Sith Lord was an Emperor's Hand named [[starwars:Lumiya|Lumiya]]. Darth Vader had passed on to Lumiya some Sith teaching secretly from his master, and the woman adopted the title ''Dark Lady of the Sith'' upon her masters' death at Endor in [[1 ABY to 10 ABY|4 ABY]]. She trained two apprentices: [[starwars:Flint|Flint]], who was redeemed by Luke Skywalker, and [[starwars:Carnor Jax|Carnor Jax]], who was killed by Palpatine loyalist [[starwars:Kir Kanos|Kir Kanos]] shortly after the Emperor's final known death on Onderon. Afterwards, Lady Lumiya went into hiding and it was thought once more that the Sith had disappeared.
| |
| | |
| ====Kane====
| |
| | |
| Lumiya was not the only Sith to survive the Palpatine's death. [[Kane Vader|Kane]] was another such follower. Like Lumiya, Kane had been one of the Emperor's [[Dark Side Adept]]s, and, like her, he too had recieved some Sith training. Unaware of Lumiya, after Palpatine's final demise at [[starwars:Onderon|Onderon]] in [[11 ABY to 19 ABY|11 ABY]] and the destruction of [[starwars:Byss|Byss]], Kane declared himself Dark Lord of the Sith and founded the [[Dark Brotherhood]].

| ==Sith Lords in the Dark Brotherhood==
| |
| | |
| In the Dark Brotherhood the '''Order of the Sith Lords''' is an honorary body used to honor those who have earned the right to be called a [[Sith Lord]] and bear the title [[Lord]] or [[Darth]]. Membership in the Order can be achieved in several ways.
| |
| | |
| ===Dark Lord of the Sith===
| |
| | |
| [[Grand Master]]s become [[Dark Lord of the Sith]] upon appointment and hold such status until retirement. The Dark Lord of the Sith is the leader of the Order of Sith Lords, it is from this status that he derives his position as leader of all three Lesser Orders and master of the Tripartite Path.
| |
| | |
| ===Shadow Hand===
| |
| | |
| The [[Deputy Grand Master]] holds the title of [[Shadow Hand]] as the apprentice of the Dark Lord of the Sith. While the Shadow Hand is considered second in charge of the Order of Sith Lords he or she must first complete their training before being allowed to use the title of [[Lord]] or [[Darth]].
| |
| | |
| ===Sith Lord===
| |
| | |
| [[Sith Lord]] is the title held by members of the Order of Sith Lords. It is most commonly held by former Grand Masters who retain the status of Sith Lord after retiring from Dark Lord of the Sith when they leave the position of Grand Master. It can also be awarded to other members who the Grand Master deems worthy of recieving the [[Lord]] or [[Darth]] title.
