How is this different than Dark Lord of the Sith? I think that needs to be clarified since the two terms seem interchangable... Kaine Mandaala 15:11, 7 September 2006 (Mountain Daylight Time)

  • Dark Lord of the Sith is a single position held by the Grand Master. Sith Lord is the status held by former Grand Masters and any Deputies who get made a Darth (has only happened once in history with Torquemada though), e.g. if Jac made me a Darth, I wouldn't be the Dark Lord of the Sith, I'd just be a Sith Lord, Jac would remain the Dark Lord of the Sith. For some non-DB examples, before Darth Bane there was only one Dark Lord. Darth Revan was a Dark Lord, Darth Malak was only a Sith Lord until he usurped his master, Naga Sadow was a Dark Lord, Ludo Kressh was only a Sith Lord, Exar Kun was a Dark Lord, Ulic was only a Sith Lord, etc. If you go in the opposite direction, Darth Krayt is the Dark Lord of the Legacy era, all the other Darths are just Sith Lords. The only time there were multiple Dark Lords was the few years Kaan was in control prior to Darth Bane, and during the Rule of Two both Sith were technically Dark Lords. The Dark Brotherhood is closest to the Sith Empire or Darth Krayt model though, so we're back to the traditional position of Dark Lord of the Sith as the "leader" position and Sith Lord as the junior one. If all the ex-Grand Masters were still Dark Lord of the Sith we'd have a leadership issue, as they'd all theoretically have claim to the Iron Throne. Wookieepedia explains the difference better, plus the Dark Side Compendium should explain it somewhere. --Xanos 15:23, 8 September 2006 (Mountain Daylight Time)
