This book documents the rise of a new power on this planet: the immortal Order of the Sith. It is the story of how a seemingly fictional cult has bridged the dimensional barrier between imagination and reality and invaded our universe. As you will soon see, a gateway has been opened from a distant galaxy into our own, bringing dark side secrets and ambitions to this world that most would prefer had stayed far, far away. Since our initial revelations, the knowledge and power of the mythical Sith has gained a foothold on this world, growing ever stronger and more ominous in its machinations. Like a shadow lengthening with the setting of the sun, the power and menace of our Black Brotherhood looms ever-larger in the minds of the Force-sensitive. As the Black Sun rises and the Age of Endarkenment dawns, our new Empire threatens to engulf this planet in an awesome wave of darkness. Perhaps you will consider these the ravings of delusional minds. We remind you that all powerful prophets were dismissed and ridiculed in their time, yet their ideas continue to animate armies and inspire empires to this day. In the early years, great revelations often seem strange, absurd or impossible to those whose minds have not yet been awakened to the power of the new way of life. But in a hundred or a thousand years, as the truth of what is being revealed here spreads its tentacles among the perceptive and Forceful, none will doubt the reality or the power of the Sith! You may wonder why Dark Lords would reveal all this about an Order that has such sinister and dangerous designs. The answer to that is simple: As prophets of the dark side, we have chosen and been chosen to endarken this planet openly, because we believe the time is ripe for the wisdom of the Sith. We perceive that we are living at the end of an age-a time when light side ways are failing, worldviews are growing weary, and humanity is hungry for the renewal and greatness that only the terrible touch of the dark side can bring. We believe our best route to power is to boldly proclaim our vision to the world, and establish our religion as the first dark order of its kind in this galaxy. So read on, and learn the true story of a tale of revelation and conquest that is still unfolding-a tale in which you, perhaps, can play a starring role. For as we Sith say in our Black Tongue: Thûl ash unûk-the world is ours! The Dark Lords of Sith Academy, Imperial Year 4 (April, 2015)
