[Introduction]
This Developer Forum Post outlines the Training Guidelines for the Sith Order. This Document has been authored by the Sith Emperor and approved by the Sphere of Sith Philosophy, the Sphere responsible for Sith Academy. If you have any questions on these Guidelines, please do not hesitate to contact a member of the Dark Council.
[Training Guidelines]
Law Training
The Law Training is for Grotthu’s to attend to be promoted to the rank of Sith Initiate. The Law Training educates the Sith on what they can and cannot do within the Order. It will go through the Korriban Game Rules which can be found here.
Sith Lore Training
The Sith Lore Training is for Sith Initiates to attend to be promoted to the rank of Acolyte I. The Lore Training educates the Sith on our History and events of interest to the Order. The Host will tell you about the Sith Code, how the Sith Order came to power and it’s great struggle with the Republic for dominance over the Galaxy! each Training will cover different parts of our Lore so it’s important you do not use this as your only knowledge as Sith Lore is a integral part of the Sith Apprentice Trials of Darkness.
Lightsaber Combat Training
The Lightsaber Combat Training is for Acolyte I to attend to be promoted to the rank of Acolyte II. The Lightsaber Combat Training will focus on teaching your how to use our version of SolarHorizon’s Modified Lightsaber System. The Host will tell you about the seven recognised Forms of Lightsaber Combat. After that the Host will show you how to use the Lightsabers, this will range of how to Flip, Dash, Low Flip and how to use these tricks in combat. After this, the Host will split the Attendes into duels. Lightsaber combat is an essential part of your training to become a fearsome Lord of the Sith, you should practise with your fellow Academy Students at every chance you get.
Force Training
The Force Training is for Acolyte II to attend to obtain the rank of Sith Adept. The Force is a powerful ability available to only Sith Knights and those who own the gamepass. Correct usage of it can turn the tide in vicious raids and battles. The host will give you all access to the “Force” for the training period only. They will show you how to use it to maximum effect and how to incorporate it into Lightsaber Combat. You should take note that the Force is not in itself a weapon, it’s a powerful asset that should be used to give you the upper hand, not do all your fighting for you.
Apprenticeship
In order for Sith Adepts to become a Sith Apprentice they must find a Master (Sith Knights and above). Their Master will train them in the ways of the Dark Side for a minimum period of no less than 28 days. Once their Master believes they are ready to face the Trials of Darkness, the Sith Academy Staff will hold the young apprentices Trials. The Trials consist of the following sections:
- Trial of Connectivity to the Force
This Trial consists of testing how strong you are in the Force. You will need to express strong competence in utilizing the Force. - Trial of Knowledge
This Trial will test your intelligence on the Laws of the Order and our History. You will need to be highly knowledgeable to pass this Trial. - Trial of Leadership
This Trial will assess your ability to lead the Order and hold events. You will Co-Host a Training and take the lead on it.
After undergoing the Trials of Darkness, the Sith Academy Staff will review your results and inform your Master of your pass or fail. If you pass, you will be welcomed into the Order as a a full member, a Sith Knight.
[Sith Knight and beyond]
Sith Knight
Progressing past the rank of Sith Knight involves your activity as a Sith. To obtain the rank of Sith Assistant Overseer you must successfully training at least 3 Apprentices to pass their Trials of Darkness. You are responsible for recording your Apprentices and gathering proof of this.
Sith Assistant Overseer
To obtain the rank of Sith Overseer you must training at least 2 more Apprentices and they must pass their Trials. You can also be promoted to Sith Overseer by any gaining an Approval from any 3 Sith Lords. You must gain their approval and ask them to contact the Dark Councils Sphere of Sith Philosophy. From there the Council will review the Approvals and decided if you may be promoted.
Sith Lord
Lord of the Sith, the highest rank a Sith may hold. To obtain this rank there are 2 pathways.
- You must undergo the Trials of Darkness. These Trials rigorously test your abilities as a Leader, review your history in the Order and whether or not you are deserving. The Sphere of Sith Philosophy are responsible for this and hold the Trials of Darkness on a rolling monthly basis on a weekend of their choosing.
- The Dark Council holds the right to elevate any Sith Knight+ to the rank of Sith Lord should the Council deem it necessary. Once a week, the Dark Council will review a random selection of 5 Sith to decide if they are worthy of the title.
[Closing Statement]
And there you have it, the Training Guidelines. This should be studied hard and checked back regularly as it may change without notice.
