Of course, the test subject was none other than Valkorion 😏

I finally got into designs for my fan stories about the old sith empire. Here I present to you the kissai hierarchy and it's proper ceremonial dress during the reign of Marka Ragnos.

Basic hierarchy:

Saarai Ari [Lord of the truth] (illustrated)

- the highest kissai in the entire empire

- he answers to the sith council and the Dark lord himself

- he's a skilled force user in every sense

Saarai Kaar [Keeper of the truth]

- representatives of separate temple territories and sectors, like Korribaan or Ziost

- they must be highly trained in the Force

Geras [High priest] (illustrated)

- administrators of the temple complex or the entire network of the temple region

- obligation to be a temple master in at least one temple

Meistras [Master of the temple]

- head of one particular temple

Priest (illustrated)

- they have several functions and their own hierarchy

- each position has a different shade of brown robe (light: lower position, dark: higher position)

Acolyte [Apprentice] (illustrated)

- training from 12 years

- they must pass 8 levels of knowledge

The last ones are assistants, who are not able to work with the Force. They help in the temple or in other parts of temple complex.

I’ve wanted to do this for a long time... Scipion and Zhaktus at the sith academy on Dromund Kaas ✨🗿

What's the connection between Zhaktus and Scipio? They have a Force Bond. Are they friends? Long lost or found family? Lovers?

I'm glad you asked :)

Yeah, they really have a Force bond. They are a very close friends. Almost like family. They even lived together, but they weren't lovers.

Zhaktus and Scipion met as a children at the sith academy on Dromund Kaas. Soon they were separated by mentorship of different masters, but they didn't stop their communication. After that they met again and went through the Great galactic war together. After the end of this war they have no parted.

They hid their relationship. Very few people know about it. They loved each other and were prepared to die for each other.

But yeah, together they were really vulnerable. Darth Ekkage, Zhaktus's master, always told him that Scipion is his weakness. And she was right.

When Scipion died, Zhaktus went mad. He couldn’t deal with the emptiness left in his soul.

Can you draw Tenebrae with his hair down/in different styles? Even if just rough sketches, I absolutely adore your art! (No I absolutely promise I don't have a crush on the evil True Sith Emperor's real body hahah why do you ask nobody would be that insane ahahahahah)

Here are some variations 😌

Basically it's the first sketch (top left), because you have to look decent before your people and then the second sketch (top right), because I think he wouldn't bother with his hair in another situations.

I also drew him with a ceremonial battle hairstyle (down left) from the reign of Marka Ragnos, because i wanted and it looks funny 😂

Outpourings of the soul in the tomb after a massacre + bonus scene from Echoes of Oblivion with his former friend Vitiate

"Your attachment to your friend is your weakness... in crisis situations it will cloud your judgement. Be careful or it will be the end of you!" - Darth Ekkage to her apprentice Alsanden (the future Darth Zhaktus)

"I promise, that I will be with you in sadness and in happiness, in wealth and in poverty, in sickness and in health and not even death will makes us apart..."

And The Emperor is guilty, as always ✨

Lately, I've been thinking a lot about Tenebrae's family on Medriaas. So I was finally able to draw my old idea.

I really like thinking about them, because what happened to this family is a real tragedy.

Well, it seems like i composed a new melody for them (and still finding a way to record it in a good quality🥴) They deserve that! 🥲

"My life spans millennia. Legions have risen to test me… My ascendance is inevitable. A day, a year, a millenium - it matters not. I hold the patience of stone and the will of stars." - Vitiate

I’ve always been interested in the Emperor’s Voice, its history and structure. And i always wanted to know about the man who became the last Voice and his body was destroyed by Hero of Tython.

So this is my version of him.

His name is Darth Scipion. Before he became a member of the Emperor's hand, he was a sorcerer and alchemist.

His knowledge was great, but on the other side he did not seek power and glory. He just loved his experiments and I also can say that he was a good and even sweet person.

But not everyone liked it - especially his high ranking sith father - and others wanted to take advantage of it.

Scipion didn't want to be the Voice, he didn't want to die. He didn't deserve that, like no one deserved.

In this scene Marka Ragnos visits Naga Sadow on Yavin 4 after his defeat in Great Hyperspace War. This is just a prelude to the big scene that I'm currently writing.

The first weeks on the planet were hard for Sadow. He realised that he had failed. He was humiliated and still looking for a new way.

On the other side Ragnos was really mad at him and got a chance to speak again.

And... this won't end well (at least for Sadow)

In my free time, I'm working on the first tale from my fan stories about the Old Sith Empire. And I named this first tale "The Tomb".

This tale has several aspects.

Here I present to you the designs of the main characters:

Rocho Zuberi

Ilian Hardik

Caellia Tauron

Bereniko Denkratesh

Njal Helgi

They just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. But each of them made a different decision and took a different path.

And of course, it will not be without some sith things 😂

I'm also working on the opening illustration.
