Holocron of Darth Draconis

The Order of the Sith has had to move yet again, the entire site was rebuilt and made to accomodate the new teaching system. It’s similar to Ashla’s, in that it provides materials and requires little more than students with a desire to learn.

The site is doing alright now. It isn’t as active as it used to be, but it will survive…something I’m very happy about, as I’ve been told the Order of the Sith is one of the last, if not the last, Sith communities.

The Jedi Order of Ashla Knights is second to none for Jedi Training, and even serves as a place of growth for those such as myself. Every time the site goes down, it’s quite the opposite of fun. However, both Ashla Knights and the Order of the Sith have gone down in the past, and both have repeatedly arisen, recreated and improved each time. While the absence of such sites can seem bad at times, the site errors and/or attacks have forced growth and have only strengthened what was broken. Ashla Knights will rise again, and it will be a better learning center for all the hardship. Travis and Jedi Master Thompson are to thank for this, and all that is required for revival is patience.

I’m not quite sure what the overall point is of saying this, but it was a subject of thought for the past few weeks so I felt the need to share such thoughts.

My Sith name is Draconis, and I have claimed the title of Darth. My name describes who I truly am, it describes my inner darkness. The root of my name is Draco, a latin word that means Dragon when translated to the English language, I chose this name because dragons of mythology have traits I possess or strive to possess: Wisdom, Intelligence, Intellect, Cunning, Patience, Strength, Power, a hoard of Knowledge, etc.; many traits that can be observed among the Sith. Sith choose a name granted by Darkness, and one of its many virtues is that it describes the kind of Dark Being you have become on your journey within the Dark Side.

My inner darkness was crucial for me to become a Sith, without gaining an understanding of my own inner darkness, I might not have been able to gain any understanding of the Dark Side itself. Self-mastery(internal) should be the first step towards mastery of others(external), it must be expanded from the inside out. However, power and influence of other people is the most unstable, unreliable form of power I’ve used…
I have Dark, negative traits, traits I was once ashamed of, but I believe these traits to be manifestations of my inner darkness. I work to focus, hone, and control the inner darkness I have; I work towards making it a tool that can be used(as I do with my emotions and passions). Comprehending my darker traits has aided in understanding my darkness within. The first step to actually developing my inner darkness was awareness, I must do my best to be aware of where I’m at in my training.

But what of the title Darth? Some have theorized that it is a combination of Letters from another Sith title: Dark Lord of the Sith; this is a possibility, but not very relevant to a Sith such as myself. What does this title symbolize? What does it represent? Why do we work so tirelessly and relentlessly to obtain it? For me, it symbolizes that I am devoted to the Sith ways and have earned the power I have; it represents that we will always be connected to the Star Wars Mythos because that is what we were spawned from; I have endured much to claim this title, and I endure more still to ensure that I’m worthy of it…

“Because the first recorded Sith to use the title were Darth Revan and Darth Malak, the fact that they derived much of their power from the Star Forge, a creation of the Rakata, has led some historians to suggest that “Darth” is actually a corruption of the Rakatan word Daritha, meaning “emperor.” Others note another Rakatan connection: the words for “triumph” or “conquest” in Rakatan is darr, and the word for “death” is tah, leading to the theory that “Darth” is derived from darr tah and therefore means “triumph over death” or “immortal.” Given the obsession of the Sith with discovering the means to live forever, this idea, on the surface, is not entirely without merit. But others point out that the true meaning of darr tah is “conquest through death,” meaning the conquest of one’s enemies. ”

This quote further emphasizes that the Darth title is a representation of our connection to Star Wars…

I am Darth Draconis, Sith Practitioner, and this is my Holocron, made to serve a multitude of purposes.
I was brought up by a Christian family, with the exception of my Atheist Father, but I never had faith in the religion I was taught, so I was never a christian, merely a pretender. Faith is one of the few things I am unable to possess, its very definition is distasteful to me: an unquestionable belief/trust in a person, entity, or ideal. I can comprehend the idea of Faith, but it took some time for me to grasp how a person could [i]have[/i] faith.

Around the age of ten, I began resenting my families beliefs in the concept of an omnipotent God, at that age I was a very logical person and extremely critical(The logical behavior I displayed at that age has only grown and evolved, I am now a calculating, analytical Sith with a desire for control over myself). As a result, I began experimenting with Magickal practices, wicca, and witchcraft…this was my first experimentation with the Force. I understand Magick as simply another name for the Force. Magick and the Force are one and the same, but Magick focuses on the energies of plants, trees, air, etc. and concentrates on spells and rituals to focus the energy for the desired outcome of a magickal working, it is one of the many aspects of the Force, and it isn’t something that interests me any longer. As many people know, wiccans worship multiple dieties, I accepted this for a time, but I soon rejected these gods as nothing more than powerful spirits that were able to be noticed for a short time after their deaths, then worshiped as gods(I believe that after death, there is a possibility of keeping our spirits/souls intact, or our personal Force energy{life Force} will disperse and be dissolved back into the Force).

I then abondoned the magickal practices and began to take an interest in the Star Wars Mythos. I was still ten when I began walking the path of the Jedi, so I wanted to use the power I was now aware of for “good”, I lived by morals (implanted into my skull during childhood) that my grandmother lived by. But only months after I started training myself as a Jedi did I realize that the Jedi ways were pure weakness in and of themselves, I was kind, caring, loyal, trusting, even compassionate…and as a result, I was often taken advantage of. I then began to change, so I sought alternate paths. I attempted to live as a Shadow Jedi, but I found their ways to unstructured after only 1-2 months. That is when I decided that I would try being evil(as a Jedi, I believed Sith to be opposite of what I once was, and I believed Sith to be evil), so I began on the dreaded path of darkness. I was malevolent at all times, and I sadistically enjoyed being this way. But, almost three months of being a Sith had taught me something about what it really means to be a Sith. Sith are not evil, we are just considered evil because we are dark beings, but in abandoning morality(which may be considered evil as well), I got the idea that there was no true good or evil…I haven’t really decided if this ideal is still logical to me though….

So, since approximately the age of twelve I have been a Sith. I will remain a Sith for as long as I exist…
