My back's to the wall, go on, let it fall, oh Make up your mind Before I make it up for you

- Make Up Your Mind, Florence and the Machine

Darth Zash and my SI Lenore. Let the mutual destructive obsession begin!

[jesuistrefatugie]

Quick question: Did Darth Zash teach Nox/Occlus/Imperius anything? Or did she just use them as an errand runner?

If not, then that's like running around with a loading rocket launcher and hoping not to trip. Expect the rocket launcher is a shit ton of force energy. And the tripping part is a sudden change in morals/ethics.

Just a wip rn but...Zash wasn’t supposed to end up looking so MOTHERLY!!!........Makes me a n g y. >:(

Wing AU sketch, ft. Zash being uncomfortably possessive under the guise of comfort/sympathy and Eidorrah only not flinching at the way-too-intimate touch because they have years of practice with that

the mastery duel

In the Sith Empire there are several legally designated varieties of formal duel. Killing your opponent in a formal duel is not murder, provided the duel was instigated in an appropriate way. To control the level of churn caused by junior Sith attempting to duel their superiors for their positions, a senior Sith must accept the junior Sith’s challenge for the duel to be valid. However, refusing a challenge may be taken as a sign of weakness.

One of the most famous duels is the Kaggath, which was soft-banned for centuries because its nature of being power-base vs power-base rather than individual vs individual means Kaggath tend to be extremely destructive and cause significant collateral damage.

Another is the Asinyattal* – the mastery duel. Asinyattals are fought between Master and Apprentice. Specifically, they are fought between an apprentice and their Linage-Master – the highest living member of their apprenticeship family tree.

Challenges are publicly issued prior to the commencement of the duel. While a Master will offer a challenge on the grounds of it being necessary to prove the Apprentice is ready to lead the Teaching-Lineage, Apprentices must lodge an argument that the Master is leading the Teaching-Lineage is the wrong direction and that they will take it on a better course. If there are other Apprentice Sith in the Teaching-Linage – which there usually are as having Apprentices is a symbol of strength and prestige – then they can publicly refute the challenger’s argument, siding with the current Master. Should the majority of the other Apprentices refute the challenge, the Apprentice making it may decide to withdraw and offer a formal apology to their Master for doubting their leadership, which the Master may or may not accept. Conversely, the Master can accept the validity of their Apprentice’s arguments and step aside without fighting.

Non-fatal resolutions to challenges were more common in the days before the reign of Emperor Vitiate. Consensually forfeiting the position as head of the Teaching-Linage is usually seen as an admittance of weakness in the Reconstituted Empire rather than a pragmatic restructure or opportunity to retire. Settling Asinyattals by debate was more common in the Old Empire.

Darth Zash’s plot to steal the body and life of her senior Apprentice hinged heavily on the culture of the mastery duel. If the fallout of the body-theft resulted in her being condemned for her own murder Zash’s scheme would amount to nothing. To avoid this Zash legally designated Lord Kallig her heir, privately confided in some select parties she was dying and considering how best to secure her legacy beyond her death, talked a lot about the great achievements she foresaw in Kallig’s future, left a timed message proclaiming the Asinyattal to be released when she lured them into her trap – and then had Khem Val ruin everything.

This aspect of Zash’s plot ended up playing out very much to her Apprentice’s advantage. Lord Kallig was protected from criticism for “killing” Zash because the publicly available evidence was that Zash had wanted to die lightsaber in hand. Zash’s other Apprentices, Corrin and Kaal, transferred their loyalty to Kallig as their new Master because Zash’s apparent final wish had been for them to respect the result of the duel and help Lord Kallig lead the Sith into a new age. Instead of stealing her Apprentice’s life, Zash accidentally signed over a significant portion of her own.

Arguably one of the most pivotal Asinyattals was fought between Kreia and the Jedi Exile on Malachor V. While neither of the combatants were Sith, the battle had the hallmarks of a classic Asinyattal; fought between a master and apprentice who were part of an extended teaching-linage with the other students weighing in with their support in the lead up to the duel proper, the result of philosophical differences and visions of direction the extended group should take rather being a simple power play, the defeated master acknowledged the validity of her apprentice’s victory over her. While attributed little to no importance by most histories in the Republic and the Empire, the consequences should Kreia have prevailed would have reshaped the galaxy. In addition to dealing what might have been a fatal blow to the Jedi, the all-consuming deafening scream would have been transmitted from lost Sith worlds like Korriban and Malachor V itself into the Sith Empire. In such a timeline the Great Galactic War would have happened very differently, if it happened at all.

*from the root asinyât (Old Kyattam); verb. ascend, usurp.

Darth Zash Needs a Care Day

Seriously, though - i’m very glad SWTOR gave us an example of a Sith suffering the consequences for taking short cuts to additional power.
