[xavviquz]

♥︎ a witch’s curse and an emporors wrath. ♥︎ ryomen sukuna x witch!reader hcs

warnings // attempts of brainwashing, attempts of manipulating, mentions of death, blood, kidnapping, possessiveness, throwing up, forcefeeding, hanging, a bit rushed

notes // this was a request i had recently gotten! i’m glad to be writing this for you and i hope you enjoyed this!! also if any of you guys want to request something for me to write, just specify what and if you want it a fanfic or hc! sorry if this one isnt too good 😞 @rosemaydone321

synopsis: nobody could escape his overwhelming power and wrath, but you. as curious as he was, he dug deeper for the truth.

emporor!sukuna that takes nightly walks to get a break once in a while.

emporor!sukuna who stumbles upon a small cabin, erbs, crystals, animal remains, plants completely filling the area. sukuna walked around the house, peeking his head into the window, seeing you hard at work to make your spells.

emporor!sukuna who stares with curiousity on what you’re doing, and what your purpose was being so far into the forest. as you finished your spell, it was immediately broken. sukuna felt a wave of pain, but it felt as if someone flicked his head, or threw a pebble at him.

emporor!sukuna that knocks you out cold as you were on your way picking up a few fruits and mushrooms to eat.

emporor!sukuna who greets you with your own room, and own clothes. he wants you for himself and he knows it. he sees so much potential.. so much use for you.

emporor!sukuna who grips at your hair when you disobey each order. venom practically spat out your mouth as words pour into his ears. agitated and furious was what he was at this moment.

emporor!sukuna that forces you to eat, make spells and what not for him. you always shook your head and refused to do so. you knew who he was, and what he was. you refused to make the same mistake that people had made many moons ago when they got kidnapped and sent here by the same man.

emporor!sukuna that always tampers with your food, forcing you to eat it each time, and you forcing yourself to throw it back up. every now and then, he’d have someone force your mouth shut as your bidy began to digest the food that he made you consume. it always made you drowsy and left your mind fuzzy.

emporor!sukuna who ends up resorting to the only way he knows you would listen. he restricts your food intake, leaves you working constantly as you did his chores, and he hurt you. each day. a sharp dagger ran up and down your thigh, small cuts being made as blood dripped down your leg and across the now dirty blade.

emporor!sukuna who always has to hurt you in order to get what he wanted out of your pretty little lips. sometimes he’d coo and make fun of you for trying to escape from his grasp.

emporor!sukuna who checks on if you’re following his commands, and you were. and it was like this for months on end. sukuna wouldn’t suspect a thing, you thought.

emporor!sukuna who finally trusts that you will stay by his side as his obedient plaything but that was the opposite in this case. sukuna that grits his teeth when he realizes that you had escaped him. i mean, how could you not?? how could you? how did you? is what he thought. as his anger grew more than the sun that was displayed on the sky, he came to one conclusion.

emporor!sukuna who hated that you had wasted your potential. he ordered his whole empire to search for you, and that they found you. hiding in some cave while you made friends with the wolves.

emporor!sukuna who’s disappointed that your talents couldnt be acknowledged.

emporor!sukuna who scentences you to be hung and burned to death. as you were locked up and shoved in a cell, sukuna did visit you often.

emporor!sukuna who reminds you of what could’ve happened so maybe, just maybe you’d go with him. that maybe, you’d take his offer. but you refused like always.

emporor!sukuna who watches you from the side as you were dragged from your cell, a noose around your neck and the crackling of fire filling the worlds senses.

emporor!sukuna who hears your words even through whispers “for you will find me in every life, and everything will be the same. your confused curiosity and my never ending inflicting pain.” he didnt know what you meant by that until years later, he saw you at the same cabin, and the same woods, at the same time.

hellcanons pt. 1: Pride/Imperial Royal Family

Since Lucifer is the "big boss of hell" and ranks above the other kings and queens, his title in my lore is Emperor of Hell. That being said a lot of that title is largely ceremonial as Lucifer.. does very little actual ruling. When Lucifer originally fell he - as the first demon - was given the de-facto rule of leadership, and he embraced it at first. His sin after all was pride, and believing that he could do a better job of ruling over humanity than god could. He divvied up the rule of the 7 rings between the next 6 angelic demons - who became known as the sins - and his new wife, Lilith, who joined him in Hell. Lucifer's plan was that once human souls would start arriving in Hell they would be sorted into the 7 rings depending on their life on earth, but after the first two centuries no souls were coming in to wrath, gluttony, greed, envy, solth, or lust. All the souls were going to Pride. Adding a read-more because this will be long!

The other sins brought this to Lucifers attention, demanding an explanation, as he told them that they would rule over great kingdoms. Lucifer himself did not know, and so went to seek council with the Seraphim. The angels of course do not know how hell works, but Sera suggests/tells Lucifer that it's likely that all human souls for all of time will be tied to Pride, as it is Lucifer's sin, the original sin, and the reason that any of them even CAN sin. All bad things that have ever happened because of people happened because of Lucifer. Lucifer does not take this well. He returns to Hell ridden with guilt, and starts to drift away into depression and self-loathing. It is decided in a council by all the fallen that the sins will remain kings their own rings, ruling over the hellborn who have now started to appear, which the rule of Pride will be divvied up into a number of kingdoms, ruled by other trusted members of the Goetia. Lilith, though, still ranks above all of them, now given the title of Empress. Not all of the angelic-demons are happy with this, notably King Paimon, who is given a kingdom in pride and patronage over the americas, does not like that he is being made to answer to a human-born, and insists on only taking orders from the /true/ Emporor - Lucifer. Lucifer appreciates the Kings and Queens, and of course his Empress, because it means that he can continue turning a blind eye to his empire while they rule in his stead. He is happy being just a puppet head. Left on his own to his projects.

TW: depictions of abuse, First half is from the abusers POV, self deprecation, mentions of death, implications of death

You are invited to the Obsidian royal court for a ball. It is mandatory that all that are invited come.

Nigel kept his wife close to him. The mad woman had once claimed to be good friends with one of the Royal princes. By some miracle, he survived the Emporor's wrath. So he wished to prove to her that she was delusional.

He kept an arm wrapped around her to keep her close. She stopped fighting against him, haveibg learned to give into his toutch.

He trained her well.

"Viola dear, I hope you know how big of a treat this is for you? You get to meet your old 'friend' prince Gilbert"

"Yes- I know my love"

"Good. Then you know the punishment for lying to me if the truth comes out?"

"Yes."

Nigel chuckled, kissing his wifes neck, leaving a deep purple hicky. Viola let out a soft moan.

'Such a good girl'

When entering the palace ballroom, it was filled with nobles and other accomplished soldiers. Nigel couldn't help but feel pride.

He had managed to come up this far. He had accomplished everything he ever wanted. He had the perfect wife, too.

Of course the first thing he needed to do was find out the truth. So he took Viola to where Prince Gilbert stood tall and proud.

They both bowed before him "thank you for inviting us your highness, it is quite the honor"

"Yes, I'm glad you could make it." Gilbert replied with an ever lasting smile on his face.

"This is my wife, Viola Ripley, or maybe you would know her as Viola Fox"

There wasn't any hint of recognition or anything of the sort held within the princes' eye.

"I'm quite sorry, I don't regicnize her. Although the Fox name seems familiar. Is your father a merchant?"

"... y-yes my prince. He sells mechanical goods... he likes to figure out what's best for his clients... I hope he has treated you well"

"It's truly a pity he has passed... I hope that your husband here treats you very well"

Viola nodded and bowed, mind clearly raceing "I'm sorry, but I need to go to the powder room to touch up my makeup"

Gilbert nodded and dismissed Viola.

'What a baby. But she knows her punishment.'

--------------------------------------------------

When Viola finally made it to the bathroom, they couldn't help but sob. Her world was crumbling around her.

'Dad is... dead...'

"What about mom...? Wh...what about Talia...? Are... are they..." Viola sobbed and sobbed, curling up tightly.

'Gil forgot me...'

The world seemed so much colder... so much darker... like a blizzard that would never end...

'He is right... none could love me...'

The door opened, and Nigel slipped in.

"Honestly. How low of a whore do you have to be?"

"I'm sorry dear.."

"Now. Tell the truth."

"I'm... I'm a delusional woman... who needs to be locked away... for her own safety..."

"Good. I'm sure that I can get someone to have you locked away for a bit."

Viola could only nod meekly.

Nigel grabbed her and dragged her back back to the ballroom, only to find that the doors had been blocked and gaurded.

"The hell is going on here?" Nigel demanded, more annoyed.

A gaurd spoke up "for safety reasons, none is allowed inside the ballroom after leaving it."

Screams echoed from inside the ballroom, begging, pleading, and more could be heard.

Nigel scoffed and stormed away with Viola in tow, frozen at the screams. It felt... like her own.

The Emporors Voice on Voss

Hi, I think it's about time for a new theorie (actually I should have posted longer ago but I haven't had any ideas and still a lot to do IRL so I hope you like it.

As I saied in the caption I thought about the reasons for the Emporors Voice to be on Voss (where you get to free him as the Sith Warrior)

First I thaugt it all was a trap to distract the Empire from Zakuul. Like the Emporor had been gone for a long time and the Sith may become suspicoust and searching for him. So if he is there but just trapped there aren't that much questions left. Except that the Discusion if Darth Baras is the Voice of the Emporor weakens the Empire from the inside and his son(s) have a easy part by attacking it (for no obvious reason. Either it is supposed to be training for a real war or the Emporor wants the Eternal Empire, Zakuul, and the old galaxy in one).

But I don't think like that anymore. I think it has to do with the Scions which prophetical powers are close to Voss ones. This might be helpful for the Emporor when it comes to difficutlt questions. On the other hand it's a thread since you can't decive the Scions as easy as the other people of Zakuul. You don't tell them, they don't know. But the Scions could have visions of the old world and find out about his secred. So I suspect the Emporor had the aim to find out exactly how SelMakor works. On Voss we find out the dark power, SelMakor, is responsible for the Visions of the Voss yet they don't know about their own history since SelMakor determins exactly what they see. If the Emporor could learn how that works he could determin that the Scions don't see any of his secrets. That also could explain why he used the body of a Voss for this time. For an outsider it is very difficult to learn the Voss rituals and get accepted in the Voss society. However he needs the rituals to actually get to SelMakor. So he just uses the body of a Voss. Now we also can see why it was so important for him to get rid of the body. If he was still in the galactic Empire he just could have explained that he uses that body to get the Voss' secrets. The Dark Council and the Hand of the Emporor would have acceped that (noboy would have dared questioning him anyway). But he wasn't able to use that body on Zakuul since they've had never heared anything about Voss (or the species Voss since they only exist on this particular planet).

Another posibile reason could be that the Emporor actually wanted to create the Scions. On Voss it's SelMakor which gives the Visons to the species. However why the Scions have their visions isn't explained yet. But it is explained that the Scions are the religious leadership on Zakuul whil the Emporor is the political one. Religions always have had a big part in the live of the Emporor. (Without religion there wouldn't be war between Sith and Jedi. Actually there wouldn't be any Sith or Jedi). But both the codex of the Sith (which ignores rationality and only focuses on feelings) and the one of the Jedi (which totally ignores feelings and only focus on rationality) have their weaknesses. So a new codex for Zakuul wouldn't be the solution. So a different solution for a religion was needed. A bunch of visionairs would be something interesting. And as I've mentioned bevore it is SelMakor to give the Voss their visions. So if the Emporor could learn how to give people visions and determin what they see would be great for the Emporor to create the Scions. (This also would explain why the Scions don't have any Visions of the Emporor just as the Voss don't have any visions of SelMakor). However that dosn't explain exactly who becomes a Scion. In the theorie bevore it actually just were some random force sensitive people. In the new vision the Emporor has to decide who recives the visions. Either he gives it to people he trusted bevore to make the religious and political leadership work together closely or it were some random force sensitive people. Since the game dosn't tell us anything here I just leave both options as they are.

Now we get to the question how and why Darth Baras has trapped the Emporor (excluding that he wanted to be the Voice of the Emporor)

As we already get to know in the begin of the story line Darth Baras talks to the Emporor (yet he is pretty much a nobody what means he is neither in the Dark Council nor is he especially influencial despide the fact he is a Darth). So why would the Emporor even bother talking to him. One reason could be that Darth Baras knew about the Voss and he was specialised in infiltrate things or people and did exactly that for the Emporor on Voss. It also could have given him the oportunity to trap the Emporor if he kept parts of the information for himself. However I don't really believe in that since the Emporor wouldn't blindly trust Darth Baras or anyone else without checking the information himself.

I rahter believe that it actually wasn't Darth Baras to trap him and rather an accident. When the Emporor got the SelMakor to find out about it's powers he just got overwelmed by them. The Emporor can't die or something due to rituals but he hasn't anything against a thing like SelMakor which isn't at least a natural being but a power which is created and strenghened by over 1000 years of war. So when the Emporor tries to find out all its secrets he gets overwelmed and captured by it. But why don't tell the Warrior? First of all it would mean to admit a weaknes and second the Sith Warrior is already hunting down Darth Baras which means he wouldn't request the Emporor at all and his secred is kept one more time while the anger in the Warrior is strengened.

However my second explanation dosn't explain why Darth Baras is talking to the Emporor at the begin of the story line. In this part it's questionable if he even saies the truth or only want to show his new aprentice that requesting him wouldn't be good. If it actually is the truth this meeting could be about anything. Maybe the Emporor really is decieving Baras by telling him he becomes the Voice of the Emporor. Therefore is the question why. The reason could be Darth Baras infiltration skills which I've mentioned bevore. If someone would find out about Zakuul it might be Baras. However if Darth Baras would be killed for decieving the Dark Council there would be nobody left who is as good infiltrating as him. That also explains why the Sith Warrior becomes the Wrath of the Emporor. He actually only is allowed to fight when the Emporor saies so. That means if the original char what it is suposed to do he won't be there when Ziost is attacked which means it would be more easy for the Emporor to consume it. And the char wouldn't be there when Zakuul eventually attacks the old world.

So I’m having computer issues so I may have typed up my storyline setup for my SS toons. It’s long, sorry.

So the “Commander” is Divarne, a smartass smuggler with a hero complex, who happens to be a bit Force sensitive but refuses to realize it, thinking anything to do with the Force is a bunch of hokey bullshit. Nevermind his uncannily good shot with a blaster and his ability to just ‘sense’ danger coming, that’s just a natural habit he picked up in his line of work, right? That’s all he’ll ever believe anyway. He’ll never believe his ability to defeat Arcann wasn’t just luck with a happy side of excellent shooting. He’s romancing Theron, and while he’s normally polygamous in a lot of his relationships, he’s settled for just being with Theron for the foreseeable future (which is a big step for him – he was with Risha initially, and wasn’t terribly faithful to her – he did love her, completely, he just happens to love more than one person at once).

Rikima is part of the Alliance with the Mandalorians. Her basegame story still ‘happened’ - she still won the Great Hunt, she just didn’t go on to become the Outlander. Instead, she fully committed to her Mandalorian role, and came into the fold of the Clans. She’s in a romance with Torian, which is a little weird given how much older she is than him. Besides Shae, Rikima is Divarne’s main contact in the Mandalorians, being called on mission with the Commander on a regular basis (my headcanon is that she came with Divarne alongside Torian on the Darvannis mission).

Lishara is the barsen'thor of the Jedi Order, as per basegame story, but after the Jedi refused to help against the Eternal Empire, she became disillusioned, and defected to join the Alliance. She would have been one of the FIRST recruit missions after Yuun, having been incredibly eager to join up with people DOING things. And thanks to having recruited Lishara, Qyzen Nadia, Felix, and Tharan would join the Alliance later on as well thanks to her being there.

Narahia is the ‘canon Inquisitor’, and is also the one that did Impside RotHC, but her story split off around SoR, when she started to remain away from the council due to paranoia. She was away when the council was destroyed, and thus survived. When she returned it was to find the Sith subjugated, and found it reprehensible. She helped Acina build her rebellion in secret, being a key member to critical stealth missions. She retained her position when the dark council was reformed (she would have been there instead of Darth Anathel). She also would have been the reason Paxton Rall joined the Alliance – her well-known lover Andronikos Revel was friendly rivals with Paxton and she convinced him to convince Paxton to commit his fleet, as one of the signs of good gesture to the Alliance from the Empire.

Vaidynn, while not an ‘official’ part of the Alliance, is a huge asset to them. Vaidynn still remains leery of joining ANY official cause after his brainwashing, and chooses to remain a neutral information source that helps solve problems. He’s the ‘canon Cipher Nine’, and chose to keep the Black Codex for himself. He provides intel to any cause he deems worth it, be refuses to pick any sides. Divarne has never spoken to him directly, only Theron has. Vaidynn also helped Theron discover the information about the Order of Zildrog initially and is who set him on his path of ‘deception’.

Aramei is the ‘canon Knight’, and her final fight with the Emporor would have drained her considerably, to the point where she couldn’t do anything for a long time and had to go into recovery. She was only healthy by the time the Eternal Empire came, and fought them alongside all the other Jedi. She remained with the order and went with them to Ossus, where Divarne met her briefly on a mission there with Tau. Aramei is not thrilled with the fact that some gunslinger beat the Emperor once and for all when she couldn’t, and treats Divarne with disdain. Nevertheless, when Kira reunites with her at some point before contacting Divarne, she joins up in the party to defeat the Emperor's original body, and grows to like him. She joins the Alliance after the Emperor is dead, as one of it’s Jedi Order liaisons. Also I don’t care what canon says, Aramei romanced Kira way back from the beginning thanks and the two are wives when Divarne encounters them.

Johiia is the ‘canon Warrior’, and would have been one of the first Sith to join the Alliance after word spread about it. She would have done her best to stem the tide of the Eternal Empire when it hit as the Empire’s Wrath, but in one final battle everyone assumed was her last, she disappeared from the galaxy. She did almost die, but with the help of Jaesa (darkside Jaesa FYI), managed to escape, but in her shame of her failure, she refused to go home. When the Alliance gave her the chance to make up for what she failed at, she joined immediately. Jaesa would have joined with her. She would have been one of the ‘staples’ of scenes with Valkorian, insisting on coming even when she wasn’t wanted (so, barging in with Senya and Arcann when they came up for the final fight). She also would have gone along to destroy Tenebrae’s original body.

Xhaline is the ‘canon Trooper’ and he would have been assumed dead for a LONG TIME. He was thought killed in the initial volley from the Eternal Empire, he was planetside somewhere that got bombed and was never heard from after that. Until Iokath, where he showed up with Dorn and Jace Malcom. Apparently he’d been in long-term recovery from his injuries, and only woke from a coma a year before, and had kept his ‘death’ story up so no one would realize the Republic had a secret weapon. He would have accompanied Divarne throughout his mission on Iokath after Divarne sided with the Republic. Besides that though, that’s all the contact he’s had with the Commander.

Iradine and Lethre would retain their ‘RP stories’ as Divarne’s underworld contacts, and would have assisted Hylo’s missions occasionally to show they sill wanted to work with him.

Vuziaa would have been a contact to the Alliance of Teranda, selling information to Hylo in his behalf – no one would have actually met Terenda though.

Ayozre would have been in Sith Intelligence for a while then when the war kicked back up should would have made a disasterous exit to go back home to the Republic finally. Sith Intelligence isn’t thrilled.

Nih’las has probably been on the frontlines of the war effort the whole time – he’s always just used as a battering ram. He’ll probably have contact with Divarne in the future given that the Alliance, while seperate from the Republic, is still allied with them.

Cidelax is probably still in the Empire simply because his family is there, and is still working to make it a better place (I expect he has some influence with Acina, seeing a lot of good has been done so far).

Turhas would retain his mercenary status, and will be called in by Rikima occasionally to help with jobs that require descretion (I expect he’s going to be called in to help with the Mandalorian situation, given that he’s ex-Mando himself and his loyalty to her would override any attempts to buy him off).

Loasia has taken her sister’s place as the family’s favorite ever since Johiia failed the Empire, and Loasia stepped up to help defend in her place for a long time.

Nerhat and Ayladin are wildcards, though usually lean Empire (in Nerhat’s case, because they pay more and in Ayladin’s case, because she’s an ex-agent who fell through the cracks when Intelligence was disbanded). They don’t have any involvement with the Alliance, but Ayladin knows Divarne through some underworld contacts.

Livarya, as always, is actually ‘dead’ (I never ran her story at all because she’s meant to be dead), since she’s Divarne’s very unstable mom.

[autisticalchemist]

Several months later and I JUST realized that Father probably planned to do the same thing with Xing as he did with Amestris and Xerxes

Like, the whole purpose of having a homunculus occupy a human body is so that they can age and hide amongst other humans, such as in the case of Wrath. Whole point of having Wrath was so that a homunculus could be the ruler of the country Father was controlling so he could mantain complete control at all times

By doing with Ling what he did to Wrath- ie, injecting the essence of a sin into a human being to create a homunculus- Father could go on to infiltrate Xing through its newest Empororer that he helped rise to power.

All the while, Ling was unaware of all of this really. He didn’t realize he’d lose control of his body, didn’t realize he was being lied to about immortality- I mean sure, the other homunculus we see created in this same way is much harder to kill than a regular human, but he’s certainly not immortal.

[darthravage]

What if Darh Baras succeeded in becoming the Voice of the Emporor?

Even though I think Darth Baras betrayal was wanted by the Emporor and therfore doomed to fail I will try to tell you the possible impacts of his succes from a neutral sight since we all wished him to fail, at least for our the attempt to kill the Sith Warrior. (The thing that it was planned by the Emporor would make an own text so if you want it please comment.)

First of all, I want to consider the question how tried to be considered as the Voice of the Emporor (of course not only regarding the things you get to know when you play the game). But let’s start with an thing which is obvious, the fact that Baras didn’t try to kill the true Emporor but caused that he was “imprisoned” on Voss. This part already leads to two questions. Why didn’t Baras try to kill the Emporor and how did he manage to decieve him? (The secont part dosn’t regard that it may be planned by Vitate.) But let’s answer the questions in order. The first one is easy to answer. It was difficult and dangerous to defeat the true Emporor. Darth Baras didn’t kill people single handed. That means he needed agents who are strong enough to kill such an individual and even if he had managed this his methodes were significant and it wouldn’t have taken that long until somebody associates Darth Baras with the murder. In addition to that Darth Baras was informed of the Voice of the Emporor what also means that he is informed Vitiates’ ability of tranfering his ghost into another body what caused that it was useless to kill the current body. The second question is more difficult to answer and I think Darth Baras sister, Darth Ekkage, may have played an important role. She was head of the Sphere of Mystery what means she was able to see the Emporor. He could have abused her to gain Vitates trust and trap him when he had it. But now there is the problem that his sister knew it (and maybe even lots more since much of Baras knowledge could only come from her) what caused that Darth Baras had to get rid of her what he did by beraying his sister to the Republic and causing her imprisonment by that. But if this theorie is correct there is the question why he wanted to get her freed later on. There are two possibilities again. The first is that Darth Baras already had gained enough influence to force her to support him if wants to increase her own influence. Or it was a trap and Darth Baras wanted the mission to fail since either his sister or his aprentice get killed and there was one thred less for him no matter how the fight ends.

Now let’s consider the main question which I already told in the headline: What were the effects if Darth Baras was successfull.

The positive effects were that the Empire would gain a quite progressive and intelligent leader who dosn’t care about the origins of other but what they reached as a Sith. More over Baras behaved illoyal by manipulating the war but he is loyal to the code of the Sith and therefor loyal to the Empire. You also have to mention that he manipulated the war but also caused the death of some important Republic leaders what shows that he dosn’t want the Empire to lose the war. More over, Darth Baras was a Sith who had lots of agents within the Republic what causes that the actions of the Republic are immediately known to the leadership of the Empire which can react on point and stop the plans of the Republic.  In addition to that, Darth Baras had the skills to unite big parts of the Sith only by his skills in manipulating others. Finally we all know (or get to know) what the real Emporor did and I think compared to that Darth Baras wasn’t that bad.

But of course there were negative effects either. In this case you can say that he was only that powerfull since he betrayed the Empire what takes any right of him to rule. And he wouldn’t have reached this much witout the effort of other people like the Wrath. Even though it’s usual for Sith to use others for theyr aims, Darth Baras did it significant often what was already criticised by Darth Vengean. Finally you can say that Darth Baras plans are long lasting what causes that the Empire has no chance to win the war fast which could cause trouble with resources.

In the following part, I want to consider how other Sith reacted and why. Darth Vowrawn was against Darth Baras plans what is obvious but he never mentioned why so we have to guess. Between Darth Baras and Darh Vowrawn where already tensions in the begin of the game what you get to know on Dromund Kaas where Baras supported the slaves revolt to weaken Darth Vowrawn. That shows that the tensions between this characters aren’t a thing which developed when Darth Baras claimed himself the Voice of the Emporor and Darth Vowaran will lose a lot of influence if Darth Baras is accepted. Also Darth Vowrawn gains power by showing opposition to Darth Baras since he is considered to be the person who unites the people who are against Darth Baras. An other point may be that he knows that Darth Baras manipulates the war for his own aims since he is the minister for Production and Logistics what causes that he sees what Darth Baras does. Finally, you can say the same thing as I did bevore. With Darth Baras as the leader of the Emporor there is almost no chance to win the war fast and since the Empire has a leck of money and resources compared to the Republic the Empire will lose what Darth Vowrawn who is in charge of all this of course knows. As Darth Vowrawn, Darth Decimus is against Darth Baras. Darth Decimus may be informed about Darth Baras betrayal either since he is in charge of the strategy and his apprentice, Darth Charnus, is responsibile for finding and elemenating traitors. More over, Darth Decimus may lose a lot of power when Darth Baras becomes the Voice of the Emporor. Since the Sphere of Military Strategy (head Darth Decimus) and the Sphere of Millitary Offence (Darth Baras) overlap each other there is strugle within power when both Sith have same influence. Another one who might be against Darth Baras (speculating) is Darth Jadus he is against the fact that Sith are supposed to take part in secular affairs. When Darth Baras becomes the Voice of the Emporor that will increase. More over Darth Jadus wants that the Dark Council is more open regarding theyr ambitions under a person with a character like Baras this definitely wouldn’t be the case. Also Darth Thanaton could be against Darth Baras since he want changes and Darth Thanaton is an individual which wants the Empire to stagnate in old values and attitudes.

Darth Marr wants Darth Baras to get the Voice of the Emporor. The reason might be that the Empire gets a leadership which is able to unite big parts of the Sith, as I already saied. In addition to that, he really could believe that Darth Baras is the Voice of the Emporor regarding the knowledge he has about it. As Darth Marr, Darth Ravage believes that Darth Baras is the Voice of the Emporor. Maybe he really believes it or it is because both of them have similar attitudes regarding a lot of topics. Both aren’t against other species and former slaves within the Empire are for the war against the Repulic and wan’t to subject the whole galaxy no matter what methodes are used to do that. Darth Malgus could support Darth Baras plans either since he is for more tolerance within the Empire, more over he starts his revolt short after Darth Baras is defeated what could show that his hopes were destroied when Darth Baras was defeated (this part includes Darth Serevin either).

Finally we have to say what causes Darth Baras’ downfall First of all it is the fact, that Darth Baras tried to kill the wrath who probably would have suported his master and underestimated his power what caused that the Wrath wanted revenge. In addition to that he let the Emporor survive what maybe was a good plan but failed when the Emporor was set free. And another problem is the fact that Darth Baras dind’t do anything on his own what allowed some of his enemies, the Wrath, Darth Vowrawn and maybe Lord Rathari to survive and in the end defeat him.

Short you can say that Darth Baras would have made a good Emporor compared to Vitate but almost anybody would make that. He was an intelligent person with long lasting planes who acted more like a Sith than lots of other people did but withot help he wouldn’t have reached anything what causes that there are people who are more fitting to become the Emporor
