And once Darth Zannah became the master, she began to look for an apprentice to learn from her and then kill her. If you'd like to know more about this, I can highly recommend the Darth Bane Novels | |

It is the Dark Side of the Force. And all tried to change this, Plagueis was the first to succeed, only to be killed by his student (Palpatine) just afterwards. That's maybe the tragedy of the dark side, you become arrogant and think you can overcome this. You need a student to serve and do the menial tasks, but in the end, you're overcome. | |

| Feb 22, 2020 at 19:30 | comment | added | Batperson | The goal can't have simply been survival. If it were, then it would make more sense to have lots of Sith, so that whatever happened some would survive. The Rule of Two means putting all your eggs (thousands of years of Sith lore) into two baskets. What if the Master and the Apprentice both killed each other? | |
