Description: The Sith Order is a sect within Amtgard; often characterized by their single-minded lust for power and the brutal methods they are willing to use in order to acquire it. The Sith blend aspects of both Stick Jocks and Flurbs, and refer to Amtgard Magic as the Force. To join the Sith Order, one must be apprenticed to a Sith Master. Philosophy Sith philosophy emphasized conflict. The Sith believed that it empowered both individuals and civilizations by forcing them to change, grow, and evolve. Conflict ensured that only the strong would survive, thus leading the Sith down the path to perfection. Individuals only deserved what they were strong enough to take and those too weak to protect themselves were fair game. The pacifistic teachings of the Jedi were viewed as obstructions to progress; lack of conflict led only to stagnation and decline. Likewise, morality was treated as an obstacle to be overcome as it got in the way of a Sith's ability to recognize and seize opportunities for advancement and self-empowerment. The core of a Sith's power comes from emotion. The Jedi taught that fear and anger were negative emotions that must be overcome, but the Sith understand that every living creature was subject to such passions. They believe in harnessing rather than suppressing these natural urges. The Sith do not endeavor to place themselves beyond passions as the Jedi did – on the contrary, they believed that emotion was required in order to attain a holistic understanding of the Force. However, not all emotions were embraced by the Sith. They, like the Jedi, considered 'love' a dangerous emotion, but for different reasons. The Jedi discouraged love because it led to attachment, but the Sith taught that love led to mercy, which was anathema to them.

History: The Code of the Sith Peace is a lie, there is only passion. Through passion, I gain strength. Through strength, I gain power. Through power, I gain victory. Through victory, my chains are broken. The Force shall free me. The Rule of Two To ensure the continued survival of the Sith Order, the rule of two is upheld. The rule of the two institutes that a master trains an apprentice. Once the apprentice was fully trained, he would kill the master and take on the mantle himself and repeat the process. The death of the master is either a ceremonial killing or an assassination. Sith Master: Sith Masters are Sith that have an apprentice serving beneath them. Sith Apprentice: Sith Apprentices are Sith neophytes that are studying under the tutelage of a Sith Master. Adepts: Adepts are not technically Sith. They are chosen and honed by the Sith Apprentice. Essentially, adepts are candidates to replace the Apprentice if he or she is killed or ascends to mastery.
