[QUOTE="bwgwl, post: 213794, member: 3876"] i'd say there's gotta be ways around the "only two" rule. i think it's more of a Sith tradition than some immutable law of the universe. Darth Sidious is the direct "descendant" of a line of Sith Lords going back to Darth Bane, who was the one who instituted the rule of two after all the other Sith were destroyed. but there are Sith holocrons still floating around, holding the personalities of Sith Lords that might train a Force user in the ways of the Sith if activated. i mean, the holocron isn't going to say, "Let me scan the entire galaxy...oh, i'm sorry, there are already two Sith present in this galaxy. i can't train you." [i]especially[/i] if the Sith in the holocron comes from a time before the rule of two was even implemented. it begs the question, even if there were more than two Sith in the galaxy, how would anyone know? they seem to always work from the shadows, keeping their true nature hidden. unless Sith have some sort of special ability to detect each other at galactic distances, there could be a whole mess of them floating around, each pair thinking they are the "only two." also, there could always be deviant off-shoot cults scattered around the galaxy that still carry on a modicum of the Sith tradition, albeit in a distorted form. i'm working on such a cult for an upcoming SW campaign.
