Valley of the Dark Lords/Legends

The Valley of the Dark Lords, also known as Valley of the Sith Lords was a valley and burial ground of Korriban's Sith Lords.

The valley was used from the time of Great Schism through to the Great Hyperspace War to bury worthy Sith Lords. The tombs were built before the death of the lord, and, upon their demise, were filled with riches and slaves. Notable lords to be buried in the valley included Ajunta Pall, Marka Ragnos, Tulak Hord, Darth Andeddu, and Ludo Kressh. On several occasions, dead Sith would become Force ghosts and haunt their tomb.

Whilst a tomb for Naga Sadow was also constructed, it was never used, as the Sith Lord spent his remaining time on Yavin 4. Sadow's empty tomb also housed an ancient Rakatan Star Map, an artifact of the dark side.

Emperor Palpatine often visted the Valley to increase his strength at his "place of power", and on occasion sought advice from the spirits of the Dark Lords.

Behind the scenes



 * The Valley of the Dark Lords was most likely based on the Valley of the Kings in Egypt


 * A number of different layouts and appearances have been given to the valley in various publications. This is, in the case of video games, mostly due to memory restraints and practicality. For instance, its appearance in Knights of the Old Republic lends itself to being easily traversed and places less demand on hardware than a full scale valley. In Jedi Academy, on the other hand, the valley is designed with sections suitable for fighting and platform jumping.
