Dark Lord of the Sith/Legends

Dark Lord of the Sith was a title taken by members of the Sith Order. Before Lord Kaan, there was only one Dark Lord of the Sith at a time, who was the head of the Order. Lord Kaan began the practice of giving the title to all members of the Order, thus making it a title shared by many Sith. After the institution of the Rule of Two, the title was naturally held by only two members at a time, one being the Sith Master and the other being the Sith Apprentice.

The title Dark Lord of the Sith is often thought to be synonymous with the title Darth (Dark Lord of the Sith), but this is purely conjecture and has not been properly substantiated. Many Sith Lords have used the Darth title, but there is no evidence as to the synonymity of these two appellations.
