The names of Sith
Journal Entry: Sun Feb 3, 2008, 6:24 PM
Are you aware that most names of the dark lords have meaning to them? For instance, Vader conquered worlds for his insidious master Palpatine. The conquering Lord In-Vader and Darth IN-sideous, which of course means evil or of sinister nature. Darth Tyranus, aka Count Dooku, which is obvious. Darth Tyrant. Furthermore, there is the blatantly obvious Darth Maul, Ajunta Pall (a pall: a dark emotion cast on or caused by a situation, ie, "Her announcement of marriage to the sleezeball Kevin cast a pall over her father's enjoyment of the superbowl".), Naga Sadow (Naga, a fearsome Japanese mythical beast that experts argue the exact nature of, and a vicious snake-like predator, snake as in manipulation. Sadow, like Shadow without an 'h' as in the Dark Side), Darth Bane, which is blatantly obvious, Darth Revan (as in Revan, Riven, he caused the galaxy to be "riven' as in torn apart, see the connection?) Darth Malak.
Mal-ak. MAL is latin for evil, the exact term being pravus Malum, which becomes in english Mal-ice, Mal-content, and other words of evil or unsatisfactory nature. With a little background work, any Sith name except Cadeus can be traced to have a hidden meaning. Exar Kun becomes ex Ark un, or Ex- Arch One. He was the Archleader of the Sith after Sadow and Ragnos' demise, before Reven, and was an EX Jedi. For my story, I do not want people to actually have to work to uncover the hidden meanings. *Gasps in horror*. No, I make the names painstakingly obvious. Carnage, Vengeance, Malice, Ravager, etc. Should you have ANY other Dark Lords you feel are an exception to the rule, write me. I should be able to answer you within a nine month period.
