So we have one where the Ancient Sith are ranked in order of power, but that's useless if we have no grasp of where they lie in comparison to other characters. So like my "rank these Sith Lords" thread, name the characters that you think are closest to the following:
Fairly agreeable. I'm open to the possibility that Hord approaches Dooku and Mace as a swordsman, but the Ancient Sith's skill levels are almost entirely up to personal imagination. It'd be near-impossible to prove or disprove that they're definitively at a certain level.
Tulak Hord - Not sure. Skill-wise, he possibly approaches the upper end of level 8's (ie. Dooku/Mace) and is probably at least on par with Maul, but his power is harder to judge.
Marka Ragnos - Around Vader-level? Probably close to Reborn Krayt, which would put him above Vader.
Kressh contorting giant statues with a clenched fist and being so powerful that his Tomb (which his life force still haunts per the Prima Guide) literally prevents people who aren't strong enough in the Force (including, for instance, Visas) from even setting foot inside. Note that you can play dark side and Visas can be amped by Korriban and still not be strong enough to enter. This all being more than a millennium after Kressh's demise.
Sadow's above that, and Ragnos is apparently much more powerful than Sadow. Granted, Sadow may have grown in the years since Ragnos' Funeral, but I'm not seeing anything to suggest that he made up that difference.
There's also a couple of other things for Sadow (ie. being so strong in the Force that he could sustain himself for six centuries, and his own Tomb after over a millennium is able to drive Barel Ovair half-insane - Ovair being powerful enough to conceal his dark sided nature from the entire Jedi Order and stand in the Jedi Council Chamber unexposed) and by proxy, Ragnos.

Because Korriban is a dark side nexus, and Sith temples were designed to focus and augment that power. So I guess you've proved Kressh had good contractors? Lmfao.
Sure, there are circumstances, but that doesn't change the fact that it's proof of immense power on Kressh's part. If I took it literally, Kressh would be infinitely more powerful than Maul, not just around his level. As for the nexus, again, Visas can be dark-sided and thus amped by Korriban and still can't even set foot in the Tomb.
The fact that it's explicitly noted as being Kressh's life force in the Tomb is a big plus.
Ignoring critical contexts =/= taking it literally kek. But no, even if you were to be grossly disingenuous, all you'd prove is Kressh is a lot stronger than the Dark Jedi who created that Cave of Evil on Dagobah.
On the other hand, Maul's mere presence on Naboo left a dark stain in the Force felt by Leia three decades later. I find that more impressive.
Seems like Maul's anguish at being struck down would be more likely to leave behind a remainder than him passing an area. That's also Canon, not Legends.
That being said, there are places that simply reflect Force energy and bypassers leave behind impressions.
Sure, Kressh's Tomb had artifacts amping the potency of his life force and what not, but it was still infinitely more powerful than Maul's stain on Naboo.
