I doubt Revan and Malak were the first to use "Darth"....we don't know the history of the Sith between the times of Exar Kun and Revan. I think KOTOR 3, instead of continuing after the death of Traya in KOTOR2, should take place during the Great Sith War and the reign of Exar Kun, and explain some of the history being discussed here.
as far as I know, the schism that led to the creation of the brotherhood of the sith was started by a Jedi named Darth Xendor. after that, many sith, including Darth Revan began using the Darth title. Darth Bane officially codified a sith name as an alias provided by the force preceeded by the title, darth.

HMM.... A KotOR prequel. Doubt it would be called KotOR 3 thouh. See, heres how I see it, the movies revolve around Vader, were the KotOR series(and soon to become a trilogy *crosses finger*) revolve around Revan. Even though you dont play him in KotOR2, he's still the main focus.

yes if they made a stroy of the anichint sith taht would be a perfet name star wars the anchinet sith SW TAS it has a ring to it each one could follow a sith ragnos kun pall hord ect
Maybe if you could spell "story" or "ancient". You do realize that Pall was a long ways before Ragnos, who was a long way before Kun, and we have no clue when Hord is besides basic speculation (we know he was before Kun and Revan, and he had a "lightsaber"😉.
To do the Ancient Sith would require a lot more than one story.

The name of the guy that started the schism was just "Xendor". Actualy there is no real information given in the EU where that "Darth" comes from. For me personaly the most logical explanation would be that it is a short form for "Dark Lord of the Sith"
Well...the problem here is that the "Sith" were not mentioned in the OT. In the beginning of Star Wars "Darth" was just a part of Vaders name (since the Emperor doesn't use his title "Darth Sidious" in the OT - and most of the people in the movies call Vader "Lord Vader" or just "Vader" and not "Darth"😉. The Sith basicaly were invented in the early 90s or (exactly) 1994 with Andersons Jedi Academy trilogy and the background story for Exar Kun.
That's why the name "Darth" didn't appear before the PT because Lucas himself was the first person to use it for other people than Vader himself (Sidious, Maul) were all EU stuff written before the PT never mentioned that "Darth" as a title.
So Revan and Malak (in the EU timeline) are the first persons who used the title "Darth" and well...Revan and Malak could be also Sith names they had chosen since all people (except the Sith Lords and the people from Yodas species) have a first name and a family name.
