Shimrra Jaamane versus Tulak Hord

Who wins?

Tulak: Best duelist amongst the ancient Sith. Daaaaaamn.

Shimarra: Big guy with a spiffy sceptre.

Tulak takes it I say. Since a duelist doesn't rely as heavily on the force, he would just get in there and slice and dice.

tulak is an unknown. it said he was the best lightsaber duelist of the ancient sith. he could have been the only one with a saber back then. dont use unknowns like him in battle.

Yeah, Tulak is rumored to be the best lightsaber duellist. Ancient Sith used blades for the most part.

The quote goes as follows:

"His skill was considered remarkable even in his time, when many true lightsaber masters lived."

ahh okay. still if the snake bites him in the ass...

Stupid thread

Nice.

He was buried in the valley of the ancient Sith lords though. He lived in the period of transition between "ancient" and modern, so I would assume that Traya's quote applies to the ancients as well. The Sith also buried him in Korriban, that marks a great honour.

If we do not accept this as fact (that he is an Ancient Sith), then much of what else Traya said (that the ancient Sith made modern Jedi look like children with toys) would also be nill.

Traya refers to him as one of the old masters, so I assume he can be considered ancient sith.

I wonder what time period he lived in. I'm assuming 3-5,000 years before Ragnos.

Actually, no...

He lived a good deal after Ragnos' time.

What's a good deal, and did he come before or after Ajunta Pall? We know The Great Schism was 25,000 BBY, so we have a 20,000 year window.

WTF?

Ajunta Pall was among the first of all sith, he is WAY before everyone else. I dont know the exact time Tulak Hord lived, only that it was well after Ragnos' time...hence the transition period between swords and lightsabers.

How do you know Ajunta Pall was among the first?

Talk to him in KOTOR.

Uh, wasn't Ajunta Pall born 7,000 BBY?

Damn. This SW History is messed up. The Schism happened... 24,500 BBY and the Dark Jedi landed on Ziost 7,000 BBY?

What the hell? Someone needs to issue new numbers.

I haven't played KOTOR in forever, need to find the CDs.. I wonder why Tulak Hord's spirit doesn't come out, guess he wasn't such a bad guy after all. The way it goes was that The Great Schism happened around 25,000 years, then the 100 year darkness, then the dark Jedi were exiled and found Korriban, and interbred for around 20,000 years... I wish somebody did some comics on the first ever dark Jedi, that would be l337

Ok it looks as if the first Dark Jedi Xendor died around 24,900 BBY, and the sith empire was created 6,900 BBY.. Interesting, doesn't really make any sense. I actually thought the first Jedi came around 25,000.

Yup, according to the NEC, the Sith Empire began 7000 BBY.

Makes a lot of sense, no? Oh wait...

We know a bit about Xendor.

I doubt the first Jedi were that strong at the very beginning though, since the Order had just been formed. Study of the force wouldn't be very advanced at all.

Except that it was.

You forget that the jedi in ancient times married and reinforced their bloodlines. However, by the time of KotOR, marriage and attachment had been forbidden following the Sith Wars, and the Jedi Purge eliminated a lot of bloodlines.
