The Fall of Valkorion Codex Entry

Over the millennia, Valkorion wore many faces and names: Lord Vitiate; Emperor of the Sith; Eternal Emperor of Zakuul. For centuries upon centuries, he shaped and manipulated galactic events, bending the arc of history to his will during his obsessive quest for immortality. A being of unfathomable power and insatiable appetite, he transcended death multiple times, shedding his physical shells as they were discovered, defeated, and destroyed... only to return in another form.

With each rebirth, he grew stronger. His machinations became grander. The pain and suffering he unleashed became greater. Some believed his ultimate goal was conquest: the complete subjugation of every world, known and unknown. Others believed he sought annihilation: the consumption of every living being in the galaxy, until he alone remained.

Yet, immortality is an impossibility. No matter how strong, how powerful, how godlike, all must perish. In the end, Valkorion could not escape the inevitable, permanent end to his existence. Finally, after thousands of years, the Immortal Emperor--his body, his spirit, the very essence of his being--is no more.

A being of unfathomable power, yet it's said his bodies kept getting destroyed. I feel like this doesn't make much sense.

The destruction of his bodies seem very circumstantial. He was either weakened (vanilla SWTOR) or otherwise occupied (KOTFE) when he died. Besides, Sidious' clone bodies kept dying because of the Dark Side power he wielded; same is likely true for Vitiate.

Valkorion confirmed thousandS of years old.

Godlike is quite apt. 👆

Glad they killed him off before they had him do something stupid like oneshot a solar system 👆

It is indeed a possibility as even his original body was barely holding his dark side energy 👆

With each rebirth, he grew stronger.

Confirmation that Valkorion is > Vitiate. Not that we actually needed it with common sense being a thing and all.

"In the last moments before his final ending, the being once known as Vitiate was hit with a glimpse into the depths of the future. There he saw the twists and turns of destiny coalescing around a being born of the dark side. A being incomprehensibly more powerful than he. A Shadow. The last image of his conscious mind was the shadow of Darth Sidious." 🙂

Valkorion and Vitiate existed at the same time in different places, so not really. Especially since that was the one defeat where he was confirmed weaker. Honestly, SWTOR just doesn't make any sense. Don't try to make sense of a super powerful being that somehow always gets defeated by randoms you'll never hear about.

Was Valkorion's first death seriously unintentional? Because if so that would be hilarious.

You do realize the Nathema ritual was "thousands" of years ago? That doesn't mean it has to be 2000+, just over a thousand.

We're rolling with Valkorion being as old as Soa deal with it 🙂

If after like seven power growths from rebirths he's still weaker than Sidious, seeing as how Sidious is the most powerful master of evil "ever to use sith power", and Valkorion had once used sith power so he falls under that umbrella, then current Valkorion must be far inferior. 👆

Not how it works. mmm

In all seriousness, we know that's what's going to happen; Valkorion's standing next to Sidious's may rise, but to moderate it people will scale down his past incarnations and everyone else scaled from him. It's what happened to Revan following TOR, and everyone in TOR when the gap between Vitiate and everyone else turned out to be larger than anyone could've guessed.

But the difference is, Sidious wasn't able to keep the bodies from dying. Vitiate/Valk didn't have that issue, yet he somehow gets in these situations where his bodies die despite having unfathomable power?

Yeah; sure; fine. Shame that Vitiate suddenly isn't the most (naturally) powerful Sith.

Lord Dramath ruled the Sith world of Medriaas more than a millennium ago. Caring little for day-to-day governing, the Sith Lord spent his time hosting feasts and traveling around the agricultural planet. During a trip to the distant northern continent, Dramath had an affair with a poor farmer woman, siring a son whom he promptly forgot.

Ten years later, the Sith Lord heard rumors of a child gathering power in the northern continent, but did not personally investigate until his envoys failed to return. After days of travel, Dramath reached the source of the rumors only to face his illegitimate son, Tenebrae, the future Sith Emperor and immortal ruler of Zakuul. That day, Tenebrae removed his father's connection to the Force and imprisoned him within a powerful holocron, leaving Dramath alone to wither slowly into madness over an eternity.

You dumbas****, tbcfh.

If he was just possessed by a human.
