Nah, you're totally bullshitting.
Besides operating Eternal Empire technology. 👆
Meaning what, exactly? Just because I can pick up a gun doesn't mean I know where it was made.

There's a difference between pressing a trigger and completing an elaborate ritual that is going to cleanse an entire world and resurrect a spirit from the dead.
The latter would demand extensive knowledge on what the hell you're doing.
No, really, how does "our" not specifically mean Marr and Vitiate?
😬

Again, the fact that I can work the gun doesn't mean I know anything about where it was made. Especially considering I plan to use the gun to revolt against it's maker, and then subsequently invade the country he abandoned forever ago.
EDIT: Conceded on the point of Vitiate still remaining somewhat involved in the Empire's affairs up until the treaty, though. I was under the impression his silence started around the time Revan was imprisoned, I forgot about Bloodlines.

"Our history" definitely means the Sith Empire's history.

Well, Revan would recognize it's technology completely different from anything else the galaxy has ever seen, and that it's based right where Vitiate's spirit is resting.
So that means... He knows that Vitiate has a powerful planet-killing temple on Yavin IV that he retreats to when his body is destroyed. That doesn't mean he knew about the Eternal Empire--after all, it seems like it would be a pretty odd thing to ignore and never mention on his quest to stop Vitiate.
Also, just to confirm because I can't find the codex entry, is the ToS even Zakuul tech? Or is it just compared to the Eternal Throne because Vitiate constructed them both?
"Knowledge is power and here lays the closest technological cousin of the Eternal Empire: the Temple of Sacrifice."
Also, the fact Revan never mentions it doesn't mean it's retconned, it just means he never mentioned it.
The game never specifically stated Revan was unaware of the Eternal Empire, so acting like Revan's feats been retconned is stupid.

Wait, what are you even talking about? Our original assumption was that Vitiate's silence and withdrawal from the Empire's affairs was due to Revan's influence; now we know it's not. That's the "retcon", if you will.
The game never specifically stated Revan was unaware of the Eternal Empire.
Well I mean, the game doesn't specifically state Darth Thanaton was unaware of the Eternal Empire either, but I assume he was because he never mentioned it or made any actions based on his knowledge of it. Why treat Revan differently? If he knew about the Eternal Empire, then his entire post-TOR:Revan story arc would make no sense at all.

The distinction being Revan was in Vitiate's mind, so a direct retcon would be needed for Revan not to know.
