Nadd?

ares834
I didn't consider him as he is pretty much impossible to rank. Worst case scenario, I guess he could take the #5 slot from Sadow.

DarthAnt66
He's stated to be far more powerful than Sadow.

AncientPower
He's far more powerful than Sadow a full century before his prime, a century he spent getting much more powerful. That's a level of vast superiority over Sadow that Ragnos himself has never been stated to have.

Ant, what's your's?

Yes, I know. Hence why I said that worst case, he could take Sadow's spot. Now whether he is more powerful than Muur or not is, well, impossible to say.

AncientPower
Muur's not as powerful as Pall, who is a lesser Dark Lord than Ragnos, who doesn't have such a huge power edge over Sadow as Nadd does. I understand if you disagree though.

The Merchant
Vitiate.
Exar Kun.
Tulak Hord.
Marka Ragnos.
Freedon Nadd.
Ulic. (?)
Naga Sadow.
Ludo Kressh.
Ajunta Pall.
Karness Muur.

First, Nadd is "far more powerful" than spirit Sadow. I'm not inclined to give him such superiority over prime Sadow.

Secondly, I'm not convinced Pall is greater than Muur. Initially he was the leader of the Exiles, sure. But quite frankly, I've never seen anything from Pall to impress me.

DarthAnt66
1. Vitiate
2. Exar Kun
3. Marka Ragnos
4. Freedon Nadd
5. Tulak Hord
6. Naga Sadow
7. Ludo Kressh
8. Ajunta Pall
9. Sorzus Syn
10. Karness Muur

IMO.

A common misconception, Sadow was in stasis for centuries until Freedon Nadd arrived, he learned everything Sadow had to offer and then killed him. Sadow's spirit remained until he possessed Eison Gynt, where his spirit was finally destroyed by Ovair. If Nadd had destroyed his spirit, then Sadow couldn't have possessed Gynt.

There are contradictions but the only logical series of events is the aforementioned one, which is also stated to be what happened. Therefore Nadd did become far more powerful than a Naga Sadow in stasis not Spirit!Sadow. Then he became much more powerful over his century of rule on Onderon.

Actually, I'd rank him above XoXaan.

Ten. thumb up

ares834
The very quote that says Nadd become more powerful than Sadow mentions Sadow as a spirit. Beyond that the quote doesn't state that he destroyed Sadow's spirit but that it was merely "thought" that he did. So there is no contradiction with the SWTOR content.

AncientPower
Whilst you are right, we have a long series of quotes stating this:













So him already being a spirit at that point has to have been retconned, Nadd becoming more powerful than him however remains fact.

XSUPREMEXSKILLZ
1. Kun

AncientPower
I could definitely agree with the Sith Entity statement.

XSUPREMEXSKILLZ
Nah, I just don't consider the Eternal Emperor of Zakuul to be an Ancient Sith Lord, despite his being much older than Kun and the like. Didn't really bear the torch like Nadd/Kun did.

ares834
And we have plenty stating otherwise. In fact, of the quotes you've posted, only one specifically mentions Sadow being killed by Nadd and it's from an in-universe journal. Most of the others simply state he goes into stasis which does not preclude the possibilty of Nadd being trained by Sadow's spirit. After all, the Dark Side Sourcebook says Sadow went into suspended animation but then mentions Nadd "awakening Sadow's dark spirit". It's far from cut and dry.

AncientPower
I guess we won't ever really have a definitive answer, but the fact remains, even if he's a spirit, the fact that he's already far more powerful before he gets far more powerful himself is pretty indicative.

If people are following Sadow's "most powerful" accolades, then he's above Hord.

What happened to the belief that Nadd was subservient to Ragnos? Mind you, I didn't find any evidence of it either, but when did the theory evaporate?

UCanShootMyNova
Probably around the time Vitiate shed his limitations.

The Merchant
Nadd being a servant to Ragnos from what I can tell was some belief held by KMC way back in 2005, and from reading the comics there's really nothing that indicates he was a servant to him at all. Only implication I got was how Ragnos was the Dark Lord of the Sith when Kun and Ulic became Sith. Of course IIRC Tales of the Jedi before the Golden age of the Sith arcs were written with the intentions that Sadow wasn't a Dark Lord but rather a mere Sith Magician who was exiled by the Dark Lords, but ofc that was retconn'd.

What accolades does Sadow have?

SunRazer
The one I was referring to before is like Ragnos'. Vague quotes about being the "greatest" of the Ancient Sith Lords, and it's a character opinion anyway.

Azronger
The one where a guy says that he's the greatest who's buried on Korriban? That's worth jack shit, lol.

SunRazer
Didn't say it was particularly salient, just that if it was being used, it'd apply to Hord as well.

But pretty much nobody here believes it, as you can tell by the people who rank Ragnos and Hord above Sadow.

Why is Ulic, a Force novice, rated so highly?

What criteria are you using here?

NewGuy01
Some statement or another.

Canonical statements declaring him to be second only to Kun.

Doubtful

In his own era, sure.

But Ulic was a relative Force newb in the ways of the Sith. Ranking him higher than bonafide ancient Sith Lords is just ridiculous.

The Merchant
Ragnos
Hord
Sadow
Pall
Adas
Kun
Ludo
Nadd
Muur
Ulic

No real order.

Haschwalth
So, i'm guessing Kotor characters don't apply under this list?

Geistalt
1. Valkorion
2. Darth Nihilus
3. Exar Kun
4. Darth Revan
5. Ulic Qel-Droma
6. Marka Ragnos

10.naga sadow
11.Karness Muur.

I'd probably have Vaylin around 5.

Rockydonovang
vaylin's more powerful than revan yea

NewGuy01
Vaylin isn't a Sith Lord, and if she were she'd be well above Darth Malak. laughing out loud

S_W_LeGenD
Vaylin, Valkorion, Arcann and Revan (Dark) are Sith Lords. Get your facts straight, people.

I'd argue just about everyone you have below Malak is above Malak. erm

Didn't really bear the torch like Nadd/Kun did. he was a selfish, lying jerkass that siezed power for himself using betrayal, sorcery, and other sith techniques. How does that not constitute being a sith lord?

Not trying to argue, I'm just wondering.

Vitiate and Revan were both Sith Lords, at one time or another. The others obviously weren't.
