Entry #003
"Third entry. Which I anticipate will be a bit shorter as I work through the journal of Qunir Saltaeon. This journal was burried with her in the family tomb, and is one of our oldest sources of information. It is roughly 3,300 years old. This places it well before the arrival of the Jen'jidai, but squarely during the reign of Dathka Graush.
Graush is a name that I must explain as it is an ancient name, but does not echo in our history like that of Ajunta Pal, Tulak Hord, or Naga Sadow. Graush was a Sith King who ruled Korriban. He and his warrior followers raged a bloodly civil war across the Holy World. And in the end Korriban was much more desolate than it was before, the valleys filled with blood. And Graush named himself Sith'ari. As the supreme ruler he turned from war and looked to Alchemy and Sorcery, giving birth to some of the most terrifying creations. He raised undead to walk Korriban and created a crystal which trapped the souls of the fallen, which then replaced his beating heart. The jounral of Qunir documents much of his rise to power, and the terrible atrocities that happened in his name.

His rule was bloody, perhaps more so than his conquest. I know about this conquest as the writings of Qunir reveal that members of House Saltaeon fought on both sides of the civil war. Though the majority did support Graush, they viewed him the best bet for survival. And they were right, those who fought against Graush were destroyed. Qunir does not seem to regret this, she looks at the situation entirely as a means of survival.
But the journal then goes on to describe the reign of the new Sith'ari. He accumulated mass numbers of corpses. Entire cities were torched and razed even during this aparent time of peace. Qunir marks him down as cruel and bloodthirsty, even by the standards of the Sith of that time. He passed the time with meaningless sacrifice and drinking of much blood. He traded his heart and soul for many more, and opened himself to cruelty which would know no ends. Qunir allegedly grew to lament her decision to support Graush. She atteneded multiple meetings with those that conspiried against him, those who would eventually send assassin's to behead the Sith'ari. But much of that is missing. I do not know if she eventually played a role in his death, or if she pulled out due to fear. But I know that Graush was killed, his artifacts scattered and his body entombed within the Valley of Golg. Qunir does not seem sorrowful about the loss of her leige, as it allowed her, her family, and her species to survive.
In the end I feel this shows an important part of my familites culture; to play both sides of a conflict and to act only for survival. This is required less in the modern era, but it shaped the history of Saltaeon. But this concludes the third entry."
