Apparently only he knew of its hiding place, as Tavion did not draw it until she was possessed, despite its power. He could hide the sword inside his scepter. He wielded a Sith sword, consisting of a metal blade enhanced by Sith sorcery, a weapon of the primitive Sith race. Marka Ragnos didn’t wield a lightsaber, the common weapon of the Sith Lords and the Jedi Knights. Ragnos’s ghost was forced back into his sarcophagus, screaming out a dark promise that he would return. When Jaden Korr entered the tomb, intending to stop Tavion, she managed to resurrect Ragnos by allowing his spirit to possess her body, but was nevertheless defeated by Jaden. She then planned to use the collected energy to resurrect Ragnos. Tavion used an ancient scepter made by Ragnos to drain residual Force energy and use it to empower her followers. Ragnos’s spirit dwelt in his tomb until once again returning from beyond the grave, this time summoned by a Sith cult known as the Disciples of Ragnos whose leader was Tavion Axmis, Desann’s student. The Great Sith War devastated the galaxy once again, but the Sith Empire was not restored. Ragnos lived on as a Force Ghost after his death, trapped within the confines of his tomb in the Valley of the Dark Lords on Korriban.Ībout one millennium after his death, Marka’s spirit was summoned from the grave using a pair of Sith talismans and crowned Exar Kun as the new Dark Lord, and Ulic Qel-Droma as Kun’s apprentice, all in an attempt to restore the lost empire of a thousand years prior.

His death resulted in the rise of another Sith Lord, Naga Sadow, shortly before the Great Hyperspace War. Immediately following his funeral, a schism erupted between the leaders of the Sith, and further events led to a major war with the Galactic Republic and ultimately, because the schism was never healed, the end of their interstellar empire. Before his death, he likely composed the epistle of Marka Ragnos. The details of his century-long reign are few, although his death marked the end of the golden age of the Sith Empire, despite his reluctance to continue expansion. Feared, obeyed, and admired among the Sith, he was considered to have been the greatest Dark Lord of the Sith of his time.
