Entry #001

"I am not one for idle retrospective, but sometimes my hand is forced. As heir to House Saltaeon I must study my ancestors, which is a difficult task considering the mass amount of ancient lore that I can look through. These entries will serve as a means to collect my thoughts in a concise manner, and to divide different topics and parts of history into more manageable chunks. This first entry will be to set the groundwork, to talk about what Saltaeon is, or what they should be. Disclosing my personal opinions about the family is not quite appropriate for these entries and I will attempt to write as though looking at the family from an outside perspective.
I suppose as good a place to start would be the current Patriarch, Darth Vhial. The Dark Lord is of course my father, and has acted as Patriarch since the death of my grandfather during the Sacking of Coruscant. Note his title, Darth Vhial and not Darth Saltaeon. This comes down to family tradition that we still adhere to, in that to hold the title of Lord or Darth Saltaeon one must hold the approval of the majority of the family. My grandfather was Lord Saltaeon, a feat he achieved by taking advantage of war to reduce the number of rivals, though his reign lasted just a few years. Darth Vhial is a respectable Sith in terms of strength and experience, but he has certain ideals and goals that do not sit well with the rest of the family, and thus he is named Darth Vhial. This primarily comes from his involvement with the Sphere of Biotic Science, rather than the more traditional Sphere of Ancient Knowledge that my grandfather and his father were members of.
Since Darth Vhial became Patriarch the family, and powerbase, has become substantially more public, even going so far as to maintain several large plots of land across major worlds in the Empire and keeping a small defensive fleet. This massive change came about from when Darth Vhial served his previous master, some Darth Valdes or the like, and was required to fill the public role of advisor to his master.
Before Darth Vhial there was Lord Saltaeon, a warrior of little renown and an alchemist of little talent. His name was barely recorded, he had no allies and very few enemies. A ghost in the shadowed parts of the Empire. Lord Saltaeon fought throughout the Great Galactic War, but did not live to see its end. During the Sacking of Coruscant Lord Saltaeon was present at the attack on the Senate Tower led by Darth Angral, but was killed during a counter attack by Republic security forces and at least one Jedi. Thus ending the era of Lord Saltaeon.

With that topic covered, I would like to briefly mention the ideal Saltaeon. And that is a Sith knowledgeable in the arts of Alchemy and Sorcery. This stems from the earliest founders of the House practicing both those arts, and as tradition they have stayed with the family over the years. Many Sith who have held the family name have strived to advance their alchemical or sorceress knowledge further than the last, but there are naturally limits to that. And so in recent generations there has been a larger focus on alchemy, although thanks to my father’s contribution I do not believe any can surpass him. We will see with time. Maybe my brother will come close one day. I do believe that House Saltaeon may hold one of the largest repositories of lore concerning Sith Alchemy in the modern Empire, though much of it is restricted in access even to myself.
But this concludes my first recorded study of Saltaeon, going forwards the topics will dive further into history and more unique aspects of our culture."
