There is no fear, there is power
There is no death, there is immortality
There is no weakness, there is the Dark Side
I am the heart of darkness
I know no fear
But rather I instill it in my enemies
I am the destroyer of worlds
I know the power of the Dark Side
I am the fire of hate
The Universe bows before me
I pledge myself to the darkness
For I have found true life
in the death of the Light

The Sith Temple
Located in an Unknown Location that only the members of the Triumvirate of the Sith'ari know of. This temple holds the Great Secrets of the Sith, Ancient Holocrons have been found in the chambers of the Temple as well as Ancient Robes, Weapons and Books. Sith Acolytes, Disciples and Warrriors reside in the Temple and study the Teachings of the Sith. Lady Altari is the Leader of the Temple and Academy, the Academy is also ruled by a string of Sith Masters who answer to her and teach the Acolytes and Disciples. Demon Guards roam the grounds of the Temple for protection, infused with the Dark Side of the Force, Altari created these wretched beasts herself from Sith Alchemy.
The Temple is said to be the Head-Quarters of the TS. The Lords meet here to discuss issues whilst the Disciples and Higher ranking members train here frequently.
Teaching
Every Student is treated as nothing, a void in the Force, even upon becoming an Apprentice they are taught to be no more than a whisper in the Force. There are six students to every Master, these Students can duel freely in the Training Room. There are also a number of Meditation Chambers, Torture Chambers and Libraries. Each Student follows a strict routine and if they step out of line they are tortured to ensure no future mistakes occur. Students are picked from birth and trained in the ways of the Sith, they can leave the academy when they achieve the rank of Executioner/Acolyte although most Students stay and continue to become a Master.
The Headmaster
Darth Sadus, the Headmaster of the Academy.
Holocrons
Those who use the dark side are also bound to serve it. To understand this is to understand the underlying philosophy of the Sith.
The dark side offers power for power's sake. You must crave it. Covet it. You must seek power above all else, with no reservation or hesitation.
The Force will change you. It will transform you. Some fear this change. The teachings of the Jedi are focused on fighting and controlling this transformation. That is why those who serve the light are limited in what they accomplish.
True power can come only to those who embrace the transformation. There can be no compromise. Mercy, compassion, loyalty: all these things will prevent you from claiming what is rightfully yours. Those who follow the dark side must cast aside these conceits. Those who do not—those who try to walk the path of moderation—will fail, dragged down by their own weakness.
Those who accept the power of the dark side must also accept the challenge of holding on to it. By its very nature the dark side invites rivalry and strife. This is the greatest strength of the Sith: it culls the weak from our order. Yet this rivalry can also be our greatest weakness. The strong must be careful lest they be overwhelmed by the ambitions of those working beneath them in concert. Any master who instructs more than one apprentice in the ways of the dark side is a fool. In time, the apprentices will unite their strengths and overthrow the master. It is inevitable; axiomatic. That is why each master must have only one student.
This is also the reason there can only be one Dark Lord. The Sith must be ruled by a single leader: the very embodiment of the strength and power of the dark side. If the leader grows weak another must rise to seize the mantle. The strong rule; the weak are meant to serve. This is the way it must be.
My time here is ended. Take what I have taught you and use it well."
