Author's Notes: I am not an official Star Wars writer. It is possibly, and in fact likely, that what I write will conflict with the Star Wars canon in some way. This is to be considered a non-cannon attempt to predict the story of the sequel to Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords.
I'm open to story suggestions. In fact, as you can tell from the prologue, I have no idea where I actually want to go with this. I've got an idea for the end, and a rough idea of how I'm going to get there, but I want to let my story just sort of fly autopiolot, see what happens. Give me ideas of what you'd like to see happen. But for your convineince, I've already decided a couple of things about this story, specifically the nature of the True Sith, and Revan and the Exile's relationship.

Prologue:

How did the first Jedi discover the force? Was it an accident, or did the force somehow make itself known to him? Maybe he just always knew about the force.

In the old days, he Jedi Masters often debated as to the origin of the Jedi, and the Jedi teachings. The most popular theory was that the Jedi was taught to control the force by his meticlorians themselves. This theory often received criticism, however, because it assumes that the first Jedi would not need the training newer force sensitive individuals need to control the force.

Others believed that the Jedi first learned of the force on accident. They believed that he did not intend to do whatever lead him to discover the force, and that it was trough trial and error that he learnedsymbiosis with the living force within him. Critics said, however, that this conflicts with the Jedi teaching that there are no coincidences; there is only the force.

A rarer third story had also spread that the first force sensitives were Sith, and that the Sith have always existed, spreading knowledge of the force to anyone who wanders far enough into the Unkown Region. They call such a species the "True Sith," and believe that it is from them that the Force truly flows. Most Jedi refused to believe this, however, as it would mean that the force extendswholly from the Dark Side. And most Sith refuse to believe that beings greater than them control their destiny.

There were only three Sith who believed the story of the "True Sith." The first was Darth Traya, who albeit teaching such to anyone who would hear it, only managed to convince the two others. The second was Darth Revan, although he never spoke of this to anybody after his return to the light side of the force, and only to his servant Darth Malak before that (who assumed Revan was simply mad). The last was a Jedi Exile, who's given name has been lost from the Jedi records. She is usually called Darth Bodon, the Lord of Rage.

Whichever theory is correct, the opportunity to know had represented itself. The war between the Exile and the Sith who hunted her had been very damaging to the way of the force. It had destroyed all the Jedi and Sith, with the exception of Revan and Bodon themselves. And since both had banished themselves to theunknown regions until the "True Sith" were destroyed, many doubted they'd ever return.

The Jedi Records and the Sith Holocrons had been lost, presumed stolen. Many supposed that the Exile had taken them with her. Rumors stated that the records (at least the Sith ones) could be found in a secret academy in the polar regions of Telos. However, years of excavations there showed only a downed shuttle, some broken Hunter Killerassassin droids, and a water siphoning plant. Consequently, these stories were rejected as myth.

But you know that the Jedi exist today. Many of them serve as generals in the Clone Wars many of you have fathers and mothers fighting in as we speak. How, then, did they rise? Were the records found? No, to this day they're still lost (although other records have allowed us to piece together the information found in them). Did Revan and Bodon return from the Unkown Region? Not before the force was restored. The answer is that history repeated itself. That one force sensitive in the galaxy learned of the force on his own. It is thanks to one man that we now understand the force today, and that we continue to practice it with noforeseeable end to Jedi teachings.

But I'm getting ahead of myself. Allow me to read to you the story of how we came to understand the force. Of the one man who learned and ultimately saved the Force.
