" Pantheon " is set in 3000 BBY , over two thousand years after the ancestors of the Lost Tribe of Sith landed on Kesh . This novella is told from the point - of - view of Varner Hilts , an elderly Sith who is the caretaker of the Tribe ' s historical records and lore . His assistant and close friend was Jaye Vuhld , a talented Keshiri mathematician . Together , they ran the Tribe ' s archives at the Kesh capitol building in the capital city of Tahv . Since the death of Grand Lord Lillia Venn during the " Night of the Upside - Down Meteor , " the Lost Tribe had been bereft of any cohesive leadership . The Tribe had been locked into a vicious civil war which had lasted over nine - hundred years and devastated much of the continent of Keshtah Minor . During the story , Iliana Merko , the leader of a breakaway faction known as Sisters of Seelah , visited Hilts and attempted to coerce him into giving her faction a favorable report during the upcoming Testament Day . The Sisters of Seelah revered Seelah Korsin , the estranged wife of the Tribe ' s founder Yaru Korsin , as the " true " founder of the Tribe . Hilts succeeded in buying time by claiming that the holocron containing Yaru Korsin ' s Testament would only activate on Testament Day . The Sisters ' presence attracted the attention of several rival Sith factions including the Golden Destiny , Force 57 , and the Korsinite League . Hilts and Jaye narrowly managed to avert violence by claiming that Testament Day was on that very day ; pointing out that Kesh ' s calendar was eight days behind the Galactic Standard Calendar . While this ploy worked , Iliana and the Sisters of Seelah did not gain any advantages from Yaru Korsin ' s Testament which sanctioned the banishing of Seelah and designated their daughter Nida Korsin as the new " Grand Lord . " However , Hilts mistakenly discovered that Korsin ' s Testament was recorded over an older recording which revealed the Tribe ' s " true history . " Instead of being " great conquerors , " the assembled Sith learned that their ancestors were merely lowly slaves and miners of the ancient Sith Lord Naga Sadow . The Tribe did not come willingly to Kesh but had instead become stranded during a mission to deliver Lignan crystal s to Sadow ' s forces during the Great Hyperspace War . This revelation horrified the various Sith attendees . In an attempt to hide their " inglorious past " , Iliana destroys the holocron with her lightsaber . Despite efforts by the Sith to hide their true origins , word of the recent Pantheon reaches the masses . This sparks a series of violent riots and mass killings known as the " Great Crisis " which results in the razing of several cities across Keshtah Minor . In the midst of this great crisis which threatens the existence of the Lost Tribe , Hilts and Jaye resolve among themselves to find the " true power " behind Yaru Korsin ' s throne which is located in the " Omen " , the ancient Sith starship which brought the ancestors of the Lost Tribe to Kesh . The " Omen " is buried beneath a mountainside Sith temple
