Sisters of Seelah The Sisters of Seelah was an all - female political faction of the Lost Tribe of Sith on Kesh during the Time of the Rot around the 3000 BBY . They believed that the true founder of the Lost Tribe of Sith was Seelah Korsin and considered Yaru Korsin and his daughter Nida Korsin as traitors to the Tribe . They were unhappy that Seelah ' s role in the Tribe ' s history had been marginalized and demonized . Sisters considered themselves as sisters in the spirit of Seelah . Like their role model , the Sisterhood practiced selective breeding and saw themselves as perfect specimens of humanity . By 3000 BBY , Iliana Merko had become the leader of the Sisters of Seelah . She attempted to coerce the Caretaker Varner Hilts into manipulating the Testament of Yaru Korsin to give a sympathetic view of Seelah Korsin . However , their attempt to manipulate history failed when Hilts revealed that the actual reading of the Talisman was carried out by a holocron recording of Korsin himself . The presence of the Sisters of Seelah at the Circle Eternal in Tahv attracted the attention of several rival Sith factions including Force 57 and the Korsinite League . After Hilts ' Keshiri assistant Jaye Vuhld estimated that the Keshiri calendar was eight days behind the Galactic Standard Calendar , Hilts convened the reading of Yaru Korsin ' s Testament eight days prior to the official date . While the Sisters gained no benefits from the Testament , Hilts discovered a secret recording beneath Korsin ' s holocron . This recording turned out to be instructions from the ancient Sith Lord Naga Sadow to his subordinate Yaru Korsin . It eventually transpired that the Tribe ' s ancestors were not " great conquerors " but were rather slaves of Naga Sadow who had become stranded on Kesh during the Great Hyperspace War . All the Sith factions including the Sisters of Seelah were upset to learn about their Tribe ' s " inglorious history . " Iliana attempted to justify her ancestor ' s actions by claiming she wanted to purify the Tribe from the Red Sith . She also destroyed the holocron in a desperate attempt to hide the Tribe ' s true history . This revelation about the Tribe ' s history sparked a series of violent riots and killings known as the Great Crisis which led to the razing of several cities across Keshtah Minor , the continent that was the Tribe ' s domain . The Sisters of Seelah took part in the fighting but eventually fell apart due to internal infighting . Iliana survived the fighting and fled to the Kesh Sith Temple in an attempt to escape the other Sith factions . There , she managed to find statues of Seelah Korsin and the skeletal remains of Seelah herself . Unable to comprehend the " inglorious history " of the Tribe and the fact that her role model had died alone , she destroyed Seelah ' s skull . Later , she encountered Varner Hilts and Jaye Vuhld , who convinced her to join their quest to find Korsin ' s " secrets " that could save the Lost Tribe . They discovered that Korsin was aware of the existence of a second continent known as Alanciar , or Keshtah Major . Using this new information , Hilts was able to unite the various Sith factions who then elected him as their new Grand Lord . Iliana subsequently became his wife and Grand Consort .
