They play the leading figure in the Sith faction. They will control ranking of the Sith, and govern the Sith. A Dark Lord may teach and train a Sith of any rank, but it is not necessary. They will be the primary overseer of the Sith, to observe them and call them out for a trial. The Dark Lord is also responsible for the punishment of any Sith who break the rules. A Dark Lord may also demote a Sith for their own reasons, but must create a thread stating what they have been demoted to and why.
