- "Words have power. Proof is in the Sith scrolls I acquired. When read, they release malevolence as a safeguard against those who would unlock their secrets. Better to leave hundreds blinded with a binding curse than surrender power to a single fool."
- ―Sorzus Syn, Lord of the Sith[7]

History[]
The ancientDark Lord of the SithDarth Andeddu was the author of manySith scrolls which he hoarded in hisFortress on hishomeworld ofPrakith.[3]
After theGreat Hyperspace War in5000 BBY, the majority of Sith scrolls, among other artifacts, were destroyed by theJedi Order. LikeSith amulets, scrolls were deemed dangerous, since they propagated Sith teachings and often possessed the ability to drive their reader insane.[8][9]
In3997 BBY,[10] waywardJediExar Kun found ancient Sith scrolls[1] that were written byNaga Sadow[4] when he raided theTomb of Freedon Nadd.Freedon Nadd gave the scrolls to Kun after he opened the sarcophagus.[1]
