Under Darth Adazca's rule the ways of old were resurrected and the Ancient Sith Order arose. In this Order the "New Order" Rule of Two was replaced by one Master having no more than three Apprentices. Accepting the two Sith hopefuls Salem and Archer as his apprentice Darth Adazca kept his third position reserved for a mysterious warrior he had the honor of training with as a younger man. In addition, Darth Reed was placed as the second Master in the Order.
