This empire was a Sith state established by the Rothes family in Scotland, taking control of the Sith population on that region of the British Isles. The empire became fractured during a war between Malcolm Rothes and his wife Cordelia, the former taking control of the Sith of the south of Scotland, while the latter took control of the northern Sith population. With the death of Malcolm Rothes, his remaining holdings were taken over by his wife, reuniting the empire of the Rothes family, despite minor opposition by what remained of Malcolm's loyalists.
