a title conferred upon individuals who followed the Sithtradition.

Sith Lords drew upon the dark side

of the Force, using it to gain power. After Darth Bane established the Rule of Two, Sith tradition
dictated that there could only be two Sith Lords at any given time. By the time of Sheev Palpatine,
secretly the Sith Lord DarthSidious, the Sith fulfilled their goal of destroying the Jedi Order, and
Palpatine transformed the Galactic Republic into the Galactic Empire. This victory lasted for just over
two decades, when Anakin Skywalker, a redeemed Sith Lord, destroyed the Sith and brought balance
to the Force.
