Fane of the Sith

The Fane of the Sith is a temple located deep in Coruscant’s Underworld. Though this cannot be confirmed, some claim it exists on the planet’s floor.

History
The Fane of the Sith was created thousands of years ago by Darth Tagian. After killing his master, Darth Jenovus in her sanctuary on Myceillum, he traveled to Coruscant, where he sought to put an adapted version of her plan into motion. Jenovus believed that all planets had a Force energy in and of themselves, and that she could harness that power by causing a catastrophic event. Tagian, on the other hand, believed that causing a catastrophic event that would damage the planet was too risky and unpredictable of a plan. Instead, the same could be done by causing a small wound that constantly bled, producing energy that would continually be harvested.

The Fane of the Sith was the wound that Tagian envisioned. Traveling as far down into Coruscant’s Underworld as he could, the Sith Lord dominated a group of locals and forced them to build him a temple. The Sith Lord performed the ritual and plunged a knife into the ground. A viscous, black liquid began bubbling up, the Font of Evil.

Layout
The outside of the Fane of the Sith appears to be an ornate mausoleum made of stone. A stone coffin sits atop a raised dais, with a bust of what appears to be Marka Ragnos, the ancient Dark Lord of the Sith. The Fane of the Sith can only be entered into by opening the stone coffin and entering from there. A ladder built into the stone descends roughly 100 feet down a narrow shaft.

The entrance antechamber of the Fane of the Sith is a large stone antechamber, with large columns and a black obelisk. The columns house Sith poison darts, which fire in the direction of weight-sensitive plates under random stone tiles in the long room. Other stone tiles are fake, and instead break upon contact, revealing pitfalls complete with pikes. Concealed on the ceiling are four autoturrets.

The antechamber leads into the inner sanctum of the Fane of the Sith. Inside the inner sanctum are sleeping quarters presumably used by Darth Tagian, the Sith Lord’s archives, a meditation room, and the Font of Evil. The Font of Evil is a basin on the ground with a viscous black liquid bubbling out of it. The liquid is supposedly a physical manifestation of the wound in the planet that Darth Tagian inflicted on Coruscant. The site heavily radiates dark side energy, which has had many effects, from imbuing nearby items with the dark side to supposedly twisting those living too close into Coruscanti ogres.
