A towering pyramidal structure at the rear of the [[Valley of the Dark Lords/Legends|Valley of the Dark Lords]] on [[Korriban]], the Sith Academy was made of stone and [[Durasteel/Legends|durasteel]] and reflected the sun framed at the apex of the structure. At the base of the Academy, the entrance was located at the top of a wide staircase and framed by two kneeling [[Humanoid/Legends|humanoid]] statues representing slaves bearing the weight of the Sith’s power. Symbolic of a Sith’s climb to power, the Academy’s main hall was located just past the main doors and contained dual stair cases leading to the upper levels. The center piece of the main hall was a narrow stone monument which was carved with the faces of Sith; the statue was meant to remind students that the climb to success meant crushing those who vie for power along the way. Containing jails in which [[Prisoner/Legends|prisoners]] would be kept before interrogation, the Academy’s lower levels contained many chambers for studying, lecturing, meditation, and training. The [[Sith Archives]] were situated off of the main hall and contained several levels of resources contained on scrolls and [[Holocron/Legends|holocrons]] as well as [[Datapad/Legends|datapads]] and [[Holobook/Legends|holobooks]].<ref name=”TOR” />

During the reign of Emperor [[Vitiate]], the Sith Library was situated off of the main hall and contained several levels and chambers of resources contained on scrolls and [[Holocron/Legends|holocrons]] as well as [[Datapad/Legends|datapads]] and [[Holobook/Legends|holobooks]]. Glowing an ominous violet, the technology in the Library was advanced and guarded by armed guards. Maintained by the [[Sphere of Ancient Knowledge]]’s reigning head [[Darth Thanaton]], the Library contained the [[Darth Vilus’s writings|teachings]] of [[Darth Vilus]], the holocron of [[Darth Iratus]], ancient Sith armor, and a variety of tablets. During the [[Korriban Incursion]], the Library was held by Jedi Master [[Wytho]], the stacks left to smolder and burn after the battle’s conclusion.<ref name=”TOR” />
