The "Diamond of the Sith" refers to the four primary and ancient Sith worlds: K'eel Doba, Khar Delba, Korriban and Korris'ian. These worlds orbit a binary star system: K'eel Doba and Khar Delba orbit a dim red dwarf, while Korriban and Korris'ian travel around a nondescript yellow star. The two stars are gravitationally bound, but as there are no other systems in the area they do not particularly draw the attention of anyone to their "twinned" existence. Thus while the existence of Korriban has been rumored throughout the ages, and has been stumbled upon here and there by a few unlucky enough to find it, the existence of Khar Delba and its sister planet K'eel Doba has remained a tight secret.

Khar Delba is the home of the Temple of the Sorcerer clan of the Sith. The last great Sorcerer Dark Lord to lay claim to it was Aelvedaar; when the dark jedi over-ran the Sith Diamond 4,000 years ago, he departed from there to travel to Korris'ian, and from there iniatiated his final magicks to hopefully assure the eventual resurrection of the Sith. It is basically an arctic world, with a thin equatorial band of jungly-forest. It is currently protected by a chronotic shield placed there by Aelvedaar, that no one should find his Great Temple. That temple, at the time of Aelvedaar's return to the present, was occupied by Graysith and her first love, Darth Wicked.

Korris'ian was once a moon orbiting Korriban, but was moved by Sith magick into its own, closer orbit to ther little yellow sun the two planets share. Consisting of jungles and forests and meadows which hold a small population of tuk'ata, it once boasted a thriving "rural" population of Sith, who eventually relocated in entirety to K'eel Doba for protection. It is also the site of the Temple of the Weapons clan of the Sith. The last Dark Lord of this clan was Suranas Rean.

Korriban, the planet once orbited by Korri'sian, is basically craters and rock and desert and dust. It is, however, the site of the infamous Rael N'kuht, otherwise known as the "Valley of the Dark Lords," within which is hidden the Eternal Flame. The powers of this valley respond only to the desire and command of those who come to it in darkness; it is currently beneath a protective chronotic shield, placed there by Aelvedaar, and further guarded by native tuk'ata.

K'eel Doba is the secret and primary world of the ancient Sith civilization. It's capital city, Phrinnchatka, was placed beneath a chronotic shield at the time the dark jedi were over-running the Sith; this killed the populace but kept the secrets of the Sith safe from the dark jedi's prying eyes. It is an underground city with a great spaceport, Ch'arlingua. This is also the site of the Great Temple of the Warrior clan of the Sith, title of Dark Lord to which was misappropriated by Ankrist Roan but taken justly back by Dark Lord Recinis. Both city and spaceport have been hidden beneath the surface by Sith magicks; to any outside observer the planet is just another dreary rock and crater-strewn place of inhospitality, all other cities having long crumbled to dust, leaving absolutely nothing behind to prove a former existence.

4,000 years ago, in a final and magickal act Aelvedaar managed to reach out with the newly discovered powers of the All, to enter into the minds of the dark jedi and therein to send confusion and desire to kill each other. As a result, not only did they totally forget the positions of all of the Sith Diamond components -- with the exception of Korriban, which managed to whisper down through the ages as rumor -- but this led to the development of the dark jedi's creed that only two of them could exist together at any one time: a Master and an Apprentice. They then took the name of the "Sith" upon themselves, as since they gained their extra boost in dark Force through what they so briefly learned of the original Sith magicks; little does the majority of the current galaxy realize that the Sith were themselves once a mighty and thriving civilization.

UPDATE:

Ok, the planets are of course themselves still the same, still in orbit about their own stars. But with the return of the Sith, there are some modifications:

K'eel Doba is no longer crater-ridden and desolate. Recall that protective cover was due to Sith magical imagery; upon its return to the "now" after 4,000 years it is filled with a population of approximately thirteen million Sith. The spaceport, Ch'arlingua, is alive once more, filled with exotic ships from OTHER civilizations the ancient Sith themselves had conquered/ruled over... not to mention the infamous Sith fighters and warships (see "Chosen One" in ships descriptions). Phrinnchatka is the capital city, exotic, built with a strange admixture of lavish and ornate stone and gem combinations and magick-supported technologies. It is a beautiful world, with some jungles yet upon it; primarily cities and towns and such. The Warrior clan live here... and were known in their own time as the producers of a wonderful (and wicked!!) Sith brandy. Just ask Jasyn Lancaster...! They still make that brandy there.

Khar Delba is still an arctic world (it's orbital position hasn't changed) with that thin jungly band at its equator. Here is where the Sorcerer clan is congregated, approximately 7 million of them. Their major city is Choyapenthe; there is no major spaceport, as individual ships and transports would fly to the neighboring K'eel Doba for people to board on larger ones there. (Ch'arlingua is the biggie spaceport). Khar Delba is not as rich and lavish as K'eel Doba, but it is far from primitive. It has smaller towns and villages spaced around that equitorial band where life is able to prosper. The remainder of the planet ranges from taiga to tundra to arctic.

The lighting in both these worlds is tinged with orange-red, as they orbit a red dwarf star.

Korr'isian is more primitive, consisting of villages and so on. There are currently no Sith inhabiting this world, the Weaponry clan is living on Khar Delba with the Sorcerers. Korr'isian has forests and jungles and plains... your normal world left to go wild. Upon it, the Sith towns and villages that used to house the Weaponry clan are slowly falling into ruin... at the moment, they are empty.

Korriban is still desert, deserted, and dreary. The Valley of the Dark Lords has been moved by the dark magics of Entaris into the strange dimension called the Darker Realms, where it has been found and further protected beneath a chronotic shield. (See "chronotic shield" in items.) There are wild tuk'atas on both Korr'isian and Korriban (see "M'wonBo'o," "A'liya," and "GhrrlanDhrr" in descriptions) but they do not run wild on the more advanced of the Sith worlds.

UPDATE: Korris'ian, Korriban and their sun have been moved into the Elseness, effectively removed from the Universe and from other players.
