With the secret alliance between Emperor Vexen and Arcann established, a newfound sense of purpose filled Draconis' heart. The potential for the Sith Empire and the Eternal Thrones to reshape the galaxy was tantalizing, but the whispers of the dark side's temptations remained ever-present.

Emperor Valkorion recognized Draconis' thirst for power and his vulnerability to the dark side's allure. In an effort to further bind
Draconis to the Eternal Throne and guide him down a path of eternal power, he proposed a journey of exploration—one that would take them to the ruins of Zakuul, Nathema, and Ziost.

Their journey began on Zakuul, the capital of the Eternal Throne's dominion. Valkorion led Draconis through the ancient and sprawling cityscape, revealing the secrets hidden beneath its gleaming surface. They descended into the depths of the planet, where forgotten catacombs held the knowledge of centuries past.

Draconis was entranced by the ancient Sith lore that permeated Zakuul's underground, a history that had been preserved and altered by the Eternal Throne. Valkorion showed him the power of the Eternal Fleet, the technological marvels of the planet, and the dark side energy that coursed through every inch of Zakuul.

From Zakuul, they ventured to Nathema, a world forever scarred by the dark rituals of the Sith Emperor Vitiate. The desolation of Nathema served as a chilling reminder of the consequences of unchecked power. Valkorion recounted the story of Vitiate's ascent to godhood and the horrors he had unleashed.

Nathema's barren landscape and eerie silence left an indelible mark on Draconis, a reminder of the dangers of embracing the dark side without restraint. He could feel the weight of the ancient darkness that clung to the world, a darkness that had consumed even the most powerful of Sith.

Their journey reached its climax on Ziost, where the power of the dark side had once been harnessed on a planetary scale. Draconis witnessed the ruins of the Sith capital, its streets twisted and shattered by unimaginable forces. Valkorion showed him the remnants of the Sith rituals that had shattered Ziost's very core.

As they stood amidst the wreckage of Ziost, Valkorion's voice echoed with a mixture of reverence and warning. "Emperor, these worlds bear witness to the potential and the perils of the dark side. The path to eternal power lies before you, but it is fraught with danger."

Draconis, his ambition burning brighter than ever, gazed upon the ruins with a newfound determination. He knew that the dark side's temptations were powerful, but the promise of eternal power was too enticing to ignore.

Their journey through the ruins of Zakuul, Nathema, and Ziost had begun to set Draconis down a path that would lead him deeper into the embrace of the Eternal Throne.

Draconis and Valkorion stand amidst the remnants of the past, the shadows of their destiny stretching out before them, and the allure of eternal power beckoning them onward.
