Once you're ready, {{KotOR|Korriban|Yuthura Ban}} takes you to meet the academy's Master, Uthar Wynn. He addresses you and other prospective students in the hub of the academy:

{{KotOR/Hide}}

{| {{prettytable}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||Uthar Wynn:|Greetings, prospective students. It appears we have a late entry. Who do you bring before me, Yuthura? A young human, bristling with the Force?}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Yuthura Ban:|A human that has had some training, it seems, Master Uthar. Very promising, I think.}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Shaardan:|[[../Korriban#Shaardan|Promising? Hmmph. That one's not worthy to lick spit off your shoes, master.]]}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Lashowe:|[[../Korriban#Lashowe|I met this one in the colony... unworthy, if you ask me.]]}}
|}

{| {{prettytable}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||Uthar Wynn:|That I'll judge for myself, thank you. Tell me, human... what do you know of the ways of the Sith? What preconceptions has your mind been polluted with?|C=5}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||1.|I've killed too many Sith to have preconceptions about them.|W=20%}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||2.|I don't know anything about the Sith, to tell the truth.|W=20%}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||3.|I know that the Sith are powerful. A force to be reckoned with.|W=20%}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||4.|The Sith are evil and have surrendered themselves to the temptation and corruption of their power.|W=20%}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||5.|The Sith do what they want and pay no heed to duty or discipline.|W=20%}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Uthar Wynn:|Most impressive, if it is true. Those who were too weak to stand against you deserved their fate, so expect no retribution from us. There is much you can learn from the Sith, and we from you.}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||Uthar Wynn:|An honest if evasive answer. Likely it is more true than you realize. Allow me to speak of the deeper matters at hand.}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||Uthar Wynn:|A diplomatic answer, if not the core of the matter. Our power is obvious. The question in truth goes much deeper than the surface.}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||Uthar Wynn:|An honest answer, and one I would expect from anyone who has been exposed to those sad relics amongst the Jedi. As always, young human, the truth is not quite so simple.}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||Uthar Wynn:|Untrue. The Force demands discipline from all who use it, and the Sith demand duty. The truth goes far beyond such a superficial evaluation.}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Uthar Wynn:|The Jedi equate the light with goodness and strength and the dark with weakness and evil. That is their tradition and it is truly no surprise that they cling to it for comfort. We, however, do not treat the Force as a burden. We treat it as a gift, a thing to be celebrated. We use it to acquire power over others... and why should we not? Because the Jedi say we should not? We are as the Force is meant to be. The Jedi would hide that from you... they would tell you the dark side is too quick, too easy, all so that they need never challenge the passions that lie within them. Joining with us means realizing your true potential. It means not stifling yourself solely for the sake of hide-bound shamans and their antiquated notion of order. Be what you were meant to be.|C=5}}
|}

{| {{prettytable}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||Uthar Wynn:|What say you, Lashowe? Are you ready to learn the secrets of the dark side? Dare you?}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Lashowe:|I dare, Master Uthar! I am ready!}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Uthar Wynn:|Brash and fiery, as expected. Turn that passion to your advantage, child. What of you, Mekel? Are you ready?}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Mekel:|I am, Master. More than ready.}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Uthar Wynn:|I sense much anger within you, young one. That is good. That will provide you power. And Shaardan... what of you?}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Shaardan:|I am always ready!}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Uthar Wynn:|I see. You had best gather your wits for the trial ahead, boy, or you will not last. And you, young human? Does this interest you? Are you ready to learn more of what I speak?}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||1.|And what of my companions?}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Uthar Wynn:|Your slaves? They are irrelevant. They may accompany you, so long as they do not interfere with us or with your training. Are you ready or not, young one?}}
|}

{| {{prettytable}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||2.|I am ready to learn more.|C=2}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||3.|I don't know...}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||4.|But... power without consideration of morality is a weakness.}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Uthar Wynn:|Are you? I can see into your heart, young human, and I see the dark kernel that is there. If it is ready to sprout remains to be seen.|W=20%}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||Uthar Wynn:|And so shall it be.|W=20%|B=dark}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||Uthar Wynn:|An honest answer. You will make little progress, however, if you do not come to learn that any opportunity, even an unsure one, must be snatched.|W=20%}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||Uthar Wynn:|Ha ha ha! You are brave to argue, young one. I have met few students who would speak so openly to me. Ask yourself first what this 'morality' is? How is it created? Who does it benefit? Where do your notions of 'good' and 'evil' come from? You may come to the realization that morality is but an obstacle to overcome... or not. The discovery is yours to make, should you be ready.|W=40%}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Uthar Wynn:|Now, then. All of you five recruits have shown a degree of facility with the Force... you all have the potential to become true Sith. Only one of you, however, will succeed. The one who succeeds will be admitted to the academy as a full Sith. All others must wait until next year and try again... if you survive. My pupil, Yuthura, shall be your teacher and master while you attempt to prove yourselves. Heed her words.|C=4}}
|}

{| {{prettytable}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||Yuthura Ban:| As Master Uthar said, none of you are true Sith *yet*. For that to occur, one of you must do enough of worth... gain enough prestige... to be selected. What is an act of worth? You must learn that for yourselves. Remember that you are competitors, here... fight for your destiny, or go home.}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Uthar Wynn:|If you wish to gain a lead over your competitors, the first of you to learn the Code of the Sith and tell me of it will be rewarded. The rest is for you to discover. Welcome to the dark side, my children... your one chance at true greatness lies here.}}

{{KotOR/Journal|The Way of the Sith|You have managed to enter the Sith academy as a hopeful vying with several others to become the one who will be finally admitted as a full Sith.

;This is a small identification card marking you as a student within the Sith monastery on Korriban. It will allow you to come and go as you wish.

You're taken to your [[../Sith Academy#Bedroom|bedroom]] to the northwest of the academy's hub, where Uthar remains, kneeling to meditate.

{{KotOR/Hide}}

{{KotOR/Dialog||Uthar Wynn:|Greetings, young one. You have much to do, yet... you have gained little prestige. You will have to work quickly if you hope to best the others.}}

{{KotOR/Dialog||Uthar Wynn:|Oh? It is no more complicated than I said. Perform impressive deeds or bring me a suitably valuable artifact from the Valley of the Dark Lords.|C=2}}

|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||1.|Where is this valley?|C=2}}

{{KotOR/Dialog||Uthar Wynn:|There is an exit that leads to the surface of the planet... the valley is only a short trip from there. It is not difficult to find.|C=2}}

{{KotOR/Dialog||2.|I want to know some more about you.}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Uthar Wynn:|You wish to know more about me, do you? And why would I indulge your idle curiosity? Will we be good friends, you think? I strived many years to hone my power until I was able to drive out my predecessor and rule the academy. If you are smart, you will aim to do the same, or better. There is nothing else that you need to know. Do not ask again, young one.}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||4.|I'll be on my way.}}

{{KotOR/Dialog||Uthar Wynn:|Indeed. You have much to do, yet.}}

Gain prestige:

{{KotOR/Journal|The Way of the Sith|You have managed to gain some prestige, impressing Master Uthar, but it is not yet enough for him to declare you the victor in your contest with the others. Speak to Yuthura or continue to look around the academy and the Valley of the Dark Lords to find ways to curry favor with Master Uthar.}}

===Bedroom===
Your bedroom is at the end of a corridor to the northwest of the academy's hub. There's a footlocker by your bed, in the northwest corner:

===Star Map: Korriban===
The corridor exits your bedroom to the southeast. As you travel south you'll pass your instructor Yuthura Ban standing at the foot of her own bed on the right, to the west. She speaks to you:

{{KotOR/Dialog||1.|Your favorite prospect?|C=3}}

{{KotOR/Dialog||Yuthura Ban:|Absolutely. By my estimation, you are far more likely to achieve the prestige necessary to join the Sith than any of the others. As a matter of fact, I am so certain of that that I'm willing to offer you an opportunity of the once-in-a-lifetime variety. Would you like to hear it?|C=3}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||1.|Absolutely.|W=33%}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||2.|Do I have a choice?|W=34%}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||3.|But I don't even have any prestige, yet!|W=33%}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Yuthura Ban:|Good. I do so adore someone who's willing to take a chance.}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||Yuthura Ban:|Not really. Oh, don't worry... what I have in mind will benefit us both, you can be sure of that.}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||Yuthura Ban:|'Yet' being the operative term. As I said, you have my utmost confidence.}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Yuthura Ban:|As I said, you're no doubt going to be the one whom Uthar chooses to become a Sith. With my help, of course. Once that occurs, he will take you into the Valley of the Dark Lords to the tomb of Naga Sadow to administer the final test. There you and I will be alone with him. The perfect time to, shall we say, arrange for a change in the academy's leadership?|C=3}}

{| {{prettytable}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||1.|What's so important about this tomb?|C=2}}

{{KotOR/Dialog||Yuthura Ban:|The tomb is an ancient ruin on the surface that was visited years ago by Darth Revan and Darth Malak. They discovered a Star Map there of great importance.|C=2}}

{{KotOR/Dialog||Yuthura Ban:|Reaching that map, as they did, is part of the final test. At any rate, it is not the tomb that is important. That Uthar will be alone is what is important.|C=2}}

|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||2.|What's to stop me from telling him about this?}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Yuthura Ban:|I suppose you could do that. Even the hint of betrayal from his pupil and Uthar would move to eliminate me. But this is a very good opportunity for you... you can start off your Sith career as the right hand of the head of the academy: me. Uthar will not offer you that. Do you believe Uthar would not be aware of this? He would quickly figure out what you have to gain by betraying him... and would never believe someone would pass that up. Tell Master Uthar what you wish. Were I you, I would think first of what the consequences of such an action might be.}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||3.|And what's your part in this?}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Yuthura Ban:|My 'part' in this is to help you gain enough prestige... and slow down the progress of the other hopefuls. I want you in that tomb when the time is right. We destroy Master Uthar together and I take his place... and you take your place at my side. A beautiful plan in its sheer simplicity.}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||4.|How do I know this isn't some test?}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Yuthura Ban:|*chuckle* You must not know much about the Sith, yet. If Uthar were to even suspect that I might be trying to supplant him, true or not... Well, let's just say that he wouldn't likely stop to ask too many questions before ensuring I was dealt with.}}

If you want to know more about these ruins on the surface, she confirms you can only gain entrance to the tomb of Naga Sadow in the company of Master Uthar, so even as a light side character you must prove your worth to him by gaining prestige to be admitted as a full Sith:

{{KotOR/Hide}}

{| {{prettytable}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||3.|I want to know more about these ruins on the surface.}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Yuthura Ban:|I have been involved in the work there over the last couple of years, but not often. Most of the excavating is left to the students. What did you wish to know?}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||1.|Is there any way into the tomb of Naga Sadow?}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Yuthura Ban:|Not unless you are accompanied by Master Uthar, no. It is strictly forbidden... and I truly doubt you could bypass the doors to the tomb with anything less than ship blasters. Even then, perhaps.}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||1.|There's no other way inside?}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Yuthura Ban:|None. I do not even know how Master Uthar gains entrance, to tell the truth, though I look forward to discovering that fact. I have searched many times, so do not bother... there is no other way. Do not fret, however. Simply get the prestige you need and you will see the tomb soon enough.}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||2.|Why are the Sith so interested in these ruins?}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Yuthura Ban:|We could learn much about the history of the ancient Sith... why they were on Korriban and why they left. Perhaps we could learn more about the origin of the Force, itself. With that knowledge could come great power.}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||3.|I've heard enough.}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Yuthura Ban:|As you wish.}}

If you ask her to tell you about herself she'll mention she was from Sleheyron, and if you return it's easy to persuade her you'd like to know more about her:

{{KotOR/Hide}}

{| {{prettytable}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||5.|Tell me about yourself.}}

{{KotOR/Dialog||Yuthura Ban:|About myself? I am originally from Sleheyron, if you must know. I was a slave to a cruel master, Omeesh the Hutt. I am sure you don't need to know more.}}

{{KotOR/Dialog||Yuthura Ban:|I did. I also said that you didn't need to know more. Why are you asking?}}

{{KotOR/Persuade|Easy|1.|[Persuade] I just would like to know more about you, that's all.}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Yuthura Ban:|[Success] I... see. Very well. I suppose there's no harm in the tale. As I said, I was originally a slave to one of the Hutts. The Hutts control everything on Sleheyron, and a slave is nothing to them. I was determined not to be 'nothing'. One night when the drunken worm had me alone in his chambers I stabbed him and escaped the compound. I stole onto a cargo ship and was not discovered by the crew until they reached the next system. They left me for dead on a desolate planetoid, alone... but that was fine by me. I was glad to be anywhere other than Sleheyron. It was not luck that I was eventually rescued, of course. The Force was strong with me, though I didn't know that at the time. Not until the Jedi told me, that is.}}

====Double-Double-Cross====
A Sith guard patrols the corridors to the west of the academy's hub:

;Greetings, Student.

Two male Sith students wander the main corridor between the east and west ends of the academy, and their comments may shed some light on how you might gain prestige:

{{KotOR/Hide|Sith Student}}
;Sorry, I don't have time to speak. My training awaits.
;You aren't even a full Sith. Don't bother me.
;Get out of my way. I don't have time to deal with hopefuls.
;Come back when you've taken your final test. If you survive it.
;If Master Uthar gives you an order, you'd better follow it. There were some students who disobeyed him and now they're hiding out on the surface somewhere.

;There are some students in hiding that refused to follow an order. Master Uthar wants them found and dead... and is offering a reward for it, too!

;Just be careful if you go into the valley. I hear there's a hermit living in the hills that kidnaps students.
;The former master of the academy, Jorak Uln, is supposedly hiding out in the hills on the surface as some kind of mad hermit.

;Word is that one of our experimental droids went mad and escaped and is hiding in the ruins. I wonder why we don't just gather up and destroy it?
;One of my friends went to find that crazy droid that's hiding in the ruins in the valley. He hasn't come back, yet.

;Ha! It's great to be on the winning side, isn't it? We've been crushing the Republic at every battle so far!
;The latest reports say the Republic is on the run. Before long the Sith will be ruling the entire galaxy.
;Darth Malak is one of the greatest Sith leaders ever. I hope he comes back to the academy before I leave.
;It is my most fervent hope to serve under Darth Malak once my training is complete. Don't you feel the same?
;
<!--
;Rumor around the academy is that you had something to do with those rebel students being caught, finally. They got what they deserved, I say.

;I was told that you actually met the old master of the academy, Jorak. Is the hermit as mad as they say?

;The buzz is that you took care of that crazy droid out in the ruins. That's pretty impressive.

;Hmm. So you got enough prestige to win out, I hear. We'll just see if you make it through your final test.

;I heard that Yuthura Ban was dead. I suppose that means Master Uthar will be taking a new apprentice, soon.
;Did you hear? Yuthura is dead. Master Uthar said so. I bet she got too impatient and failed to assassinate him. Idiot.

;Master Yuthura has taken over the academy. Everyone's talking about it! I guess she finally got rid of Uthar, somehow.
;Have you heard? Yuthura... I mean Master Yuthura has taken over the academy! Well done, I say!-->

Hijata and two other Sith students standing on the southeast side of the academy's hub do likewise. Uthar Wynn kneels in the center, meditating:

Normally, the one who gains the most prestige would engage in a final trial... two of the students would fight. This time it will be Yuthura who battles, though she does not know it. Perhaps it will be you who combats her? Yes... perhaps so. This is what you can do. Give this pad to Adrenas... he will put some poison in her bath.

You need to be moderately persuasive to successfully lie about saying something to him, although the outcome is the same as telling the truth or failing:

===Doubting Sith===
To the south of your [[../Sith Academy#Bedroom|bedroom]] and across the main corridor connecting the east and west ends of the academy, Kel Algwinn kneels to meditate at the foot of his bed on the left, to the east.

{{KotOR/Journal|The Code of the Sith|Yuthura has instructed you on the Code of the Sith. Master Uthar already stated the the first hopeful to come to him with full knowledge of the Code could gain prestige. If you take it to him, make sure you remember it well.}}

Experience is received each time you ask about the Code of the Sith, which can be exploited to [[../Experience#Level up|level up]] (although this is neither necessary nor recommended). You can ask her to explain each line, although this is unnecessary:

{| {{prettytable}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||1.|'Peace is a lie, there is only passion'?}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Yuthura Ban:|The Jedi would have you believe that peace is a desirable goal. That peace of the spirit is the way the Force is mastered, that a lack of conflict betters man. We know different. It is our passion... our hate and our desire... that fuels the Force. It is conflict that improves the lot of civilization and single being both. Conflict forces one to better oneself. It forces change, growth, adaption... evolution... or death. These are not our laws, but the universe's. Without conflict you have only stagnation.}}
|}

{| {{prettytable}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||2.|'Through passion, I gain strength'?}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Yuthura Ban:|What fuels your power with the Force but your passion? The stronger, darker emotions. Anger, hatred, fear... these passions empower us.}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||1.|What about love?}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Yuthura Ban:|Love is more dangerous than all those things. Love leads to anger and hatred more often that not... but it also leads to mercy, which is far worse. That, however, is a lesson for another time.}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||2.|Those seem like awfully negative passions.}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Yuthura Ban:|Negative? Compared to what? What keeps even the most rudimentary creature alive? Fear to run, anger to fight... without it a creature would most surely die.}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||2.|Are you saying we aren't anything more than a rudimentary creature?}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Yuthura Ban:|We are far more than them, perhaps, but in some ways we are little different. To think us creatures beyond the need of simple passions is a delusion.}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||3.|The Jedi say the opposite. How can both be right?}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Yuthura Ban:|The Force gives us all power, even the Jedi. It is our mastery of our passion that gives us the strength they lack.}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||4.|I see.}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Yuthura Ban:|It is our goal to be stronger, to achieve our potential and not rest upon our laurels. We are the seekers, not the shepherds.}}
|}

{| {{prettytable}}
{{KotOR/Dialog||3.|'Through strength, I gain power'?}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Yuthura Ban:|The stronger you become in the Force, the more power you will achieve. But always must you fight for your power. Without strife, your victory has no meaning. Without strife, you do not advance. Without strife, there is only stagnation.}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||4.|'Through power, I gain victory'?}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Yuthura Ban:|How many sorts of victories can you imagine? Peaceful victory? Victory by sacrifice? A truce, an achievement? Unless the victory is achieved by demonstrating that your power is superior, it is only an illusion. Temporary at best. We seek more.}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||5.|'Through victory, my chains are broken'?}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Yuthura Ban:|This... has been argued over, and often. The chains represent our restrictions, both those placed upon us and those we place upon ourselves. Ultimately the goal of any Sith is to free herself from such restrictions. In a way, it is so we may do whatever we wish... but it is much more than that. One who has freed themselves from all restrictions has reached perfection. Their potential fulfilled. Perfect strength, perfect power, perfect destiny. Imagine it. That is our ideal, at any rate. It is said in Sith legend that the 'Sith'ari'... the perfect being... will one day lead us. But perhaps that is just a legend.}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||1.|You don't think the Sith'ari can exist?}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Yuthura Ban:|I... wonder what a being would be like. The legends say the Sith'ari will destroy us... and make us stronger than ever. But perhaps that is just a legend. Perfection is... a goal, I think, rather than a state of being. The Jedi would argue that, no doubt.}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||6.|'The Force shall free me'?}}
|-
{{KotOR/Dialog||Yuthura Ban:|The Force is our servant and our master. Our teacher and our companion. A weapon and a tool. Know it and you know the universe. Master it and you master the universe. Strive for perfection and the Force shall reward you.}}

There are five of them, if I remember... and they cannot be far, as they have no method to leave the planet. Likely hiding in the hills on the surface.}}

However, a 25% chance of success is sufficient, since the chance of at least one success from 9 attempts is 100 * (1 – (0.75<sup>9</sup>) ) or '''~92.5%''': in the unlikely event that all 9 attempts are failures, moderate dosages of anti-serum can be applied to allow more attempts to be made until one is successful.

==Dueling Room==
The dueling room is beyond the door in the south wall at the east end of the academy's main corridor. As you enter for the first time, you witness combat between a Sith duelist and a captive Republic soldier to the left, on the east side of the room. Once the duelist kills the captive, he moves over to the computer panel in the center of the room, opposite the door. There's a locked metal box in the southeast corner:
