The Death of Blurbs

Darth Plagueis wrote:Plagueis understood, too, that there were no powers beyond his reach; none he couldn't master through an effort of will. If a Sith of equal power had preceded him, then that one had taken his or her secrets to the grave, or had locked them away in holocrons that had been destroyed or had yet to surface.

Though neither this or the blurb bind Valkorion anyway since he's not a Sith. They only bind Vitiate

Still a good quote regardless.

Nope we still have this:

...but Plagueis recognises this testament is based on limited knowledge, and that some Sith could be above him, but if they were he has no proof of such because the records proving such have been destroyed. In order for this quote to hold true, you need to prove Plagueis had extensive knowledge of Vitiate and other TOR Sith, but that seems doubtful given that most PT accounts of history aren't even aware The Great Galactic War happened - let alone aware of the specific details of it.
