Question Regarding the Tomb of Naga Sadow

Recommended Posts

Who is the Sith buried in the tomb of Naga Sadow that warrior retrieves the Ancient Lightsaber or I guess the "Warrior's Lightsaber" as it's called now 🙄. Naga Sadow existed before lightsabers were created. The only possible version of it would be a protosaber I think. So the Sith in question had to have been buried well after Sadow's death.

According to Wookieepedia, the 'Tomb of Naga Sadow', wasn't even built by or for Sadow, it was built during Tulak Hord's reign if not before. (As it houses a Rakatan Star Map and was the holding place for Khem Val, Tulak Hord's Deshade retainer).

Right, sorry, got distracted. Anyway, it's not actually clear who is buried in the tomb proper. Sadow himself used a poison-coated warblade, so it obviously wasn't his weapon and beyond which he was buried on Yavin 4, so despite being 'The Tomb of Naga Sadow', it's not his body there.

The garb of the remains does seem to fit Sadow's time period, though, so perhaps it's someone that Sadow had buried there?

As for the lightsaber, KOTOR and TOR seem to imply that retrieving a lightsaber from a tomb is a frequent final test on Korriban, so it may very well be that there are lightsabers placed in the tombs by the Academy Overseers (or left behind by Sith who visit the tombs for whatever reasons and don't survive) for that very purpose.

All the way back when Revan visited the Tomb of Naga Shadow, either Master Uthar or Yuthura Ban placed a ceremonial lightsaber in the tomb for him to retrieve while looking for the star map, so there is a tradition for such things. We also, sort of, know, that in same tomb, servants of some sort (be it Tulak Hord or Naga Shadow, or just some random workers/slaves who died in there) are buried in there too, and maybe also other sith. We know this because Revan ransacked their remains. As well as the remains of grave robbers too, so it is also possible that the lightsaber is left behind by a grave robber, for one reason or the other.

We also know that Tremel places, or has some one place, a sith warblade in the tomb of Ajunta Pall for the warrior to retrieve, so it is possible.
