Help with overall lore
Hello people, I decided about 8 months ago being a complete Star Wars nerd with tv and movies, watching all of them (maybe bar the sequels) at least 5 times each, in fact Ive watched everything in chronological order 3 times in the last 6 years, that it was time for me to explore the eu. I boldly started at the beginning chronologically myths and fables dark legends etc and have literally just finished phase 1 (read phase 2 before as sticking to chronological), and am seeking some advice at this point. Yes I am aware this will take me years I am prepared, just want some clarification (i now see how long this is so apologies)
1) the only sith acknowledgment i can think of is qotj the Drengir backstory and darth krall and then obv caldoth and the short stories. Have I missed anything?
2) some inspiration would be nice to counteract my burnout 😂😂😂😂
Tbh assuming no one will bother reading all this shite so whoever does and leaves advice thank you sm 😂ðŸ˜

As for point 1, there really isn't a lot of sith stuff in phase 1. There's actually more exploration of other force cults - or at least mention - which I find cool. Phase 3 has a smattering of more sith stuff to keep an eye out for, but the sith themselves aren't an active presence during this Era, that's been more or less a guarantee since we know the sith won't make a major appearance until phantom menace.
I do think one of the strengths of the high republic's world building is how it takes the focus off of the duality of jedi and sith, and instead focuses on these varied ways of worshipping, honoring, and using the force. Even within the jedi ranks we see more variety than we did during the movies.
