W00t! New Hyperspace Insider Supplement, by Abel Pena.
Don't have time to read the whole thing, but it looks to be full of enough Sith goodness to bring tears to Leto II's eyes.
EDIT: Scanned the doc, and this thing is better than the entire Insider 88. This should have replaced some of that other rubbish...

Wow. As a Sith fan, all I can say is, go Abel. That was excellent, and it makes the contents of Insider 88 look pitiful in comparison.

I just read it and  . That has a lot of information in it about the early Sith (species) and their ruler and his holocron that every one wants. It has five paragraphs about the clensing of the nine houses and about Palpatine's Sith life. Also, the section on the Prophets of the Darkside was cool and mentions the GOTV a lot in it.(Triclops is said to be Palpatine's great personal failure) It seems Lumiya is hinted a mastermind behind many things including the death of Flint and Stih spirits returning. Great Abel! Also, the thing includes :
A interview with Ray Park
Wallpapers of the beatuiful covers
The story and info about Lumyia from Galaxy Magizine #3
A sample of the three books Palpatine wrote
Another Short Story about a Jedi and Sith Spirits
Overall... this supplement alone was worth Hyperspace.

Is no the answer to this question?

Wow, we learn quite a few things (I've only read some)
This is basically the new stuff (a lot, at least for me)
-KOrriban is again called homeworld of the sith
-The Sith Species "attitude" was a result of an early encounter with Anzati
-The Sith Species was Left Handed
-Sith Priests: Kissai Sith Warriors: Massassi
-Adas was 3000 yers before the Republic (27000bbyy). The "True Sith" are just the Sith before the Dark Jedi Came!
-King Adas had charcoal skin and unified KOrriban. He was "massive, regal and encased in majestic ebon warrior armor"
-Adas was 300 years old when he earned of the title "Sith'ari"
-Rakata attempted to conquer Adas and the Sith, taught him how to do holocrons.
-Sith Lost, Adas died. everything he knew passed down in his holocron (complete sith teachings)
-HOlocron passed to the king's "Shadow Hand"
-Sith relocated to Ziost, made it their capital, but became ununifified
-Exiled Jedi called Jen'jidai by the Sith people, had lightsabers.
-Shadow Hand helped the exiles kill the ruling Sith monarch.
-Sith people concluded the Exiles were more powerful than their "god" the "Sith'ari"
-They gave teh Exiles Adas' holocron, they learned everything.
-After this, the reign the first Jen'ari (Dark Lord) began
-Lord Garu was the last to have Adas' holocron. Died around the Great Hyperspace War. Freedon Nadd found teh holocron eventually.
-7000 bby a few of the recently exiled Sith returned to attempt conquest, lost, revealed that the Sith were out there.
-Republic purging of Sith was so thorough as to rival the Bothan ar'kai
-Darth Ruin was an Umbaran named "Phanius"
-Ruin learned from surviving Sith Clans. He was a Dark Lord amongst many Sith he recruited, they betrayed him and so began the war.
-Belia Darzu was a changeling and a creator of Monsters
-Kaan was a narcissist
-Darth Millennial had 3 eyes
-Another one of Palp's groups caled "The Emperor's Eyes"
-A "Dark Jedi" Conflict 150 years before Naboo.
-Darth Sidious "Thyrsian Sun Guards" (pre-Empire)
-We learn what Lumiya's been doing (Battle with FLint in Vjun, Jax, Korriban, Nyssa, ADas Holocron, etc...)

That sounds *really* interesting.
It's a shame I used up my "two weeks free trial membership" three months ago... but... goddamit, there's always SOMETHING I want to read...
Edit: If it's as good as it sounds, I think Mr Pena has redeemed himself for the introduction of "Millenial" into the Darth lexicon*
Hmm... Darth Lexicon, there's a thought. 
* That said, "Lord Millenial" doesn't sound half too bad.

Sith'ari is a Sith title meaning "the Lord" or "overlord".
A new Darth: Darth Cognus, master of Darth Millennial.
I don't know if this was already in a source, but there's a retcon for the Korriban/Ziost discrepancy as to what the homeworld of the Sith species is. They came from Korriban, but massive infighting forced them to relocate to Ziost long before the exiled Jedi came.

Even if it was intended to be, it never really worked as the "Sith version" of the Chosen One prophesy anyway. If anything, it more accurately describes what Darth Bane did to the order. Destroyed it as it had previously been, and in doing so made it stronger than ever.
Anakin never "led" the Sith after all - and he was far from a "perfect" realisation of the Sith ideal.
My gripes aside, it seems to me that the whole "Sith'Ari" thing as it's depicted in KotoR has turned out to be a result of the integration between the Sith and the exiled dark Jedi. It's quite likely that the "final product" that we saw in KotOR was an amalgamation of both the exiled Jedi's knowledge of the "Chosen One" prophesy (corrupted to suit their own ends) and Sith culture and history.
Basically:
The Historical Sith'Ari + Legends + Dark Jedi Spin = "The Prophesy of the Sith'ari"
