The Rule of Two is a law established by Darth Bane stating there must be only two Sith Lords at any time: a master to embody power and an apprentice to crave it. Each apprentice was expected to eventually challenge and kill the master and then take an apprentice of their own. Bane created this rule after engineering the destruction of the Brotherhood of Darkness to end the infighting that had repeatedly undermined the Sith.
