In 3000 BBY, the Caretaker Varner Hilts and his Keshiri servant Jaye Vuhld were forced to traverse through The Blocks in order to reach the mountainside Sith Temple since they had no uvak, winged reptilian beasts of burden. With the help of Iliana Merko, they discovered Korsin's secret map of Keshtah Major and were able to reunite the divided Tribe, which had splintered into twenty factions during the Time of the Rot and the Great Crisis. As a result, Varner Hilts became the new Grand Lord and Iliana became his Grand Consort. The husband and wife would usher in the Hilts Restoration, a period of "renaissance" in the Tribe's history which led to the conquest of Keshtah Major.
