Fanclub Dathomir Fan Club - from kwa to witches!

Hey all, this is a gathering for anyone, who likes, loves, or is interested in the lovely, magical, ancient, somewhat deadly and continuity headache giving planet Dathomir!

I hope this thread grows.

 

According to the wook' so was the Book of Shadows written by Gethzerion and in real life was it first mentioned in Cracken's Threat Dossier, not CoPL.

Also, in CoPL so was 'nightsister' a term for any witch that fell (possibly even a term for any lawless) and they had not been organized until Gethzerion came along. This was later retconed

 

Good idea for a thread. I Hope this grows.

 

Darth Maul meets a Nightsister in a comic published in 2000, long before any link between Maul and the Nightsisters was known to exist. She asks Maul if he knows what she is.

The fact that the Kwi were once the Kwa was established in the “Infinity’s End” comic, also published in 2000.

 

Why not just do it for yourself?

------------

movie this from the Hapes thread:

Do you remember where you read that part? Because I don't remember it and can't find it in my CoPL pdf when I do searches.

We find out that in YJK: Shadow Academy so is Tenel Ka surprised to find out that her mother (Teneniel Djo) had captured Luke to be her husband when she was young and that she (Teneniel Djo) now was very much against that tradition.

 

I can confirm its on two wikis(wookieepedia and the german jedipedia), and no the german text isn´t just a copied transalation of the english one, so I doubt the wiki people just invented it.

 

They may have gotten it from a later, more obscure source like Cracken's Threat Dossier.

 

I'm not trying to say that it was not stated somewhere, just that it don't seems to be part of the original description, and I want to know where it is stated.

 

As I said yesterday, I don't know. I believe I've read it somewere somewhen. I thought it was in Courtship but it apparently isn't but I can't say where.
But the fact that it is found in two different wikis I would say confirms it is in the books somewere.

 

It's possible that the same person edited both wikis.

 

Given that the text surrounding it is pretty different I highly doubt that.

 

Although I am a huge fan of the Republic comic series, I did not like the 'Infinity's End' arc, amongst others because of Quinlan Vos' depiction. It is very clear that John Ostrander did not write those issues.

 

Same with me, never been a huge comic fan.

 

The lack of sourcing is problematic. Plus it's in the Witches of Dathomir entry but not in Allya's own entry.

This leads me to the conclusion that it should be treated as Dubious until someone can find the actual source for "Allya killed her mates whenever she birthed a son."

 

Well in the german wiki this is inside her article. So its defenetly no copy paste or same editor.

"In den folgenden Jahren vermählte sich Allya mit einer Reihe der männlichen Sklaven. Zuvor wurden den Männern die Folgen ihrer Entscheidung, die ihnen überlassen blieb, klar gemacht: Zeugten sie Töchter, so würden sie mit Geschenken und Macht über die anderen Sklaven belohnt werden. Entsprossen jedoch aus der Verbindung lediglich Söhne, so würden die Männer den Rancoren zum Fraß vorgeworfen werden."

"In the following years Allya married with a number of male slaves. Ahead of it the males were told of the consquences of their descision: If they concieved daughters they would be rewarded with gifts and power over the other slaves. But if the relationship concieved only sons the men would be fed to the Rancors."

 

The English Allya article has none of that:

https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Allya

But the Witches of Dathomir (English) article is similar to the German Allya one:

https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Witches_of_Dathomir

These traditions insinuated that Allya reduced the population to willing subjugation in a single lifetime, with the few who did not follow her becoming food for the rancors; among her followers, favored slaves were offered the chance to become mates, in the knowledge that if they fathered sons, they would be fed to the rancors.

Maybe there are clues in the Edit History for each one?

The point is that the info is clearly not in Courtship of Princess Leia itself.

 

You mean he is likable and don't constantly dance at the edge of the dark side?

You miss so much, you know.

 

Going by the edit history of the german one I would guess its either in New Essential Chronic or Crakens Thread Dossier, probably the later it seems.

And here it is @Gamiel, @Iron_lord Its on page 13 of Crackens Threat Dossier:

 

Thanks

Wonder why the author of that part of the Threat Dossier decided to ad that into the background of Allya & Dathomir. It dose not really feel that fitting with how it was presented in CoPL.

 

Why does it not fit? Men are said to be slaves in courtship, so why does a revealtion that the witches abuse and sometimes kill these slaves not fit?
