City of the Night



The City of the Night was a Nightsister stronghold on Dathomir. Built on a small island, it sat a few miles off the coast of an uninhabited continent, some distance from the main continent.

History
The script of the builders was unknown to the Nightsisters, but even casual observation could tell that the city was at least several hundred years old. It may have had some relation to the thousand-year-gone training facility of the New Sith Wars.

Some years into the modern era, the Burning Rock Clan and several other Nightsisters - some traditional clans, others living in secret among the Light Side witches - felt the balance of the Force shift. In 17 ABY, a Dark Side-using, beast-like alien kidnapped or killed a few Burning Rock Nightsisters. Unsettled and threatened by the now-stronger Red Hills Clan, they used wooden ships and old Imperial vehicles to relocate to the distant city. They named it the City of the Night.

Some time thereafter, Darius Malakai arrived in orbit with his battlemoon, the Mirage Obsidious. Malakai began logging and mining operations, and killed or captured the Tainted Earth Clan and Fire Mountain Clan. Rather than present their allegiance to the Dark Lord (who had shown no interest in them), many Nightsisters decided to avoid him at all costs, and left the main continent for the ancient city.

Many of Dathomir's Nightsisters live in the City of the Night; most have been there. The city's population is estimated at 1,000.
