The Witches of Dathomir Prologue
On the far edge of the galaxy lies the hostile planet known as Dathomir. It is inhabited by many aggressive beings, including the Witches of Dathomir, a group of Force-sensitive women who ride fearsome rancors. There are two key clans of the witches - a group of Darksiders calling itself the Nightsisters and the Singing Mountain Clan that follows the lighter side of the Force.
The Nightsisters and Singing Mountain clans are at constant odds with one another - and with visitors who fail to show the proper respect. Visitors often find themselves siding with either side of the feud - benefiting from trade with these powerful indigenous creatures. Outcast clans continuously try their best to convince the visitors to work against the two main powers.
Dathomir can only be accessed by special charter transports operated by skilled pilots. Its terrain is highly dangerous. In addition to the rancors, the witches are a constant threat on the planet.
Upon their arrival on Dathomir, a representative for Omogg, a Drackmarian Warlord, greets brave explorers to warn them about the mysteries of the planet and the dangerous battle between the witch clans. From that point the visitors can start earning the trust of the Nightsisters or the Singing Mountain Clan.
Which side will receive your loyalty?

The Courtship of Princess Leia is a 1994 bestselling Star Wars novel by Dave Wolverton, published by Bantam Spectra. The Courtship of Princess Leia deals with the downfall of Warlord Zsinj and the circumstances leading to the marriage of Han Solo and Leia Organa.
The Witches of Dathomir (also referred to as either Dathomirians or Dathomiri) were a group of Human Force-sensitives native to the planet Dathomir. They were also known as the Daughters of Allya in honor of the wayward Jedi Knight Allya, who was banished to the planet around 600 BBY, and who they regarded as their ancestress. By the time of the Galactic Empire, Allya's descendants had divided into female-dominated clans that were named after regional landmarks. Each clan had a unique set of rules regarding Force usage, but all the clans held one rule above all others: "Never concede to evil".
