The Children of the Wailing Shade in 981 RSY
About
The Children of the wailing shade were once a major cult-terrorist order, cloaked in mysticism and fear. They were merciless, ruthless and with the outer rim lost planets where republic presence was not a major strong hold.The planet Keshtamor, where ancient sith echoes, their presence was like a plague rather than a syndicate.
History
During the year 701 to 841 RSY, the children of the wailing shade were a major threat to the republic and the travelers passing through the sector of malachor in which keshtamor was. None dared to ever travel there due to the fear of being subjected to the ruthless rituals conducted by them.
Battle of the Bleeding Sky
In 701 RSY, a Republic convoy carrying Jedi relics, archives, and sensitive holocrons was scheduled to depart the planet of Naboo following increasing unrest from force related cults. Among them was a sleeper agent of the children of the wailing shade, disguised as a jedi the sleeper agent had gain access to information of the deployments of the republic and the jedi order across the galaxy.
At 11:14 standard hours, the Republic fleet’s long-range scanners began receiving false images—phantoms of dying Jedi, past battles replayed, and garbled Sith scriptures. It was later found that the childrens had activated an transmitter that had sent signals to manipulate and conquer the pilots mind.
Within hours panic had spread on the flagship “The Singing Lady”, it’s captain shouted through the ship's comms “The voice in the wind.” Multiple republic cruisers collided in mid air. The civilians looked horrified as the looked above and saw the sky turn red–bleeding. “ᛋᚻᚢᛞᛟ · ᚹᛖ · ᚲᚾᛟᚹ · ᛏᚻᛖ · ᛋᚻᚨᛞᛖ · ᚲᛟᛗᛖᛋ”
The Purge of Keshtar
By 835 RSY, the Children of the Wailing Shade had fortified a desecrated citadel known as the Hollow Verge, an ancient satellite temple hovering just above the Malachor abyss. Intelligence confirmed that the Choir of Ash was gathered there to complete the Verse of Unmaking, a chant rumored to sever the Force bond from all Jedi listeners.
A high rise strike led by jedi master Talor Rovas and 300 republic troopers, invaded the sector of malachor and descended on the planet keshtar. The battle began at 04: 00 hours with 18 gunships descending through clouds. The hollow verge was a living thing according to some reports–shifting, hallways moving. The childrens had activated grief resonators, a sonic defense that caused several jedi’s to hallucinate and think of their regrets, betray their allies.
It took a full day of blood spilling before the jedi master, talor rovas reached the sanctus sanatorium where the Circle of five were gathered chanting verses of an unknown language. He struck down three of the Five. In doing so, he broke the tether anchoring the station’s reality, collapsing part of it into the Malachor abyss. The crypt of Tarish-Ren was lost, consumed by the void.
The remaining 2 of the five escaped the planet unharmed and travelled further into the unknown sectors of the galaxy away from the jedi and towards their eventual homeplanet valadoran Although eliminated and extinct, rumors are heard of the children's whispering in the shadows waiting for the moment to re emerge.
As of 981 RSY the childrens no longer exist and are extinct.
