Native to the planet of Dathomir, The Witches of Dathomir were the first non-Jedi Force-users encountered by Luke Skywalker during his quest to rebuild The Jedi Order. Some 600 years before the Clone Wars, The Jedi Order banished a Jedi named Allya to the primitive planet of Dathomir. In exile, she founded her own sect of Force Adepts, selectively breeding with a group of exiled arms dealers, and within decades had created a Force-using society to rule. Though ruthless, Allya maintained a strict rule of law (even authoring a tome called the Book of Law for her followers to use as an example). After Allya's death, the society fragmented into six clans, and despite Allya's command to never concede to evil, some of the witches she trained fell to The Dark Side, becoming The Nightsisters.
The Witches of Dathomir are part of a primitive culture with a strong yet rudimentary grasp of The Force. Though much of their own knowledge is derived from The Jedi arts, over the centuries their lifestyle and philosophies have shaped their knowledge of The Force to fit their own needs. The Witches of Dathomir train and ride fearsome Dathomiri Rancors, using The Force to communicate with them. Though their tribal organization makes them seem primitive, they are sophisticated and knowledgeable Force-users who, despite their rustic lifestyle, have evolved Force powers seemingly unheard of in other sects.
