The Night Sister

Product Information

Star Wars: Timelines dates the events of " Chapter 1: The Mandalorian" and " Chapter 16: The Rescue" to 9 ABY. The events of Chapters 1–16 must therefore also take place in 9 ABY, and the events of Chapters 17–24 must take place around that year as well. Ahsoka features the first live-action appearance to the Nightsisters of Dathomir, a powerful and mysterious Force cult in Star Wars. Diana Lee Inosanto's Morgan Elsbeth was introduced in The Mandalorian season 2, a key ally of Grand Admiral Thrawn who was sought out by Ahsoka Tano. Lady Morgan has returned in Ahsoka as the key villain, whose quest for Thrawn threatens to unleash war on the galaxy once again. You are mad, Malicos. Dathomir has unmade you, and my misplaced loyalty has allowed you to lead the Nightbrothers astray. Unlike the Jedi, the Nightsisters of Dathomir do not turn on their kind. Our bond is eternal." ―Merrin, to Taron Malicos and Cal Kestis [1]

I believe the old alliance can again be what it once was. You would only have to pledge your clan's allegiance to the Separatists' cause. We could certainly use the powers of the Nightsisters against the Jedi." During the events of Jedi: Battle Scars, which take place sometime between 12 and 11 BBY per the reasoning here, Cal Kestis states Merrin is around the same age as Chellwinark Frethylrin. Frethylrin later states that she is twenty-one years old. Therefore, Merrin must be born around the same time period as Frethylrin. Morgan Elsbeth, a human Nightsister, was enraged by the massacre of her people during the Clone Wars. In her rage, she built up the Imperial Navy by plundering entire worlds of their resources. [37] In 9 ABY, [38] the former Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano recounted the story of Elsbeth's people to the Mandalorian bounty hunter Din Djarin in 9 ABY. [37] Merrin: " Did you live?" Cal Kestis: " Did you hear something, Beedee?" [singsong] " Sounded almost like… someone who was worried about us?" Merrin: " Must have been your imagination. Yes, next time we're hard up for credits we'll just drop you in a cantina. You'll survive." Greez Dritus: " Hey. If anybody's gonna be makin' tips for their looks around here, it's me. You bipeds don't appreciate what a catch I am to those with real taste out there." Cere Junda: " If we're done, crew—" ―Merrin, Cal Kestis, and Greez Dritus joke until Cere Junda gets "cere-ious" [4]Taron Malicos (pictured) deceived and manipulated Merrin's pain and suffering from the extermination of her people.

I've spent years…of waiting for a chance to avenge my sisters. I'm finished waiting. I wish to fight by your side. Nightsisters and Jedi do not travel together but…survivors. We adapt." ―Merrin, to Cal Kestis [13] After Dritus set the Stinger Mantis down in a village on Zimara, a small moon in the Outer Rim, Merrin went to the sulfur baths to relax and soak. After a full day on the moon, Frethylrin sought her out to discuss their relationship and how she had genuinely Irei was dead; she otherwise would have told Merrin about her. Frethylrin asked what the Nightsister did about feeling haunted, and Merrin claimed that Dathomir had pretty ghosts that were good kissers. More seriously, she asked if Frethylrin had loved and still loved Irei; Frethylrin had and always would, but said it did not change how she felt about Merrin. [4] The Nightsisters are an ancient Force cult composed of female magic users, whose powers are rooted in the dark side of the Force and connected to the planet of Dathomir.

Meet the witches of Dathomir.

And we're a Jedi and a daughter of Dathomir, fast friends." [both laugh] " We are all bound and connected by the Force. There's nothing unusual about two beings who had not previously met forming a strong connection, falling in love at first sight, even. That's the beauty of our galaxy. It's what makes everything we do worthwhile." ―Merrin and Cere Junda discuss Merrin's connection with Chellwinark Frethylrin [4] But, Fret—more than that, right now. I need time. To myself. To figure out what is next, for me. For this crew. Does that make sense?" I'd like that very much. Yes. Kiss me one last time? Before we do this difficult and right thing?" ―Merrin and Chellwinark Frethylrin, in the sulfur baths [4]

Following the end of the Clone Wars, the Nightsisters' massacre at the hands of Grievous and Dooku became known, with very few Nightsisters remaining, like Merrin. However, as the Nightbrothers weren't wiped out. Merrin would take them as her servants and they took control of Dathomir during the age of the Galactic Empire. [13] As she walked away, Kestis began talking about his past and the fear he used to hold that the Empire would find out who and what he was. However, his trauma had been soothed after a friend told him to go out and find his place in the galaxy and he began traveling with the crew of the Stinger Mantis. Considering Kestis' words, Merrin decided to join his crew, hoping she could find her own place in the greater galaxy. Although Jedi and Nightsisters were not traditionally comrades, Merrin believed that survivors, like them, adapted. Kestis and his droid companion BD-1 agreed to the idea, although the Padawan doubted that the rest of his crew would be ready to accept Merrin. [1]Dark Vengeance: The True Story of Darth Maul and His Revenge Against the Jedi Known as Obi-Wan Kenobi" — The Clone Wars: Stories of Light and Dark Cal is like that with everyone. Always putting himself in the line of fire so that no one else gets hurt. He's the same with everyone he cares about. It's not unique to me."

If you don't let me help—all of us, help—we are all going to die. Us, and eventually every Force-sensitive in the galaxy, and everyone who would ever stand up against the Imperials from now until the end of time." Aktropaw (Nightsister) Life-Size Cardboard Cutout on advancedgraphics.com (archived from the original on October 5, 2023) According to legend, the Nightsister Zeldin went after the Sith Darth Caldoth, after he stole a burial pod from Dathomir. Zeldin attempted to manipulate Caldoth into causing his own death out of revenge, but Caldoth was aware of Zeldin's presence, exploiting their connection before trapping her consciousness within his mind. [19] Though a weapon used more commonly by Jedi, the Nightsisters had adopted lightwhips by the High Republic Era. [20] In 232 BBY, [21] Jedi Padawan Imri Cantaros thought about how the Nightsisters had less rules than the Jedi and their creative, more destructive values. [20]

Star Wars: Timelines dates the events of The High Republic: Light of the Jedi to 232 BBY. The High Republic: A Test of Courage is set concurrently to Light of the Jedi, meaning that its events must occur around that year as well. As the Stinger Mantis crew traveled the galaxy together, they got to know each other better and became like a family with the Mantis as their home. Merrin regarded their differences as strengths that made them nearly unstoppable together, although they were not inclined to have "heart-to-hearts," a term she learned from Cal Kestis. [4] You're welcome here as long as you need. There are no tests to pass. The Mantis is home for those without one."
