Homeworld: Andowyne

The greatest kingdom of Andowyne before Queen Bavmorda's rise, Tir Asleen prospered because of its rich farmlands, a benign climate, and a government of enlightenment. For a thousand generations, the wise kings of Tir Asleen had kept peace and order throughout the land, not by heavy-fisted decree, but rather through the channeling of their will into the Force, imbuing the land and its people with the will to thrive. Disputes would vanish and enemies would cower, recognizing the greater good of Tir Alseen's sanctity.

Such reliance on supernatural means, though, left Tir Asleen vulnerable to the deceiving ways of Bavmorda, a dark soul who knew no goodwill.

Many of Andowyne's most capable sorcerers studied at Tir Asleen, site of the greatest libraries of magical scrolls. Cherlindrea of the Forest took initiates in a secluded grove grown just for her. Her last two students, Fin Raziel and Bavmorda, would shape Tir Asleen's fate in the decades to come.

Bavmorda wooed the young Prince Mikal Tanthalos to fall in love with her, even though his heart had once belonged to Fin Raziel. It was through this sham relationship that Bavmorda could marry her way into the royal family, becoming a princess of Tir Asleen. The two wed and had a daughter, Sorsha. Though no one in Tir Asleen knew it, Bavmorda was already threading her poison through the city. The king and queen died at an early age, and Bavmorda and Mikal ascended to the throne.

When in a position of power, Bavmorda unleased her dark powers. She cursed Tir Asleen, sealing the entire populace in stasis. She then coaxed a maze of canyons and chasms to erupt from the lands abutting the palace, creating an impossible labyrinth that cut off all who approached. Tir Asleen became legend as no one was able to find it. In just a generation, there grew those who doubted it had ever existed.

Years later, Fin Raziel and Willow Ufgood found Tir Asleen. Though they were promised an army in the lost city that could destroy Bavmorda, what they found instead were the frozen forms of the citizens, and a castle infested by trolls.

With the eventual defeat of Queen Bavmorda, the curse was lifted off Tir Asleen, and its people were released from their timeless prisons. But any jubilation was short-lived, as little over a year later, the Cataclysm erupted. It wiped Tir Asleen off the face of the world. All those who inhabited it vanished.
