Shadowlands/Legends



The Shadowlands, also known as the Shadow Forest and the Nother World, was the name with which the dark ground level of the planet Kashyyyk was known. It was dark since the sunlight could not reach it through the tall trees and the rich foliage.

The Shadowlands were a dangerous place, inhabited by savage beasts like katarns and terentateks. Wookiees seldom went there (by means of wooden elevators) from their platforms. They visited only for ceremonial reasons, such as rites of passage. It was also a place of exile.

An ancient Star Map was also located here, which is supposed to have taken effect on the accelerated evolution of Kashyyyk creatures, according to Jedi Knight Jolee Bindo.

Famous Wookiees like Chewbacca would often go there to prove themselves against the forest's strong, natural obstacles.

Apparently dark-adapted Gotal hunters and poachers have also discovered the dark jungle and began exploiting the fierce wildlife.
