Shadowlands/Legends

The Shadowlands was the name with which the dark ground level of Kashyyyk was known. It was dark since the sunlight could not reach it through the tall trees and the rich foliage.

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