Wistie/Legends



A sentient species native to the Forest Moon of Endor, the Wisties --also called fire folk by the Ewoks-- were small (they fit in Ewok palms), radiant creatures of possibly insectoid origins that had an appearance of a moving flame. Fire didn't have anything to do with their luminosity since they could be safely touched by other creatures, but, unlike most species, it was harmless to them. They seemed extremely simple, even non-sentient, but they had a language that consisted of buzzes and a form of goverment with a Queen as Head of State. During the time the rest of the Galaxy was ruled by the Empire, Izrina was Queen of the Wisties.

The Tulgah witch Morag once used her powers to set the Wisties on fire and bend their will to make them burn the Bright Tree Village and its life-trees. The fire folk set the forest on fire and nearly destroyed the village.

When the Ewok caravan that accompanied Mace and Cindel Towani] in their search for their parents camped in the Endor plains, a group of Wisties were attracted by [[Logray's candle, carried by Cindel, and leapt into its flame. The candle was considered magical by the Ewoks and its powers must have led the Wisties to this behavior.
