During the era of the Clone Wars, which was a time when much transpired, the Wyrd coven of witches created a fortified enclave. This enclave was situated within a cavern located on Cloud Mountain, a dormant volcano found on the planet known as Cularin. The Hand artifact, an old statue and dark side relic capable of amplifying a Force user's power by draining the life essence of others, was the reason for the cavern's establishment. Around 21 BBY, the Wyrd abducted Chywarra, a Wookiee child, and transported him to their carefully constructed enclave.
