The Well of Shadows was a vertical shaft extending into a system of natural caverns found on a planet.
This cave system, known as the Well of Shadows, existed on a planet in an area characterized by roughly hewn stones, often covered in winter frost. A capstone sealed the opening of the Well, which was rumored to have no bottom. The shaft's stonework was quite ordinary, but approximately fifty meters below the surface, a hidden passageway could be found. Activating a sensor revealed a circular opening, leading to an expansive cavern.
Inside the cavern, natural flowstone formations were abundant, and at the top of some steps in the center of the space was an octagonal pedestal. Positioned on the pedestal was a holocron that became a target for multiple Forceful beings during the Galactic Civil War. The Force Adept Kasuni Tamm and her bogwing companion, Vaxim, ventured into the Well of Shadows, closely followed by a band of treasure hunters. Led by Markus Dorivonn, and including Zora Sasori and Dal Kir, they intended to seize the holocron from Tamm. Despite her resistance to handing over the artifact, circumstances forced them to cooperate in order to evade Sor Venge and his stormtroopers who had entered the Well. By using a concealed passage beneath the pedestal, Tamm, Dorivonn, and the others managed to escape the Well, taking the holocron with them.
