Emberlene's Daughter, The Jedi Generalist
I call with the names of the old ones, those beyond the veil.
I summon with poison, I summon with pain, I open the gates.
I summon with the names of the old ones, those beyond the veil.
From the dark they call to you, here in the darkness.
With coin and song, knife and meat. Claw and name, blood and feather.

- Name: The Maiden
- Loyalties: Unknown
- Wealth: Lives in The Cave
- Notable Possessions:
- Robes
- Ring with a force crystal
- Skills: Farseeing, tracking
- Languages: Comprehend Speech is used to learn languages she encounters quickly and almost act like a universal translator to her.
- Personality: Friendly, welcoming and warm. When she speaks it is usually encouraging others to open up and she is always there to listen or offer food.
- Weapon of Choice: Illusions to avoid conflict
- Combat Function: Avoids combat, avoids people in general unlless they find her cave. If comfronted she usually uses illusions to disappear and leave.
- Force Abilities: Skilled in powerful uses of illusions and farseeing able to cloak her island sanctuary on Ahch-To and see a single being among an ocean of stars.
- Illusion based abilities similar to Fallanassi powers.
- Sense and seeing capabilities similar to Luka Sene.
- Comprehend Speech
- Long Life: Her age on Ach-To is not really known... and frequent use of illusions to change her looks makes determining her exact age or even species difficult. What the Jadeite and the jedi know is that she has been there a long long time.
- Never trust the storyteller. Only trust the story: She has knowledge and power but presents what most would consider impossible or improbable as a being. Calling her mental state into question many times over but her knowledge is vast and tales able to be told to the jedi who visit her.
- Not Immortal: While she has lived a long time her body is every bit as vulnerable and fragile as most beings in the galaxy.
- Force Voids: Being a being that uses the force extensively she requires a constant connection to it. Disruption can be dangerous and prolonged detachment to it deadly.
"Enough There are some offenses that are unpardonable, can you have any idea what it was like? Can you have any idea.
Confined to a single form for a thousand score lifetimes and ten. A galaxies lifetime.
Time moves no faster for me than it does for you and in this prison it crawls at times at a snails pace.
The father sent me away, confined me to places he did not walk to not be within his sight.
He did that to me, barred me from having a life... meanwhile you threatened, cajoled and pleaded.
Asked for gifts that are not yours to receive nor mine to give. What fools mortals be."

There is little known about the maiden in the cave, she resides on Ahch-To and was discovered by a jedi survey team. Her island appearing in the middle of the ocean shrouded in mists and force illusions. The being herself coming from a cave and as described went from a wizened crone to a beautiful woman. Standing there and greeting them after they spoke. Her use of the force to understand and learn their languages could be felt as she was probing their minds. To hear her story she came to the world after being exiled from her husband, made to walk the galaxy until she came here and from her island she was able to observe the children of man evolve and change... become the first jedi and they rarely noticed her among them. The few who could sense her and found her she heard their stories.. she would retell her tale and they would depart back to their temple.
Over time it became less frequent for them to be there as the jedi went off to other worlds, liberating, controlling... overseeing areas of the galaxy she could see and follow. Her sense there and the influences of the father, his children... others waned. Being came and went passing into myths and legends that had once been so solid and sure. She continued to be there as the jedi vanished and the caretakers reset the island... the temple maintained but always returning to a static point for the next group that would come. Through empire, crusades and invasions... through plagues, rifts and infections... they maintained on the world and overtime her island continued to be hidden away from the galaxy. To be her home and entertaining guests would become less frequent.
So she would venture out, across the planet and those who were lost that came. Slipping beyond shadows and finding others. THose who wandered in their dreams to the realm of the dark mother. Long since lost in her call... finding other children who had gone there and telling them stories before they would wake up. Then someone came to the island.. they had managed to find her and capture her within a bubble of energy... it was different then others... the force wasn't gone but it was harder to find... her attention on the being that had hunted her down. A human.... a mortal old and wrinkled wanting to capture what he believed... whom he believed could grant him something no one else had. For another sixty years he held her there aided by machines to keep himself alive until his grandchild made a mistake.
He didn't maintain the machines holding her and with it she was able to slip... to slid into the mind of him and others.. to restore herself enough that she might be able to fight back and she granted him what he wanted... immortality.. or the illusion of it. As he laid there with his body withering and his mind immortal beyond shadow to be tormented by the child of the shadows. She returned to her home and rebuilt it a little worse for it but still in time as she was able to see into the force and what was happenign in the galaxy there was more and more waars... darksiders and lightsiders clashing but also those who showed talent and skills... even the jedi returning to Ahch-To in larger numbers... rebuilding the temple and expanding upon it and into some of the older temples on the world.
THey would find her eventually and she didn't stop them instead allowing them to ask questions in exchange for stories... for tales of the galaxy that she might not know. Her gardens able to grow different plants and fruits able to be used for teas and other drinks. A small kitchen for food where she could invite them in and seemingly an endless supply of small candy pieces that young padawans could see. She would wander away from the island and when they were lost exploring the other islands be able to guide them back.. always with a different look.. her form shifting and looks changing. From the young woman on the island to the old crone in the hills who would feed and listen. The ambiguity of her age and even species is always there hanging above as no one can be certain if she really is what she says or is a mad force user fueled by a powerful delusion.
"I don't know if I have any stories that haven't been told to you."
"Oh come now everyone has a story."
"Yes yes they do..... The Father had three wives."
"Three?"
"Yes, it is not a story that they tell much anymore. It is an old story the first jedi heard."
"It began with him an androgyne giant back at the beginning of time. He was born four arms, four legs, two heads... and in his loneliness he divided into two beings. The Father and the Mother."
"SHe was his first wife, powerful, intelligent she was after all a part of him.... and she wanted equality... superiority perhaps. WHich was the final straw. She was cast away, her children taken from her and secluded on Mortis."
"THe mother went her own way, made her own home and copulated with other beings giving birth to beings that spread across the stars spreading darkness and influencing thousands of worlds.. With her gone the father was left alone... It was then that the father created a new wife."
"And what was her name."
"The poor thing, she was never given a name. The Father created her from nothingness.... Bone first, then internal organs, flesh, muscle, sinew, fat, bile, eyes, snot, skin, hair, breath."
"He wouldn't go near her, he saw her for what she had been full of secretions and blood. Even powerful beings have problems with the things that go on within them. You find out someone inside is just mucus and meat, slime and bone."
"As are all living things."
"They live, salivate, defecate, cry and it can just kill the romance."
"And what happened to her?"
"Opinions differ, some texts believe that the father destroyed her, other texts claim she was allowed to leave and find her own place in the galaxy."
"Then it was that the father met another, a human woman. He took her in to care for his children. A son and a daughter... and for a time she was there but fearful of losing them she drank and bathed in places no mortal being was meant to go and in doing so was trapped away from the children she cared for. Destined to be alone."
"And the mother went on to birth wutzek and from him typhojem and the mnggal. Which have haunted the galaxy. Even now they still walk. The nameless one was made and forgotten, perhaps destroyed and unmentioned except in the oldest of tomes... and Abeloth lived to be older then any human woman if she could be called that any more... Some say she was a daughter of the Mother displaced to avenge herself upon the father.... and that is the story."
