- Description: The Silmä are the most organized order of Force User's on Illyria. For thousands of years they have remained ostracized from polite society due to the mystique surrounding them. Their order shares some similarities with the Witches of Dathomir, however it is not enough for the two to be considered joined or related.

- Combat Function: The Silmä do not have any set doctrine when it comes to combat. However, as adepts of the Dark Side of the Force they often conjure a number of abilities to bring about the death of their enemy. In the most recent years this includes abilities such as Sith Lightning, Telekinesis, Dark Side Tendrils, Force Healing, & Force Body.
- Seers: The duty of the Silmä is to act as the eyes of the Illyrian King. The Order teaches their members to see and feel through the Force to the point where they are able to vaguely depict the future and discern the past.
- Masters of the Dark Side: The Dark Side of the Force is particularly powerful with this ancient order. It is believed when the Sith Lord Kruel Zing visited Illyria in his youth he empowered the ancestors of the Silmä with the Dark Side and their descendants have been practicing it for hundreds of years.
- Alchemists: The Silmä do not hold a place among Illyria's military due to their predisposition to open combat. However, they do supply Illyria with a means to make war through alchemical enchantments. They are able to enchant weapons, craft potions, and even revitalize a warrior and bring out his latent potential.
- Non-Combatants: Although the Silmä are more than capable of engaging in combat, their training on the Force is in more of its more mystical aspects. The standard member of the Order is generally unarmored and unarmed, as these things have no benefit for them in their ritualistic lifestyle.
- Distrusting: As distrusting as society is to the Order, the Silmä trust polite society even less. They are not people who get along with others well, particularly Jedi Peacekeepers or rank and file soldiers. They see them as barbaric relics of the past that should have faded a long time ago and they are not afraid to voice this.
In ancient times, before the hundreds year war plagued Illyria, the Silmä were a powerful Force Order that exerted no small amount of influence over Illyria. They controlled the Illyrian Forest's and guarded them viciously. The order was founded when a Dark Lord of the Sith, Kruel Zing erected a Sith Temple in the center of Illyria's largest forest. The obsidian pyramid was used by the Sith Lord to commune with the Dark Side and imbue weapons with the taint of the Dark Side. Once his work on the planet was done, Zing escaped back into the known galaxy, leaving the small world behind. A number of Illyria's savage clans stumbled upon his temple and began to revere the power that bled from the stone. They began to experiment with the ancient rituals the Sith Lord had left behind an in time their minds were warped by the Dark Side of the Force.
When Adron Malvern & Alessandra Creed first crash landed on the planet Illyria, the cult hunted them relentlessly as they believed they were outsiders encroaching upon their territory. It was not until they released a fury of the Dark Side the like they had never seen before that the cult realized the power the two held. They believed them to be a pure form of the Dark Side manifested into physical form. Because of this the cult swore themselves to their service until the end of time.
