1362. Night sisters
As of now, the Night Sisters are controlled by a powerful matron - Matron Talzin. She is not only the mother of the tribe, giving birth to many daughters, but also the most powerful witch in the tribe, possessing unfathomable magic.
She reunited the Nightsisters, who had been divided after the death of Gothzerion, and strengthened their rule. The previously loose Nightsisters were now bound by stricter laws. Her ruling methods can be described as harsh, almost cruel, to turn the Night Sisters into cold-blooded killing tools.
Mother Talzin called the Zabrak men she raised as Night Brothers, and strictly ordered the Dark Night Sisters to only crossbreed with the Dark Night Brothers. However, other than that, the Dark Night Sisters were absolutely not allowed to have any communication with the Dark Night Brothers without authorization. , not even a word will do.
Even speaking, when they have sex, they will be greatly restricted and have no idea who the other person is. If a daughter is born, she will enter the Night Sisters; if she is a boy, she will be thrown back to the Night Brothers.
For the Dark Night Brothers, it is a completely different rule.
The Night Brothers must continue to receive training to ensure that their bodies will become stronger. A strong body can not only meet the needs of heavier physical labor, but also keep them in the best reproductive condition. These night brothers are constantly competing and fighting with each other for the opportunity to mate with the night sisters - because this will improve their lives, stay away from meaningless manual labor, and get better food.
The battles between the Night Brothers are brutal and bloody, because the Night Sisters do not give them any combat skills, so they can only rely on instinct and strength to fight, and such battles are often life-and-death.
In order to ensure the genes of the Night Brothers, Mother Talzin also cooperated with notorious slave traders in the galaxy such as Miraj Sintel, Queen of Zygeria, to continuously kidnap more Zabraks. Slaves arrive on the planet Saumur.
More than 10 years before the war broke out, Mother Talzin also had brief contact with Darth Sidious. Darth Sidious took away a Night Brother and became his apprentice, granting him Named Darth Maul. When the 22BBY war broke out, Mother Talzin also reached a preliminary cooperation agreement with Count Dooku.
Mother Talzin also wrote a book about this, "The Power of the Wild" (ildPoer), to explain her influence on the dark side of the Force on a galaxy-wide scale, and the role that the Night Sisters should play in this war. What kind of role.
Mother Talzin sent the trained Night Sister elites to the Confederacy of Independent Systems and became an elite force of assassins in the hands of Count Dooku. During the war, Count Dooku used the Night Sisters' assassins more than once to assassinate politicians on planets that favored the Galactic Republic, thus subverting the planet's regime.
But that's all. These assassins could not influence the direction of a war, so Mother Talzin and the Night Sisters were nothing more than that in the eyes of Count Dooku.
But for Mother Talzin, her power is extremely huge. She controls almost the entire Outer Rim Star Region and part of the Middle Rim Star Region. Count Dooku, who rivals the Galactic Republic, is as big as a giant.
Therefore, in order to maintain her authority, Mother Talzin did not directly join the Confederation of Independent Systems, but declared her neutrality. The dispatch of assassins was also done in secret.
But this time, when Count Dooku needed more assistants, he finally thought of the Night Sisters and Mother Talzin.
Count Dooku's dark disciple, the former Jedi Master Thora Balk, who had excellent swordsmanship, came to the planet Dathomir and found this dark and mysterious sorceress.
The Weequay dark master Thora Balk is very old, and his skin is as rough as tree bark. However, his steps are steady and restrained, and he still has the demeanor of a master.
"Ah, Master Balk. I wonder why Count Dooku asked you to come here?" Mother Talzin asked slowly. Standing opposite her was also in her 60s, wearing a red robe. Pale complexion
The white skin is wrinkled and droopy, and the eyes are sinister.
The Dathomians, the offspring of the Night Sisters and the Zabrak, have pale skin.
"Count Dooku needs more power. So I am sent here, hoping that you can provide us with strong enough warriors." Thora Balk's words are still full of energy, but his current appearance is really not worthy of his words. Using the word "master", this is completely a conversation between two old monsters.
"Hehehehe, more power... Yes, we Night Sisters are always ready. However, I don't know how much price Count Dooku is prepared to pay this time?" Mother Talzin asked in return.
"You should know that I am not talking about people like them." Thora Balk casually clicked a few times in the dark shadows, which were all the locations of the Night Sister assassins hiding in the darkness.
Mother Talzin waved her hand, and there were some subtle noises among the many shadows around her. Then it fell silent again, and she asked the assassins to leave.
Slowly walking down the altar, Mother Talzin came to Thora Balk, made a gesture of invitation, and then led him out of the temple and walked outside.
In this settlement built in the jungle, many houses are built on trees. Although it can be seen that they have been decorated as much as possible, it can still be understood that these night sisters actually live a very happy life. A simple and poor life.
Compared with other places in the galaxy, life on the planet Dathomir can simply be described as a primitive tribe.
"You should know, Master Balk, that on our planet Dathomir, the population does not exceed 100,000. This is a simple and isolated planet... My daughters came here through their own long-term training. Skills to provide our entire tribe with the materials needed to sustain it." Mother Talzin brought Thora Balk to a training ground at the back.
I only saw here that hundreds of Night Sisters were catching pairs for training. It was said to be training, but the battle between them could even be regarded as a fight, with real swords and guns splattered with blood all over the ground, and it was likely to directly put the other party to death. And even in the middle of a fight, sometimes he would suddenly seize the opportunity to stab someone else next to him.
In short, on this training ground, everyone is an enemy except yourself!
Those who survive from such a place are all the elite among the elite.
"These are our best warriors, and they are always ready to serve Count Dooku. The prerequisite is that there is a suitable price." Mother Talzin said.
"They can't fight against the Jedi." Thora Balk said coldly, "I can feel the existence of the dark side force from them, but just to this extent, it is far from enough."
"You are talking about the kind of person who is born favored by magic." Mother Talzin said, "Indeed, I can tell you that there is indeed such a person among my dark night brothers. But... I need your help!"
She pointed to the misty distance and continued: "I can feel that a force far darker and more powerful than us is awakening. This force is swallowing us... Recently, there have been dozens of Night Sisters He disappeared inexplicably, which is a very serious blow to us."
Thora Balk frowned, "Are you trying to tell me that you can't even protect yourself now?"
"That's right. If it is not stopped, all I see in the future is withering and death... By that day, the Night Sisters will no longer exist, and we will naturally be unable to provide Count Dooku with more." Talzin said the mistress.
