Legend

this area of Alderaan's plains was at one time the home of the ancient Killik race, which referred to them as Oroboro. They built large, complex cities out of the natural elements around them. The Killik were believed to have died out some twenty thousand years before the Galactic Civil War, but their wonderful spitcrete castles remained after them. The Alderaanians held the Castle Lands in awe, and discovered eighteen unique groupings of structures that seemed to indicate eighteen periods of expansion in killik history. The artists of Alderaan flocked to the Castle Lands to experience the natural beauty of the Killik buildings, although one artist took his inspiration too far. He painted a section of the Castle Lands with bright, chaotic patterns, but his work was quickly condemned by the many Alderaanians who revered the Killik structures.
