Legend

this was the name given to the conservative religious tradition of the Ayrou. The term Il Madri translated into Basic as "contemplation upon that stored away for meditation." The tenets of this religion required that the Ayrou lead ascetic lives marked by quiet action. The religion was utterly dropped, however, after the Ayrou made contact with the Old Republic. The Il Madri religion was replaced by the Society of Self-Actualization. One interesting aspect of the Il Madri religion was that its leaders hoarded vast amounts of treasure, but identified it as taboo, and only used it when deep meditation indicated the need for it. The accumulated wealth of treasure was believed to have been sealed away oin a vault somewhere in the Kuna system, and only the chalcedony idol known as the Tessent could open the vault.
