OOC Information on the Great Mother, Kika'lekki and her Temple on Ryloth, and on the Twi'lek Society
Preface--
Little is known in detail about the Twi'lek peoples or their culture from the Star Wars movies, or the Extended Universe. Small snippets have dropped about their home world, Ryloth, and their political structure, but otherwise, the slate is mostly blank. Other than one reference to the fact that all Twi'leks of Ryloth worship a Great Mother Goddess, no information has been given about this people's religion or spiritual beliefs. This was the situation I came to when I first took it upon myself to detail the Twi'lek religion, culture, and language for SWG and my character, Sy'kirra.
It started simply as a name. I wanted Sy'kirra to be a very religious person, as the EU had suggested most Twi'leks were. But, in desiring to create a few simple prayers for her to say at sunrise and dusk, I decided a name must be given to the Twi'lek Mother Goddess to make it more real and personal for me...thus was the name Kika'lekki created. The name itself means "Mother of the Lekkued Ones"...Kika being a diefied variation of Kiva which means "Mother" or perhaps more implied "Honourable Mother"...a very formal term not used typically for one's own mother, which is commonly misha...and lekki being inclusive plural of lekku, implying those who possess lekku. I began using the name, and a few of those who knew me began using it as well.
From here I started developing a small number of words in ryl that developed into a bit of a ryl-english dictionary. This is something I continue to compile over time, trying to make it at least loosely sensible, if not entirely linguistically valid, and I plan to release it for use along with this text.
My vision of the Twi'lek religion and culture as I have devloped it now came later on, when I sat down to write a story that told Sy'kirra's tale of being sold into slavery to Jabba the Hutt. I wanted to convey a mood about the twi'lek society and religion more than the details...images and feelings were more important to me in that story, though over time the beliefs and traditions became very central.
What we did know about Twi'lek history and culture was that, aside from being a very spiritual and artistic peoples, they had led a harsh existance in the caverns beneath Ryloth's harsher surface, and had suffered long at the hands of many races who had come to Ryloth for the Ryll spice found only there. We knew that they had a tradition of selling their female children into slavery and servitude (re-inforced by images in the movies), and of sending their male children to work in business for the Hutts and others. What we did NOT know, was exactly why they did this...where did these traditions come from? The EU and the movies were silent on this aspect, but I felt it was very important to understand if I was to play Sy'kirra well. Thus I embarked on a quest to create the Twi'lek society, Temple, and traditions from the ground up.
I knew that whatever I created had to not only remain true to the few details we knew of the twi'lek society and peoples, but also maintain a certain mood and feel that the movies had set. I envisioned a culture that was ancient beyond memory, rich in spiritual and artistic traditions, and yet somewhat primative(even superstitious some would say) and very poor in material wealth. What they did possess was the Ryll spice, which was coveted around the galaxy...and that possession had led many others to try to dominate this deeply spiritual people over time. They had led a harsh lifestyle, and traditions existed to ensure the peoples survived, no matter what befell them. They were tough and resiliant...they had survived a great deal over the ages and always managed to cling to their own culture and traditions, spirituality and art, despite that. I saw them as a proud people beaten down into traditions that were hard and even cruel at times, but designed to ensure that the society survived. Honour and duty and spirituality were paramount in this vision.
When I looked to the real world to find a template to use for the imagery and details of the Twi'lek society and religion, I looked no further than the ancient and deeply spiritual traditions of India and the Hindu and Buddhist religions. I felt that the cracked and crumbling statues of stone and the temples so delicately carved ages ago of that culture were the images I needed for the twi'lek peoples religion. The mood of quiet, deep spirituality which still contains a strong element of primativism and deep magick that Hinduism has was exactly what I sought. Thus was the imagery and base ideas for the Twi'lek society and religion developed as I have them now.
I have tried to remain true to what was know while deepening and enriching it with something much more that roleplayers in SWG can use to develop their Twi'lek characters. I know that as my work is not EU, or official, many will choose to not use it, or may even greatly disagree with my vision of the Twi'lek peoples...and that is their right. But, this work is designed for those that wish to uses it, to have something more to base their character development off of, and as such is offered up as an option. I, and a number of others have been using this in our game and stories for some time. I make the details of it now available to any who wish to use it.
This guide will be broken into sections for easy use and reference, and I will be sure to note what is official EU knowledge and what is my own invention as I go along. I only hope that some may find worth in this work.
Thank you, and may Kika'lekki Bless you,

I must make note first off, for any who may wonder, I have never read any of the EU books, comics or sources. I have not played the Star Wars roleplaying game, or much of anything except being a longtime fan of the original movies. I have done a bit of reading up at the Star Wars dtabase at www.starwars.com, and a little even at theforce.net. So, if I am mistaken in anything I present here as being EU, than please forgive me, as I am not, nor claim to be, and expert on the sources.
Ryloth is a harsh world of the outer rim territories, and a close neighbor to Tatooine. The orbit of the twi'lek homeworld is such that only one side of the planet receives sunlight. This has created a unique set of condirions on the surface of Ryloth that makes the majority of the world uninhabitable to most known life forms. The Brightlands, and the Shadowlands meet in a small band of the surface known as the Twilightlands, and it is here alone that life can exist. Due to the conditions on the surface, most of Ryloth's civilization has developed in great and massive caverns beneath the surface which are powered by wind and heat turbines above. The caverns can be labrythine to those not familiar with them and deadly to off-worlders. Although the twi-lek's have developed a technological society, they have never developed space faring abilities of their own, and thus have been at the mercy of other systems and organizations to provide them contact with the galaxy.
In ages past, during the period of Hutt expansion, Ryloth came to be noticed for it's powerful and addictive spice, Ryll. The Hutts came to Ryloth seeking to dominate the mining and sales of Ryll to the rest of the galaxy, and there were struggles between them and the indigenous Twi'lek peoples of both political, business and military natures. Over the course of the centuries, many groups have attempted to control Ryloth and the ryll spice, and at times, some have succeeded, only to be pushed aside by another sggressor later, or temporarily repelled by the Twi'leki. It was during this course of history and the struggles for the control of the ryll spice that the tradition of selling young female twi'lek's into slavery began. Renouned for their sensuality and artistic abilities in music and dance, the twi'lek women became a bargining chip in the struggle to maintain control of the homeworld. The peoples of ryloth would sell their daughters into slavery to the Hutts and crimelords who threatened them, and in return were allowed to maintain control over the Ryll mines and their planet.
My own additions:
In my vision of the twi'lek culture, I saw an ancient and proud peoples who had, through the wars and dominations of outsiders been forced into traditions and contracts that guaraneteed their culture's survival, however distasteful such concessions might be. In order to gain the protection and pomises of the Hutts and criminal syndicates to allow Rylothian independance, the twi'leki have made pacts to trade in slaves and spice exclusively to these groups. The family clans that rule the major cities of Ryloth have developed a tradition that requires the first-born daughters of the poorest families to be sold into slavery, providing money to their family to ensure survival, and fulfilling the contracts with the Hutts. Families with no daughters must send their oldest son to the Hutts to act as aides in business.
While this tradition has been destructive to the twi'lek society as a whole, and has left many scars upon it's peoples and their families, it has managed to provide some measure of security for the race and culture as a whole, and has helped them avoid the devastating wars of the past. More on the traditions and culture will be said in another section.
As I present it, the history of Ryloth and the Twi'lek peoples is ancient and shadowed in long lost memory. The society's spiritual and social customs date back, largely unchanged for millenia, and though somewhat altered and warped by the wars and influence of outsiders since then, and by the concessions that have been made to preserve the society, these traditions and customs have remained mostly the same ofr all that time. A deep, rich and old culture, honed by the harshness of their world. Much importance is placed upon tradition, custom and the ancient history of the people, which gives them both strength and tremendous resiliancy, but also a resistance to change and a stubbourness as well. On Ryloth, society changes very slowly, and duty and tradition is the measure of worth.

The twi'lek peoples are a clan-based society. The leaders of the clans that rule over Ryloth are know as Head Clans, and are made up of five clan leaders or cheiftains, who rule together. In tradition, if one of the leaders on the Head Clan dies, or becomes dishounored, the remaining members of the Head Clan council must be exiled to the surface, often chosing to walk into the Brightlands and certain death.
My additions:
While the limited source material hints that the Head Clan rules all of Ryloth, it seems to me to be unlikely. In a clan-based society that exists in deep and caverous underground cities, it seems more likely to me that each city or region of the underground society has it's own Head Clan that rules the affairs of that area. Each area is made up of dozens or hundreds of clans and the most influential of these control the Head Clan and send cheiftains to it. As I invision it, the most powerful clans and families decide among themselves which clans will sit leaders upon the Head Clan council, and once appointed, they remain for life until one of their number dies or is disgraced, wherein the rest are exiled and the process to choose a new Head Clan begins again among the powerful.
Like politics everywhere, corruption can be rampant, and influence, power, connections and money have a great deal of say in the process of deciding which clans place leaders in the Head Clan. Scandel and corruption can also bring discrace and dis-honour which can lead to the fall of a Head Clan as well, and scheming and back-stabbing is commonplace on Ryloth as in all societies. Like many of the ancient civilations of earth in real life, the highly honourable and noble traditions and ideals of the culture hide a political reality that is often less than pristine.
One of the privilages and perks of being among the influencial clans that control the Head clan is that your families do not suffer the traditions that require their children to be sold into slavery. Those born in the higher castes are exempted from these lesser duties as it is viewed that their own duty is to leadership of the people. This leaves the lower castes to suffer the brunt of the harshest customs and traditions while the upper castes and powerful clans rule from a position of wealth, opulance, and decadence.
Although I do not see the existance in Rylothian culture of an "untouchables" caste as India has long had in real life, I do see the twi'lek society as a caste system. The Upper caste of leaders and noble clans rule the cities and caverns in wealth and privilage, and their sons and daughters are rasied with access to universities offworld and training and connections that many others on Ryloth could never hope to attain. The Warrior caste is made up mostly of the second sons and daughters of the noble clans of the Upper caste who do not have the rights to inheritance that the first born have and as such are often apprenticed to the great martial schools. The Priestess caste is made up of the devoties of the Temple of Kika'lekki, and are dedicated women from all castes. The Temple itself is much older than the influence of the Hutts and outsiders that have led to the caste system on Ryloth and as such sits somewhat outside the culture. The Priestesses of Kika'lekki are revered and honoured by all of Ryloth and only here do the castes mingle and find common ground. The Lower caste is made up of the bulk of twi'leki society and peoples. These are the clans that did not gain influence with the coming of the Hutts and consist mostly of famers, merchants, and craftspersons. It is these calns that suffer the true injustices of the pacts made with the criminal syndicates.

The sources I have read mention next to nothing about the social aspects of the twi'lek peoples. Beyond the brief political summary, and the mention of the twi'lek worship of a mother goddess, and the tradition of selling their daughters into slavery, the slate is pretty blank here. Thus, I have done more of my own development on the topic of social life and custiom and religion than anything else.
My additions:
Twi'lek society is ancient and deeply rooted in myths and traditions older than any can recall. Like many cultures in real life, their spirituality and mythology have greatly shaped and influenced the Twi'lek peoples social structure and life. The worship of the Great Mother Goddess, Kika'lekki is as old as the people themselves and the Temple, while somewhat outside the social system, has also played a deep role in it's development over the millenia. Once a egalitarian culture, the influence of the Hutts and other groups that have brought outside ways and made lasting impressions on the peoples of Ryloth have created a caste system that has become very engrained over the last few millenia. The power of the influencial clans of the upper caste have changed much on the surface of twi'leki society, while the deeper currents of ancient tradition and custom still run beneath. They are a people in transition, an example of cultural clashes that meld and merge slowly to make something that is both old and new.
To the majority of twi'leks who exist in the lower caste, the manuveuring and schemes of the powerful upper caste and the dealings of the Head Clans are of little moment. Rarely do the two groups mix and the smaller elite families remain isolated from the bulk of twi'lek culture. The warrior caste is the only face of the noble clans that an average twi might ever see as they serve not only as a police force in society, but also as guardians of the Temple which plays such a profound role in most of Rylothian life.
Among the merchants and craftsperson, the famers and service providers of the lower caste, concerns rarely turn to politics or such offworld concerns as the Galactic Civil War. Their's is a life about survival from day to day, and one heavily supported by their traditions, their faith and their duty. Most of these average twi are simple people on the surface, but that hides a very deep andmeaningful spiritualality and faith that pervades every aspect of life for them. Religion, art, music, dance and are daily thoughts when duty allows them to turn from their work and toil. Music and dance are considered sacred in twi'leki society, and as such have been raised to great heights, bringing praise and renoun to the sons and daughters of Ryloth...but it has also brought heartache as the talented dancers and musicians of the lower caste have become pawns in tha schemes and pacts of the upper caste.
Life is hard for most twi'leks on Ryloth, and wile the clan system of society offers much support between families, poverty and the threat of slavery and seperation, or even starvation and death is a daily concern of many. Those clans and families lucky enough to enjoy prosperous businesses and good fortune often repay that blessing in donations to the Temple or in help to the less fortunate. Those families that fall on hard times or have suffered from disgrace and dishonour often have no choice but to resort to the sale of their clan's children into slavery to allow the rest of the familiy to survive. It is a harsh sytem that has been thrust upon them by the concessions made by the Head Clans to the Hutts in exchange for the independance of Ryloth, and these less privalaged pay the price for those new traditions in broken families and scarred lives.
One of the aspects of twi'lek society that has existed for longer than memory is the devotion to duty. In ancient times, the duty of all twi were to Goddess, Clan, family...and any twi'lek would sooner have died than suffer dishonour by avoiding their duty. It was a system that strengthened the society and allowed it to survive intact and largely untouched for millenia. However, since the influence of outside powers, like the Hutts, a caste system a has developed in Rylothian society. The concepts of duty and honour have remained, but they are now altered. Each caste has their own variation now on what duty means to them and how it must be performed for the honour of their clan. The ruling clans have a duty to protect the world from the outside powers that seek to dominate them and to provide leadership and structure to the rest of the culture and peoples. The Warrior caste serve their people in time of strife and as enforcers of justice and keepers of the honour system in Rylothian society. It is the powerful among the warrior caste who act as judges in matters of honour among the lower castes. The Priestess caste has a sole duty to the Goddess and to see to the enlightenment of all the twi'lek peoples. Over the millenia this has come to also include attempts by the Temple to change the harsher traditions that are from the outside and to bring social justice and a return to the older egalitarian system. The lower caste has the duty to provide for the entire society. They must be the producers, the craftspersons, the laborers and fuel the engine of culture on Ryloth. They are the base of the system and the struictures of duty and honour weigh heaviest upon them. Sense of duty to family, Goddess, and society is an everyday concern. In recent centuries, the heaviest duty has come to be laid upon the first-born daughters of the lowest caste families. Those that can afford survival in no other way must sell their oldest female child when she comes of age to fulfil the contracts with the Hutts and provide for the family's survival. This duty of the first-born is called vessia'ja and means "sacrifice". It is the harshest level of duty expected of anyone in twi'leki society, and as such is greatly honoured. Those daughters who leave home to ensure their people may survive are treated as souls that are lost in sacrifice to the Goddess and revered in the clan for the honour they have shown their people.
Despite the often harsh life that they lead, the twi'lek peoples do not resent their traditions or their duty in most part, though many may be saddened by it. They are a proud people, even in the face of such things and fulfill their duty proudly and in quiet peace and acceptance.

That the twi'lek peoples of Ryloth worship a Great Mother Goddess is the extent of information I have found on the spirituality of this society. As such, I have had great latitude in developing the mood and feel, and the details of the religion as I see it. I have used the Hindu and Buddhist religions of real life as a bases model for the Temple of Kika'lekki, and drawn the imagery of the great Temples, shrines and caverns with their mass of candles and ancient statues of the Goddes almost wholely from these traditions.
My additions:
According to Myth and ancient tradition, the universe was born from the womb of the Mother, Kika'lekki, and her breath, the living Force, gave it life. In these sacred creation myths, most so old that they have been passed down orally from a time before written word, the Twi'lek clans came to be when Kika'lekki shed five tears upon the surface of Ryloth. Each tear became a river that flowed to a great lake that was the birthplace of one of the five original clans. Each clan offered worship to their mother in their own way, one through shrines of fire, another by offerings set upon the waters, a different by great stone monuments, yet another by music that drifted upon the air, and the last by devotion to prayers said only in the spirit. Each of these clans were cherished and nurtured by the Mother, and Ryloth was like a paradise where the power of life and the living Force mingled in a dance of elements. This was before the taint of the Dead. When the darkside was touched, and the destructive aspects of the Force and the Great Mother were discovered, the dance began to change. In time the clans began to war and argue, and the delicate dance of life was disrupted by the Darkside, and death entered the universe.
It is written that as the power of the darkside swept the many races of the universe, that Kika'lekki wept for it, knowing that her children must now struggle with this new power until they learned the practice of self-control and came to resist the temptation of the abuse of the living Force that gave all life. She knew that in time they would come to the truth of enlightenment in the light and would set aside the darkness, but that until they had grown to this enlightenment that much strife would engulf her creation. This was the age of Sissavia, and it is the time we live in now.
It is also written, however, that when the Twi'lek peoples, as the choosen of the Mother come to attain enlightenment, and banish the darkside from their souls, that all the universe will know a new age of paradise and that the temptation of the darkness will be banished once more and death will no longer hinder the spirits of Her children.
It is this set of creation myths that have formed the foundations of the ancient religion of the Temple of Kika'lekki. And it is the hope for enlightenment and peace that drive the worshippers of the Mother, in hopes that they may bring about the banishment of the darkside forever.
Like all creation myths, there may be some truths in the Twi'lek spiritual tales. Perhaps, long ago Ryloth was a garden planet, and some castastrophe brought abought the orbit that today makes the world uninhabitable on the surface. Perhaps it was even somehow related to the Force and a misuse of the power of the darkside. Likely, we will never know, as that day is lost in times so far past as to be out of memory. But, the Twi'lek belief in the Mother, in Her Breath, the Living Force, and in eventual enlightenment are strong even after so long and have been the cornerstone of the entire Rylothian society.
The Temple teaches that each soul has the ability to reach oneness with the Great Mother and with the Force in enlightenment and understanding. The priestesses tell us that in truth, our seperateness is but an illusion, that we have never been apart from the one that is the Mother, and that we live these lives to experience the wonderous journey that leads us back to that understanding...to experience struggles and events that help us grow and to allow the one to experience that journey through us. "We are one spirit," they say, "though we travel many paths back home."
Perhaps it is this deep belief in the oneness of all life that has steeled the twi'lek peoples through so much strife and hardship over the millenia. Regardless, it remains that the Temple and the worship of the Mother is central to not only the society, but to each member of it. Prayers are said daily and candles and incense are lit to the Goddess and elaborate rituals are performed to make rites of passage. Great temples and shrines dot the underground caverns of Ryloth, most as old as the religion itself, their building and dedication lost to memory.
Throughout the struggles of Ryloth's history, it has been the Temple and the faith of the people that has remained unchanged by time and the outside influences. And to this day, it is the Temple and it's priestesses, called Kivas, which means "Mother", that have been the strongest force for justice, humaneness and peace in the society.
Over the millenia, the rituals and traditions, prayers and shrines of the Temple of Kika'lekki have only grown ever more elaborate and rich in their detail and fullness. The small shrines that are housed in caverns across Ryloth, as well as the great Temples themselves are filled with ancient carvings and statues of the Goddess and of events out of mythic texts, which are so numerous as to never have been fully cataloged. Filled with candles and the smell of incense, decorated with silks and woven rugs and watched over by the devote Kivas, these shrines are a focal point of every family. The ritual rites of passage are celebrated by entire clans, and the holy days of myth devoted to the many aspects of the Goddess are solemn at times and festive at others. It is a tradition that is so full of depth and detail that no truly complete treatises could ever be written on it.
The priestesses of the Temple that serve the Mother are choosen from those who feel called to the Temple and the life of solemn duty to the Goddess and her children and comprise women from all castes and backgrounds. The Temple is truly the last remnant of the old society that remains untouched by the more recent changes, and it is here that the castes find common ground. For most female children, a period of service to the temple begins at age five and may continue for a year or longer, wherein they are taught the traditions, myths and rituals of the Temple that they may serve as lay priestesses of their own families as they gro up, and to lay an understanding of the Mother in all the women of the society. Those who feel called to serve as priestesses usually come to the Temple by the year after their coming of age ceremony, though, sadly, many are required to be sold into slavery before that time. once accepted into the priestesshood, a woman will spend many years in silent, solitary comtemplation and prayer before they return to common society to serve as Kivas for the clans. It is a quiet life, full of intraspection, pray and meditation, and the priestesses all take a vow of poverty, owning no property and surviving only on the offerings to the temple. The priestesses are led by a single oracle who has the power of visions granted by her ability to feel theforce. Although in times past, the strongest force sensitives were discovered by the Jedi and taken for training, many remained with simple abilities in touching or sensing the living Force, and the Oracle was choosen from among the strongest and wisest of these women. In this day of darkness and the Empire, where the Jedi have been discredited and the Sith hunt the users of the force, this ability of many of the Kivas is no longer spoken of publically.
Among the main twi'lek society, the Kivas are reveared and honoured as the handmadiens of the Mother herself, and the advice, peace and comfort they bring are honoured and treasured by clans of all castes.

This is but a brief summary of the work I offer up to those interested as an option for adding depth and greater detail to the Twi'lek peoples of Ryloth. I have attempted to keep my work here and my roleplay in game as true to the known and official sources as possible, but I am sure errors and deviation remain, and I ask your forgiveness for them. I hope that this infornmation, which many have requested that I finally write down for use may be of some value to some of you in your own stories and roleplay.
I will be adding an addendum to this text at a later time that will contain a english-ryl dictionary and perhaps answers to questions I receive from this posting. Please, feel free to ask any questions you have if anything is unclear or not mentioned here.
Thanks you, and May Kika'lekki Bless you all,

On the slavery thing you have a few details just a little off. It wasn't just the families of the poor that sold their daughters. All families in the clans did. The daughters of the wealthy and leadership families usually sold their daughters to other families on the planet or sold them to wealthy politicians and businesses off planet. Twi'lek women weren't just sold to Hutts, warlords and criminals, but also sold to nobles, politicians and merchants (Orn Free Taa, the representative of Ryloth in the days of the Republic, owned two Twi'lek aides).
Another part of the culture you didn't touch on was that Twi'leks have a history of force sensitivity. Several Jedi of some renown were Twi'lek like Aayla Secura. This is an important distinction between other races in SWG that have no Jedi representation (Wookiee, Rodian, Bothan, Trandoshan).
There were distinct regions around Ryloth and usually the Twi'lek from each region had a coinciding skin tone (blue shades are from the Rutian region, red tones are from the Lethan region, etc.)
Clans would hire outside mercenaries or arm themselves into small armies to defend their daughters from being kidnapped by raiding pirates and gangsters, thus robbing the planet of one of it's only natural resources.
That's all I can think to add.

For what it's worth: if you haven't already done so, you might like to get an idea what Ryl sounds like in Star Wars Galaxies--make a non-Twi'lek character on another server and get a Twi'lek to talk to you before you learn Ryl Comprehension. I got curious once and did that; the results were weird and interesting.

No, I'm right--that's Huttese. God help me, I looked it up: http://www.starwars.com/databank/character/bibfortuna/.
Unfortunately, I'm now having a hard time remembering how Ryl sounds in this particular game. Weird, whispery, guttural--"Thleewylllthe lithhhll vistrro," that kind of thing, maybe. I'll try and remind myself soon.
