Dragigan Annals

OnACanonArticle

"We had to turn over a dozen shrines before we hit the jackpot."
―Path of the Open Hand member Yana Ro, to chief archivist Feric Oranalli[2]

The Dragigan Annals were a[2] sacred[3] shrine in the Holy City of[2] the Mid Rim[4] moon Jedha.[2] In 382 BBY,[5] the Annals were raided by the Path of the Open Hand's Children, a group of Path members who acquired Force artifacts on behalf of Elecia Zeveron, the Path's leader. The purpose of the raid was to find the Rod of Daybreak, a legendary relic that, when combined with the Rod of Seasons which the Path had already acquired, would allow Zeveron to fully control the Leveler, a creature that fed on Force-sensitives and petrified them, without question. The group were unsuccessful in finding the rod in the shrine but later found it in a vault outside the city inside a Jedi statue.[2] By 1 BBY, the Dragigan Annals had been destroyed when the rest of the Holy City was destroyed[1] by the Galactic Empire's Death Star battle station.[6]

Behind the scenes

The Dragigan Annals were first mentioned in the 2023 young-adult novel The High Republic: Path of Vengeance, written by Cavan Scott as part of the Star Wars: The High Republic multimedia project's[2] Phase II.[7]
