The survival arena was an area on the planet Siline where the survival level, the second round of the Crowning Convocation coming-of-age ritual, was held. Although the arena was not in the same location each time the event was held, it was usually in the same location during most of the convocations in the century before[1] 134 BBY,[2] including the Crowning Convocation held that year. The arena was curated to be dangerous, and included poisonous plants, bugs, and concealed traps. The goal was for competitors to survive six days and five nights in the survival arena.[1]
Behind the scenes
The survival arena appeared in The Acolyte: The Crystal Crown, a 2025 young-adult novel by Tessa Gratton.[1]

Notes and references

- ↑ The events of The Acolyte: The Crystal Crown take place in 134 BBY per the following reasoning. The Acolyte: The Crystal Crown establishes that Jecki Lon is the Padawan of Sol and Yord Fandar has yet to undertake his Jedi Trials. The novel also states that Lon has been Sol's Padawan for at least two years, as well as that Sol had not taken a Padawan for years after his former Padawan, Verosha Aniseya, left the Jedi Order. From this, at least four years have passed since Aniseya left the Order. "Lost / Found"—the events of which take place in 132 BBY per the reasoning here—establishes Aniseya left the Order six years before its events, equating to 138 BBY. The episode further states Fandar passed his Jedi Trials two years before its events, meaning he must have passed his Trials in 134 BBY.
