This planet is populated by people who are descendants of human Je'daii who were transported by a wormhole and subsequently crashed on the planet approximately 30,000 years ago, bringing forth a subhuman race of fully force sensitive beings known as Erinvari

  Young boys are taught how to fight with lightning swords from a very early age. Those crude lightsabers are the only piece of technology left from ancient times. There are further pieces of Jedi culture engraved in their culture, such as hunting for kyber crystals in the caves on the mountain that must be done by every boy before he reaches teenage years.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
30 000 BBY - a spaceship carrying 10 Je'dai, 8 females, and 8 males is stuck in a wormhole and transported to the Unknown Regions. During the transport, the ship is damaged beyond repair and is forced to crash on a planet nearby.

During the transport through the wormhole and subsequent crash, only two male Je'dai and six female Je'dai survived. Over the coming years, they would begin to pair with males, taking on multiple wives.

Their children would also be trained in Je'dai. However, through the generations, the name "Je'dai" would be lost through history, and the force would begin to be called "Mana."

Due to a lack of males, two distinct DNAs would be formed, one that leads to children from that side being born with bright red hair and green eyes. And the other children with black hair and bright blue eyes.

28 000 BBY - 2000 years after they crashed on the planet, the entire memory of the Je'dai would be wiped out. The force powers are almost forgotten, with the only thing remaining being lightsabers, which have become their main weapons. Technology is still somewhat present.

The two distinct DNAs have resulted in two main tribes being created, only known to history as the reds and the blacks. The two tribes would often be at odds, leading to constant conflicts.

25 000 BBY - The First Great War erupts between the two sides, resulting in massive loss of life for both sides. Technology becomes even more limited with many pieces of it being lost in the war.

25 100 BBY - The Second Great War erupts. The carnage and destruction it is still felt to this day. War resulted in the destruction of any sort of group civilization that had been built on the planet. The "Blacks" DNA is completely eradicated as the tribe is annihilated in the war. Out of close to a million Erinvari, only 10,000 survive the war. All with the red DNA.

20 000 BBY - Population is finally recovering, but those living on the planet are split into thousands of hunter-gatherer tribes. First appearances of Druids who are powerful Mana users begin to appear.

10 000 BBY - Great sickness befalls the planet, destroying much of the population.

5 000 BBY - House Drethari becomes the first of the "Great Chieftains" after Victor Drethari conquers ten tribes to form the first Kingdom of Erinvar.

4 000 BBY - Dretharis Kingdom is destroyed in a civil war between his children

1000 BBY - Over the last 3000 years, the world has once again reverted to tribal government. There are thousands of small tribes scattered around the planet.

902 ABY - Planet remains in the same state as it was 2000 years ago, with many tribes populating the world. House Drethari once again appears in the history books with members of it leading one of the more dominant tribes once again.
