The Crucible

The Selection was a three-ritual series of brutal trials in which the Nightsisters of Dathomir (LadyVader) chose men from the Nightbrother clan to serve as their mates and servants. While the Selection was only for Nightbrothers, the three trials of the Selection were also employed to select Nightsisters ready for full warrior status.

Section heading[]

The ceremony consisted of the Test of Fury, the Test of Night, and the Test of Elevation. All three trials were held at the arena on Dathomir known as the Crucible.


Firmus Piett (LadyVader) was the only human to have ever faced the Selection. Even though Avaria Beillane Piett tried to talk him out of it, he stood in the Crucible in front of her clan and told Kurzhal Vyzhara and the rest of the Dreaming River Coven his feelings for her.

Mother Vyshara, the Force mentions constant change, but one thing will never change, which is. . . I cannot imagine a greater fear than waking up in the morning and Avaria not being here. Though the suns would continue to rise and set, the worlds spin on their axes and the stars continue to shine, my universe would mean nothing without her, for she means everything in mine to me. That's why I undergo this Selection. For her. Without her, I'm incomplete. The universe means nothing. . . and Avaria means everything. She completes my heart, my soul and my mind.
—Firmus Piett to Kurzhal Vyshara


The Test of Fury[]

The Test of Fury was the first trial. The Test of Fury primarily involved combat, with candidates either being pitted against each other or their instructor.

The Test of Night[]

The Test of Night was the second trial. Candidates fought much like they did in the Test of Fury, save for lacking the light of Dathomir's four moons. Fighters sometimes employed the technique known as the Ears of the Chiroptix to pass the trial. During Firmus' Selection, he went up against Naarias during his Test of Night.

The Test of Elevation[]

The Test of Elevation was the third and final challenge in a series of trials that the Nightbrothers and Nightsisters of Dathomir were forced to pass to go on to become full warriors. Candidates fought amidst the moving stone pillars of the Crucible in a display of their abilities.
