Since the time of Allya the planet of Dathomir has seen many changes. The Daughters of Dathomir went their separate ways to form the eight existing clans found throughout the planet. Each Clan Mother took the teachings from Allya and changing them to suit their own needs and that of their clans.

Over time the Daughters of Allya changed and with them did the clans that they formed. Since the beginning males have always played a role within the clans. Men were slaves to be used how the clan saw fit, rather it be forced labor or for procreation so the clans would continue to live and thrive.

The clans of old would fight among one another in friendly competitions for males. Males were bought, sold and traded among the Sisters and Clans. Sisters could buy or trade for another sisters’ male, should the sister desire to rid herself of the male that she owned. Males found roaming free were usually claimed by the Sister that found them. Marks and brands were necessary to keep many disputes from erupting.

In this way, it was assured that some of the smaller clans did not become stagnate. Some males were discovered to have a connection to the weave and these males were the most valued and sought after.

The males who possessed the talent with the weave were given the name Jai. The Jai were trained from a young age to cultivate and control their abilities, as well as taught basic combat training

When of age and proficiency , a Jai was given a choice; to walk the planet a free male or return to their home and be accepted as Jai of their clan.

Azra'dite and her clan have accepted some of these traditions and altered them to suite the current needs of the clan. The Jai are still held as the lowest ranking members of the clan. However, they are no longer considered slaves. These new Jai are now warriors for the clan. All Jai are given the opportunity to be of use to the clan in the ways of training and spell weaving.

The choice to become a Jai is perhaps the most demanding choice a male could make for his future. Jai must earn the respect as any other member of the clan when coming into the fold; however, being male, a Jai must work that much harder. They will never advance beyond the rank of a Jai. All that can be done is serve the clan, but in so doing they earn honor and are given great freedoms that the Jai of the past could never possibly imagine.
