Concord Dawn's traditions (pt.1): Villages' garnments

On Concord Dawn the majority of its population is made up of farmworkers, who tend to live mostly in the many villages all across the surface of the planet, and while they can all have different ways of dressing, there are some clothes that tend to be the most common among them:

Shirts tend to be made with a local sandy-colored cloth, a very common material across the planet that is also cheap and easy to produce, and the clothes made with it keep people fresh from the almost-always warm clime of the planet.

To this they add galaxy-wide-standard working clothes, sturdy vests, robust pants and well-made boots and shoes.

The most iconic piece of their daily clothes though is the Sal'arai, a traditional type of cloth made with colorful and detailed patterns, it can be worn in various ways and each sal'arai is different and personal to the owner, who can either make it on their own, have a relative and/or friend make it and gift it to them, or commission a local artist into making it (pre-making one and then selling it out is not a thing).

Another garnment common across the villages is the echo'mei, a dark colored veil, worn by those who recently lost a loved one or are still mourning them.

I really wanted to draw something but I couldn’t think what, so I just doodled Padawan friends folding laundry.

Shout out to Young Jedi Adventures which depicts younglings in the Tenoo temple doing this widely beloathed chore so we know that Jedi do in fact do common household things instead of leaving it for droids and only ever practicing saber techniques. I appreciate that.

Tbh if you can sense that I think there’s a whole another dimension of beauty to most things, completely invisible and baffling to most other sentients. Jedi aesthetics are completely wild and more focused on how something vibes in the force than how the crude matter is arranged.

Got really stoned by accident and been thinking really hard about Coruscant and I have to fucking say something. The concept of a city planet is fucking terrifying on any planet even approaching Earth sized. Imagine if we all right now tried to build a ceiling far above us, higher than the tallest mountains, a ceiling so high it could cover the world? Imagine the little pieces coming up aeons at a time to block out the sun and kill the sky forever for all those people. imagine if every single foot and meter of the new level covering the earth’s space was just endless city. IMAGINE A CITY THE SIZE OF THE WORLD!!! AND THEN YOU FILL IT UP AGAIN AND HAVE TO BUILD ANOTHER ENTIRE PLANET’S SURFACE AREA. IMAGINE IF THERE WAS AN ENTIRE PLANET’S WORTH OF PEOPLE LIVING OVER OUR HEADS HERE ON EARTH RIGHT NOW. WHAT TH FUCK IM FUCKING BOGGLED! THOUSANDS OF LEVELS? THOSE NUMBERS ARE INCOMPREHENSIBLE!!!! WHAT THE FUCK KIND OF MANIFESTATION OF A SEETHING COSMIC ELDRITCH BEAST IS AN ECUMENOPOLIS

elionfish

Reading this made me wonder if Coruscant is just a giant rock planet that may or may not have been terraformed and given an artificial atmosphere.

Then I remembered that it's the Taung's home world (or at least it is in Legends, not sure if it's still true in current canon), so, uh… Do you think there are any massive bodies of water buried under the thousands of levels?

Would you find huge bridges and other supporting platforms if you go down far enough?

And would the water be frozen, since there would be no sunlight to warm things up down there, or would the aforementioned levels, combined with the absurd amount of smog—that we canonically know makes living in the "lowest" levels impossible—be able to trap in enough heat to keep the water in a liquid state? Could you drown on Coruscant?

Would there be any animals still living down there, adapted to live in complete darkness, or would the theoretical oceans have been ruined completely, killing everything in them?

On a similar train of thought, I wonder whether or not all those levels have enough weight to affect the gravity of the planet.

elionfish

So I did some math regarding the gravity, admittedly in rather broad strokes, but the short answer is: while there is some change, you wouldn't notice it even if you went from the 1st floor to the 5127th. (It's less than a 0.5% change.)

I did assume that the 1st floor is ON the ground and a level is 3 meters (which seems very small, but Mount Umate would still need to be almost twice as tall as Mount Everest), and that the planet Coruscant is virtually identical to Earth, just smaller, and used the weight of Burj Khalifa to try and calculate the extra weight of the levels. Now this means that depending on the actual height of a level, the materials used for their construction and the composition of the planet, I could be very wrong, but even then, the short term effects of the gravitational change wouldn't be much more than some unusual tiredness.

Genderbend Maul + obligatory character analysis I guess

I strongly believe that if Maul was born female she would be the exact same personality wise and would make the exact same terrible life choices but would have a slightly better relationship with Mother Talzin and would try to light Obi-Wan on fire with nightsister magick at least a few times before giving up and going back to trying to stab him.

The relationship with Savage would probably get off to a more rocky start but I do think Savage would realize pretty quickly that she’s not like the nightsisters he knows and then the big brother instinct would kick in and he’d forget she’s not a nightbrother.

The sexual dimorphism in Dathomiri Zabrak is crazy so it was really fun to gender-bend such a distinct looking character. I tried to keep the base features the same but do some nightsistery style.

Last thought: I think Maul would have to be a given sith name for this au, there’s no way Talzin named her heir a ‘male’ name, but Sidious probably would name a baby zabrak sith ‘maul’ regardless of gender. Not as important but it opens up the possibility for an original name and drama with Talzin.
