Background: Vrant Tarnum was a terrestrial moon in the far reaches of the Stygmarn system. The Kharvashark Ruins were located in its southern hemisphere. Long before the High Republic Era, the Elders of the Path hid half of an ancient relic on Vrant Tarnum in a cave on the outskirts of the ruins, with the hopes that it would never be retrieved. Elder Tromak later divulged the location of the relic to Krix Kamerat in order to keep the information safe from the Nihil.
However, Kamerat betrayed Tromak and shared the information with Eye of the Nihil Marchion Ro. Tromak managed to escape the Nihil, and approached Jedi Grand Master Yoda for assistance retrieving the relic from Vrant Tarnum before the Nihil could get it. However, Ro and Kamerat got there first, leading to Yoda and Tromak’s starship being shot down. The Grand Master was rescued from the crash site on the moon by Jedi Initiates Kai Brightstar, Lys Solay, and Nubs, alongside pilot Nash Durango, all escaping an erupting volcano on the moon, but Yoda soon went missing as he continued his mission. Ro set up a Nihil base at the ruins, which was later investigated by a Jedi team shortly before the Nihil attacked Valo.
