SW background info.

Elio Perlman, native of Raham. Taken in by the Jedi Order when he was five, although his parents had been approached for a possible move to the Jedi Temple since he was just an infant.

The Rahamians are a very closed-off people who live in small clans spread throughout a Mediterranean-inspired landscape. The planet is especially known for its fruits and the many delicacies are exported to the rest of the galaxy, this trade being the main income that the Rahamians survive on, enough for them to live in relative luxury.

Besides their harvests, the Rahamians are most well-known for a religious reverence of the Force, an approach that is more similar to a deistic understanding than the way the Jedi Order uses it. Maybe due to this observance, Raham is one of the planets to produce most force sensitive children, but until Elio, no one had ever been handed over into Jedi care.

In their understanding of the Force, the Rahamians believe in a contrasting structure of its being. That for all the light that the Force consists of, there will be just as much dark and the two can’t exist without one another. They balance out each other perfectly and any imbalance in the Force will inevitably be a result of a negligence towards one of the two sides, neither of which is to be considered better. A prophecy is also widely known and accepted among the Rahamians, that two people will be born, one to represent either side of the Force, and only by strengthening the aspects in one another that they’re individually lacking, because of their given nature, will they be able to bring balance to the Force. Together.

Furthermore, the prophecy states that a point will be reached where one side will either have to finish off or merge with the other and the fate of the galaxy relies wholly on the choice the person it is represented by makes.
