A Keshiri female , Eulyn was a native of the planet Kesh , living during the era of the Great Hyperspace War . Eulyn had a daughter named Adari , a geologist who married a member of the planet ' s ruling Neshtovar , Zhari Vaal . Eulyn was largely responsible for the marriage — seeking to solidify her family ' s future position , she lobbied for the union for years . After Vaal ' s death in an accident while riding an uvak beast , Eulyn and Adari inherited a wood en house in the city of Tahv , where Eulyn took care of her grandchildren , Tona and Finn . Through her work in geology , Adari uncovered clues about the natural formation of the Keshiri landscape that contradicted the widely - held religious belief that the planet ' s continents were formed by the blood of the Keshiri gods , the Skyborn , and began teaching these findings to other Keshiri . Generally disapproving of her daughter ' s profession , and an ardent adherent to the religion , Eulyn was appalled by her daughter ' s discoveries and believed her to be a heretic . In 5000 BBY , Adari testified about the validity of her findings to the Neshtovar , leading to mobs descending upon Eulyn and Adari ' s household and pelting it with rocks . The torrent of abuse became so bad , in fact , that Adari sent Eulyn and the children to stay at her uncle ' s home . As for Adari , she fled the angry Keshiri on her husband ' s old uvak , Nink , and stumbled onto the site of a Sith crash site high in the Cetajan Mountains . Adari discovered a group of surviving Sith and led them back to society . The Sith , led by Captain Yaru Korsin , proclaimed themselves to be the Skyborn , and Adari was honored for her role . Just as she did not understand her daughter ' s supposed heresy , Eulyn failed to understand Adari ' s canonization , and she died sometime before the year 4975 BBY . After her daughter ' s death , Adari ' s personal memoirs were found , written during her exile in the far - off continent of Alanciar , and included a few tart passages about Eulyn . Personality and traits . Eulyn was a devout follower of the Skyborn religion and , as such , was appalled by her daughter ' s perceived heresy . Eulyn did not understand Adari ' s adherence to her theories , her profession , or her veneration after the arrival of the Sith , and tended to be very argumentative with her daughter . She was very ambitious regarding her family ' s position , lobbying heavily for Adari to marry a powerful member of the Neshtovar , and she was elated when she obtained an upscale wooden house . Eulyn had violet skin and dark eyes . Behind the scenes . Eulyn first appeared in " " , a 2009 eBook by John Jackson Miller . Thus far , it is her only appearance in " Star Wars " canon , although she was mentioned in one of " Skyborn " sequels , " " .
