Sorcerers of Tund

The Sorcerers of Tund were a group associated with the light side of the Force that was founded on the planetStar Wars: Complete Vehicles Tund. Members of the sorcerers who embraced the dark side of the Force were considered apostates and expelled. Artifacts relating to the dark side portion of the Sorcerers of Tund were stored in the Archive of Forbidden Artifacts, a prohibited section of the Jedi Temple Archives on the planet Coruscant.
==History==
Around 433 BBY, an apostate Sorcerer of Tund who had switched to the dark side of the Force attacked a village on Kiffex where the future Jedi Master Vildar Mac lived. By 382 BBY, the Sorcerers were one of several Force religions represented on the Convocation of the Force seated on the moon Jedha, alongside such groups as the Jedi Order and the Guardians of the Whills.The High Republic: Path of Deceit Their representative was Adept Tarna Miak. When Mac arrived on Jedha, he was horrified to see a Sorcerer of Tund after what he experienced in childhood and confronted the adept, only to learn from Padawan Matthea Cathley he was speaking to a convocation representative.
In 88 BBY,According to Star Wars: Absolutely Everything You Need to Know, Dooku was eighty years old at the time of the First Battle of Geonosis. Star Wars: Galactic Atlas places the battle in 22 BBY, thus dating Dooku's birth to 102 BBY. The script of Dooku: Jedi Lost states that Dooku was fourteen years old when he snuck into the Archive of Forbidden Artifacts and saw an artifact related to the Sorcerers of Tund, placing the event in 88 BBY. Jedi Initiates Dooku and Sifo-Dyas snuck into the Bogan Collection and saw several artifacts, including at least one that belonged to the Sorcerers of Tund, with the latter wondering what the artifacts' origins were.
