The Consular AU: Locations
Three locations from my personal "No Order 66" AU — a story exploring what might have happened if Anakin had helped Mace Windu defeat Palpatine instead of turning against him.
In this timeline, the Clone Wars drag on for two more years as the leaderless Separatists try to hold out, but peace is eventually restored and the Jedi return to their traditional roles.
Having worked through the trauma of the war, Caleb Dume becomes a Jedi Consular specialising in the study of ancient civilisations, with his Padawan Ezra Bridger at his side. When a temple on Lasan is looted, he's assigned Captain Hera Syndulla as his pilot — someone he vaguely knew growing up, back when her father Cham was a Senator for Ryloth.
From there, the two find themselves racing against time to stop the crime lord Maul from getting his hands on ancient artefacts that could lead him to the long-lost World Between Worlds, which Caleb and his companions discover beneath the abandoned Temple of Lothal. Alongside allies like Sabine Wren and fellow Consular Cal Kestis, they begin exploring the dimension's endless portals, reaching remote worlds and meeting forgotten Force deities of old.
These are three key locations from the story.
The town of Artsiv is situated in a remote area in the mountains and is modelled on Tibetan towns.
The outer walls are white, whilst the inner walls lining the streets are red and decorated with bas-reliefs and murals.
The Temple of Elafe is situated in an abandoned tropical city park and features stylised snake motifs; I drew inspiration from Aztec and Burmese temples.
My version of the Temple of Lothal differs from the one seen in the animated series because, in my AU, it has been refurbished to include residential quarters and a hangar to accommodate a new Jedi outpost.
