A Dagoyan Master being sacrificed as part of the ceremony
- "Humbah! Looganah! Humbah! Looganah! Disjenck! Now shall the demon of war, Malmourral, be sated. Now shall the Frangawl clan steal your essence!"
- ―Peteen
A ceremony was conducted by the Frangawl Cult to sacrifice individuals to the Bardottan demon of war, Malmourral. The ceremony involved taking individuals powerful in the Living Force to the Frangawl Temple, a subterranean temple where the cult was headquartered on Bardotta. The leader of the cult would chant, and then push the sacrifice down an oiled slide into the maw of a statue of Malmourral. At the statue's jaw, the sacrifice would be electrocuted by green lightning, transferring their Living Force into the living sphere. Their lifeless bodies would then be dropped into the magma below.
History[]
In 19 BBY,[2] the leader of the cult, Peteen, sacrificed multiple members of the Bahk-tov Council as part of the ritual, however while attempting to sacrifice Queen Julia, he was interrupted by Junior Representative Jar Jar Binks and Jedi Master Mace Windu, who were sent by the Galactic Republic to help the Bardottans discover who was behind the disappearances of the Bahk-tov Council.[1]
Despite the efforts of Windu and Binks, Peteen escaped with Julia,[1] taking her to the Temple of Malmourral on the moon Zardossa Stix. There, Peteen was met by Mother Talzin, who they knew as the Great Mother. Talzin planned to use a lens device to harness the power of Zardossa Stix's sun to take Queen Julia's Living Force, but again was foiled by Binks and Windu. Peteen was killed and the living sphere was destroyed in the skirmish.[3]

Star Wars: The Clone Wars Chronological Episode Order on StarWars.com (backup link) puts the events of "The Disappeared, Part II" after "The Wrong Jedi," but before the events of Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith which means that its events would take place in the same year as both.
