The Bright Lands was the name given to the side of Ryloth that is baked in eternal sunlight. Traditionally, Twi'lek clan leaders are sent here to die if one of their fellow clan leaders had died, either natural causes or in some cases, assassination. This tradition is instumental in the changing of hands within the planetary government. In extreme cases, criminals are also exiled to the Bright Lands as a form of capital punishment.
