Lortum was a concocted paradise world that, according to the belief of ancient Shiibians, was the sacred land where only gods, royalty, and those who were powerful enough in the Force could enter. Moreover, it was believed that an ordinary man could never find the secret path to Lortum. According to the Shiibian myth, Lortum was the only place where the last of the Shiibian Rulers could be hiding. Both the planet and the Last Ruler were considered by the majority of historians as another legend of the extinct peoples.
