| abstract | - The Burning Rock was a clan of Dathomiri Nightsisters. Their village was destroyed by a clan of Light Side witches under the leadership of Jaina Wyn, but their Clan Mother's life was spared. Sira Ves was among their number; her teachings would later be used by La-Reia Beorht, Ember Rekali and Brembla Kol-Rekali. After the clan's defeat, they relocated, building a new village several miles from the territory of the Red Hills Clan. During the Sojourn, Velok kidnapped a Burning Rock sentry and stole the knowledge of the blood trail technique from her, while pursued by Burning Rock Nightsisters. He killed some of his pursuers, released the sentry and disappeared. This incident - and the increased strength of the Red Hills Clan - prompted the Burning Rock Clan to relocate across the ocean. They used old Imperial craft and wooden ships to travel to an ancient stone city, situated on a small island near an uninhabited continent. With the arrival of Darius Malakai in the system, Nightsisters from all over Dathomir moved to this city. The Burning Rock Clan was increasingly marginalized, eventually becoming only one of many factions within the city.
