Children of the Open Hand

The purpose of the children was to perform offworld missions for the Mother. Those missions included stealing Force artifacts and bringing them back to their compound on Dalna from people who, in the eyes of Path of the Open Hand, abused the Force and thus were creating harm in the galaxy. During those missions the Path also tried to spread their message to the galaxy and recruit new members. The missions also included enforcing the goals of the Mother in other systems as they tried in the Eiram and E'ronoh War.

Due to the machinations of the Mother, all of the Children except for Yana Ro were killed in an ambush on Thelj, the entire event orchestrated by the Mother. A new group of Children were formed and put on under the leadership of the Herald. This group included Ro, as well as new members Shea Ganandra and Barkov. During the Battle of Jedha, the Mother tasked them with finding and recovering the Rod of Daybreak. Wearing masks and armor, they raided many locations on Jedha until they found it in a vault beneath the Final Protector Jedi statue.
