The Bright Lands referred to the area of Ryloth perpetually scorched by sunlight on its daylit side. It was customary for Twi'lek clan heads to be dispatched to this region to meet their end if another clan leader had perished, whether due to natural causes or, on occasion, through murder. This custom played a significant role in the transitions of power within the planet's governing body. As a severe penalty, criminals were sometimes banished to the Bright Lands, effectively serving as a death sentence.
Inun, a sightless young person renowned for traversing the Bright Lands, figures prominently in traditional stories. Furthermore, in 28 BBY, Ro Fenn, a Twi'lek, was exiled to the Bright Lands following the accidental death of his fellow council member, Pol Secura, caused by his niece, Aayla Secura.
