The Power Mounds, sometimes referred to as the Power Mounds of the Elders, were a unique and restricted location found within the Clouds of Cormelish on the planet Skako. Here, the Elders, who were the governing council of the Skakoans, would convene. As the most revered and holy site on the Skakoan homeworld, it played a significant role in their intricate religion and served as the final resting place for the Book of the Boolmide, which was safeguarded and recited by the Elders. Access to the mounds was limited; select people who journeyed to this location and read from the book had the ability to unlock the Gates of Grontessiant, a realm thought to be legendary.
Following the loss of an eye in a confrontation with Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker during the Clone Wars, Wat Tambor of the Crimlin clan was called to the Power Mounds at the behest of the Elders.
