The receiving chamber functioned as an assembly location for the Sorcerers of Rhand. This chamber existed within the Central Ruin, which itself was situated on the planet Rhand. Rhand was part of the Nihil Retreat star cluster, found within the Perann Nebula of the Unknown Regions. The building housing the chamber was constructed thousands of years prior by Rhand's original inhabitants, who vanished, leaving only ruins. In 80 BBY, a chronicler hailing from Carrivar, named Succate, traveled to Rhand's Central Ruins seeking knowledge about the Sorcerers. Within the receiving chamber of the ruin, Succate faced harassment and intimidation from Rhandites in varying conditions of disrepair and disintegration.
