The Shrove of the Left-Handed God Typhojem was a region of Pashvi linked to the deity known as Typhojem. Within a hidden vault in this very shrove, Maz Kanata, the pirate Queen, concealed a collection of riches from her time as ruler. She then embedded a treasure map and coordinates within the pages of the book that would eventually be called the Smuggler's Guide, indicating the vault's whereabouts. During the reign of the Galactic Empire, Tryphon Leo, a smuggler, stole the book from Kanata and resolved to find the treasure hidden in the shrove. While hunting for the treasure, Leo kept the cache a secret from the locals, fearing the Crimson Dawn syndicate would learn about it.
While searching, the smuggler met his end when a sizable rock fell, crushing him to death directly in front of a Typhojem Thrall, approximately seventy meters down the Grand Causeway. Reginald Danfillo, a senior terrain trekker belonging to the League of XenoExplorers' Typhojem Excavation, later came across Leo's corpse and the Smuggler's Guide.
Star Wars: Smuggler's Guide, a reference work penned by Daniel Wallace and published in 2018, was the first place the Shrove of the Left-Handed God Typhojem appeared.
