Okay so I recently reread all the Magus of the Library books I own and something about the Kadoe niggled at the corner of my brain that now permanently and inexplicably owned by Star Wars. Such as the fact that the Kadoe widely use masks, but not all of them, and of the ones that do, the only ones that can see their face are their family or spouse. And also, it is highly inappropriate for others to refer to a Kadoe by their given name. And also, but less relevantly, the Kadoe used to have a prolific empire, and were ostensibly very good at fighting considering that their contribution to the Seminal Scripts is a trio of grimoires that are apparently the most terrifying in all of history, before the empire fell to the Rakta.

Now, I dunno about you, but that sounds like a Star Wars group of people who are sworn to never reveal their face to anyone other than family, who restrict use of their personal name, and who used to have an empire before it fell. And are also really good at fighting.

Also, uh. Well. Haupi and Jedi and systematic massacre of an entire people. Y'know. Some parallels could be drawn there. And also maybe between Sith Lords, the Emissary of Wormwood, and great evils making things worse for everyone everywhere.

All I'm saying is that it wouldn't feel out of place if some Kadoe—maybe a Tass or Sooni or whatever subclassification is listed in the books—who comes from a highly traditional, secretive sect who obscure their names and bodies in addition to their faces, coming across some long-lived yet still childlike remnant of the Haupi, and being tasked with returning this child to whatever of their people is left.

#star wars #magus of the library #din djarin #grogu #din's name can even be converted pretty well to kadoe conventions! at least his first name is the typical 3–4 letters of kadoe first names #(i'm not counting cynthea loh tei because nothing about her is conventional kadoe)#thinking maybe grogu is a spirit? spirit are probably really long-lived so he might be almost a century old but he's still a child #popopo is specified as a valley spirit so spirits are probably born from really long-lasting natural phenomena #so like. child spirit grogu who is probably aligned with water mana to facilitate big hops and healing like theo can do #also like. manipulation of water probably means you can manipulate the water in OTHER people's bodies too #if you've learned enough to do that #so this can let grogu do some mudhorn-adjacent creature lifting too!#meanwhile there's this kadoe guy just going ??? at everything. would he even know any hyron languages??#he might know about spirits considering aya as a child found one just by walking through the woods near her town #but would he know about mana? magi? who the haupi are and why they were massacred? any language other than kadoe and maybe rakta tongues?#and now im thinking on how other haupi/jedi remnants would look #like would they be purely haupi like togid probably is? or would they be a mix like theo is?#luke n leia would definitely be a mix. probably hyron-haupi like theo #i'm tempted to think of ahsoka as a haupi-creyak mix so she could have room to deny her haupi heritage like she does with the jedi #also. highly tempted to make one of the trine as an equivalent to the darksaber. probably the thunder grimoire #din would probably be raised in wilderness as part of a secluded group of kadoe #so there would be enough mana in him for a grimoire to go 'oh i like you' and attach itself to him #especially if there's a sapient synthspirit in it capable of liking him #the fact that it's the thunder of the trine is irrelevant din just wants to be left alone #writing reference #okay enough tags! hopefully this is enough to finally excise this weird as hell idea from my brain
