The Jedi investigate and confront the Path of the Open Hand on Dalna in Lydia Kang’s the High Republic: Cataclysm.
The Jedi are growing more and more suspicious of the Path of the Open Hand. When the very fragile peace between Eiram and E’ronoh collapses due to the Battle of Jedha, things then get worse when it appears that E’ronoh intended to poison Eiram’s oceans. However, the Jedi begin finding clues that point to the involvement of the Path of the Open Hand on Dalna. This leads to an investigation. Meanwhile, Axel Greylark manages to escape from prison and finds himself back in service to the Path. As more Jedi arrive on Dalna, the situation becomes explosive and a battle breaks out. In this episode of Podcast Stardust, we discuss the latest entry in phase two of The High Republic.
