The Forbidden Fortress of the Gorax was a gigantic rock fortress located in the middle of the Desert of Salma on the forest moon of Endor. It was filled with deep crevices and giant spiders. Its single occupant was a Gorax, who had captured Jeremitt and Catarine Towani. The Ewoks of Bright Tree Village were scared and fearful of the Fortress, and would avoid it at all costs. The Ewoks advised their Human friends to stay away from it as well. But when Logray divined that the Fortress was where young Mace and Cindel's parents could be found, Deej and his three sons were forced to journey to it in order to rescue them.
