    Yuleph Phan
    More young Jedi in Kalikori, I see. I am Yuleph Phan, master of rituals. I welcome you. You wish to participate in the ceremony, I presume? You understand the dangers?
    Jedi Duo
    Sorry, we don't know what you're talking about.
    Yuleph Phan
    You've not been told, then. I apologize. Good. Together, we'll bridge the gap between Pilgrim and Jedi.
    Many of your brethren - your "Padawans" - come to Kalikori to perform our rite of passage. Those who endure the ceremony are awarded an audience with Kolovish to receive her wisdom and her gifts.
    Jedi Duo
    Who's Kolovish? What's the ceremony all about?
    Yuleph Phan
    Kolovish lives in the mountains above. Once our leader, now she is our guide and protector. To complete the ceremony, you must walk the thousand steps to her home.
    You must carry a burning brand and light the signals along the path. You must protect the flame from beasts and Flesh Raiders. This will prove your worth.
    Jedi Duo
    We're grateful for the chance to learn your ways.
    Yuleph Phan
    You'll undergo hardship in the name of our people. Carry our light to Kolovish, or be lost in darkness. If you wish, I will ignite the brand. It burns only a short while, but--if you are deserving - it will be enough.
    Jedi Duo
    We're ready to carry the flame.
    Yuleph Phan
    Then go, and light each of the signal fires along the mountain path. When you reach the end, you will find Kolovish.

    Dialog transcript
    Kolovish
    You perform the rite of the Pilgrims well, Jedi; I saw the signal fires as you climbed the path. Very few of your kind make it this far.
    I am Kolovish, first Matriarch and reader of the ancient texts. I led our people to this planet - and I welcome you.
    My teachings angered our rulers. They spurned our lifestyle and refused to recognize the authority of the Matriarchs. On Tython, we found we could practice our ways in peace. Even the Flesh Raiders can't destroy our society - not forever.
    Jedi Duo
    It's a privilege to meet you, Matriarch.
    Kolovish
    And it is my privilege to meet a Jedi who accepts our ways.
    Even our own kind - the other Twi'leks - they mocked us and denied the authority of the Matriarchs. That is why we came here. Now you've completed the ritual, and you are friend to the Pilgrims. You share our burdens and you share our strength.
    Hero of Tython
    My duty is to the Jedi Order, not the Pilgrims.
    Kolovish
    And yet we welcome you despite this.
    Barsen'thor
    Jedi are kin to all people - no more and no less to the Pilgrims.
    Kolovish
    Perhaps that is why we can share this world.
    Take these gifts. We have very little, as you must know--but you are Jedi. You share our world, and you face a difficult future. It is the way of Jedi to face darkness. I believe you will face the darkness of our world - and perhaps beyond.
    Remember us, and remember our ways. Go to your duties, now... and as we part, know that my blessings go with you.

  • Hero of Tython, Barsen'thor, Kolovish

The Padawans reached the summit and met with Kolovish.

Kolovish presented them with gifts and wished them luck in the fight against darkness of the planet they shared.
