    Master Par
    Some people, even some Jedi, disapprove of my friendship with Qyzen. I wanted you to meet, before rumors prejudiced you.
    First, thank you for saving the holograms. The Jedi have lost enough lately without losing our history, too.
    Barsen'thor
    I was glad to help, Master.
    Master Par
    I've identified the holoprojector that was stolen. It contained a hologram of... Master Rajivari.
    Rajivari was another of the Jedi founders. He... turned to the dark side. He betrayed the very order he helped to create.
    Barsen'thor
    What exactly did Rajivari do?
    Master Par
    Details of his life are maddeningly sparse.
    Barsen'thor
    Why would the founders keep Rajivari's image among them, after what he did?
    Master Par
    Excellent question. To honor his previous contributions? Or a gesture of healing? Hmm. Rajivari was immensely powerful. That stolen hologram could hold his darkest secrets.
    The thief is likely from Kalikori village. Local Twi'lek Pilgrims, here illegally; many of them are poor, or hungry.
    Barsen'thor
    You said Kalikori village isn't a legal settlement. I didn't think Tython had such laws. And why are these Twi'leks here?
    Master Par
    Religious persecution drove them from their homeworld. The Republic couldn't give the Twi'leks permission to colonize Tython - too dangerous - but they came regardless - and found sanctuary here.
    I'd like you to go to Kalikori village, discover who took the holoprojector, and retrieve it. But, tread lightly.
    We're forbidden to fully defend them, even when the Flesh Raiders attack. Relations are... strained.
    Barsen'thor
    We're Jedi. Aren't we obligated to help those in need?
    Master Par
    This is the Jedi Council's judgment. I might disagree, but the decision is made.
    When you reach Kalikori village, find Bashenn, captain of the village guard. He knows everyone, he may have seen the holoprojector.
    I think meeting these Pilgrims will be a good lesson for you, Padawan. Go carefully.

    Bashenn
    Break out another cask. Or three. The festival only comes once a year; our stores can take it.
    Vanel
    Just as well. We have an uninvited guest.
    Bashenn
    I see. Festival of Awakening, Jedi. You're not welcome here.
    Barsen'thor
    I apologize for interrupting. Master Yuon Par asks if you've seen a Jedi holoprojector.
    Vanel
    Huh. If Yuon Par's asking, guess we could try and remember.
    Barsen'thor
    Someone took a Jedi relic from the Gnarls, a holoprojector. I was hoping you might have seen it. Its information could be harmful.
    Bashenn
    A holoprojector. Yeah, I know what you mean. Nalen found one - Nalen Raloch. Maybe you've heard of him.
    Barsen'thor
    I haven't, but it sounds like he has a reputation.
    Bashenn
    Nalen Raloch. Our dueling champion for nine years straight. He once rescued an entire scouting party from Flesh Raiders, single-handed.
    He planned our defenses. Protects us when we go foraging. Without him, we wouldn't even be having the festival.
    And no, I'm not telling you where he is. Nalen earns his peace and quiet.
    Barsen'thor
    That hologram's data isn't safe; Nalen should be warned. Or do you want to risk something happening to him?
    Bashenn
    Nalen can take care of himself.
    Vanel
    Against Flesh Raiders, sure. But some of that Jedi tech is weird.
    Barsen'thor
    If you help me find that holoprojector, the Jedi Council will hear of it. And we're generous to our friends.
    Bashenn
    You expect us to believe that?
    Allia
    Bashenn, if the Jedi offer you a favor, you say "yes"!
    Bashenn
    Okay, fine. Nalen went into the Flesh Raiders' territory. He's probably still there; he's been gone a while.
    Barsen'thor
    I thought this was a special day. Shouldn't he be here celebrating?
    Bashenn
    Look, you got what you came for, Jedi. Just leave.
    Allia
    Nalen just... likes to be alone these days. And festivals aren't really his thing.
    Vanel
    Though last year, he did the Waker's Dance with the rest of us.
    Bashenn
    I think Nalen's got a camp out there. If you see him, tell him to be back for the feast.

    Nalen Raloch
    You make a lot of noise. I come for a Flesh Raider, I find a Jedi Padawan. I come to listen. To think, among the dead. To fight for my people. Why have you come?
    Barsen'thor
    My Master sent me, to bring Rajivari's holoprojector back to the temple. The villagers said you'd taken this holoprojector, and told me where to find you.
    Nalen Raloch
    I'm called Nalen Raloch. The others in the village spin tales of their "legendary protector." They don't understand. Are the Flesh Raiders destroyed? No. My people aren't safe until my learning's complete.
    Tython's relics still have lessons. I listen. I can... do things I never imagined possible. I will be the defender my people deserve.
    Barsen'thor
    Perhaps your studies are making you into something else.
    Nalen Raloch
    Jedi condemn what they can't control.
    Barsen'thor
    Once you become this great defender, what's the next step?
    Nalen Raloch
    We make Tython ours. No Jedi. No Republic. Our world to plow, and harvest, and defend. We hunt the Flesh Raiders to extinction, and laugh.
    Barsen'thor
    Help Kalikori village if you wish, but Rajivari's holoprojector wasn't yours to take.
    Nalen Raloch
    Tython is our home, too. We'll use whatever we find to defend ourselves; you Jedi don't have a say. But you're not a concern. Only the Flesh Raiders matter. Rajivari's hologram showed me how to punish them.
    The Flesh Raiders will come. But not leave. A merciful death, compared to what my people have suffered.
    Barsen'thor
    What crimes have I committed that deserve being buried alive?
    Nalen Raloch
    There are hidden wonders, Jedi, and my journey has just begun. Now run. Or die.

    Master Par
    Padawan, I just spoke to Ranna Tao'Ven, the daughter of Kalikori village's matriarch, concerning your visit there.
    I want you to meditate on what you learned. Such experiences are what shape us as Jedi.
    Barsen'thor
    I found the holoprojector, as you asked.
    Master Par
    We should check that Rajivari's hologram is safe.
    Barsen'thor
    The holoprojector was stolen by a Twi'lek, Nalen Raloch. He'd learned Force techniques from Rajivari's hologram - he was obviously unstable.
    Master Par
    A villager? Very unusual. Then this Nalen is Force sensitive.... Let's see what he saw.
    Rajivari (Hologram)
    Activation protocol begins. A few words - shall this be all my legacy? No. My enemies are long dead. It is time.
    Hear me. I have left true wisdom behind. For those who follow where the first blade points, from the sanctuary of the order. All else is fleeting....
    Master Par
    My word. "True wisdom." Padawan, he... he's talking about the Fount of Rajivari.
    Barsen'thor
    Master, you seem shaken. What is this "Fount of Rajivari"?
    Master Par
    I- I'm fine. This is just... hard to believe. After Rajivari fell, sources claimed he created a great archive of his knowledge and teachings. The Fount of Rajivari.
    Generations of Jedi searched for it, finding nothing. The Fount's considered a hoax by all reputable scholars, but... we just heard proof.
    Barsen'thor
    It said to follow where the first blade points, from the sanctuary of the order. What sanctuary? And... Nalen Raloch saw this hologram, Master. More of Rajivari's knowledge could make him incredibly dangerous.
    Master Par
    The hologram said, follow where the first blade points, from the sanctuary of the order... Kaleth! The ruins at Kaleth- the name means "sanctum." It's the remains of an ancient fortress. Evidence suggests Kaleth was destroyed in a great battle; old droids still walk those ruins today. But this "first blade" is a puzzle.
    Barsen'thor
    I can only think of one blade a Jedi would wield.
    Master Par
    Good deduction, but lightsabers had yet to be invented. We have found several old weapons in one section of Kaleth... nothing like a "first blade," but a good place to begin.
    Ha. I planned your training so carefully. But the Force has intervened. Finding the Fount of Rajivari and stopping Nalen, must be... a greater test.
    Barsen'thor
    Are you saying the Force is guiding me? And even if the Force is shaping my training, I want your help, Master Yuon.
    Master Par
    Sometimes the Force, not the Master, shapes a Padawan's trials. This seems to be such a time. And... I... thank you.
    You should know, Padawan. The Council tends to disapprove of such "training," but I'll explain everything to them.
    For now, focus on exploring Kaleth for this "first blade." Call me on your holocommunicator at once if you have any success.

, had taken the holoprojector and ventured deep into Flesh Raider territory. The Padawan followed Raloch's path and found the holoprojector in Raloch's camp established inside a cave.
Raloch soon arrived himself, explaining to the Padawan that the reason he had stolen the holoprojector was to find a way to defeat the Flesh Raiders once and for all, thus protecting the people of the Kalikori village from them. Raloch was, in fact, sensitive to the Force and had gained some knowledge on how to manipulate it from Rajivari's hologram. Demonstrating what he had learned, Raloch used the Force to collapse the cave in an attempt to attract the Raiders there and have them killed. After doing so, the Twi'lek left the scene. The Padawan took Rajivari's holoprojector and, fighting through the Flesh Raiders

attracted by the groundquake, managed to escape from the cave as well. Bringing the projector to Master Par, the Padawan activated it, hoping to learn what Raloch had been after. However, the holographic image of Rajivari merely spoke enigmatically of some sort of "true wisdom," which he had hidden at a location which the "first blade at the sanctuary of the Order" pointed at.
