Dialog transcript

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.

Hero of Tython, Barsen'thor, Yuleph Phan

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

Summary

	"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." - Kolovish to Jedi Padawans This event took place on the planet Tython during the Flesh Raider uprising shortly before the end of the Cold War. While in the village of Kalikori, the Jedi Duo were approached by Yuleph Phan, Master of Rituals of the village. He offered the Jedi to perform Pilgrims' rite of passage - if they endure the ceremony, they would be awarded an audience with Kolovish to receive her wisdom and her gifts. When they agreed to try, he explained that Kolovish lived in the mountains above, once she was the leader of the Pilgrims, and had now become their guide and protector. To complete the ceremony, the Jedi must walk the thousand steps to her home, carrying a burning brand and lighting the signals along the path, while protecting the flame from beasts and Flesh Raiders. He added that their participation in the ceremony would help bridge the gap between the Pilgrims and the Jedi Order. The duo raced up the mountain path to the Matriarch's Summit, fighting off the Flesh Raider slavers, slavemasters, manglers, maulers and pathfinders. The slavers commanded dozens of Cthons, urging them to attack the Jedi, but were killed along with their enslaved creatures. Near the end of the journey, they were attacked by a lone powerful Flesh Raider - definitely the leader of the group, but they were able to defeat and kill him. The Padawans reached the summit and met with Kolovish. She greeted them and congratulated them on their success, adding that very few Jedi had made it that far, and proclaiming them friends of the Pilgrims. Kolovish presented them with gifts and wished them luck in the fight against darkness of the planet they shared.	See also The Cold War
