THERE WAS ONCE A Jedi Padawan called Sol Mogra, whose master, Nil Idyth, was such a paragon of virtue that he was known throughout the Jedi Order as the most upstanding Jedi Knight of his time.

Master Idyth’s reputation was entirely unblemished; never had he put a foot wrong throughout his long and illustrious career. From his first days as a Padawan in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant to his later years as a Master in the field, he had given only the very best account of himself, and all in the Order looked to him for guidance.

Indeed, Idyth’s exploits were often the talk of the younglings, who spun wild tales of his greatest deeds, such as his single-handed liberation of the ice moon of Basath, his defeat of the Swamp Wraith of Phandas, and his banishment of the murderous specter who had once stalked the lower levels of Coruscant. Those were but a few of the triumphs attributed to Idyth, although in truth most went unrecorded, for he had never sought glory, preferring to share his most daring victories with none but the Jedi Council. Nevertheless, despite his modesty, Idyth was recognized as a great hero amongst his peers, and his reputation was unrivaled.

When the young Sol Mogra was chosen as Idyth’s Padawan, his heart swelled with pride, for he knew that he was assured the very best training the Order could provide. Simply to be associated with such a virtuous master would earn him respect amongst his fellow Padawans and the younglings.

Sure enough, Sol Mogra’s training proved intense but deeply rewarding. Master Idyth did not shy from exposing his Padawan to all the terrors of the galaxy, encouraging Sol Mogra to accompany him on dangerous missions for the Jedi Council, to face monsters both literal and metaphorical. For Idyth believed that to truly conquer one’s fear, one must hold a dark mirror to one’s heart, to recognize the dangers of a life ill lived, to flinch away from the paths that should never be taken and the choices that should never be made. Only by knowing the path to the dark side might one know how best to avoid it. So it was that Sol Mogra learned the ways of the Jedi and became just as virtuous as his master.

As the years passed, Sol Mogra absorbed all these lessons and more, striving only to make his master proud and to prove Idyth’s faith in him well founded. The Jedi Council praised the boy and watched with satisfaction as he slowly shed his childish ways and burgeoned into a worthy young man. Indeed, Sol Mogra soon proved himself ready to be sent on missions of his own, and Idyth was proud each and every time he returned successful, and there to support him each and every time he did not.

It was upon his return from a mission that Sol Mogra first heard the rumors of his master’s death. Distraught, filled with anguish and disbelief, he hurried through the Temple—hoping beyond hope that the rumors would prove unfounded.
