"When the philosophers and scholars from across the galaxy first arrived on Tython in the age of the Infinite Empire, they were brought forth from the stars on giant pyramidal constructs called the Tho Yor. These nine massive ships scattered across the planet and landed in separate locations, releasing those held within to settle the planet. The Tho Yor themselves would serve as the very foundations for these travelers' new homes and places of study. One of these Tho Yor deposited it's passengers on the slopes of an active volcano along the Tythos Ridge. The Tho Yor remained aloft in the sky looking down at the volcano as the early Je'daii Order established a massive metal and stone temple on the lip of the active caldera. A monument to the art of metallurgy, the students of Vur Tepe would craft their weapons in the fires of the volcano; the bottom of the temple formed an interior dome which harnessed the heat from the flowing lava to power the forges. The temple itself, a rust-colored zigurrat which rested on four sheer support walls, was crowned with several barrel-shaped smokestacks that belched out smoke created in the fires of the Forge. Upon arriving at Vur Tepe, it was necessary for all Journeyers to undergo an orientation of sorts which provided them with the skills they needed to endure the adverse affects of the Force-storms raging beneath them at all times. The temple at Anil Kesh had a close working relationship with the Temple of Vur Tepe; a saying existed which claimed, \"whatever Anil Kesh can imagine, Vur Tepe can make real.\" The Je'daii Temple Master, the Je'daii who served as steward of the facility and oversaw its functions, would see that all students practiced safely and used the forges wisely. The Temple served the Order for millennia and the weapons which were created there were the finest in the systems. When the Infinite Empire invaded the Tython system, many Je'daii were pulled from their posts at the academy to contribute to the war effort. Those who remained behind forged new weapons and war material to be used against the Rakatan invaders. When the Force Wars began after a schism of ideology tore the Order asunder, the remaining Je'daii were split over which side they would join; the Ashla-Je'daii who vowed to uphold the light side, or the Bogan-Je'daii who sought to plumb the mysteries of the dark side. When Temple Master Tem Madog supported Bogan Je'daii Daegon Lok, Ashla Je'daii Garon Jard led a small group of followers into the core of the facility and destabilized the volcano over which it was perched. Ending in a violent eruption, the Temple was reduced to ruins and much of its history lost."@en . "36137"^^ .
