SWTOR Loremaster of Tython Location Guide

To complete the "Loremaster of Tython" achievement you must find all four listed lore objects both hidden and obvious on Tython. This written guide will show you where to locate each lore object.

The Achievement can be found in your Legacy (Y) > Location > Tython > Exploration.

Listed in alphabetic order:

• Holocron
• Jedi Weapons
• Rebuilding the Jedi Order
• Rediscovering Tython
• Additional Lore Objects (Does not count towards the Loremaster Achievement)

Holocron

The Holocron lore object can be obtained by both the Jedi Consular and the Jedi Knight as part of their individual Class Stories.

As a Jedi Consular you get the Codex Entry when completing your Class Mission The Path of a Jedi. After you completed your tasks in The Gnarls, you report to Master Yuon Par in the Jedi Temple. You will get your Codex Entry alongside your new title Padawan.

As a Jedi Knight you get the Codex Entry when completing your conversation with Master Bela Kiwiiks during your Class Mission Enemy Force in Lower Kaleth.

The Codex Entry can be found in your Log (L) > Codex > Lore > Holocron.

Holographic chronicles--more commonly called "holocrons"--are sophisticated data storage devices capable of cataloging vast amounts of complex information within their crystal lattice structure. Frequently used by both the Jedi and the Sith to preserve the wisdom of ancient Masters and Sith Lords, holocrons can only be accessed by Force-sensitive individuals. Some are "merely" repositories of incredible lore, while others possess virtual personalities of their own, modeled after their creators.

Many believe it was actually the Sith who first developed holocron technology, as the oldest known examples are all relics of the dark side. Interestingly, Jedi holocrons take the form of a glowing cube, while Sith holocrons are usually pyramid-shaped. Some scholars claim the six-sided cube of the Jedi represents a more modern and advanced version of the original four- and five-sided pyramids favored by the Sith, though hard evidence for this idea is scarce.

Jedi Weapons

The Jedi Weapons lore object can be obtained by both the Jedi Consular and the Jedi Knight as part of their individual Class Stories.

As a Jedi Consular you get the Codex Entry when completing your Class Mission The Forge when you receive your first Lightsaber in the area of the same name, south of The Forge Remnants.

As a Jedi Knight you get the Codex Entry when completing your Class Mission Weapon of the Jedi when you receive your first Lightsaber in The Forge, south of The Forge Remnants.

The Codex Entry can be found in your Log (L) > Codex > Lore > Jedi Weapons.

The lightsaber is the iconic symbol of the Jedi. Through the Force, it becomes an extension of the wielder; serving as both a powerful tool for defense and a devastating weapon against the dark side. Padawans, however, typically use electroblade training swords until they have proven themselves worthy. Only then can a Padawan make a pilgrimage to the Forge on Tython to construct a lightsaber in accordance with ancient Jedi traditions.

Lightsabers come in both single- and double-bladed forms, and their blades can be a variety of colors. Blue, green and yellow are the most common among the Jedi, though there are examples of other hues such as magenta and cyan. The color of a given lightsaber's blade is largely determined by the crystals in the hilt that power the weapon. Different crystals confer varying properties on the weapon, allowing each lightsaber to be customized by its creator.

Rebuilding the Jedi Order

The Rebuilding the Jedi Order lore object (a chair) is located in a teaching room near the Temple Market on the first floor of the Jedi Temple.

The Codex Entry can be found in your Log (L) > Codex > Lore > Rebuilding the Jedi Order.

In the aftermath of the Sacking of Coruscant and the establishment of peace with the Empire, the fate of the Jedi Order was uncertain. With their temple looted and in ruins and relations with the Republic government at a new low, the Jedi left the Republic capital to establish a new temple on the rediscovered world of Tython--the homeworld of the first Jedi.

By returning to their ancestral home, the Jedi hoped to reconnect with the beliefs and ideals of those who founded the order twenty millennia ago. They sought to reclaim forgotten knowledge and wisdom left behind by ancient Masters, scouring the planet for holocrons and Jedi artifacts to replace those that had been lost during the destruction of the temple on Coruscant. They began training a new generation of students and began to mend relations with those who blamed the Jedi for the destruction of the war.

On Tython, many young Jedi believe they have rediscovered the original purpose of their order: to stand firm against the servants of the dark side. Removed from the machinations and concessions of politicians and bureaucrats, the Jedi have once again become beacons in the eternal struggle between light and dark.

Rediscovering Tython

The Rediscovering Tython lore object (a plaque) is located in front of an Ancient Jedi Statue surrounded by enemy Flesh Raiders in The Gnarls.

The Codex Entry can be found in your Log (L) > Codex > Lore > Rediscovering Tython.

The birthplace of the Jedi Order was lost for many thousands of years when known hyperspace lanes leading to the region collapsed--a fate that has befallen many worlds in the unstable heart of the galaxy known as the Deep Core. After the destruction of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, Satele Shan embarked on a search to rediscover the lost world. Guided by the Force, she ventured into the Deep Core and re-emerged with astrogation charts detailing a new series of stable hyperspace lanes. Tython was once again connected to the rest of the galaxy.

Initial exploration of the planet took months, as Jedi scouts combed the surface for clues to Tython's history. Lives were lost--to a troubled landscape, to the Flesh Raiders and to forces unknown--but soon, the Jedi Council established a new temple on the world, determined to rebuild Tython and return it to humble glory.

Additional Lore Objects

These Lore Object does not count towards the Loremaster Achievement. They are simply providing more knowledge and a small amount of XP. They are purely optional.

Jedi Council

The Jedi Council lore object (a plaque) is located next to the Council Chamber door when you come up the stairs to the second floor in the Jedi Temple.

The Codex Entry can be found in your Log (L) > Codex > Organizations > Jedi Council.

Those who walk the path of the Jedi are guided and overseen by the Jedi High Council. Sworn to protect and defend the Republic, the Council has existed in one form or another for millennia, comprised of the wisest Jedi Masters of every era.

After the destruction of the Jedi Temple and the signing of the Treaty of Coruscant, the modern council removed itself from the politics of the galactic capital and settled on Tython, the ancestral home of the Jedi. Led by Master Satele Shan, the Council now struggles to uphold its peaceful ideals in the face of the Sith threat. This paradox is reflected in the personalities and beliefs of various members of the Council--some, such as the scholarly Master Syo Bakarn, hope the Sith can be redeemed and turned to the light side; others, such as the militaristic Master Jaric Kaedan, believe peace can only be achieved when all those who serve the dark side are destroyed.

Satele Shan

The Jedi Council lore object (a plaque) is located in front of a statue next to the Library where you also can find the Trainers on the second floor in the Jedi Temple.
Note: This might not be necessary for Jedi Knights, because they usually gets this Codex Entry as they enter the Temple.

The Codex Entry can be found in your Log (L) > Codex > Persons of Note > Satele Shan.

Grand Master of the Jedi Order and leader of the Jedi Council, Satele Shan was born on the Core World of Brentaal Four and is descended from legendary Jedi Bastila Shan. Both a gifted warrior and wise teacher, Satele was personally responsible for rediscovering Tython and its hyperspace route. Ever since, she has devoted herself to the Jedi resettlement of Tython and the revitalization of the order.

Satele has played a key role in recent galactic history in other ways, as well. She fought on the front lines of several major battles--including the battles of Alderaan and Rhen Var--and was present as a Padawan during the Imperial retaking of Korriban, the first modern contact between the Sith Empire and the Republic. She is greatly respected by certain members of the Republic military, and her advice is often sought by the Supreme Chancellor. In person, Satele's strength in the Force is matched with a keen intelligence and a subtle sense of humor.

Togruta

The Togruta lore object (a datapad) is located next to male Togruta Jedi Master sitting in the room on the northside on the second floor of the Jedi Temple.

The Codex Entry can be found in your Log (L) > Codex > Species > Togruta.

Occasionally confused with Twi'leks, Togrutas are distinguished by multicolored skin pigmentation and large, hollow horns (similar in appearance to Twi'lek head-tails) that permit a Togruta to sense ultrasonic waves. These physical adaptations were required for Togrutas to endure and to hunt on their homeworld of Shili, which is dominated by large and deadly beasts. Togruta culture is tightly knit out of necessity, as individual survival there often depended on tribal unity.

Because of their ingrained affinity for teamwork and togetherness, Togrutas are among the Republic's most loyal and dependable citizens. Indeed, a higher-than-normal percentage of Togrutas exhibit powerful Force sensitivity and serve in the Jedi Order. Some scholars speculate that the Togrutas' unique sensory adaptations and strong cultural bonds makes them more receptive to learning the ways of the Jedi.
