Battle of the Forge In 3643 BBY , near the end of the Cold War between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire , a battle occurred on the planet Tython between the forces of the Nautolan Dark Jedi Bengel Morr and a Jedi Padawan . Morr , the former Padawan of Jedi Master Orgus Din , had gone missing after the Sacking of Coruscant and the destruction of the original Jedi Temple by the Sith Empire ten years earlier . The Jedi had recently discovered that the Nautolan had gone insane and was marshaling Tython ' s native Flesh Raider s against the Jedi Order in an attempt to destroy them . During the conflict between the Raiders and Jedi , Morr approached the Pilgrims of Kalikori Village and struck a deal with them — if they delivered Morr ' s former Master to him , he would spare the settlement from further harm . However , he reneged on their deal almost immediately upon receiving the captured Jedi Master and demanded the life of Din ' s current Padawan as well , forcing the villagers to try to kill the young Jedi . The village ' s Matriarch Ranna Tao ' Ven objected , and the Padawan was able to convince the villagers to leave peacefully . Learning from Tao ' Ven that Morr had taken Din to the location of the machine known as the Forge in the ruins of an ancient city , the Padawan and the astromech droid T7 - O1 raced through the Flesh Raider – controlled territory around the city in an attempt to rescue Din . There , before the ancient machine used by the apprentices of the Jedi Order to craft their lightsabers , Din ' s apprentices of the past and present faced off . Despite Morr ' s experience , he and his Flesh Raider guards were defeated by the younger Padawan and T7 - O1 . The duo was able to subdue the Dark Jedi and awaken the unconscious Master Din . Taking Morr back to Tython ' s Jedi Temple , Din gave his apprentice the components for a lightsaber and urged the Padawan to construct the weapon as a final rite of passage . However , the Jedi ' s use of the Forge awoke a sleeping jurgoran , and the apprentice was forced to kill the enraged creature before returning to the Jedi Temple . For the Padawan ' s bravery and actions during the crisis , the apprentice was elevated to the rank of Jedi Knight and sent to the Republic capital , Coruscant , on a new assignment . Prelude . In 3643 BBY , near the end of the Cold War between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire , the native Flesh Raider s of the Jedi Order ' s adopted homeworld of Tython began attacking other groups on the world in great numbers . Thanks to the actions of Jedi Master Orgus Din and his new apprentice , the Order discovered that Din ' s former Padawan , Bengel Morr , was the mastermind behind the Flesh Raiders ' invasion . The Nautolan Morr had been present in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant during the Sacking of the capital planet by the Sith over ten years earlier . Morr was able to escape the devastation , fleeing into the ruins of the Temple and going into hiding , but his gentle personality was destroyed . Over the next decade or so , while the Jedi retreated to Tython and built a new Jedi Temple , Morr recruited a Human apprentice named Callef and plotted to destroy the Jedi Order . Viewing the Order as weak and hypocritical , Morr wanted to rebuild it into something strong enough to destroy the Sith . Using the Flesh Raiders as soldiers and training some of them in the ways of the Force , Morr urged the natives to become increasingly aggressive and strike more boldly at the Jedi , as well as the Pilgrims , who had also emigrated to the planet . However , Morr ' s plans were disrupted when Callef , at his master ' s directive , led a Flesh Raider invasion force against a Jedi base in the area known as the Tythonian Gnarls . Instead of a successful strike against a relatively unprotected outpost , Callef was killed by a recently arrived Padawan and the Flesh Raider force turned back by a team of Jedi . War on Tython . Din , who had witnessed the apprentice ' s defeat of Callef , took on the young Jedi as his new Padawan , and the pair began to investigate the Flesh Raiders ' actions . After the Padawan rescued a Jedi astromech droid named T7 - O1 while recovering a supply of weapons for the Twi ' lek settlement of Kalikori Village , the two Jedi learned from a holorecording that Bengel Morr had survived and was leading the natives . After several more assignments , Din ' s Padawan successfully disabled a shield generator protecting the Flesh Raiders ' command base while Din and several other Masters attacked the site . At the command base , the Jedi discovered the locations of many other camps , forcing the Order to send out most of the Knights and Masters on the planet to eliminate them all . Din and his Padawan each received their own assignment , with Din sending his apprentice to destroy a base near the ruins of the ancient temple - city Kaleth . Built millennia earlier by the Je ' daii Order , the predecessors of the modern Jedi , the ruins were considered by many Jedi to still be tainted with the dark side as a result of the Force Wars between the early light and darksider s . When the apprentice contacted Din to report success , the Jedi Master revealed that he had just received a distress call from Kalikori Village — they had spotted Bengel Morr . Since the other Jedi were too far away , Din and his apprentice were the only ones close enough to reach the village in time . Betrayal . What Din and his apprentice did not know was that this was a trap — upon learning that the other Masters were occupied attacking his scattered Flesh Raiders , Morr used this opportunity to strike at his former Master . He approached several villagers , including Moorint , the settlement ' s Scout Chief , and offered them a deal . If the village could deliver Din to Morr and his Flesh Raider bodyguards , then the Dark Jedi would order his forces to stop attacking the Twi ' leks . Agreeing to the terms , the villagers informed their Matriarch , Ranna Tao ' Ven , of the agreement and sent out a false distress call to Din , drawing him there under the pretense that they had spotted Morr . When Din arrived at the village ahead of his apprentice , he was subdued by Morr and several Flesh Raiders . Morr then departed , mentioning briefly to Tao ' Ven that his destination was someplace called " the Forge . " The Padawan arrived not long after Morr ' s departure and spoke with Tao ' Ven in the Matriarch ' s building . When asked about Din and the distress call , Tao ' Ven lied , saying that she didn ' t know anything about a signal , and T7 - O1 was unable to detect Din in the village . However , the Padawan was suddenly knocked out from behind , and T7 - O1 was sent reeling with an ion blast . When the Padawan awoke , Tao ' Ven was arguing with several villagers : Saylew , Eseni , and Scout Chief Moorint . Moorint revealed that they had used the signal as bait for Din , as part of the deal that Morr had offered them . But Morr had abjured their bargain , claiming that Din was not enough : he would only protect the village if they killed the apprentice . Upon learning of their plan , Tao ' Ven had protested and was trying to stop them , giving the Padawan time to persuade the villagers to leave in peace . Tao ' Ven begged the apprentice for forgiveness , horrified at what the villagers had almost done , and told the Jedi that Morr had taken Din to the Forge . Urging the apprentice to reactivate T7 - O1 , who would be able to download directions to the Forge , she was relieved to learn that the Padawan had forgiven her . The battle . Race to the Forge . While the villagers argued over the Padawan ' s fate , Morr and his Flesh Raider servants made their way through the Flesh Raider – controlled Tythos Ridge — a once lush mountain range that had become barren and burnt as a result of a major Flesh Raider presence in the region . Morr ' s destination , the Forge , was an ancient machine used by the Jedi Order ' s Padawans to build their own lightsabers as part of their final ascension to Jedi Knighthood . In the time before the Republic , the Forge was where the ancient Tythonians had crafted their weapons , and the Jedi Order had continued that tradition when they returned to the planet . Morr ' s Flesh Raider army , led by the Grand Chieftain Keshk , had also been marshaling in the ruins of the city in preparation for an attack on the Jedi Order . Keshk allowed Morr and his bodyguards to pass through the ruins with their unconscious prisoner to the caverns beyond , where the Nautolan Dark Jedi approached the Forge machine itself . Morr also summoned almost two dozen of his Flesh Raider Force Adept s to guard the path . With Tao ' Ven ' s information , T7 - O1 and the Padawan immediately contacted A - 4P0 , one of the protocol droids at the Temple Archives , and told the protocol droid to send all of the information on the Forge to T7 - O1 right away . While the droid complied , it reported that all of the Jedi Masters at the Jedi Temple were busy fighting the Flesh Raiders , and those Jedi thus would be unable to assist them . Using a different path than the one Morr had used to reach the Forge , the pair raced along the Elarian Trail and took a tunnel behind the Tythos River ' s waterfall to reach the ruins of the ancient city . Some of Morr ' s Flesh Raider soldiers had also learned to reprogram the ancient war droids that littered the area , and the Flesh Raiders used the droids as additional soldiers in their army . Despite the heavy presence of Flesh Raiders and war droids , T7 - O1 and the Padawan fought their way through the ruins , got past Keshk , and reached the caverns beyond . Before the Forge . Passing through a tunnel in the valley wall , the Padawan emerged in a canyon spanned by a rocky bridge . Fighting through almost two dozen Force - wielding Flesh Raiders , the apprentice approached the far end of the bridge , where the ancient machine stood . Just as the Forge came into view , the apprentice witnessed Morr grip Din with the Force and throw him against the stone steps , knocking the Jedi Master unconscious . Expressing his disdain for the fear he sensed in the Padawan , Morr promised the destruction of the Order . When the apprentice questioned Morr ' s hatred of the Jedi , the Nautolan scornfully explained how he had witnessed Din surrender to the Sith after the destruction of the Temple on Coruscant , and how he viewed the Order ' s actions as weakness . He believed that the Jedi needed to be sacrificed to strengthen the Force , and planned to rebuild a new Order from the ashes of the old . Morr then stepped away , drawing his yellow lightsaber and commanding his two Flesh Raider bodyguards to kill the Jedi . With the aid of T7 - O1 , Din ' s apprentice defeated the Flesh Raiders and began to duel the Nautolan . To the Dark Jedi ' s surprise , the Padawan was able to beat the more experienced Morr using a vibrosword , and forced the Nautolan to submit . Defeated , Morr claimed that he understood his destiny now : the reason that the Force had brought him to this moment was , through the trials of battle , to craft the Padawan into a weapon strong enough to destroy the Sith and redeem the Jedi Order from its weakness . Instead of being the one to engender this destruction , Morr would be the Padawan ' s herald . To that end , he asked the Jedi to allow him to leave and prepare the galaxy for the Padawan ' s rise . The younger apprentice refused , then punched Morr in the gut when the Dark Jedi reached for his saber . A second blow — an elbow strike to the back of the neck — sent the Nautolan to the ground , unconscious . The Jedi then woke Din , who congratulated the Padawan on the defeat of his former apprentice and the decision to spare Morr ' s life . Din gave his Padawan the components necessary to build a lightsaber and told the apprentice to craft a weapon in the Forge while Din himself took the unconscious Morr back to the Jedi Temple . Aftermath . A slumbering beast awakened . The apprentice ascended the steps and activated the ancient machine , entering a state of deep meditation . Using the Force , the Jedi combined each component with precision , assembling a lightsaber with a blue crystal and blade . The opening of the Forge awoke a jurgoran in one of the canyon ' s caves below , and the savage beast climbed the cliff to reach the narrow bridge that spanned the ravine . The jurgoran blocked T7 - O1 and the Padawan ' s path to the cave tunnel through which the pair had come , and the Jedi was forced to kill the beast with the new weapon to reach safety . With the loss of their leaders Morr and Keshk , who had died , the Flesh Raider army had begun to dissolve , allowing the apprentice and T7 - O1 to return to the Temple through the ruined city without much conflict . An uprising quelled . Upon returning to the Temple , the Padawan met with the Jedi High Council . Din was already briefing Grand Master Satele Shan and the other Masters of the recent occurrences , and upon learning that Matriach Tao ' Ven had surrendered herself to the Jedi for judgment , Shan asked the young Jedi how they should proceed . Din ' s apprentice believed that the Twi ' leks needed their support , and that the Jedi Order should remain allies with them against the weakened Flesh Raiders . Agreeing with his apprentice , Din then changed the subject . Because of the Padawan ' s bravery and exceptional skill in repelling the Flesh Raider invasion and defeating Morr , Din believed that the apprentice should be granted the rank of Jedi Knight — a decision that Shan supported . The Knight ' s first assignment was to go with Din to Coruscant and aid Master Bela Kiwiiks in her investigation of a dark presence that the Council had sensed there . T7 - O1 also requested that he be permanently assigned to the young Knight , something with which the Jedi agreed . Morr was taken back to the Temple , where he was rehabilitated by Jedi healer s and healed of his insanity . Behind the scenes . The battle appears in " " , a released by BioWare on December 20 , 2011 . It serves as the finale of the Jedi Knight character ' s storyline on the starting world of Tython , taking place over the course of two quests : " Dark Temptations " and " Weapon of the Jedi . " As the finale of the planet storyline , the two quests feature multiple situations in which the player may make moral choices that alter the character ' s alignment between the dark and light sides of the Force , and affect the outcome of events as well . When the villagers attempt to kill the Padawan , the player can choose to kill them , a course that grants dark side points ; ask them to leave for light side points ; or Force Persuade them to leave peacefully for maximum light side points . When Tao ' Ven asks for forgiveness , the player can refuse for dark side points , or forgive her for light side points . If the player chooses to forgive the Matriarch , she will ask what she can do to make things right , giving another set of alignment options : learn from her mistake ( light side ) , give up her post ( dark side ) , or nothing ( neutral ) . The Grand Chieftain Keshk can be found in the ruined city , and he stands in the center of the path leading toward the entrances to the Consular and Knight story phases . As a default environmental enemy that respawns , Keshk can be defeated by either Consular or Knight players , and it is also possible to sneak past Keshk without fighting him . After defeating Bengel Morr , the player has three options . For light side points , the player can choose to spare Morr and knock him out , and he will eventually appear on Corellia in the game ' s third act with other characters redeemed by the player . He also sends the player a holomessage that can be accessed on the player ' s starship , thanking him for saving him . There are two dark side options : the player can accept Morr ' s offer and allow him to leave , or choose to kill him for maximum dark side points . If the player accepts Morr ' s offer , the Nautolan will give the individual a green lightsaber crystal , and the player is presented with two options upon the activation of the Forge . Choosing to use the green crystal will result in a " Dark Jedi Lightsaber " being crafted , while choosing the normal option yields a standard blue lightsaber . If the player chooses to kill Morr , the green crystal is unavailable , and the player is forced to construct a blue lightsaber . All three options still result in the Jedi gaining a lightsaber . After constructing a lightsaber , a jurgoran will appear at the base of the steps . Defeating the jurgoran — called the " Forge Guardian " — is an optional bonus quest , but the player must either kill it or be defeated , at which point the player is forced to teleport back to the nearest medcenter , in the ruins of an ancient city . Since a story phase cannot be re - entered after completion , players are unable to defeat the Guardian if they choose to return to the medcenter . Players can also choose to simply Quick Travel back to the Temple , but as the " respawn at medcenter " and Quick Travel options are game mechanics , this article assumes that the Forge Guardian was defeated by the Knight character . As part of an April Fool ' s joke in 2011 , several cinematics from the game were released on " The Old Republic " website with vocalization in Shyriiwook , the language of the Wookiee species . One of the videos showed the events of the mission " Weapon of the Jedi , " in which players confront Bengel Morr , but the video showed Callef in Morr ' s place .
