- "Whatever Anil Kesh can imagine Vur Tepe can make real."
- ―A popular saying by members of the Je'daii Order.
Vur Tepe, remembered to history as simply the Forge, was an ancient temple erected in the Tythos Ridge on the edge of an active volcano of Tython by the Je'daii Order as a place to construct weapons. The Jedi Order, which evolved from the early Force traditions there eventually adopted the Forge and used it in the creation of their lightsabers.

History
Edit
Established in the pre-history of the Jedi Order, Vur Tepe was erected by the Je'daii Order as a place of solitude where the ancient Tythonese could construct or repair their weapons in peace. Placed atop a volcano which jutted out of the sea, the outer structure was a square pyramid the color of rusted metal. Four support walls jutted down the sides of the volcano and the bottom of the pyramid formed an interior dome that harnessed the heat from the caldera to power the temple and its forges.[2]
At the Temple, the Je'daii focused on practical applications; focusing on the ways in which the Force could be applied to create or improve physical things. The Temple enjoyed a good working relationship with neighboring Anil Kesh, the Temple of Science.[2] The technology in the temple enabled the early Force-users to imbue their katana with the Force and make the material extraordinarily strong and razor sharp.[1]
Eventually Tython was abandoned and the Forge was lost, with few records surviving in the Order's Archives on Coruscant. When the Great Galactic War between the Sith Empire and the Galactic Republic drove the Jedi back to their homeworld, scouts used the only information about the Forge's whereabouts to begin a ten month-long search for the ancient edifice. Upon discovering the crumble, vine-covered monument, the Jedi cleared the debris and began using the temple for the construction of lightsabers. Because of the treacherous journey to reach the spot, only the most hardy Padawans attempt the trek.[1]
Behind the scenesEdit
Although the Jedi Forge was first revealed in The New Essential Chronology, author Dan Wallace stated in 2005 that the concept was already developed for a future source yet to be revealed. [1]
