Council of First Knowledge/Legends

"Understand, please, as Caretaker of the Temple of First Knowledge, my responsibilities include all of the old lore."

- Astraal Vilbum to Mace Windu

The Council of First Knowledge was one of the four Jedi Councils of the Jedi Order in operation during the rule of the Galactic Republic. The Council of First Knowledge met in the northwest tower of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant.

The purpose of the Council of First Knowledge was to advise Jedi on matters which required use of ancient Jedi lore. This Council was presumably linked to the Jedi Archives chamber, though the Tower of First Knowledge also contained a repository of ancient holocrons. The lore stored in this sacred chamber was maintained by Caretakers, of which there were known to have been fourteen in the history of the Order as of 30 BBY. Astaal Vilbum was the fourteenth Caretaker of First Knowledge.
