Stav Kesh

Stav Kesh, or the Temple of Martial Arts was one of nine temples of the Je'daii Order located on the verdant world of Tython. A large stone structure, the temple at Stav Kesh was built into the side of a snowy mountain ridge and served as the Order's academy for study in the Force through the martial arts.

History
When the philosophers and scholars from across the galaxy first arrived on Tython, 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 the Tho Yor touched down in the snowy peaks of one of Tython's mountain ranges and the early members of the Je'daii Order built a temple of stone oon the slopes above, erecting strong retaining walls and towers above it. Here, martial arts forms were created and perfected, including the intensely personal and private Alchaka forms. The Je'daii Temple Master, the Je'daii who served as steward of the facility and oversaw its functions, ensured that all students practiced the forms correctly and met the standards set by the Order. In 25,793 BBY Master Lha-Mi, a Dai Bendu, was the Temple's overseer, assisted by a Noghri, Master Tave.
