Duel in the Gnarls cave

During the Flesh Raider uprising on Tython, a duel occurred in a cave in the Tythonian Gnarls between the Dark Jedi apprentice Callef and an unknown Jedi apprentice. In an attempt to stop the Flesh Raider invasion of the Gnarls, the apprentice found Callef about to kill the Bith] apprentice Unaw Aharo, and dueled the Dark Jedi in an attempt to stop him. Despite the apprentice's disadvantage of wielding a vibrosword against Callef's lightsaber, the Jedi's remarkable combat skill resulted in Callef's death.

Prelude
During the Cold War between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire, the native Flesh Raiders of the planet Tython began to attack the Jedi Order and the Twi'lek pilgrims of Kalikori Village. Early in the uprising, the Flesh Raiders attacked the Order's base in the Tythonian Gnarls, near the Masters' Retreat.

The Jedi, led by Jedi Master Derrin Weller, fought off the Flesh Raider attacks, but Master Weller was injured in the fight. Weller had already sent a newly arrived apprentice out into the Gnarls to investigate reports of the Flesh Raiders using blaster technology, and Weller contacted the apprentice after he was injured. Having learned that the Flesh Raiders were entering the Gnarls through a cave network nearby, the Jedi Master ordered the apprentice&mdash;who was known to be exceptionally skilled in combat&mdash;to seal off the cavern at all costs.

The duel
Entering the cave, the apprentice was forced to fight their way through Flesh Raiders, and finally reached the end of one section of the cave. There, the apprentice found a wounded Bith apprentice by the name of Unaw Aharo being threatened by a human named Callef. The man, who wielded a lightsaber and called himself a "true Jedi", attacked the second apprentice when the Jedi stopped him from killing Aharo. Despite only wielding a vibrosword, the apprentice was able to defeat Callef, and the Dark Jedi was killed during the battle.

Aftermath
It was at this point that the Jedi Master Orgus Din arrived and saw Callef's defeat. Din thanked the apprentice for helping Aharo, and used the Force to bring down the cave's ceiling, blocking the path and stopping any more Flesh Raiders from entering the Gnarls. Din then took the wounded Aharo to safety, telling the other apprentice to come to the Jedi Temple.

When the apprentice met with the Jedi Council at the Temple, Master Din took on the Jedi as his Padawan&mdash;the first one he had taken since Bengel Morr, who had vanished after the Sacking of Coruscant. The discovery that Callef and his "master" were marshaling the Flesh Raiders sparked the Jedi Order to begin investigating, and the uprising finally ended when Din's new Padawan defeated their leader&mdash;who was revealed to be an insane Morr&mdash; and rescued Din at the Forge.

Behind the scenes
The duel in the Gnarls cave was created for Star Wars: The Old Republic, a massively multiplayer online role-playing game released by BioWare on December 20, 2011. The duel is one of the earliest quests in the storyline of the Jedi Knight character, and the event sets off the main storyline for the Knight on Tython. While there are dialogue choices with Callef that can gain alignment points, the duel will end with the Dark Jedi's death regardless of the player's choices.
