"You are unworthy, yet you are chosen. The Force weeps for your kind, Jedi.
And it sees you."
― Eye of the Webbish Bog
The Burning Truth is a prophecy that captures the pivotal moment in Jedi Master Romi Jade's journey during her investigation on Vixoseph I. Experiencing a breach in the Force and at her lowest point, she encountered the enigmatic Eye of the Webbish Bog, which revealed a divine Force vision known as the Burning Truth. Through this revelation, the Force tasked her with reigniting the Jedi Order by confronting corruption, tradition, and decay while warning of the dangers of unchecked zeal. The holocron recording serves as both a prophetic guide and a cautionary tale for Jedi seeking to balance renewal with preservation of the Order's spirit.

Event Name: The Burning Truth on Vixoseph I
- Links: The Burning Truth: An Audiodrama
- Participants:
- Jedi Master Romi Jade (participant and recipient of the vision).
- The Eye of the Webbish Bog (entity acting as gatekeeper and harbinger of the vision).
Overview:
The event chronicles Romi Jade's (under the alias of Mother Askani) investigation into the blight and its connection to the Nameless on Vixoseph I, hoping to glean information on her breach in the Force. On this desolate world, she encountered the Eye of the Webbish Bog, a mysterious creature with ties to the Force's darker truths. The Eye subjected her to a powerful vision—the Burning Truth—in which the Force itself called upon her to restore the Jedi Order and confront the galaxy's fractures.
The revelation outlined Eleven Pillars of Fracture, key threats that endangered the Jedi, the Galactic Alliance, and the galaxy at large. These included corruption, schisms, and the growing Sith presence. The vision's dual purpose was to inspire Romi Jade to lead the Jedi's renewal while warning against the destructive potential of unchecked zealotry.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
This holocron recording was created shortly after Romi Jade returned from Vixoseph I, though the details of its creation remain shrouded in mystery. Scholars believe Romi recorded the Burning Truth to ensure the vision's preservation, fearing the Jedi Order's decline would otherwise lead to its loss.
The recording reflects the era's turmoil, when the Jedi Order struggled with internal schisms, external threats, and a growing detachment from the galaxy they served. The vision provided both a critique of the Order's failings and a roadmap for its renewal, though her warnings went largely unheeded during her time.
The holocron recording's message resonated with a new generation of Jedi seeking to rebuild the Order after the fall of the Galactic Alliance. Today, it is regarded and respected as a reminder that the Force's will often manifests in moments of personal and galactic crisis.
