Never Hide Your Heart
Reference: https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/The_Gathering
The Gathering was a rite of passage of the Jedi Order meant as a lesson to teach Jedi Initiates how to overcome their personal fears or failings and to find a kyber crystal attuned to their Force presence in the Crystal Caves of Ilum. Once inside the labyrinth, the journey became more personalized to each individual youngling. This was a direct effect of the powerful vergence within the caves, which permeated the very stone and caused an intensification of the Force. The vergence exploited the deepest insecurities of those who entered, exposing an individual's weaknesses and shortcomings. If the test was completed successfully and the fears of the individual were overcome, a unique kyber crystal would appear to illuminate, glowing either blue or green or in some instances, another shade and would retain that hue from then on. Failure to overcome the test would result in an overwhelming sense of self-doubt and fear gripping the student, and potentially preventing them from ever finding a crystal.
Katarine will be leading an expedition to Ilum and overcoming some issues herself as she constructs a new lightsaber. I wanted to see if there was any interest in any other Jedi accompanying her?
