Eriha Eyan

Incomplete article!

This article will contain spoilers (although with some changes...) from the Jedi Consular storyline on SWTOR, as well from the expansions Rise of the Hutt Cartel, Shadow of Revan, Rise of the Emperor and Knights of the Fallen Empire. Sorry for any grammar mistakes.

From now, the spoilers are only from the beginning, but soon I'll add the rest. "'As Jedi, we look past momentary chaos and strive for the ideal. In this case, galactic harmony.'""—Eriha Eyan to her Padawan Nadia Grell."Eriha Eyan was a Twi'lek Jedi Master who fought during the times of the Old Republic era, acting as a diplomat and negotiator. A well known healer, she was the last known Barsen'thor and a famous member of the Jedi Council.

Early Life
First daughter of the teachers Guzerre Eyan and Seela Kairn, Imperial troops attacked their village on Ryloth, looking for new slaves. Seela, who was a slave in her youth, plotted a successful way to escape from them and, soon, the family left Ryloth for Saleucami.

On Saleucami, a Jedi discovered the family and their little kid, who was Force-sensitive, and took her to Coruscant, though very soon the little one was sent to a Jedi Enclave on the planet Corellia.

After the Jedi took Eriha, the Eyans had two more kids, Gida and Silais.

Padawan
"'No. Yuon, you can't risk a Padawan against Flesh Raiders, even for such important artifacts.'""'A Padawan who was stronger in the Force at four years old, than I was at fifteen? Gifted students need greater challenges.'""—Syo Bakarn and Yuon Par."As a teen, Eriha already showed great skills and connection to the Force. Soon, her instructors on Corellia sent her to the Jedi homeworld of Tython to complete her Jedi training as a Padawan.

On Tython, she was assigned to the Jedi Master Yuon Par, who sent her new apprentice on a dangerous mission to retrieve four important holograms before the natives Flesh Raiders could destroy them.

One by one, Eriha retrieved the first three the holograms, defeating any Flesh Raider in her path; the fourth hologram, however, was already stolen and everything Eriha could do was reporting it at the Jedi Temple. Finally in the Temple, Eriha began her training with her new Master. Soon, however, Par sent Eriha on a new mission to Kalikori Village, an illegal settlement of Twi'leks near the Temple, in order to discover any clue about the thief. Though the Twi'leks weren't open to Eriha at the beginning, the fact that she was also a Twi'lek helped her and, eventually, the captain of the village guard, Bashenn, explained her that their champion Nalen Raloch found a holoprojector, and that he was in the Flesh Raiders' territory. Thanking the captain, Eriha went alone into danger, looking for Nalen.

Inside a cave deep into the Flesh Raiders' territory, Eriha found the missing hologram, as well as Raloch, a young man whom the Padawan felt immediately attracted. Without showing any interest in her, Raloch explained that he stole the holorecording to protect his people, then proceed to collapse the cave, hoping to kill the Padawan. Eriha, however, escaped and returned to the Temple.

The Fount of Rajivari
"'After Rajivari fell, sources claimed he created a great archive of his knowledge and teachings. The Fount of Rajivari. Generations of Jedi searched for it, finding nothing. The Fount's considered a hoax by all reputable scholars, but... we just heard proof.'""—Yuon Par."The recovered hologram belonged to one of the founders of the Order, Rajivari, who was also the first one to fall into the Dark Side. The hologram clearly taught dark techniques to Raloch, but at least it was safe in the Temple. After seeing the hologram, Yuon Par deduced Rajivari talked about a "first blade" and such blade should be hidden somewhere in the ruins of the ancient fortress of Kaleth. During the next years, Master and Padawan studied those ruins, whithout success.

Years later, Eriha finally found "the first blade", well protected by an anciend droid who made her pass a trial before giving her the blade. While completing those trials, Eriha spotted Nalen and, ignoring the feelings she still had, tried to help him. Nalen didn't listed and Eriha went back to her Master.
