Background

Xanos Zorrixor and Muz Ashen Keibatsu had uncovered a wondrous artifact on a mission into wild space. Previously thought to have been absorbed by Revan, the Holocron of Tulak Hord was found by the Sadows. The pair received special dispensation to study the ancient artifact, provided that they created a new Holocron for the Brotherhood to use, an item generally referred to as the Lightsaber Combat Guide or the Sepros Holocron.

The Active Saber Combat Guide Holocron

The pair studied for months, practicing the techniques that the ancient blademaster proscribed for weeks on end, absorbing as much information as possible on all of the forms of combat before crafting the Holocron itself, a dark metal pyramid etched in ancient words. They encoded themselves as the Gatekeepers of the Dark Side Holocron, Muz and Xanos teaching the students about the various forms of combat, and a less easily found mad alchemist who extols the virtues of various crystals used in sabercraft.

The Holocron is often returned to the Herald for minor tweaking, the Gatekeepers sometimes overzealous in their demanding for their students to train harder, often resulting in severely wounded Acolytes.

Trivia
