The series, "Revan Mythologies," took its title from the well-known Jedi, Revan (shown in the image). The Revan Mythologies comprised a collection of tales and legends as told by Jedi Master Ilia Orpin, who served as the gatekeeper for a Jedi holocron. These Mythologies, named in honor of the celebrated Jedi Revan, offered a detailed narrative of Jedi history, potentially tracing its origins back to Tython. The Rakata frequently appeared in these narratives, which recounted stories of Jedi heroes who encountered Rakatan artifacts and were faced with the choice of either destroying them or succumbing to their corrupting influence. Furthermore, the Mythologies depicted numerous temples and ruins on Tython, including those associated with both the ancient Je'daii and the Jedi Order.
Some scholars believed that Orpin's works were a modern adaptation of the Qel-Droma Epics, a comparable compilation of mythical stories concerning the Great Hyperspace War and the Great Sith War, designed to better educate Jedi younglings of that era. However, around 3951 BBY, Jedi historian Deesra Luur Jada argued that the motivations of Exar Kun and Ulic Qel-Droma for embracing the Sith Lords' path differed from those of Revan and Alek.
