Jedi pilgrims were Jedi who, during their travels, discovered a powerful vergence located on the Outer Rim world of Lothal. Subsequently, they established a Jedi Temple at that location, integrating it with the pre-existing system of caverns. Once the temple's construction had finished, the Jedi came to understand that the vergence's primary purpose was to delve into the complexities of a Jedi's emotional connections and how these connections might influence their duties and positions within the Jedi Order.
