The journals of the Promised Land documented discoveries made by specific Outcasts residing in the Undercity of the Ecumenopolis world of Taris. These individuals were in pursuit of the Promised Land, a paradise almost legendary in nature, thought to be situated on Taris. Each journal held diverse, documented hints regarding the whereabouts of this legendary haven.
In the year 3956 BBY, an Outcast known as Rukil was on a quest to recover the journal belonging to his apprentice, Malya, the journal of his father, and the journal of his grandfather. To assist in his search for these journals and pinpoint the location of the Promised Land, Rukil enlisted the help of Revan, the amnesiac former Sith Lord.
