HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Romi Jade has always been somewhat of an anomaly when it came to the Jedi Path. Between 830-840s ABY, In her youth, Padawanship to Knighthood, Romi chose the unorthodox in every approach to her training -- this stuck with her well into Mastership when she began to take on apprentices of her own. She went on to open her own Enclave on Jakku that adopted similar practices and used a harsh environment to instruct students in the ways of the Jedi. These practices were still in place when she moved to be Headmaster of the Ossus Jedi Praxeum. Her methodology has always been to provide students with what she believed they needed to start and maintain a Jedi career with longevity in a Galaxy engulfed in constant war.
Much of that saw her start to document experiences, observations, theories, and ideas along the way. Written form was the primary choice, hoping that later these notes could be read and recorded into her own personal Holocron or printed one day. She started to author this journal when the Jakku Enclave officially opened, and had been adding additional pages since. These pages -- in no particular order -- were a mixture of recollections, commentary on the state of the Galaxy then, and details on new functions and abilities that she'd come to discover in the Force, and her philosophy on Jedi-ship.
When the Jakku Enclave was raided and destroyed, her initial copy had been lost; she re-wrote a second. This particular copy was printed into the version's first edition, and was circulated amongst the Jakku Jedi Academy. Eventually, versions that were previously owned and well annotated by their various owners and filled with memorabilia from over the years, were then passed down to be used to teach the next generations.
