The Temple of Solace is an architectural masterpiece, carved into the stone of the valley and blending seamlessly with the natural environment. Its elegant design features smooth curves and arches, echoing the harmony of the Force. Towers rise modestly above the valley floor, their spires housing meditation chambers and observation decks. A crystal-clear stream runs through the heart of the temple grounds, fed by the waterfalls from Mount Solas, creating a soothing ambiance. Inside, the temple is minimalist yet elegant, with polished stone floors, soft lighting, and intricate carvings depicting Jedi history and philosophy.
- Sanctuary of the Force: A large circular chamber with a skylight at its center, allowing natural light to pour onto a mosaic of the Jedi symbol embedded in the floor. The sanctuary is used for group meditations and ceremonies.

The Temple of Solace was built during the High Republic Era as part of the Jedi Order's initiative to expand its presence to the Outer Rim. The site was chosen for its seclusion, natural beauty, and abundance of Sedesian kyber crystals, which were discovered by Jedi explorers. Constructed with the help of local artisans, the temple was designed to reflect the harmony between the Jedi and their environment.
During the Clone Wars, the temple served as a retreat for Jedi seeking to recover from the trauma of war. It remained largely untouched during the Great Jedi Purge due to its hidden location, though its records were partially destroyed by surviving Inquisitors. Rediscovered during the era of the New Jedi Order, it has since been restored to its former glory.
Today, the Temple of Solace functions as a place of learning and reflection, housing a small contingent of Jedi and serving as a beacon of hope for nearby worlds. While not a site of great strategic importance, its role as a spiritual sanctuary makes it a cherished part of the Jedi Order's legacy.
