Prophecy of the Five

The Prophecy of the Five was a prophecy made through a Force vision by Jedi Master Krynda Draay in 3988 BBY. In it, she predicted that the next conflict with the dark side of the Force would have five key figures, ambiguously described by their allegiance, that were going to lose whatever thing was built between them. Young Raana Tey, a Togruta seer training under Krynda, eavesdropped while she was having the vision. Years later she would tell Zayne Carrick of the prophecy during their duel on Taris in the Jedi Tower, seemingly associating the Five to the Sith threat she and the other Masters of the First WatchCircle foretold in the Rogue Moon Prophecy, as well as their own Padawans, five who would see the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order collapse between them. Carrick retorted that it may have referred to "five traitorous evil Jedi Masters."

Both the Masters of the First WatchCircle and their Padawans were actually five, but Raana Tey, Q'Anilia, Xamar, Feln and Lucien Draay murdered their students. Zayne was Lucien's Padawan, and he escaped, resulting in his being framed for the deaths of his fellow students. Since he set out to expose the Jedi Covenant, the cabal to which they belonged, the Masters were removed from Taris and reassigned to different postings, Feln and Raana Tey died, and Xamar confessed to the Jedi Council before being killed himself by the Republic fleet. Krynda's aide Haazen then declared the prophecy to be fulfilled.

Haazen later revealed that he had been manipulating the prophecy for years. He then declared who the real figures in the prophecy were:

• Lucien was the one for the darkness. Despite being a Jedi master himself, he was being manipulated by Haazen and neglected by Krynda from his youth, slowly drowning himself in the Dark side. Misguided by his friends' prophecy and blinded by love for his mother, Lucien orchestrated the Padawan Massacre, which left Taris undefended against the Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders and escalated the war.
• Zayne Carrick was the one for the light. Being the ex-padawan of Lucien, Zayne led a series of escapades to clear his name. In the most recent turn of events, he pressured Haazen to carry out Vindication. Despite his efforts to redeem his fallen master and stopping Haazen's plot, this furthered the rift between the Jedi Order and the Revanchist, foreshadowing the civil war between the two factions.
• Q'Anilia was the one from the light who stands in the darkness. A Miraluka Jedi seer born without eyesight, she foresaw the death of Krynda Draay, which advocated Lucien's rush to action. She was driven into despair after believing her prophecy had been fulfilled and committed suicide.
• Gryph was the one from the darkness who stands in the light. A renowned criminal and con-artist, he was framed along with Zayne and the duo worked together to uncover the Covenant's secrets and prove their innocence. His exploits resulted in the deaths of four members of the First WatchCircle and fulfilled their last prophecy.
• Haazen was the one who stood apart from the rest. A Dark Jedi who gained Jedi authority and Sith artifacts via being the secret leader of the Jedi Covenant, he betrayed its original purpose and launched an insurrection that led to the Covenant's destruction and his own downfall.

The Jedi Covenant itself that Krynda and Haazen had spent decades to build collapsed, as each figure in the prophecy played a role that led to its dissolution.
