The Otherside were first mentioned in John Jackson Miller's 2009 eBook, Lost Tribe of the Sith: Skyborn. After taking control over Kesh, the Sith did away with the use of the terms "Otherside" and "Skyborn" in favor of earlier tales of the Destructors and Protectors, respectively. After harassment by other Keshiri, Vaal fled into the Cetajan Mountains, where she found a group of crash-landed Sith who claimed to be the Skyborn returned to Kesh. There, Neshtovar leader Izri Dazh accused her of glorifying the Otherside with her supposed heresy. That year, geologist Adari Vaal was brought before the Neshtovar to testify about the veracity of her controversial teachings of the formation of Kesh's landmass, which conflicted with the common Keshiri religion. Although faith in the Keshiri religion was prevalent, by 5000 BBY the Neshtovar still had not hammered down exactly who or what the Otherside were. Tradition held that in ages past, the uvak-riding Neshtovar brought the knowledge of the Otherside and the Great Battle to the masses from the Cetajan Mountains. Historyīy 5000 BBY, the worship of the Skyborn, and as a result, the hatred of the Otherside, was a dominant facet in Keshiri daily life. Among the uvak beast-riding ruling council known as the Neshtovar, falling from one's mount was to be claimed by the Otherside. As such, the Keshiri regarded it as the will of the Skyborn that they were to hate the Otherside. In the ages afterward, the Otherside were regarded as the source of all evil on the planet Kesh, and heresy against the Skyborn was said to be glorification of the Otherside. Drops of Skyborn blood fell onto the seas of Kesh, creating all of the planet's landmass. The Great Battle, as it was known, lasted for eons-although the Otherside wounded the Skyborn, their opponents won the battle. The Otherside, who came "from below," were said to be the nefarious enemies of the benevolent Skyborn, and their conflict eventually led to a calamitous battle in the stars above Kesh. The Otherside were a group of deities depicted in the mythology of the Keshiri religion, native to the planet Kesh. " Your words glorify the Otherside, Adari Vaal." ―Izri Dazh, to Adari Vaal
