In the Keshiri religion, the Otherside were the enemies of the Keshiri gods, the Skyborn. Said to have come "from below," the Otherside engaged in a Great Battle with the Skyborn in the stars above the planet Kesh in ancient times. The Otherside were defeated in the clash, but not before they wounded the Skyborn—injured, the Skyborn spilled blood onto Kesh's oceans, creating all of the world's landmass. The legend of the Otherside continued to be told on Kesh for ages, and members of the Keshiri species were always warned to hate the Otherside. Along with the Skyborn, the Otherside were eliminated from Keshiri mythology after the arrival on Kesh of a group of crash-landed Sith in 5000 BBY, who did away with those stories in favor of earlier tales of the Protectors and the Destructors.
