In ancient times, the native Keshiri from the village of Tahv regarded the Circle Eternal as a sacred place since it was built over a series of catacombs. Following the Great Calamity which occurred after the Hundred-Year Darkness, the Jedi ancestors of the Doomed hid their last remaining starship Last Hope within the Keshiri catacombs beneath the Circle Eternal. By 5000 BBY, it served as the gathering place for the Neshtovar council and was used for public meetings and trials. The Keshiri geologist Adari Vaal was tried for heresy there.
