reason for the blast was unknown, a number of Neshtovari joined a large throng of Keshiri surrounding Vaal's home, suspecting that Vaal's supposed heresy had invoked the wrath of the Skyborn. Feeling unsafe, Vaal fled into the mountains on the back of Nink, evading Neshtovar pursuit. In the mountains, Vaal stumbled across the source of the explosion—a crashed Sith starship, whose surviving crew had taken up a makeshift camp near the site. The Sith captured Vaal, and their captain, Yaru Korsin, convinced her to bring them to civilization. Vaal promptly flew out of the Cetajan Mountains and attracted Neshtovari patrols in the area, who followed her into the wilderness only to find a group of 240 Sith armed with lightsabers. Once delivered from their predicament by a seriesof Neshtovari rescue operations taking place over three days, the Sith posed as the Skyborn gods, returned to Kesh. The Neshtovar bought the Sith charade, with High Councilor Dazh personally being convinced by Korsin using his telekineticpowers to levitate the aged Keshiri. Dazh led every Neshtovar in the region in publicly welcoming the "Skyborn" to Kesh in a massive celebration in the Circle Eternal. As a sign of tribute to their gods, the Neshtovar moved out of their fine homes, ceding them to the supposed Skyborn.[1]
