By the time of the Clone Wars, the Nightsisters of Dathomir-a clan of magick-wielding Dathomiri witches-were led by Mother Talzin, and her son Maul was trained as the Sith apprentice of the Dark Lord Darth Sidious, while the Dathomirian Asajj Ventress became an acolyte of the apprentice who replaced Maul, Dooku, leading the Separatists. The Dathomiri were renowned for their use of magick, an aspect of the Force which manipulated magical ichor, which was found on Dathomir. Tales of Peridea and its galaxy would go on to become nothing more than fairytales spoken among Jedi, and the map containing the Pathway to Peridea was long hidden in a stronghold on the planet Arcana. Later, when their kingdom collapsed, many of the Dathomiri traveled into the known galaxy across the intergalactic void, where they reestablished themselves on a new planet, Dathomir. On Peridea, the Dathomiri established a kingdom and learned to ride the purrgil, creatures able to survive in the vacuum of space and travel through hyperspace. Dathomirians, also known as Dathomirian Zabraks and culturally as Dathomiri, were a subspecies of Zabrak native to the planet Peridea in an unknown galaxy.
