Nightsister lair

The lair was a stone building built into the side of a mountain. The village inside was a group of scattered stone structures. Pools inside were filled with water vital to Nightsister rituals.

After Asajj Ventress survived Dooku's assassination attempt on her at Sullust, she returned to Dathomir and landed outside of the fortress. She was then taken to the village and received treatment from Mother Talzin and her Nightsisters and launched an assassination attempt against the Count.

Shortly after this, Dooku arrived at the village to accept Talzin's offer of a new apprentice. However, Talzin used the offer to actually plan to kill Dooku. Ventress then left to find a worthy Nightbrother to be her tool. Ventress then returned with Savage Opress, who was transformed into a monstrous warrior. The other Nightsisters then brought in his brother, Feral, and ordered Opress to kill him. Opress ruthlessly obliged and was consequently taken to Dooku.

Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker then came to the fortress, where Talzin revealed the name and the location of the Nightbrother they sought. Following the Jedi's meeting, Opress returned to the village, where Talzin healed him and sent him on a quest to find his brother Maul.

Ventress then returned and was baptized and inducted into the Nightsisters. However, Dooku and Sidious then sent General Grievous to wipe out the Nightsisters. At first, Ventress, the Nightsisters, and Old Daka's Army of the Dead, were able to hold out against Grievous's army of battle droids. Talzin, in a Hidden Cave, then used her magick to torture Dooku, threatening to kill him if he did not stop the attack. Grievous, following the green mist, then stopped Daka's and Talzin's magic. Though the Nightsisters were destroyed and their fortress was in ruins, Talzin and Ventress survived.

Talzin remained in the ruined village and monitored Opress's progress in his quest using her magicks. He returned with Maul not long after and Talzin led the two brothers to the altar, where she used her magick and parts of super battle droids to repair Maul's broken mind and body. Talzin vanished afterward

A few months before the end of the war Asajj Ventress brought Quinlan Vos to Dathomir to teach him the ways of the dark side, believing it would help him in their mission to assassinate Dooku. She led the Jedi Master into the decrepit village during a training duel, then tasked him with killing the Sleeper creature that resided in the waters of the village. Vos was able to do so with some difficulty. Their mission failed, and Ventress ultimately sacrificed herself to save Vos. Her body was returned to the waters of the village where she was baptized and was greeted by the voices of her dead sisters.

Following the establishment of the Galactic Empire, Maul had taken residence in the Nightsisters' former lair, where he amassed an entire collection of memorabilia from his time during the Clone Wars including the Darksaber and a portrait of the Duchess Satine Kryze. Maul ultimately sought to discover the location of his old nemesis Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi by recovering the last fragments of the holocron's visions from Bridger's mind. Maul brought Bridger into his lair after the latter agreed to travel with him to Dathomir to protect the location of Chopper Base.

When Bridger noticed the Darksaber, Maul reprimanded him for touching it and told him that his Mandalorian friend Sabine Wren could better explain the artifact's history. In a ritual to complete their shared vision, Maul and Bridger drank a magick potion that caused their eyes to turn bright green and shoot beams of light into a cloud. As a result, Maul learned that Kenobi was hiding on a planet with twin suns. Bridger learned that Kenobi held the key to destroying the Sith. Following the ritual, the spirits of fallen Nightsisters emerged to demand that the two pay the price of flesh and blood.

Maul and Bridger attempted to flee, but Kanan Jarrus and Wren then entered the cave, having tracked Bridger's wrist comm. Following a gunfight, the spirits possessed Jarrus and Wren's bodies. The possessed Jarrus and Wren then proceeded to attacked Maul and Bridger. However, they managed to reach the cave's entrance. Since the altar was the source of their power, the spirits were unable to leave the cave. Having accomplished his objective, Maul then made preparations to leave on his ship Nightbrother and offered to take Bridger as his Sith apprentice. However, he refused to abandon his friends and the two parted company.

Bridger returned to the cave to exorcise his friends. He encountered Wren and managed to exorcise her by pushing her outside, causing the spirit to leave her. Bridger then found Jarrus sitting on top of the altar. He then offered to trade his body in return for the Nightsister spirits releasing his master's body. The spirits agreed on the condition that Bridger best Jarrus in combat. After defeating Jarrus, the spirits released him. Bridger then used the Darksaber and his green lightsaber to destroy the altar; vanishing the spirits. Later, Bridger told Jarrus and Wren that Kenobi held the key to destroying the Sith. After resolving to stop Maul from killing Kenobi, Wren took the Darksaber.
