In a trinary star system (see here), life somehow migrated from Tammuz, a now dead planet of the red giant, Anu, to Ishtar, an inhabited terrestroid planet of the Sol-like Bel, but using opposite amino acids and sugars.
Maybe:
a Tammuzian colony failed;
Tammuzians colonized Ishtar but then discovered FTL and left the system;
Tammuzian explorers left microbes;
Tammuzians seeded Ishtar;
Tammuzian spores crossed on meteoroids.
In any case, only microscopic T-life survived but it evolved new multicellular species that cannot interact biologically with Ishtarian life. T-life on Ishtar has evolved in the north of a single continent, possibly originally a separate island. Thus, Ishtar has two intelligent species but the T-life intelligences also evolved on Ishtar. Native Ishtarians rarely see the T-intelligences and have no communication with them until Arnanak, a barbarian war-leader, makes an alliance with the uncanny, petal-headed "dauri."
