Talk about creatures that just give a lot of information in this world.

The fate herder is a large silver feline like creature that is much more legend than reality.

Those who have seen it are often considered crazy or delusional, boasting stories about the beast and nudging them to make different decisions than they would have originally intended.

We know better.

this creature did show up in when the moon hatched when rave was in the botanic plains and the tribe took that to mean that rave's offspring would tether the moons to the sky ha ha khazari is that you however it grows less and less solid as its intended outcome becomes more and more likely

As we discussed in that episode, it's interesting that the fate herder brings Rave to the Jakul clan village.

And it's just assumed that it's the offspring prophecy and that's why she's here.

But Rave had a feeling that it was for some other reason.

And then when Khan showed up and made Rave his greater, meaning she now has power over this tribe, the fate herder is no longer seen.

Yeah!

Now there's a few other creatures that are introduced very early in When the Moon Hatched that we theorized about and we would not be fantasy fangirls if we didn't bring them up.

First and foremost, the waif, a rare, lanky, fog-like creature that haunts drapes of mist where they nibble on souls in exchange for messages from the dead.

OK, hold on.

Oh, my God.

I'm I'm convinced that this is going to be really important in Ballad.

Two reasons.

One, we meet this character very early on, literally in chapter one, and then it's never mentioned again.

Mist, though, is mentioned again, and it's in Khan's fucking jar of mist in his bedroom where literally he says, I don't want you looking at my jars of mist.

And he like shoves it in the drawer, right?

Yes.
