The First Stoats
Bennett says the First Stoats have been there as long as the stoats have had Last Bastion. BE E4·01:51:26
Talia says that all of Last Bast reports to the First Stoats, who found Last Bast, harnessed the Light and made a space for the stoats there. BE E5·00:30:56 BE E5·00:31:01 Sybil says they told the stoats they drove the humans off but that the humans would come back. BE E5·02:15:24 Four of them are the Director Kiran, the Pope Uri, the Silence and the Speaker Jomei. BE E7·00:20:41 BE E7·00:21:38 BE E7·00:31:14 BE E7·00:42:47
In the pit chamber they enter with Sybil, and Kiran dies to Thorn, Jaysohn kills the Silence, Jaysohn tears out the Pope's throat, and Tula deals lethal damage and tears out Speaker's throat. BE E7·00:19:09 BE E7·00:56:16 BE E7·01:25:44 BE E7·01:24:09 BE E7·01:31:42 Speaker's last words are "She'll be back." BE E7·01:32:15 Tula later says "As Speaker was dying, they spoke it to Thorn." BE E8·01:36:09 Tula tells Bennett the First Stoats are dead because they cornered the family in a dark room and threatened violence. BE E8·00:27:52 Bennett says the section heads' findings were not passed down when run up the flagpole to the First Stoats. BE E8·01:29:08 The family's theory that they made the Blue is voiced by Ava. BE E8·01:37:27
Their logs name them as Kiran, Jomei, Hester (the Silence) and Uri, with a lost Fifth, Phoebe. BE E9·00:50:37 BE E9·00:51:47 BE E9·00:55:45 BE E9·01:01:52 Silence's journal says the five survived the first leak, kept the humans' meltdown from being fixed and chased the last human into a closet. BE E9·00:55:45 The Pope's notes call the Light a gift they did not cause but claimed, made into a religion with a temple named after Phoebe. BE E9·01:01:52
