Title: Post Battle Ground Starborn discussion (Spoilers)

This is what we learned in Battle Ground

1) There are quite a few starborn running around confirmed

• Drakul
• Listens
• Harry

2) Drakul wanted Harry for the "stars and stones."
3) Harry was deliberately bred, and the Senior Council (at least some of them) know why
4) Peace Talks: Starborn have power over Outsiders
5)Morgan microfiction: Starborn can become "Destroyers". Let's assume this is Drakul


So, speculation time!

My two cents: I'm thinking that there are only a few options.

1) A Highlander situation, where there can be only one. Jim lurvs his tropes. That one gets "the prize."
2) There's something only a starborn can do that's critical to reality. Maybe the starborn are required to renew reality via the "stars and stones".

So what's a Destroyer? Is it something that opens the Outer Gates? Or are Starborn something like a backdoor into reality, and they either hold the gates or let in Outside? That might explain Drakul. He's now full of Outsider in a Starborn skin suit. Maybe Kukulcan as well.

[/spoilers]

Let the wild imaginings commence!

Minor note, it's Listen, not Listens.  Listens is the short hand for Listens-to-Wind.

I think there was a WOJ that said the gate keeper was as well
