I don't know all that has (will? Getting tenses right when we're dealing with flashbacks is a bit of a pain) transpired by the time we get to the 'present' of the story, but at least Tacchotan can take some comfort from the fact that Bagatur won't die.
It does raise some questions: did the Whisperer slip away of his own will, or was he cast out? And did he get the scars on his face when Tacchotan's nightmare vision nearly came true?
