It's said that the nine were the last of the vernals, but I'm a but curious as to WHY they say that they were the last. Did they have a list to check of? Were they attuned to one another in a particular way? Or is it merely based on an assumption?
Because I can't help but think that, theoretically, could it be Menestre hid herself among the Czigany as the Iron Lady? Could there be others like Vestara who existed in a very faded state? Could there be Vernals hiding or trapped on aetherbubbles? Or is this just aimless impossible speculation?
Everyone is a genius. But if you judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.

And while the point of Vernals may have been to fight the soulless, they also didn't exactly completely lose their sense of self-preservation. Tzaraziko fled when she lost her hand in a failed trap after all. And Cankermore has proof that the Vernals managed to reach the aetherbubbles. I'm thinking that there really is potential for there to still be Vernals around somewhere.
