Sacred Bats
creatureA breed of giant bats with bristly gray-white fur. They are large enough to be saddled and used as flying mounts, common among the Jai clan and their affiliates.
The Sacred Bats of Cradle first appear in Blackflame as the Jai clan's aerial cavalry—massive, bristly-furred mounts that give the clan unmatched mobility across the Blackflame Empire. Though their role is largely logistical in book 3, their presence underscores the Jai's military reach and foreshadows how sacred-beast partnerships will become decisive in later conflicts. As the series progresses, these creatures evolve from mere transport into symbols of clan power, their utility expanding as new riders and sacred-arts techniques are introduced.
