[[Hessi]] posits in ''[[Mythica]]'' that it may have been somehow involved in the [[scouring of Aimia]], although she's unsure of the specifics.{{epigraph ref|sa3|113}} She also expresses uncertainty that it's a member of the Unmade at all. However, it does seem likely that Dai-gonarthis is truly the final Unmade, as in one of the [[Death Rattle|death rattles]] collected by King [[Taravangian]]'s [[Silent Gatherer]]s, a dying woman mentions the name Dai-gonarthis in a manner similar to a death rattle about [[Re-Shephir]], a confirmed Unmade.{{epigraph ref|sa1|67}} |
