   IF Lorien was the oldest living creature in the galaxy, then he   
   remembers when the shadows and vorlons were simple beings. the shadows   
   were supposed to be old. REAL old, So they must have been some of the   
   first creatures to evolve in the galaxy. was zhadum their original   
   homeworld? was it loriens? Lorien had them all beat, age wise. Did he   
   stand on the shadows homeworld untold billions of years ago, watching   
   the bugs that would evolve into the shadows scuttling instinctively   
   along, maybe the equivalent of dung hill beetles? No worse than saying   
   that human life evolved from primordial ooze. Did they find intelligent   
   cephalopods in an ancient ocean that would one day be the vorlons? So   
   many questions unanswered. In "thirdspace" it was intimated that many   
   vorlon "mistakes" still presented a danger to the younger races. What of   
   old shadow "mistakes" that went awry? Who knows what dangers lay hidden   
   in the galaxies nether reaches waiting for unwitting younger sentient   
   races to unleash? Lots and LOTS of fodder for stories. Thank you, JMS!
