Thats they way the current youngrer races referred to 'em. However, as
Lorien said, his people found & guided the Shadows and Vorlons when they
were young.
Lorien said, after all, that he was the remaining "first one". The others
having become ill and died, were injured and died, or passed beyond the rim.
The Shadows kept returning to Z'ha'dum to honor Lorien, because he was
there. Even though "no one had been down to see him before Sheridan's
plunge". And, when its made clear that the Shadows, Vorlons, and others will
be leaving the Galaxy, the first intelligible (to me anyway) thing the
Shadows say is (to Lorien) "will you be coming with us?".
