Dawn Heralds were members of a Killik hive, fulfilling a dual role as both combatants and diplomats. Their duty was to engage with anything unfamiliar. Furthermore, they had the responsibility of speaking the required words during the time of renewal.
During the period of the Cold War, Vector Hyllus underwent transformation into a Joiner, subsequently becoming the Dawn Herald for the Killik hive located on Oroboro. His role as a herald distinguished him from standard Joiners, allowing him to maintain a degree of personal identity.
The Chrysalis of Tranquility, a ceremony employed to fortify the Dawn Herald and deepen their connection with the cosmos, is also an option for them.
