Why does Horus consider Shadow critical in American Gods?












0















Just before the main battle, Horus asks Easter to save Shadow, but she refuses saying that the battle is the main priority at that time. Then, Horus says that if Shadow isn't saved, the whole battle won't mean anything.



Now, how does Horus know that Shadow is to critical to the future of the old gods? I can understand him having a general idea about his importance given that Wednesday gave him a lot of importance, but what could convince him that he was so critical that Easter should flow out before the great battle, and that the battle's result itself would become immaterial if Shadow died?
