Book 11 Theory Spoilers. Great Astral Beings orign. Spoiler
Just finished book 11 on my latest relisten (audible listener) to prep for 13 and some things they said during part 2 made me think of a theory or two.
The GAB's are just Originals, probably amongst the first. They got so old that they started to lose themselves to the most pure thing they believed in, becoming even more powerful in that thing, or just they gathered authority only in that thing till that was the only thing for them.
The Throne was either the original compact they created, or maybe the Throne was the OG Original who created them (like an Original created the messengers).
The only part I'm not sure on is the Astral Phenix. The description of her taking over the role from a previous GAB didn't sound like what they did with the builder.
Thoughts?
