When asked about the absolute he revealed a vision of curved drow blades, gnolls, goblins with torches and mindflayers standing in a circle. Absolute unity, Absolute power. He also showed a vision of darkness spreading in what was likely the underdark and a fleet of nautiloids darkening the sky
1. So the true souls are unaware that they have tadpoles, yet this vision suggests that mindlayers are working together than the other Absolute followers. Why are people on the ship aware that they were infected with tadpoles, but the true souls unaware?
2 .Are the true soul tadpoles also modified by Netherese magic, or is it only the tadpoles of the ship survivors?
3, There are "absolute" items that will only work if you have been branded with the mark of the absolute. what's the relationship between this and the tadpole?
