Quite the accumulation of adjectives. Let's not derail the thread by personal conflicts.

I initially assumed the box to be a device primarily connected to Shadowhearts origins story. Seeing the Shar Temple in the Underdark and all the possible connections makes me call that into question. It seems quite obvious now that the whole Shar/Githyanki plot is connected with the Absolute arc. Is the gith patrol looking for the artifact in service of Vlaakith or are they a rouge group allied with the

general?

Do we have a clear link between the arcs yet or just a collection of hints revolving around shadow magic?
I guess the dead three are looking for a no limits approach to godhood, Shar could not provide that. Maybe both are toying with involving some far realm entity in the affairs of Faerun?
An ulikely option:

The gith general seems to be aware of what is going on. Could he be guiding the group towards Moonrise because he could escape there? The option to hand the box to the gith does not mean that we won't meet him again if they are his followers. They do speak of the box as a weapon, but not in a grudging way

I sometimes use thought experiments. I don't necessarily believe in every idea I post for discussion on this forum
