Ok. So, if I'm understanding the theory correctly, the Gith box contains/has imprisoned the dream lover who still can influence things outside the box. S/he is triggered if you use illithid powers because s/he is attempting to help you control them - trying to use you for their own purposes and trying to turn you into a powerful weapon against his/her enemies, using the tadpole powers against those who gave them to you. The Absolute is threatened by it because s/he can actually help True Souls control their powers and rebel against the Absolute.

Hmmm. Maybe.

Here's another thought then. What if the entity in the box is Bhaal? Now wouldn't that be a twist? Bhaal was a man-whore who went around sleeping with lots of people. I'm sure he wouldn't bat an eye to use a Dream Lover persona to try to tempt someone. The Dream Lover has Baldur's Gate in mind for conquest and wants you to be a powerful weapon of mass destruction.

And if the Absolute has somehow stolen the Dead Three portfolios - using their symbol - Bhaal would certainly hate the Absolute and want to get his godhood back.

This would also explain why the box is SO vital to Larian's story.
