I'm still unsure if there is a direct connection between the artifact and the Mind-Flayers. It doesn't seem like they were aware of what they took when they captured Shadowheart, otherwise why let her keep it. It's also unclear to me if the Gith are aware of the Absolute either.
Then there are the references to Netherese Shadow Magic throughout the game. I don't really know enough about it to see any lore foreshadowing going on, but I have learned on the forum that the Shadow Weave and Shar are connected, which might bring in the artifact considering it was the Sharrans who wanted to steal it from the Gith.
I guess what that leaves for this theory, has there ever been a connection between the Gith and the Netherese empire or Shar?
