So, just a few points:
1. There is actually a screenshot on one fextralife video where the guardian actually says "You will not become a mind flayer. Not while I'm around. I'll protect you". It looks like an early scene too
2. Someone definitely confirmed, though |I can't remember who, that the visions are now removed from tadpole use. I'll have a check if I can find it
3. People have datamined about the gith artefact, but I'd rather not post that stuff because none of it may even be relevant
4. A curious quote that actually *is* in Ea. If you speak with the dead illithid in the goblin camp and ask what the gith were after it says: "They want the ones from the ship, darkness and sun, barely contained". Very interesting, sounds like the Sharrans, but why sun? Or is there something else?
Theoretically the artifact may be Zariel, shes a good match for darkness and sun she also like manipulating mortals into becoming her weapons
