mind flayers are being mind controlled by the absolute which is being controlled by three idiots
Partly correct but that's not the whole story. Massive spoilers, information you most likely couldn't find or know unless you play a very specific origin:
Honestly the plan was fine...but said plan wasn't hatched by Gortash, Orin, or Kethric. The architect of the entire plan to create and control the absolute was betrayed just as the plan was put into motion...that's the real reason it all went so wrong. The plan was highjacked by people who didn't understand it.
No that's quite alright. I just want to know if theres some attempt to give a reason to it, Im just glad it's not just a bunch of whipped up Evil Drama of Evil Villains with no real motivations or end goals.
