Living in the past is a luxury none
of us can afford. We must learn from
it, but we cannot live there. It is
impossible to plan for the now
the present is ever fleeting. The
future is where we must live the
future is what we must plan for.
At the end of Glasslands Phillips enters the forerunner "crypt" on sanghelios and everything goes black shortly thereafter. This of course points to the possibility that his presence activated whatever forerunner artifact that 'telcam is using as headquarters. It's also a good possibility that 'telcam knew it would happen. 'telcam led him there and also said to jul earlier in the book that an area there was not meant for them to open. Its also stated that it could be a map of some kind and at the center of a panel symbols were laid out in horizontal rows with lines radiating from them to individual symbols around the edge of the cartouche. This panel is covered by a shield like matte glass which seemed to dissolve into the wall.
"the shield was placed there long before the San 'Shyuum arrived" and "the servants of the day said that touching the symbols produced strange effects" -pg 177
Could it be that this has some thing to do with shield worlds? A map perhaps? Maybe a shield world for every ring? That doesn't make 100 percent sense so I'd appreciate some idea or speculation or theories.
I'm a little over half way thru my second read of Glasslands and this is what I've got so far. (I didn't come to this conclusion my first read before I read primordium) i also think it's a possibility that phillips has a geas that caused him interest in the sanghelios planet and artifacts and culture. Again I'm just throwing an idea out there.
I'm sure I'm not the only to have npriced this since Glasslands came out so even finding a tread link about this would be cool. I just figured its the most relevant theory in Glasslands and It might deserve a discussion.
P.S. I'm on my iPhone and might have left you with some poor paragraph and sentence structure. I apologize in advance
