Point one: I'm on the opinion that Caly was meant to become a literal weapon once the box was done with her (likely that orb that Idriel showed in the Nexus during Orion's first login), but thanks to Orion and co's timely intervention they managed to prevent that from happening (the proof I'm going with is the Praetorian's words saying that Caly wasn't ready). But who knows? Maybe the box managed to scramble a few bits and pieces from Caly's memory that could be vital in uncovering the truth about Eternum? Only Cari knows at this point, and we'll have to wait for a later update to see if that's the case.I don't want to overthink overnight soo...
Dorfnutter I'm dropping some theories for you to overthink

Point two: I mean, considering that one of my crackpot theories is that the Founder is keeping Acheron closed so that the dead couldn't pass over to the afterlife and it would allow him to farm the gems because the dead seem to have a connection to them, I wouldn't be surprised if said process has also trapped the Lady Anima from crossing over into her race's respective afterlife. Could be that the Founder realized Anima's potential and used her to concoct the scheme of having millions of unwitting volunteers to collect the gems for him, hence the creation of the VR game "Eternum."
Point three: ...Hm. Could be. Though that doesn't exactly explain WHY the Founder or anyone on the throne would want to restart the cycle once they're there, much less go through the trouble of creating a darn VRMMO to manipulate millions of magitech-powered dreamers/astral projections to participate...unless of course the gems have a secondary use like providing a longer lifespan or keeping Acheron shut and thus keeping the dead from crossing over, but said gems have a finite one, so they have to be collected again and such. But I don't really subscribe to the idea that all of this mess is just one person's play for immortality when he could've just acquired it through other means (coughGrimoireofMagnuscough). Nah, there has to be more to this than just that.
