My rewatches have made me fascinated with the triluminary and chrysalis and where they came from, so this is something that I've thought about quite a bit. Because they never do tell us who created the Great Machine, and the triluminaries and chrysalises came from that planet. That is the entitled-fan-wants-to-know question that I NEED JMS to answer some day.

Oh hah. R has a huge theory about this, (the Great Machine and the triluminaries) and periodically pesters me to write it up for him. I can never quite grasp his intricate explanation for the triluminary's travels through time, and how many there are are at which time. Sigh. You suppose JMS touches on it in all those posts-from-years-gone-by in the new books?

Ooooh, I am going to start pestering you to write it up now, cause I want to know what he's thinking! He could maybe do an outline or timeline for you, and you could use that to ground you when writing it.

I have never seen anything about it anywhere, and I'm not buying those new books. Hopefully if somebody knows the answer, they'll tell somewhere, but I have specifically searched for this and come up short.
