ad theories, so spoilers :
so TITANS "Paradise" is in the realm of "ghosts"/afterlife and Elites like Six are ghosts/souls in 3D printed bodies. the "GATE" Elites r just normal ppl in 3D printed bodies that can be used as slaves longer (no aging/food/water)
They are the real scavengers harvesting universes/planets for ?something (all the sentient/human souls in the universe, maybe?) and they can only transfer stuff from in/out of Paradise with the stardust goop. but like instead of making a deal with the voracians WHO ARE THE ONLY RACE THAT NATURALLY MAKE THE GOOP they lobotomized voracians all and harvest the bodies. Tylo clearly didnt make a deal with them but her kids could probably be forced to but the entire race is killed b4 they r found , what a stupid call. (unless the voracians could fuck with Elites soul connections)
so TITAN followers are on the clock by thier own hand for what they can do in this universe, by a matter of months. Meanwhile in 1 generation Wrathias warriors will/have already influenced a new generation (from a worldbuilding perspectivw theres alot more pactmakers we dont see that arent as stupid evil as wrathia and pedri)
Titan/Six recognized Pacted Individuals bc their bodies cannot die /souls cant be severed. However , going after haunted ppl means scoring the souls of the "demons" and getting a new "follower" soul.
this time crunch for the Followers explain the narrative framing that what we are seeing is the past (the books and pictures) and is foreshadowing how Ava even stands a chance against Six as a "large movement" . She'll get Erios on her side somehow, who runs the planet that makes the majority of TITAN food and within a couple months the Elites logistics will be slowed so the avg citizen cant get food. Then a wave a rebellions will probably happen
