So I know that it’s commonly believed to be cannon that the cycle is a time loop and/or transfer of consciousness into an alternate universe. Basically appearing as it does in the game mechanics.
However this idea has some flaws and oversights that lead to some massive plot holes…
The previously stated mechanics would only allow a single individual to know about the existence of the cycle in any given instance. Why would this be the case? Well, in this circumstance whenever you experience the cycle it would create a spit in the timeline aka an alternate universe. In one reality you’re dead, plan and simple, no one will ever see you again. In the other you’re still alive, perhaps you had a weird dream where you died multiple times but otherwise your seemingly fine.
Now so far it appears that this could actually work. However this split in the timeline would be a copy of your old reality – not one that already existed. You would be alone in your knowledge of the cycle. This doesn't line up with anything mentioned in the lore pearls, the cycle is something that’s universally known about. Something isn’t lining up here…
So I have an alternative that I’d like to present, an alternative that aside from it not 100% aligning with the game mechanics, has very few plot holes…
What if the cycle is a reincarnation cycle? There’s nothing in the pearls that would completely debunk this idea to my knowledge, and it would be a good explanation for several aspects of the lore.
It could serve as an in universe explanation on how the ancients got their name. What if they retain their memories from their past lives even after entire eras worth of generations has passed? It would certain explain why they’re so desperate to ascend if they’ve been stuck in one continued line of existence for centuries upon centuries. Just think about how repetitive and tiring it must be to have to go through the cycle of life and death over and over and over and over and over and over and… I think a lot of people would get tired of it at some point.
It would also explain how the ancients achieved such an impressive level of technological advancement. Whenever you die you would just come back in a new body to be able to pick up your work right back where you left it. All of their world’s greatest creative minds would still be around and able to continue their work for as long as they cared about it.
So in conclusion… I’m not trying to impede on anyone here, don’t get me wrong. But I would like to bring up this alternative to the table as it has a lot of potential.
