The Absolute

The Absolute was the power behind the Cult of the Absolute. It was unknown if the Absolute was a being, or some sort of mental proxy. "I'm chosen by the Absolute, I am. I'm blessed."

Description
Many claimed that the Absolute was a deity, with many professing themselves acolytes and clerics of it.

The Absolute was represented by the symbols of the Dead Three.

History
In the late-15 century DR, many tribes began to swear allegiance to the Absolute, and other creatures became united and rallied to the cause. Volothamp Geddarm had heard about this and sought out any who made contact with the zealots of the Absolute. He claimed to have interrogated a goblin captive, who told him that they had forsaken Maglubiyet "in favor of someone called 'The Absolute'." Volo noticed that, since their loyalty was now with the Absolute, they had become "informed by a kind of strategy anathema to their kind." The well-known storyteller intended to get to the bottom of the matter.

The Absolute had interest in finding a "weapon", specifically, a githyanki artefact that Shadowheart (a follower of Shar) obtained through a suicidal mission. The Absolute appeared to be guiding a set of leaders of the Cult of the Absolute: Minthara, Dror Ragzlin, and Gut.
