*The way that the speech of the Ancients is written down, with double "+" signs and capital letters is similar to how the [[Leviathan (creature)|Leviathan]] spoke with [[Aurash]], [[Xi Ro]] and [[Sathona]] in the [[Books of Sorrow]]. This could indicate some connection between the two. | *The way that the speech of the Ancients is written down, with double "+" signs and capital letters is similar to how the [[Leviathan (creature)|Leviathan]] spoke with [[Aurash]], [[Xi Ro]] and [[Sathona]] in the [[Books of Sorrow]].

**It is worth noting that the Leviathan’s dialogue normally had double “-“ signs (which the Ancients’ dialogue did not use) at one end of a sentence, and two “+” signs at the other end; however, when it wanted to add emphasis to a statement, the signs would match on both ends. The Leviathan described this as a “monopole scream”. | **It is worth noting that the Leviathan’s dialogue normally had double “-“ signs (which the Ancients’ dialogue did not use) at one end of a sentence, and two “+” signs at the other end; however, when it wanted to add emphasis to a statement, the signs would match on both ends.

**While the Nine are all singular consciousnesses centered around eight planets and the Sun, it is possible that there could have been a tenth member: the mass of the asteroid belt that was broken up before it could form into a fifth terrestrial planet. When the Queen asks their identity, they chastise her for believing they are a singular speaker and note it is 'ekpyrosic', a term referring to the Stoic belief of Ekpyrosis in which the universe would be destroyed to make way for a new one. While the destruction of the belt prevented the formation of another singular being, the sheer mass of material could have created a collective of consciousnesses separate but not entirely distinct from those of the Nine. | **While the Nine are all singular consciousnesses centered around eight planets and the Sun, it is possible that there could have been a tenth member: the mass of the asteroid belt that was broken up before it could form into a fifth terrestrial planet.
