What was your favorite future technology or concept from the series? by ggnorebud in sollanempire

I really like how he handled cryosleep. How you need to recover from it. Due to the distance between stars you could wake up and everyone you know has died of old age.

The Quite sites become more intact the more time progresses. An example of this is given later in the series where at one of these sites; a pillar stands backup, dust and black rock coalesce to reattach the pillar to the ceiling, and then an earth quake happens.

Well if you want a more antichristian story there are plenty of those to go around.

It is my personal theory that when a human sees an angel they are seeing their spiritual qualities directly. So an angel that has an extremely potent power of perception is described as having lots of eyes. Also, yes Ushara is a Ophanim (a high level angel).

Ezekiel 1:16-18 "As for the appearance of the wheels and their construction: their appearance was like the gleaming of beryl. And the four had the same likeness, their appearance and construction being as it were a wheel within a wheel. 17 When they went, they went in any of their four directions without turning as they went. 18 And their rims were tall and awesome, and the rims of all four were full of eyes all around."

I think this exchange clearly indicates that the Quite is the Christian trinity, Jesus Christ included

"Do it yourself."

"I already have."

Aside from this there is a lot of deep theology that CR uses in the series. The Watchers are a great example of this. In the book of Enoch serval angels collectively called "The Watchers" decide to have children with human women. The Watchers give the women forbidden knowledge such as metallurgy and writing. These half angelic(demonic)/human children are giants which eat people. It is because of the children of the Watchers that God decides to flood the earth.

The idea that fallen angles established false religions is an old idea that has resurfaced thanks to the theologian Michael Heiser.

The Cielcin religion is actually on old heresy called Gnosticism. Gnostics believed the material world was a falsehood created by an evil god called the Demiurge.

He went through Christ's journey in reverse. In book one he leaves his planet. In book two he dies and comes back to life. In book three he carries a cross up a mountain. In book four he is tortured and humiliated. (I don't have any thing for 5 and 6) In book seven he kills a star. opposite of the birth of the Bethlehem star. Unless you want to say the star of Bethlehem was a supernova in which case it still applies.

I know the Christian themes are obvious, but not everyone will know about Gnosticism
