The Djinn and other creatures existed before humanity and were pissed of about the talking monkeys having the blessing of Gaia, so they attacked them. In their defense, Gaia created the Bees and Lilith was one of their first Chosen, with Cucuvea as another one, but the battles traumaticed her and eventually killed Cucuvea's sister, a common mortal, because of PST. Following this she had to escape, furious with Gaia and everyone for among other things made her unable to die, and found the Host.

Samael met her and decided that having a Bee as a bodyguard and helper was not a bad idea, with her being distracted by his good looks and the plan of the Nephelim to create a New Gaia using the Dreamers. Eventually they took a RelationshipUpgrade and Samael betrayed the Nephelim, making them lost the war as the First Age was destroyed around them.

Considering that A)She is inmortal; B)She can travel to Agartha without problems; C)Her attacks during the fight against the minions of the Black Signal are very similar to the ones the player character does; D)Her obvious resistance to the Filth; and D)Her absolute betrayed look whem Emma choses the player character and the rage and sadness she shows when talking about her relationship with Samael, this story seem likely. The sad thing? If she had follow her husband sugestion and just rule the world using Orochi the events of the game would likely never happened and the two would be still happily married.

[[WMG: H.P.Lovecraft knew about the Secret World]]
It's just that everything he knew was very parcial and second-handed. The Deep Ones and the Ak'ab are just like he described them, but likely he didn't know about the Mayan involvement. He also knew about a city on Antartica and the Ur-Draugr, the Wendigos and Akenaten, but in a very vague sense. It's confirmed that he was in the Frankling Mansion and likely was a witness of somo genuine hauntings, but obviously he was not a member of any of the secret societies and didn't know many truths about the world, just enough to make a broken puzzle that let him know about previous Ages in a very fragmented manner. Hey, he said that most of his tales were based on his nightmares. What if he contacted by chance with the Dreamers and get his knowledge at 3AM? That and pure ignorance about the world would explain many things...

Samael meet her and decided that having a Bee as a bodyguard and helper was not a bad idea, with her being distracted by his good looks and the plan of the Nephelim to create a New Gaia usisng the Dreamers. Eventually they take a RelationshipUpgrade and Samael betrayed the Nephelim, making them lost the war as the First Age was destroyed around them.

During the next Ages they continued researching how to harness the Dreamers power and creating monsters, most of them being considered failures, until the end of the Third Age. Watching how Lilith's arrogance nearly cost the end of Gaia, Samael realiced that they must guide humanity to a point where they will be able to at least imitate First Age Tecnology to repair or even create Gaia Engines. However, Lilith was blinded by her need of revenge over Gaia, what strained their relationship. It's only then when Lilith began to take other lovers like Mozart and the brothers of Babel along with experimenting and creating cults like the Sol Invictus, still believing she has a chance of controlling the Dreamers to have her revenge.

* [[spoiler: CONFIRMED: Buzzing Lore indicates that the end of the Third Age was so bad that Gaia had to do a CosmicRetcon to repair the damage made by the Dreamers. Worse, it's stated that the Gaia Engines had to do that previously and, giving the strain that work makes on the Engines, it's unlikely that it would work again. What this means?

Lilith says "time moves strangely when the ages flip," and she can't put a number on how many years are between the Third and Fourth Ages because of it. Given that the Third Age ended because a Dreamer woke up just a little bit, and a Dreamer is a CosmicHorror that eats stars and does bad things to reality itself, the Ages may be distinct from each other in more abstract ways than the passage of time, resulting in the radically different ways technology developed in previous Ages, among who knows what other differences; perhaps in a previous Age, the Earth was flat or the center of the universe. At the very least, it may be more than the occurrence of an extinction event that ends an Age and starts a new one going.

* Incorrect, there are several cutscenes with gestures, as well as quests that require your character to communicate. Also, you can quite clearly ask questions about specific subjects. It is possible that characters are mute, but telepathic, but it is very clear that characters can communicate.

This is most obvious with the Templar, as the Player and Richard Sonnac are both stated to be the "New Templars", and that they have earned the ire of the "Old Templars". Likewise, Kristen Geary makes similar (if more subtle) remarks about an "Old vs. New" dynamic at play in the Illuminati after [[TheOmniscientCouncilOfVagueness The Talking Heads]] give her a PsychicNosebleed. As for The Dragon, while getting [[spoiler: Daimon Koyota]] as the new [[TheConsigliere Voice of the Dragon]] seems to be a big score for them, [[AnarchyIsChaos his more "aggressive" approach to creating chaos]] is perilously close to JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope, and he's just a single MoralEventHorizon away (such as, say, [[NukeEm deciding to nuke a city off the map]], [[TheVirus or unleashing another filth bomb]], [[ForTheEvulz just to see what kind of "chaos" ensues]]) to make a FaceHeelTurn.

In JapaneseMythology Amatsu Mikaboshi is seen as a primordial chaos which existed before creation, was shattered and broken, and became part of it upon the creation of the world. There have been cults dedicated to it in ancient Japanese times (the mythical queen Himiko was thought to be amongst them), it is said to be a corrupting force turning love into obsession, anger into hate, etc., and finally, Amatsu Mikaboshi means "The August Star of Heaven". All of these run parallel to many themes of when a cult forms around The Filth and The Dreamers.

[[WMG:The Tokyo Bomber becoming the Black Signal came out of the left field for all the parties involved, including [[spoiler:Lilith and Philip Marquard]]]]
I just like the idea that nobody saw it coming and now there is unexpected player. Especially since [[spoiler:after Issue #11 John has been freed from all previous obligations to stay in Tokyo and it's anyone's guess what he's going to do next.]]

[[WMG:There is a reason ''VideoGame/TheSecretWorld'' didn't have a WMG page until now (December 16, 2012 at creation)]]
If only because a game of this nature would have had a very long one by now. Specifically, the Council of Venice has been suppressing all speculation on The Secret World, just in case the guess comes too close to reality and risks to blow the masquerade.
