This has quite likely been found before here but the confirmation that there are three Triluminaries is from Babylon Squared. I saw something interesting that might not have been noticed before though. When the staff is shown in Babylon Squared, it has a full triangle, as it should. However...

In Atonement, which I just rewatched after many years, there is a second Triluminary shown. It’s in the hilt of Dukhat’s staff. Somewhere, it is said that there are three Triluminaries (not Atonement). Three is a very important number to the Minbari. Also in Atonement, Dukhat says the...

Yeah, I messed up my theory. I of course meant one full moon per month (nine months) with each Triluminary covering 3 months. I just checked X and saw JMS’s reply before coming here. It was a fun idea. I thanked JMS for the kind reply but have never really liked Freud very much. Carl Jung rules. ?

The episode should be War Without End, Part 2.

Here is a thought that I had earlier that has nothing to do with my previous comments. So, Valen forms the Grey Council, composed of nine members with each faction having three. What if the term “Triluminaries,” suggesting they related to the council, might also refer to Earth’s moon? Why...

I looked on the JMS news forum and found a comment from JMS (12/10/1996) where he says that the “Triluminaries originally came from Epsilon 3 with the other equipment brought aboard by Zathras.” That would be the box that is dropped with the triangle symbol. This still doesn’t say who made them...

Believe what you wish, as I have no problem with what anyone thinks. I’m just giving my opinion. It’s obvious to me that JMS has kept it somewhat vague so that each viewer can resolve it their own way. For me, using the phrase “War Without End” in two episode titles seems to suggest a loop of...

Yes, but where did Zathras get them? We never saw them built. I contend that they came from Babylon 4 (B4 [before], as in the past) and were “passed” (sounds like past) to the Minbari to be used by them after Sinclair became Valen. In the future, Zathras took them back to the past and completed...

My own take on the Triluminaries is that they were never actually made. They always existed. They are an example of a Predestination Paradox. Kirk’s reading glasses and the watch in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny are two more examples. It’s interesting to note that the lore says that the...
