[@Shalama]

That would be more satisfying, because the Traveler might not be as powerful as the Darkness is right now and we will not yet have to decide to give up the Light in order to end the struggle of both. We might just have to gain strength, weaken the Darkness and establish the balance.

I personally think the "ships" are just avatars for the darkness, much like the Traveler is for the light. Though the traveler grants us our light and allows us to wield the light, it isn't itself the light. I think that this is the same for these space triangles. They're literally the same yet opposite of the traveler. I would argue that this matches the talk of symmetry far better than them being dimensional portals. Unless the Traveler is a dimensional portal to a place where the light has full control.

[@browntaxi7158]

I feel like the giant Triangle IS the darkness and the smaller ships house the antithesis to our guardians who wield the light. The fifth race could be the wielders of the darkness that the darkness chose just like us. Also the reason I do believe the big triangle is the darkness is because if the darkness is supposed to be the opposite of the traveler it wouldn't make sense for the darkness to not have a physical form just like its mortal enemy, from a logical standpoint I feel like the darkness should have a physical manifestation like the traveler only different from it, a tetrahedron makes sense since the traveler is a sphere and a tetrahedron has edges but that's my own personal theory on it, I'm in no way a Destiny lore buff I only just started watching these lore videos because I'm sick and tired of the cool stuff I hear Destiny has but never implemented into the game unlike Dark souls. Also can someone give me the name of that OST that played in the beginning half of this video, the one where your guardian is walking the wilds with no where to go after the city is taken over in the beginning of the game, it's one of my favorites from Destiny 2 and I can't find it for the life of me.

B-Music he no speaker bc speaker doesn't even speak

[@imgladiquitdestiny2401]

B-Music I believe that the speak is just another physical analogy or metaphor for the 'light/traveler' so he isn't really anyone. Which could explain why he could understand the traveler.

[@xenostyrant4118]

I like to think that Rahool's line of "The best Cryptarchs aren't known by name but by the quality of their work" is a nice subtle nod to the lore community basically saying while you aren't named in game we recognise the effort you put in for Destiny and it's community and naming them Cryptarchs in recognition.

I feel that the orb may be the "ship" or carrier of the traveler and not the traveler itself.

[@rlsd420gamechat]

like an ancient alien in hibernation.

[@beaniefaust4144]

Or maybe it’s exactly as Byf said, the ships of darkness are dimensional portals to the darkness, while the traveler is a dimensional portal to the light. One could go as far as saying the Ahmakaran are the traveler’s vessels. Still a theory, but I’m sure there’s stuff out there to prove it.

[@skiffiewhipper478]

Severa I agree but feel that the orb is like a mech of sorts, a machine construct through witch the Traveler itself acts through similar to how the Vex radiolaria act through their robotic bodies.

[@RyanOConnell02]

samm hain like the didact in halo 4 even though bungie had nothing to do with that installation it does look ALOT like it

Flying_Duck _Person well the stranger is (with fair certainty) Ana Bray’s sister, Elsie Bray. While Ana was a guardian her sister wasn’t so she time-hopped around creating tech such as the Shadow trespass exotic ship that mentions her in its lore.

[@bonehawk1562]

Anybody else notice that Light Imbued Ghaul looks a lot like Oryx when he has his wings out right at the begging of the cutscene?

[@scivixthecreep]

What ever the 5th race is, it would be safe to say that that race is the Dark's version of guardians. Where the Traveller has chosen humanity as it's champions, this conduit of darkness chose the 5th race. Also the I believe that the large triangular ship is the Dark's version of the Traveller, and the smaller ones are the 5th race's ships. I say this because supposedly the darkness chaces the light from one side of space to the other, then it would make sense that the darkness would make a conduit of dark when the light made a conduit of light, and same goes for the light's champions, it is the rule of symmetry, the light makes something, the dark does the equal, so the fith race follows its Traveller in search of the Traveller, but humanity has had no reason to make ships and follow our Traveller, because it has been "sleeping".

[@menacingbud6000]

Hey guys I know this has nothing to do with this but imagine for a future dlc the tower/last city have a civil war! Then maybe you the vanguards will be on opposite sides same with the gunsmith, MASTER RAHOOL! Etc. Then in one fight u will have to kill an opposing vanguard

We have killed a Prince. We have killed a King. We have killed a man who wished to be the Emperor. But was just a Legendary General with more power than a king. We have slain all those that have commanded armies agents the light. But the true Emperor of Darkness has not come forth. Why would the Emperor squish an ant himself when he has servants to do so for him. But now we have his personal attention. The Darkness has awakened. The champion of darkness is the emperor of darkness and we are the champion of light. Our battle draws near, but remember there is never just two sides in a war but always at least three. In this one there is the Light, the Darkness, and those that are stuck in the middle what can be called the Shadows. Whose side do you think the Stranger is on.

My mind immediately went to that concept art from GDC 2013 when I saw those ships. It was a relief to see these enemies show up, as it implies that Bungie isn't outright abandoning The Darkness like Luke Smith said they were, or at least not as drastically. If those ships actually do end up being Gateways to an alternate reality, then *I wonder if the humanoids depicted in that "5th Enemy" art are Alternate Guardians, or Dark Guardians?* Guardians of The Darkness?

[@timmyd_35]

But we should be talking about the dlc rather than destiny 3

[@kalebberge1483]

Because story line...? Not much more of a reason. A new game presents more lure and even more of a story to play through. The ships suggest a destiny 3, they're light years out and they moved at the pace of turtle compared to the distance they have to travel. It wouldn't make since for a DLC to implement them because it would take away from an entire possible story line for the next destiny of a fight between light and dark. I noticed nobody gave you an answer, I play PC so destiny has been released for maybe a month tops for me. I just figured I'd respond :D

I have a feeling that the big "Triangle" is the darkness itself like the big sphere is the traveler and then the smaler "Triangles" are the minions of the darkness basically the new race we will inevitably fight againgst I atleast hope so that would be pretty sweet!

[@wingsofsilver]

You also see Triangular shapes, which may be the ships or something, during the cinematic after Ghaul kicks you off his ship they are seen to be sinking in the water. Maybe a link to when the Traveler first defeats them?

[@denfraise4813]

I want 2 major questions in Destiny 2 addresses, what is the relation between the Traveller and the Vex (early D1 concept art showed Vex structures within a spherical construct), and why couldn't all the other surviving Guardians be escorted to the shard to regain their Light by us?

[@denfraise4813]

My second point really frustrates me because no one in the story even asks how we regained our Light. They just said, "What? You have your light back?! Impossible!".

[@flashdr1ve]

I remember hawthorne (i think) say that was a broken piece of the traveler that came off a long time ago and they didnt go near it because they thought the darkness manifested it, but at the same time they dont say anything about it

[@reigniare990]

To answer your second question, this is a comment from Byf: "So on the note of the lore and the escort mission. Cool idea but it wouldn't work out. The whole point is that light needs to be given by choice. The Traveler is that which chooses. It gave you the vision, it gave you the light. It refused it for Ghaul and any others. In canon that's kind of why we're the only ones who can reclaim it from the shard. Seems pretty clear that for story purposes, you're the only guardian who's meant to have reclaimed the light. The story isn't meant to be done with a fireteam in the canon I guess..."

[@standardissuegoblin]

Gage Glover bothered the hell or of me too. Upon charging the third subclass ghost does say that there is a little light left in the shard, suggesting it had a limited amount to offer. BUT WHY DID NO OTHER GUARDIAN EVEN ASK! Seems like that would be the first priority before challenging Ghaul.

[@Grumpy-Drum]

On your first point: that early concept art could have been based around the original idea for the Destiny story, in which the Traveller is actually evil, and housed the Black Garden and its heart. Then when they had to hurriedly do a rewrite they changed the Travellers role to "benevolent globular stucture that does very little" =P

[@ivegonefishing482]

I have two lore questions for you Byf about the Taken. 1) Why are there no taken Dreg? Did Oryx view them as too pathetically weak to be taken. I suppose the same could be asked about why there are no Taken Vex Harpy. 2) When Oryx took a victim, what became of that victim's weapon and armor? Was it replaced with constructs of darkness or was it infected and perfected by the darkness like its owner?

[@Fading_Skies]

There were Taken Harpies. You fight a few of them as mini-bosses.

[@josiahrodes7974]

I have a theory, and it is very similar to yours. What if the reason the Traveler woke up is because Ghaul would have become as powerful as the Travel if kept alive. And the reason he stayed dormant is because it woke up is because it waking would have woken the Darkness as well. Just a theory though.

[@MJPlays08]

XxShadowPandaxX Me man, that's a good theory!

[@ARCtrooperblueleader]

[@patrickstar6458]

i always thought void was basically that already though... we reach into the darkness and draw power from it reborn in light. one of the story telling bits when regaining voidwalker subclass mentions what void is and it seems to fit

[@TheGhostFLA]

yeah I thought about that as well. but we can only hope for another subclass lol

[@y3deniedgaming712]

If we wield darkness, we would die since we are powered by the Light

[@MrJosh194]

If we are to fight the darkness I'm pretty sure it would take our max to deal serious damage, a new subclass which implements all 3 known energy types would be something cool to see but I don't really think that would make sense since that isn't the way things work, either way I hope we do get another subclass

[@thenot-sofinalcountdown8453]

nonaG123 void light originates from the void the traveler arrived through. Void light is not reclaimed darkness, though it does seem to be the most linked to the darkness. Kind of like mace windu from Star Wars. A Jedi, but a breed of Jedi that teeters between the dark side and the light side of the force.

[@ThelcarusWing]

Can't the darkness be explained the same way as the light. The ships may be fragments of the physical manifestation of the darkness like the traveler is the physical manifestation of the light. However, you implied that the ships could be gateways to a universe where the darkness is all powerful. By the logic of the ying yang you mentioned, could the traveler be a gateway to a dimension where the light is all powerful? If I'm wrong about any of this please correct me. I haven't really searched through the grimoire but this is the assumption I'm making off of the information i have
