darkness postulate

The darkness in destiny has little information known about it. The only things Bungie have released say it is a powerful mysterious force. As the travelers long time nemesis it attacked it and humanity ending the golden age. and it was powerful enough to crack the travelers surface force it to move from it's starting place of mars to "the City" . Forcing the traveler to be dormant for all this time. That said one of the campaigns main purposes is to wake the traveler because the darkness is returning for a second attack. Not much has been said about the darkness's influence and how it interacts with the guardians. Will the darkness have ground units? Will it be spread out and attack guardians in random public events? Or will it be secluded in one planet or designated area that pro guardian can try their luck in a strike or raid? My postulate begins with the guesstimate that the darkness is tough to say the least. Ground units will be fast and nimble. Instead of traveling in packs like the Fallen or swarming in hordes like the Hive they will go solo. This may possibly may be seen in the sony sharing commercial with the hive shrieker. Shrieker was not one of the enemies revealed in the hive hierarchy. I can't understand why Bungie who had created a theme of medieval warriors like wizards and knights. Stoping with shriekers wouldn't make sense. They even went as far as to say that they modeled hellmouth after a medieval castle. Based on that information I am guessing that the shrieker is actually a unit of the darkness. Even if this is untrue it does not effect the rest of the postulate. Thinking about the darkness has made me question how have the other civilizations been affected by the darkness. Why would humans/awoken be hunted and destroyed by the darkness but the vex are mysteriously left alone. I think these other civilizations have made a deal with the Devil type of thing with the darkness. The vex maybe learned this time/space travel from the darkness. Or maybe the darkness made and control the vex headquartered in the citadel. We have already learned that hive wizards use powers of the darkness in similar ways guardians use powers of the traveler. Maybe the hive are humans transformed by the darkness. These things may not be known until we can actually play the campaign but are fun to theorize on. Leave a reply and start a rescission if you think I'm right or wrong I want to hear what the commune thinks and if you read this entire thing through then hats of to you. And remember stay classy San Diego

  • it would be interesting if the darkness was a being that had no form and each guardian would have to use a specific super to force it back in specific areas. (to give the darkness as sort of immortal feeling.)
