Vision 47 is a D1 grimoire card that tells us of one of Osiris’s prophecies. I haven’t seen any talk of this anywhere so I’m going to go through it and give my thoughts on how it speaks of the hive. [quote]The first comes in a shadow. A window becomes a door. An ebb becomes a gulf. The second comes in bones. Tithes offering feasts, carrying laws. A path torn, minds shattered. The third does not come alone. It cannot. Our truths woven into their being, desires beyond our own. The first needs the second to fail, the third needs the first to succeed. The second will never cease, yet the first always prevails. The third is born of all outcomes. Unless, all ends flow from the same pit.[/quote] Let’s break this down into segments. [quote]The first comes in a shadow. A window becomes a door. An ebb becomes a gulf. [/quote] The shadow speaks of Oryx, his shades and the taken. The window could refer to many things; Mara looking through the window of her ketch about to step into Oryx’s throne, Toland having watched us defeat Crota, using the dreadnaught to pass back into the material world. The ebb of darkness becomes a gulf as Oryx’s will flows into the system and carves out chunks of it for himself. [quote]The second comes in bones. Tithes offering feasts, carrying laws. A path torn, minds shattered.[/quote] Here we see Savathun. Like the bones of Ahamkara she comes in whispers. She seeks to “feast” on the tithing of those she sends to the distributary and to change the laws that govern her own existence. She has torn Maras path to godhood from her and left her throne/mind world shattered. [quote]The third does not come alone. It cannot.[/quote] Xivu Arath is the aspect of war, and war cannot come alone because there must always be two sides to conflict. [quote]Our truths woven into their being, desires beyond our own.[/quote] This I’m still uncertain on. Woven truths perhaps indicative of Savathuns plot to power herself through our incorrect assumptions? [quote]The first needs the second to fail, the third needs the first to succeed.[/quote] Oryx’s plan was to become synonymous with death. Savathun’s plan is to become synonymous with deceit. Xivu’s plan, we suspect, may be to become synonymous with war. Oryx needs Savathun to fail, yet Xivu needs Oryx to succeed... [quote]The second will never cease, yet the first always prevails. The third is born of all outcomes.[/quote] Savathun will never cease to be cunning but Oryx always defeats her. A sign that Oryx, though dead, will have a part to play in the defeat of his sister, possibly through Quria. Xivu is born of all outcomes as war is inevitable. [quote]Unless, all ends flow from the same pit.[/quote] This suggests that though the hive gods may strive for their separate goals, it is possible they are all puppets for a greater power. Whether this be the worm gods or perhaps the darkness itself we cannot know, merely something to keep in mind. Bearing in mind that Bungie made this back in D1, it’s possible they had nothing of D2 mapped out and this is all gibberish. However on the chance that it isn’t, this is my interpretation, would be curious to hear yours.
