Why I seriously think the Traveler is evil.

I assume most people have seen this Grimoire card. However, the majority of the posts referring to this card mention the part about the three queens. The part I've shared with you caught my attention, and here's why. [i]"Everything is becoming more ruthless and in the end only the most ruthless will remain ("[b]LOOK UP AT THE SKY[/b]).[/i] Ask yourself, if you're at home, on Earth, what do you see when you look up at the sky? [i]The Traveler.[/i] In its name we've slaughtered hundreds, no, thousands of sentient beings. We are waging war simply to "protect the traveler." Sounds pretty dark to me. But wait, there's more! Remember how the third queen raised an army and conquered everything? Well, I think it's safe to say that the Traveler is referred to as Isis. Who was Isis? Apart from being the goddess of wellbeig, and a gardener, her name [i]literally[/i] means "throne". Who sits on a throne? A queen. All in all, I'm pretty sure the Traveler is the third queen. We are the final evil, the eternal sovereign's armada. [b]EDIT:[/b] Wow guys, thanks so much for all the input! I love reading your theories and ideas, keep them coming!

  • I've actually been thinking about this a lot and I totally agree. The speaker was just rambling one day when I had my character up there by him. He said "we are the traveler's will" or something to that effect. I thought "All I do is blindly kill for the traveler never questioning why." It's also kinda convenient for the traveler that no one wants to tell us guardians anything. Just that the traveler is great, it advanced our species. And now The Darkness is destroying our solar system. There's even a hunter cloak the speaker sells that says in the description something about a cult of people that curse the traveler's light. (Its blue, with a deer on it I believe) I think the traveler is like the Silver Surfer basically. Herald of the Darkness. It finds good solar systems, terraforms the planets, then invites the Darkness to the party. All while enlisting each planet's inhabitants to help cleanse the galaxy.
