The Nine

So I was patrolling around on the forums and my friend invites me to her party and her friend tells me about the nine (which I already knew about lel) and proceeds to go on a continuous rant about the Destiny fan art he has seen about these triangle ships that you can see in Mars. They don't fly, they only make humming sounds. Has anyone seen these? Has anyone thought of the nine and what they are? I've looked at the grimoire cards and in one of the nine there are nine descriptions I believe of each of the members. Perhaps there are more than just...nine? Thoughts?

  • The nine are 9 warminds built to protect the solar system across all planets. That picture is from a Destiny panel at E3 and they got written out, due to a major dev leaving and taking his work with him.

    • You're misreading the card. It doesn't talk about each of their members. It is just random theories about what the Nine actually are. No one knows, and so the theories are radically different.

      • I think this will end up being the Ninth planet of this solar system which happens to be called Eris

                [quote]1, I knew you knew. 2, the nine are a races, well the 5 race in the game , we only met one of them (xür), and never a ship, so naturally it would make sense for it to be a nine ship. 3, The grimoire card says nine are a group of survivors, blah blah blah, also stating they are what was, is, isnt, and whats left to be, the nine are everything that was or isnt..[/quote] Alright, I'm going to attempt to answer this (and your friend's relpy) as to what we know of the nine. I speak as a member of a group that buries themselves within the lore to know it all, a go to source once the story actually fleshes out. [b]Please, move this thread to #Destiny. If you need help, say so.[/b] The Nine are not a race. The fifth 'race' in that picture is what we speculate to be a physical manifestation of "The Darkness" or just long forgotten concept art. Xûr is not one of the nine, rather, he is controlled by them. He is even happy to be trading the exotics away from the Nine's possession. The grimoire your friend references about "a group of survivors" is quite a strange one. We believe it to be one of two possibilities: A) there is 9 paragraphs, one for each member B) there is more than 9 members, and the grimoire is a vague attempt to define them. The Nine is a collection of intellectual life forms or forces. They act as a metaphysical Gamemaker in Destiny, a kind of illuminati. The Queen of the Reef has active communication with the Nine, and offers a gift from the Prison of Elders to stay in their graces. The Nine will provide the major story turning point in future Destiny games. The Speaker questions why they do not help, Xûr speaks that they will come to see the end, and everything else we know of them is 2spoopy4me. TL;DR They are basically Destiny illuminati, not much is know about them. As far as game application goes, we will need them to defeat the darkness. The problem is, they have motives of their own that goes beyond our comprehension.

                • How do u get year 3 just a Q Oh and I think the 9 are mini travelers that the traveler created (like giant ghosts) for the Jovian race so that when the darkness came to attack them the traveler fled to go help another race and the jovians got the 9 to guide them and the darkness didn't kill them

                • No one cares if your post got buried. Bump it. Move this back to #Destiny now. Why is this so hard for you Desticles to understand?

                        • If you listen to xur's idle voice clips he tells you "the nine rule beyond the jovians" I.e. Beyond Neptune. But please edit your post and change #gaming to #destiny. You already have an entire forum, please do not infect our corner
