For those of you who don’t know, every enemy faction in Destiny is based on real life ancient civilizations, religions and historical figures. Fallen = Pirates Hive = Ancient Europe/Dark Age Mythology Vex = Ancient Greece Mythology Cabal = Roman Empire That is why some units of each faction are made and designed to have some reflection of what they are based on. Ex: Hive Knights have Swords to reflect real Knight weaponry Cabal Phalanxes have giant shields that reference a Roman tactic where a group of foot soldiers with shields huddle up to make a wall Since the Darkness is coming soon, I’ve been wondering what they could be based on. Personally, I’m hoping for Egyptian because the creatures and figures in that culture are more interesting. I would love to see some sort of serpent creature (more specifically, an Apep: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apep) implemented into the game. But, if you feel like some other mythological creature is more deserving, feel free to share. Edit: Changed Cabal to Roman Empire from Holy Roman Empire because I have been corrected because I’m not a History person. Sorry for the inconvenience!

    The Darkness, just like the Light (The Traveler), transcend any religion or culture or belief. In my opinion, they are the embodiments of the universal laws of creation and destruction. Its not good or evil or any belief we have or had in human history, it is simply the way the universe works. The constant struggle and balence between creation and destruction. One cannot exist without the other and nothing can be created without having first the raw materials from a previous destruction. If you're going to base them on ANYTHING, its the laws of the cosmos. The Light and the Darkness are what drives stars to explode and then reform into white dwarfs. The Light and Darkness are embodiments of that law. I could go on and on about this lol
