<No race is inherently good or bad. The Traveler itself wants to improve life, but when it goes down, it has no restrictions from pulling people back into the fray and allowing the genocide of other species. The Deep wants to restore order to the chaos. But it's methods are a little extreme.>

  • <The Deep all depends on context. One form is the name of a place. This place would be the inner most Ascendant Plane tied to the literal "Deep" of Fundament which refers to the bottom of the ocean. The Deep is the only other name for the Ascendant Realm besides the Void. The entity known as the Deep is also known as the Darkness, Queen of Final Shapes, the Flower Eater, IT, or Titanomach. It is the being responsible for the Darkness POWER in this universe, probably why it shares the name. It is essentially like the dark side of the force given form. It can speak, possess, manipulate, destroy and more. IT might also be leading the pyramid fleet directly, ready to return to finish the job. IT believes the universe has become unbalanced by the Traveler's work and thinks the only way to deal with it is to murder it and everything that follows it. It believes in the Final Shape, which means only the strongest survive. Funnily enough, that means the collective death of everything it fights. Not even its own disciples will survive, as the Hive will starve because there is no food, the Worms may be killed by the Hive in desperation. The only things left are shadow entities born from the Darkness or maybe the pyramid ship's commanders... Whatever they may be.>

  • Thanks for this. I really wasn't aware of the deep. First time I saw it was during the blind well.

  • <Just know that it can be confusing whether Deep refers to the power, the AP, or the entity. In the Blind Well, it's the power of the Darkness. The Deep is to the Sky, Light.>

  • Well. That's... [i]Deep.[/i] [spoiler]Sorry, I had to.[/spoiler] On the for real, I have always felt Destiny has been Lovecraft lite, but this explanation just raised it up a notch. Excellent description.
