The Traveler Lore & Speculation

In the Traveler's Grimoire cards, namely Ghost Fragments it mentions [i]Dreams of Alpha Lupi[/i] atop them all, it speaks of a past, a past that could be believed to be the Travelers. We don't know much about the Traveler, only that when it arrived it brought with it a Golden Age that humanity would prosper in. It's gifts changed the solar system and the nature of human life. [b]Ghost Fragment: The Traveler 1[/b] [spoiler]You have lived as invisibly as possible, flicking from solar system to solar system, making grand plans, overseeing the culturing of civilizations, before leaving in a blink. But you have no recollection of ever wanting worship or even thanks from those blessed by you. But memory is heavy now. It feels like lead and neutronium and electroweak matter fashioned into a moon-sized ball that you must carry as you move. Now, your flight is rapid, your vast mind infected with such dread and toxic doubt that you find yourself afraid of the simple act of thought. And it is your children you must turn to now, in time of need. [/spoiler] [b]Ghost Fragment: The Traveler 2[/b] [spoiler]This has been such a long chase. This will be the place you will fight. Fight and win. But do you really know why you go where you go, and where this journey is taking you? The chase leads you where you need to be, you believe. Unless...you are being pushed.[/spoiler] [b]Ghost Fragment: The Traveler 3[/b] [spoiler]The knife had a million blades. And you were giant, powerful and swift. But the knife pinned you. Cut your godly flesh away. Very little was left, you are sure, because you feel insignificant now. The hard slick heart of your soul: That is what remains. A body small as a river stone, and just as simple. You picture yourself as a piece of indigestible grit, a nameless nothing hiding among other nameless stones. Perhaps you glitter like a gem, yes. Pride makes you hope so. If only you could see yourself. But you have no eyes. Not the dimmest sense survives. What lives is memory, and what slim portion of these thoughts can you trust? The knife stole much more than your body.[/spoiler] The Grimoire cards speak of a past we believe to have been the Travelers, captured by its Ghosts. It mentions that the Traveler was aware of the Darkness, that the beast had taken away more than just its body and that it was always moving from solar system to solar system. The Earth is where the Traveler would stand and fight, fight and win. But what are your thoughts? (I'll add more onto this later.)

  • I think the traveler is a Trojan horse and the cause of the darkness. I think rasputin perceived this. Common, do you really think you traveled through time in that last gate, or were you teleported to the black garden which is INSIDE the traveler sphere?
