The Light and the Darkness Are Both Evil

The entire point of the game is the Light vs. the Darkness. What I realized is that the Light or the Dark never beats the other, it only ever balances the other out. So right now we are balancing it so that the Light can make a resurgence and the Darkness can be pushed back. What came before that? The Collapse, after humanity expanded into an empire based upon the Travelers Light. There was an imbalance, the Traveler created too much Light, and the Darkness pushed it back. Now we are doing the same, except to the Darkness. Until a balance is struck and the "Gray" area between the Light and the Dark is found, the destiny of a Guardian, and by extension humanity and every species that follows the Light, is to push and be pushed back for eternity. No one wins, no one conquers the universe. Just the push and pull of the tides of the Light and the Dark. The game should not be about conquering that which represents the Darkness and defending what represents the Light, it should be about conquering both the Light and the Dark to break this cycle of perpetual death and rebirth. What do you all think the game represents or should represent?

  • They are probably just the embodiment of good and evil light and dark. This duality is part of the lore I think. They could also represent creation and destruction. One cannot exist without the other. This could be why the darkness can never be defeated only repelled for a time. This could also be the reason that the traveler always leaves. It creates only to see the darkness come and try to destroy it's creation. It knows it can't win so it just leaves. This is why Rasputin stopped the traveler from leaving. I think destiny represents that we control our own wait for it destiny. That even if the traveler was destined to leave or to fight we can change that. Hopefully that answered your question I kinda just started going on a random lore rant.
