Destiny - Wild Theory (Will be Spoilers)

[b]Below are collections of posts by people who think theirs more to Destiny's story than Bungie lets on.[/b] I was patrolling around the moon yesterday and was silently stalking Fallen Dregs trying to listen to alien banter. I moved too close and startled one of them, who turned around and gurgled in broken english (kind of how the Grunts in Halo did) "It's the Darkness!" before firing away at me... Wait. Are. We. The. Darkness? The more I think about it, the more it makes sense... WHY ELSE would aliens be relentlessly fighting us without much justification? Although I can't explain why the alien factions would be fighting each other. Maybe the Traveler is a weapon and we simply don't know it because we're under its spell? And the alien factions don't trust each other with the Traveler's power? Damn... This is why I love the open ended narrative Bungie creates, it eventually gets sifted down and sharpened over years of questions and added content to the worlds. Maybe the traveler has been to their worlds and caused great destruction. Maybe he needed a new army, we think we fight for the light but we are actually making the universe a much darker place. The Speaker has always seemed like a shady guy to me. It's an interesting point of view. This is blowing my mind right now. Think about it, the names of some of the enemies are Wizards, Knights, Acolytes but we're Titans, Hunters, Warlocks, which have negative or evil connotations to them. Titans in Greek mythology, hunters just killing things, warlocks wielding dark magic... I'm discussing it with a few friends and it's starting to make sense. We're basically an army of undead. And this whole space fantasy theme, makes the theory seem plausible. What about the Vex? What if they're like Cylons? Why haven't we seen any other humans elsewhere? So many questions...I'm not sure if I'm entirely sold, but every little detail seems to connect. This could be huge! [b]Read some of the card backs. On the back of "Legend: The Black Garden":[/b] I am Pujari. These are the visions I have had of the Black Garden. The Traveler moved across the face of the iron world. It opened the earth and stitched shut the sky. It made life possible. In these things there is always symmetry. Do you understand? This is not the beginning but it is the reason. The Garden grows in both directions. It grows into tomorrow and yesterday. The red flowers bloom forever. There are gardeners now. They came into the garden in vessels of bronze and they move through the groves in rivers of thought. This is the vision I had when I leapt from the Shores of Time and let myself sink: I walked beneath the blossoms. The light came from ahead and the shadows of the flowers were words. They said things but I will not write them here. At the end of the path grew a flower in the shape of a Ghost. I reached out to pluck it and it cut me with a thorn. I bled and the blood was Light. The Ghost said to me: You are a dead thing made by a dead power in the shape of the dead. All you will ever do is kill. You do not belong here. This is a place of life. The Traveler is life, I said. You are a creature of Darkness. You seek to deceive me. But I looked behind me, down the long slope where the blossoms tumbled in the warm wind and the great trees wept sap like blood or wine, and I felt doubt. When my Ghost raised me from the sea there was a thorn-cut in my left hand and it has not healed since. edit: From the card "Enemies : The Darkness:" The card mentions varying ideas on what The Darkness is from the point of view of different groups on Earth. Certain positions - often labeled heretical - imply that the Traveler itself triggered the Collapse, or that it knew the Darkness was coming for it and hoped to use the Solar System as a sacrifice or a proxy army. The Binary Star cult is one notable example.

  • I can break it down maybe blow your mind. It doesn't come to anyone's surprise that Bungie utilizes biblical themes in their games to grab the inner faith of a player. The flood, the ark array in halo are examples. Both of which are taken from the book of Genesis. The last book of the Bible, Revelation. Talks of a cataclysmic event that rocks the core of humanity, a figure rises. A political figure who rallies the survivors of earth under a banner of peace and unification. It says that this leader (the beast) will suffer a mortal wound. And then is miraculously healed. He has a religious counterpart called the False Prophet. This person is empowered by the beast to perform miracles and wondrous signs to further rally the people against an extraterrestrial force that was responsible for this collapse... The problem for this... One world army, is that they are in fact the forces of darkness. Deceived by the leader and the false prophet. In the bible Satan's original name was Lucifer, or "Lightbringer"/"Lightbearer" as he was the most luminous of God's angels. Since falling from grace he has sought to subjugate humanity and bring them down with him. Ok ok what does this have to do with destiny? What we have been told, is that we found the traveler, and that it sparked the Golden Age for humanity. Then suddenly, the darkness came, the traveler suffered a mortal wound defending the remnants of earth, (the traveler is dying according to several sources) his "last" act was the creation of the ghosts and the ascension of "The Speaker" the one who knows the travelers will and is empowered by him to do its bidding. (Sounds like a prophet.) During the Golden Age, the Exo are believed to have been created, and the warminds to protect humanity from external threats. There is a problem. The Exo stranger was not forged in "the light". She calls the ghost "little light" in an almost mocking tone. When the awoken are brought up in the conversation regarding the black gardens location, she says, "Ah, yes. The Awoken. Out there wavering between the light and the dark. A side should always be taken, little light. Even if it’s the wrong side.” During this scene she pushes the ghost aside, while giving the Guardian a hint about his "side". Furthermore, the Warmind Rasputin is noted for disobeying or neglecting the Tower Vanguard leading me to assume that the Warminds are against the Traveler which is why Rasputin sought the relays. We know through the grimoire that humanity had control of Jupiter and Saturn (via life sustaining moons). The Binary Star Cult sees the traveler as the bringer of darkness and the cause of the collapse. Their name betrays their location. If Jupiter was any larger, or any hotter. It would actually be a dwarf star. Making our system a Binary Star system. I believe the Stranger is part of this Cult. Other evidence that we are not the force of light we have been told we are. Class Names: Titan - Greek elder gods who took part in the dismemberment, and cannibalization of the child Dionysus, as a way to retaliate against Zeus. Warlock - Unlike sorcerers and wizards, who approach arcane magic through innate ability or a book of learned magic, a warlock invokes magic through their darkened soul. By harnessing their innate magical gift, warlocks can perform spell-like feats and abilities; since they are not users of true spells in the traditional sense, Warlocks are often evil or chaotic in alignment. Warlocks receive their abilities through the influence of some unearthly being such as a Demon or Fey. They are either born with these powers or receive them through a fell pact, which turns their soul into a dark font of eldritch powers. Hunters - A destroyer/killer of nature, hunting creatures to the point of extinction. These are the names we give the forces of light? How about cursed weapons of darkness? Why would warriors of light compromise themselves to the corrupting influence of Crota's weaponry, or "evil/insane" Guardians? They remain incorruptible because their powers stem from the same source. The Traveler. How do the hive know how to corrupt/feed off shards of the Traveler? With their names being Knights & Wizards. What if the traveler created them, then was overpowered by his own creation. Hunted across the universe. Getting back to the Golden Age, I believe that humanity achieved this on their own, then was attacked by the Hive led by the Traveler . The Exo made to fight the massive alien force. Anyway, hopefully this has sparked more interest.

  • Didn't the Stranger say" a side should always be taken, even if it the wrong side" . She does look at you with a very, knowing look !! Maybe she's hinting that this theory is the truth ???

  • This early concept art suggest that [b]The Black Garden[/b] is actually inside of [b]The Traveler[/b]. Remember that we were teleported to an uknown location aka [b]The Black Garden[/b]

    Turns out there's more proof click on the link above. And [b]below is a link to a full plot summary[/b] of a Destiny game tester from back in 2013. Its's very different from the final game but proves that the theory holds more truth than we thought. http://s24.postimg.org/eqzaiykes/Screenshot_2014_09_27_13_02_07.jpg
