I have pieced together a theory of the taken king. If anyone would care to tell me if they have info against any parts, that would be appreciated. After e3 I'm pretty sure I can tell you the entire story of the taken king. So the taken king will start out with the traveler awakening. The new subclasses have been long lost to guardians, and with the traveler awakening he will gift it to you. Oryx is only kill able by a certain artifact. The jovians, the awoken, and now you are searching for it. Skolas was let loose by the jovians because they are upset with the queen. The artifact lies on Saturn. I think this because the speaker has said maybe it's beyond the jovians. He also comments about an object of immense power. Skolas saw that oryx is coming because his grimoire shows him afraid of something called the darkness unifer. (Not his exact words but same thing). This is where people get the thought that the taken will be an advanced combination of all the races. Also on the moon map for crucibles the cauldron, that was a hive base used to modify species. Anyways oryx is currently on Saturn, and he is planning an attack on the last city. The story campaign will consist of you obtaining the relic and saving the city. The raid will be you killing oryx. the reason I think the tower will be under attack is because of the weapons, the vanguard leaders ikora, zavala, and cayde now have personal weapons. At e3 you could see multiple weapons referencing them. Also the weapon makers will have a bigger role. This leads me to believe that the traveler has awoken because how else do we obtain all this new gear. Another thing that supports the traveler awakening is the upgrade of the ghosts. To sum it up the jovians are searching for this artifact, and to slow the awoken down in their search they release skolas. The reasoning behind this is because the Jovian know that the awoken would only help themselves. The speaker believes he located the artifact beyond the Jovian on Saturn. So the story will be you going to Saturn, and obtaining the artifact. You will then lead an assault on oryx and his fleet. This attack will not kill oryx but destroy his main force. The raid will have you actually killing him. I also think the stranger will reappear. The stranger is tied to the vex because of her weapon, and teleportation. I think she came from Saturn. She says she was not born of light. I think she was built by oryx being a vex/awoken hybrid. The experiment failed and she escaped. My support for this is, she can time travel just like the vex, she has futuristic weapons, and she is awoken. I think she will help you in obtaining the artifact and help attack oryx. TLDR: You will get an Artifact from Saturn to defeat oryx and his army. The taken are an advanced mix of all the species. The stranger will reappear and help. The jovians will also make an appearance. Edit: the stranger is awoken, and many believe that the stranger is actually Osiris's brother. I feel that they actually are on to something.

If you guys could check it out, I'm on mobile and can't post a link cause I can't find it. If you just check my recents and click on the thread, that would be deeply appreciated Edit 4: it's somewhat near the top of the trending page titled the taken king theories Edit 5: here's the link https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/132023693/0/0
