The Traveler Is Evil?!
I was going along the Destiny Database when this caught my eye.
The rare artifact- the Trinary Star- "We were fools to trust this god- machine. This bringer of death and Darkness."
This "god machine" instantly jumps out as the Traveler and it is a long held theory that it is evil and, in fact, has brought the darkness to us.
But this is not obviously 100%. Off my head there are one or two sects that believe the Traveler is evil. Binary Lazarus and/ or the Thankonaughts. It also may well be the Eliksni, who once had the Traveler (great machine) and it abandoned them for some reason. Any one of these could be who is saying it. There is also the slim chance it is referring to some other god machine.
Believe what you want. All will be reviled in time

1 ReplyJust to clarify, it doesn't say the traveler is evil. It says it's a bringer of death and darkness. Grimoire says that the light of the traveler shines like a beacon through the void, attracting all who see it. Think like a candle in the dark. The candle light itself may not be evil, but what it attracts definitely may be. The traveler, even if well intentioned, definitely attracts darkness and death. The fundamental problem I have with the traveler is evil theory, is why the golden age? Why the terraforming? Why the grimoire symbolism of the gardener and cultivation? None of that makes sense if the traveler is evil. I have a feeling it is more complicated than that. That said, if the traveler is part of the darkness, my best theory is that the darkness needs light to consume in order to exist, and that the traveler is a gardener, basically just "growing" light so the darkness can consume it. And our golden age was lighting the candle so the darkness knew where to go.
