[quote]Intent:[/quote]This thread is dedicated to [i][b]The Traveler[/i][/b]. Here we store all the information we can find on it and discuss what we've found. [quote]What we've got:[/quote] [url=http://oyster.ignimgs.com/wordpress/stg.ign.com/2012/11/51.jpg]Picture of The Traveler[/url], [url=http://oyster.ignimgs.com/wordpress/stg.ign.com/2012/11/61.jpg]far[/url] (concept art/proof of concept).

No one knows where it came from or what it's here for, but only that it's our protector."[/i] ~ [url=http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/186ndtmch5it3jpg/original.jpg]Source[/url] [b][i]Bungie has confirmed to Kotaku that the document and some of the art is genuine, and is somewhat representative of the game.[/i][/b] ~ [url=http://kotaku.com/5963807/story-details--art-leak-from-bungies-next-game-the-sci+fi-epic-destiny]Kotaku/Source[/url] Questions: How do they know it is their protector? Is it a bit worn out, or is that just the art being indistinct? Where does it state that the [i]planetoid[/i] is called [i]"The Traveler"[/i]? What is it capable of in terms of combat, offensive/defensive? [b]Note:[/b] the above questions might already be solved. Will update when new information is available. [quote]The Allegiance:[/quote] In order to avoid confusion and make the discussion on the subject more efficient, I hope to make this a [i]sibling[/i] to some of the other Destiny related threads. I've taken the freedom to suggest who might be willing enter this allegiance by linking some of the more [i]proficient[/i] threads on what might be core elements of Destiny? Hope you don't mind: [quote] [b]The Traveler:[/b] [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=76120271]DESTINY - The Traveler[/url] ~ [b]Janaka[/b] [b]The [i]Legged Tank[/i]:[/b] [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=76091026] Let's have a chat about Walking Tanks[/url] ~ [b]Hylebos[/b] [b]Joyeuse:[/b] [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=70585296]The Joyeuse IP Formula[/url] ~ [b]Cortana 5[/b] [b]Geography:[/b] [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=68213981]My God, It's Full of Stars - The Destiny Map[/url] ~ [b]SonicJohn[/b] [b]The Last City on Earth:[/b] Needs thread...
