Mine is rather long and may contain Religious beliefs some could find offensive. Read it all before you judge. 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.
