Hello and welcome guardians, this is AnonPig of both the collective of knowledge and the collective of Fanfiction, and I'm here to talk to you on a more personal agenda note. I know I have made everything to know about the fallen, but this isn't everything to know, this will show you my personal reasoning to believe the traveler has come to us only after first visiting, and abandoning, the fallen. Now, from what we know of the traveler we can safely deduce it's a sphere, it can perform marvelous (even godlike) acts, it came from the void, and it's pursued by the darkness. So from what we know of the fallen we can deduce that they once lived in a time of noble houses, a life style we embraced over 1000 years ago, and in smaller cases still do. They need ether to live, and we can induce from the grimoire captain card that the more ether they receive the larger they become in size. They also performed horrible acts onto each other as a way of showing rank besides height; cutting off and docking lower limbs. They have machine gods known as primes, which are also spheres, who supply the ether to the fallen, and have smaller versions of such which act as radio transmitters to each other as well as defensive and offensive support to fallen troops. Lastly and most importantly we see the fallen attacking us the hive and the vex. The reason the last is important is simple, in the scenario I propose the fallen were once influenced by the traveler, but disgusted by their acts it left them. They then pursue it, trying to win it back. The Hive are currently in a crusade to consume all light, the Vex, thanks to the sol divisive and their collective mind, have actually become a part of the darkness, and we...have The traveler. If the Fallen are here to win back the traveler it's clear they would want to take us out of the picture for "stealing it from them" as well as the hive because of their crusade against light, and the vex because they seek to destroy the traveler. Now the reasons I think the traveler had an influence on the fallen should be clear, but to further prove my point I bring to your attention the fallen ghost fragment. Here we see the thoughts of a dreg, talking about something that was seen as shadow, but isn't because it couldn't be stolen. Clearly a higher power has been stolen from the fallen and they want it back, but this particular dreg found the darkness and saw it to be greater. Thankyou for reading, this is your friendly neighborhood AnonPig!
