Xur: "Your Traveller has a dark mirror".
So I'm no hardcore lore seeker, but I have read enough to have a basic knowledge of the world to an extent and when I was visiting Xur just now he said that "Your Traveller has a dark mirror".
This got me thinking about if the Darkness is this dark mirror of the traveller. If the Traveller is the light then it's dark mirror would be just that, dark.
Some say that the traveller is running from something. Could that be it's darker counterpart that it is fleeing. Is a dark traveller and light traveller kind of a yin yang of the universe? Do opposites attract causing one to pursue the other?
Or is this dark mirror in a parallel universe? Xur specifically said mirror, not brother or some other familiar term.
I don't know, but I wanted to throw this out here and see what some of the more lore seeking Gaurdians thought. Anyone have any input?

1 ReplyThe forum had crazy amount of theories more deep, way more deep than this prior to game launch. This forum was only full of praise. And mindblowing theories. One of them talked about how the Traveller created or modified each race in their own planet to their glory then left them when they started failing. Such as doing so to us now. Those are fighting us now because of either jealousy or to gain the traveller back, or revenge on the traveler.

I think we're missing the huge, world-changing prospect here... What if the Traveler owns a mirror with a very dark pigment?

2 RepliesCould also be a reference to the dark side of the Traveler in so much as the Traveler never seems to directly engage the enemy. Instead it turns other people into soldiers. It is pursued across the universe by the Darkness but, aside from the assertion that it protects the Last City you never learn how. The Lore seems to indicate that the City has been attacked by the Darkness's minions and the Guardians fought back. The Traveler didn't wipe them out in a blaze of light. Guardians fought and died to save the City while the Traveler just hung out. Essentially the Traveler weaponizes the races it encounters. It is analogous to child soldiers and that is kind of evil.

4 RepliesEdited by Kaladin: 5/17/2015 6:43:06 PMI've seen some videos saying the traveller was originally intended to be the darkness itself. The black garden concept art( before game release) was on a concave surface. That surface looked like the travelers surface, which means the black garden could've been inside the traveller. This is all based on a few videos I've seen. I'll post the picture of the black garden when I find it.

Bump for insight

Edited by XxnatonxX: 5/17/2015 8:31:57 PMYes! I was thinking this same thing a couple weeks ago when Xur said it, Eris Morn also said something along the lines of "Your Traveller is not everything it seems" the speaker also sounds pretty creepy when talking to him.

2 RepliesOk, I posted this a bit late yesterday and wanted to give it one bump to see if anyone had anything to say just incase since I'm genuinely interested. :)

Edited by WhoShotYa_92: 5/17/2015 8:25:21 PMThe traveler has a dark side to it we just haven't seen it yet is what I believe he's warning us about

Who cares? Because what little story Destiny actually has will never touch up on it with its vagueness and poor writing.

1 ReplyA mirror has a reflection in it. Another you. If it has a dark mirror, then maybe Xur is saying the Traveler is the Darkness. Or what if it's the key to releasing a bigger, badder Darkness we haven't seen before? If it is running from something, when will that something arrive at Earth to find our dormant master? Or maybe it's simply saying that all of Darkness is against the Traveler, that the Traveler has so much weight on its metaphorical shoulders.

1 ReplyDude that's deep. But more likely we'll have the buy the dlc to find out
