Hello and welcome Guardians, I'll be doing research on this (sorry for the delay) and updating what i find here. Not everything i say will be directly tied to each other, im posting EVERYTHING i find. Thanks guys.

Here's something I've found. These are clearly docking ports, and the same upward "C' shape is found under the Triangle. That may imply that those are coordinates?
http://norse-mythology.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Valknut-1-300x263.png
that;s the Valknut (val-noot)
[quote]This explanation is all the more plausible since the form of heathen Norse magic that the sources mention the most often, namely seidr, consisted of reaching a heightened state of consciousness wherein one could discern the web of destiny and re-weave particular strands in order to accomplish the practitioner’s purpose. Weaving in this symbolic sense and spiritual power were almost synonymous, so it should come as no surprise that a symbol involving power over life and death would be visualized as a knot.[/quote]
furthering this look closely there's a circle with an arrow poitning upwards, that arrow points towards Tower North (where the Traveler can be seen)
[quote]A less satisfying explanation that some scholars have invoked is that the Valknut could be the “Hrungnir‘s Heart” (Hrungnis hjarta) mentioned in Snorri Sturluson’s Prose Edda: “Hrungnir had a heart made of hard stone and pointed with three corners, just like the carved symbol which has been called Hrungnir’s heart ever since.”[5] All that this description tells us about the visual form of “Hrungnir’s Heart” is that it had a triangular shape. That’s such a general description that the idea that Hrungnir’s Heart and the Valknut are the same symbol could only really be taken seriously if the archaeological context in which the symbol appears were to match Snorri’s description. As we’ve seen, this is far from the case. The “heart made of hard stone” is utterly incongruous with Odin’s ecstatic magic.
So, given the present state of our knowledge, we can reasonably assume that the meaning of the Valknut has much to do with death, the transition from life to death and probably back again.[/quote]
So now look at the original image again. It has a circle (a flat sphere) with an arrow in it, pointing towards Tower North (which is where you can see the Traveler) Could the Traveler be...waking? in the Taken King? maybe even a new breath? giving us hope?

[quote]The crescent represents the powers of the moon- reflective and receptive. (An example of this symbol taken to its highest symbolic meaning would be the Holy Grail) A reversed crescent often represents emptiness and illusion.[/quote]
"the Holy Grail" a similar quest we could be on?
http://symboldictionary.net/library/graphics/symbols/downward.jpg
[quote]The downward pointing triangle is sometimes referred to as the chalice. It is the symbol of water (as it flows downward), the grace of heaven, and the womb. it is one of the most ancient symbols of female divinity, as a representation of the genitalia of the goddess.[/quote]
"female divinity" I personally believe the Traveler to be Alpha Lupi, the Alpha she-wolf, could this be referring to her?
http://symboldictionary.net/library/graphics/symbols/vertical.jpg
[quote]First, a vertical axis, representing man, the body, and our upright posture, which is unique in the animal kingdom. The vertical line symbolizes the path from earth to heaven and the realm of spirit, symbolizing the dual nature of man, who embodies the spiritual and the temporal. The vertical axis equates directly to the human spine and to the tree of life, as well as to the axis mundi, the great pole around which the constellations of the zodiac revolve. These seemingly disparate ideas share a common idea- they link the earth and heavens. Thus is the concept of the connection between earth and heaven established- and also the divinity of man, who alone is built on this axis.[/quote]
"tree of life" and "connection between earth and heaven" these two are referring to my next point....
http://symboldictionary.net/library/graphics/symbols/circle.jpg
[quote]The Circle is the most common and universal signs, found in all cultures. It is the symbol of the sun in its limitless or boundless aspect. It has no beginning or end, and no divisions, making it the perfect symbol of completeness, eternity, and the soul[/quote]
"eternity, and the soul" Guardians can't die because they were given a new soul....
I'll be taking a break for food, but my current conclusion on the data i've found is that the Nine are playing their tricks again. Toying with our lives and our destiny. I think the Traveler is healing more and more, and that this is a foreshadow to her reawakening.
GAMEPLAY SPOILER[spoiler]I Just received my first encrypted patrol mission, it started with kill enemies, then critical kills, then nothing. I threw grenades melee heavy secondary crits, no improvements. But then i thought KHARRIS! i had to go to the Breach and fight him! and thought how awesome a little mission that was. Upon entering i didnt find him, but did get an update to my encryption. It read[quote]?ee?in?s ?x?r?ss??[/quote]
I moved further in. and it updated again![quote]?ee?ings ex?r?ss?d[/quote]
I went all the way back to our original revival point. danced, and it finished. then my ghost said this exactly.[quote]So that's what the message was about. Wait...Could this have been a signal sent by...Nevermind.[/quote]
Sent by...the Traveler?[/spoiler]

just came back to the tower and what do i see? Flowers. The only planter with flowers, and its where this symbol is. This symbol that suggests fertility, and new life, is the only planter with flowers. The stars are aligning Guardians.
Where will you be when the Traveler wakes?

I think you're reaching a bit. Observe the symbol in full before you ascribe meaning to any parts of it. My observations: The symbol is comprised of a number of geometric shapes. The Roman numeral for 9 is above it. If you view it from the side, you can see a violet glow shining out. If you rotate the camera up close, or watch for a minute, you can see what appears to be a shimmering star field. It's the same view, no matter how you rotate the camera. Basically, it appears to be cross dimensional graffiti. What it means, I have no clue. It certainly could be related to the Nine. I'm curious to see if the same symbol, or a similar one, can be found anywhere else, especially on the dreadnought. That's currently the only location that could have a view of deep space like that. Fwiw, the north most planter also has some flowers in it, though they're not nearly as colorful.

1 ReplyWow. Well done. I've been going nuts trying to figure that blasted symbol out. One question though, you mentioned encrypted patrol quests? I've never even heard of them, how do you get it?

If it were xurs locations then why isnt there one by xur?
-
I figured it meant xur had arrived, but I don't know I only started playing 2.0 Friday

Or we can ask bungie what it means maybe?

Tldr plz

Read an article about TTK. It said that there will be things in the world that your ghost can scan and provide lore to you. My best guess it to wait and see if it is scannable in TTK. Nice logic btw.

13 RepliesEdited by Jcaf8: 9/11/2015 11:40:11 PMThe triangle has 3 sides. Xur is 3 letters 3x3 is 9. The nine are what Xur is the agent of. 3-3 is 0. 9 to the power of 0 is 1. There is 1 all seeing eye in the illuminati. Half life 3 confirmed

IX in roman numerals means 9.Xur.

1 ReplyIf the traveller is waking.... doesn't that mean the speaker will lose all his power? And assuming he's human, won't that drive him to evil trying to regain his lost power?! Are we gonna have to put that mask wearing bastard down?!?!

I love this deeply. AnonPig, I hope someday to consider you a FriendPig

This kind of stuff I cherish in gaming communities, seeing the in-depth involvement with small changes and seeing what it all adds up to. Same thing happened with Five Nights at Freddy's, Call of Duty Zombies, Halo mysteries, and myths in the entire series of Grand Theft Auto. I hope to gain the insight of these kinds of things and can uncover mysteries instead of hoping some day a gifted individual comes along and cracks the code faster than I ever could. Props to you good sir.
