"Ghaul is gone, but the hunt for tenebra [?] has just begun."

So I finally got down to listening to the sound files from the PC version of D2. Safe to say that I was VERY confused once I got halfway through. I should bring up that everything I say from here on out should be taken with a grain of salt since Bungie has thrown people off before. The quote is spoken by FWC leader Lakshmi-2. The first half was about Ghaul. Makes sense, he was the main antagonist and he did cause the Traveler to wake up by trying to drain its energy. As we know that Light burst doubled as a signal to the Traveler's enemy... the "Darkness". The second half is the most... intriguing. Hunt? A word is said which really has me thinking. Allow me to copy and paste this: [quote]Noun tenebra f (genitive tenebrae); first declension (in the plural) darkness, shadow, gloom, obscurity quotations ignorance concealment[/quote] So... Either this is a name for the fifth race or just a really fancy way of saying Darkness... yet in an earlier sound clip Lakshmi straight out says Darkness. "I've long predicted Darkness worship, I did not expect the House of Dusk." So now we have 3 concept artwork for the Darkness, an end-credits scene, and now a possible audio file. What's interesting to me is how Rasputin calls the Darkness the Queen of Final Shapes, and tenebra is feminine. I just thought I had to make some kind of connection. [quote]and not one of IT [the flower eater, the queen of final shapes, that which also inhabits its petitioners][/quote] Thoughts?

  • Very interesting, and this has me thinking of the war cult in general. Lakshmi says that they have seen many things in other simulations, some things we’ve never seen before and thus don’t even have names. Could this mean the war cult is somewhat versed on what these triangles could be before their existence is known to our in game characters?
