I started reading The Books of Sorrow for the first time
Well I've decided to catch up on the lore in preparation for Witch Queen since I never had the chance to play D1, and holy crap so much makes sense. Like I knew the broad strokes of it all but some of the little details, this stuff was foreshadowed insanely early on and there's some really interesting connections there. Reading this caused so much to click, it was like my third eye opened and I could see the very secrets of the lore itself. So we find out that the Hive homeworld of Fundament wasn't their original Homeworld and that they came there on the fragment of some other moon or planet that drifted to it. There were hundreds of other species living there too. In Unraveling we learn that the light and dark played a game on an Infinite grid with flowers and the game always ended with one species of flowers wiping out the others and preventing others from existing. Fundament is that Grid. Maybe not in the literal sense since the entire Destiny universe is likely the grid in a literal sense, but both the grid and Fundament have one species rise up and wipe out all others as a demonstration/inbodiment of the Darkness. Heck we see that both the Leviathan and Worm God's are there, and they seem to work for their respective entities almost directly signifying Fundaments importance. The Light and Dark likely seeded Fundament and set it up to be the way that it is as the ultimate demonstration of their respective ideologies, at least before Earth and the Guardians came into the picture. Leviathan even has that line about the Hive being his hope for proof of the Light being right. Anyway with that out of the way, the Needle Ship is probably a Pyramid or a variant of it. It's likely to slender to be the Pyramids or a main one but it seems to be connected to the Darkness in some way. The worm led the Hive God's there and then used it to go find the Worm Gods. I think that the "monstrosity in the birthing room" whatever that is, is going to be the ancient evil we fight in the Witch Queen raid. We don't know anything about what it is outside of the fact that the Hive Gods really didn't like it. And if the Needle Ship is a Pyramid then it would be connected to the Darkness as well. Its also possible that every Pyramid ship has a one or a similar entity and that's what we're fighting.

5 Replies1. Paragraphs, please. Reading walls of text like that give people headaches, and most people won't do it. 2. The Books of Sorrow are about the Hive, written from the perspective of the Hive....and like most writings done by evil-doers...its main goal is to rationalize why they did what they did. The only thing that can be reliably taken form the events on Fundament is that the conflict between Light and Dark has been raging for lone before the advent of the Hive, and perhaps to the very origins of this Universe itself. 3. About the Hive, what the Book of Sorrows show is that of the Faustian or Devil's Bargain. Be wary of anyone who offers you power for little effort....or offers you something that sounds too good to be true. Because it usually IS....and there is almost always a HOOK in the bait that's being offered. The problem is that Sisters were so blinded by their hatred, their desire for revenge...and the possibility of seeming immortality....that they took the bait and didn't ask any questions. Effectively selling themselves and their entire race into slavery. Like Devil's Bargains or most wish-granting entities, what started out looking like a blessing, eventually shows itself to be a curse. 4. I don't think the raid boss is going to be any major Entity with the "Black Flee". I think the most likely candidate is Xivu Arath. If we are successful in separating Savathun from her worm, than Xivu Arath will be the last of the original Sisters still in service to the Darkness and the Worm Gods. If it isn't her, then my next bet is that its one of the Worm Gods....but I don't expect anyone "higher up the food chain" than these.
