Toland and the Darkness

I was thinking about Toland today and remembered this Grimoire Card from The Dark Below which I think might have a whole new meaning with the taken king [quote]Eris: And how do you know this? Toland: It was told to me. Eris: By the Speaker? Toland: By the Darkness itself. [/quote] -Might of Crota Grimoire Card Toland flat out says that he has communicated directly with the Darkness, which we learn in the Book of Sorrows is kind of a big deal [quote]Auryx the First Navigator set upon his god with his sword and his words, and cut Akka to pieces, and took from those pieces the secret of calling upon the Deep. He wrote this secret on a set of tablets, which he called the Tablets of Ruin. And he wore them about his waist. Then Auryx said, “Now I may speak to the Deep, the beautiful final shape. I will be King of Shapes. I will learn all the secrets of our destiny.”[/quote] - Book of Sorrow Verse 3:8 - King of Shapes As seen here Oryx had to kill Akka, a worm god to be able to communicate with the Dark, so how has Toland been able to apparently do the same? If he was speaking the truth and not exaggerating his potential might be far greater than we ever thought possible.

  • Your very good question inspired me to come up with an answer, but that answer is pretty crazy: [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/185762969/0/0]The High War Conspiracy: Toland, Verok, Alak-Hul, & Crota[/url] I have a feeling that the writers just sort of decided to make communicating with the Darkness this huge deal in the Books of Sorrow, and completely forgot that Toland could do it.
