The Traveler and The Darkness battle it out. Last stand. The Traveler unleashed its power against the Pyramid but failed to stop it. Disabling itself. Yet we now know this was not the truth. Savathûn faked The Traveler’s death and hid it from The Darkness. That same moment The Exodus Green was “caught” in the middle and become The Awoken.
She keeps a lot of irons in the fire, our Witch Queen. Maybe we got this all backwards....
A dream of a purely material world, adrift in the true cosmos of Light and Dark...

Edited by KannibalKlown: 9/5/2022 2:14:09 AMWe went for a round in another thread about this. It’s fine if you want a theory about it. Head canon as it were. But in that other thread you said parasite quest confirms your theory. Here are the actual lore cards. Short version. No. Parasite quest only implies Savathun faked the travelers death so the witness would stop killing everyone. And Savathun had nothing to do with awoken creation. Unless you finally found that lore card. They were created by a beam. But by going through a singularity caused by light and dark energy colliding. If Savathun fired a beam it wouldn’t be light. And if she faked the travelers death then it firing a beam after it pretended to die would kind of give away that it was alive. Parasite dialog discussing the Exotic mission https://youtu.be/i25kEEuB9Bo?t=1263 Transcript: [quote][b]Parasite:[/b] Truth you seek. Humanity's collapse. Even the Witness deceived. The Witch Queen did its bidding. Earned its trust. [b]Parasite:[/b] Rode alongside to apocalypse. Watched many burn. But the Witness turned a violent eye to the Traveler. [b]Parasite:[/b] Witch Queen projected lies. Clever deception wrapped in shadow. [b]Parasite:[/b] Tides turned. Witness sent away, back amonst the stars. [b]Ghost:[/b] Are you saying Savathun deceived the Witness? Is she the reason humanity survived? [b]Parasite:[/b] Not [b][u]THE[/u][/b] reason. [b][u]A[/u][/b] reason. Not for humanity, but for Traveler.[/quote] Parasite Lore from Ishtar Collective https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/parasite -------- Conversely, the Awoken were not created because Savathun's energy blast hit their ship. [b]In fact nowhere does it say that Savathun launched an energy wave.[/b] Instead, an Light energy wave and a Dark energy wave collided near their ship and caused a singularity. The ship was on its way to floating inside. Mara was the first one through because she decided to space-walk shortly prior. Since she was the first one in, she essentially became "God" in there and created the world of the Distributary. She had a lot of time to do so due to time dilation and when the rest of the ship got inside THEN they started to become Awoken per the universe she created. [quote]A singularity is forming around her. A kugelblitz: a black hole created by the concentration of raw energy.[/quote] The most important one is here: https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/cosmogyre-iv But the rest: https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/cosmogyre-i https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/cosmogyre-ii https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/cosmogyre-iii Byf's synopsis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTaRfAsSEp0
