The '''Valence''' is a massive aurora of [[Light]] and [[Darkness]] that is venting from the [[The Traveler|Traveler]] into space above [[Earth]] after the [[The Witness|Witness]]' [[Excision|defeat]] in the [[The Pale Heart|Pale Heart]].

==Overview==
After the defeat of The Witness, an aurora of Light and Darkness began pouring out from The Traveler over Earth, with the [[The Coalition|Coalition]] designating a no-fly zone within 100 kilometers to ensure no incidents occur.<ref>'''Bungie (2024/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Final Shape]] - [[Excision]]''</ref> Sometime following the Valence's creation, three [[Echo (object)|Echoes]] of the Witness' memories and power were launched from the Traveler: the [[Echo of Command]], [[Echo of Riis]], and [[Echo of Navigation]].

While the Vanguard was handling the situation with the final Echo, the Valence began to grow dim. [[Ikora Rey]] suspected no more Echoes would come from it as a result.<ref>'''Bungie (2025/2/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Episode: Heresy]] - Item Description: [[Anamnesis#Lore|Anamnesis]]''</ref>

==Trivia==
*The term "valence" generally refers to the potential for something to combine with something else; for example, the electrons which allow atoms of a given element to form chemical bonds are known as "valence electrons". In this context, the term may refer to the Valence's nature as a phenomenon made of combined Light and Darkness.
