Darkness

The Darkness is the powerful, ancient enemy of the Traveler, tracking it through the cosmos. Centuries ago, it swept through the Solar System, devastating human civilization in an event called the Collapse. Only due to the Traveler's intervention did humanity survive.

Seven centuries later, the Darkness was set to return. The Fallen, Vex, Hive, and Cabal are linked to this force. Hive Wizards call upon the Darkness for their powers.
