As a method of destruction, natural disasters tore across the solar system, eliminating populations<ref>https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/severing#book-constellations</ref>. On Titan in particular, a gravitational anomaly formed and deformed the shape of the moon, stretching it to the shape of an egg <ref>https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/kalkis-burning-sword-part-ii#book-last-days-on-kraken-mare</ref>. When this anomaly disappeared, the moon rebounded to its original shape, causing devastating methane tidal waves to wash the surface of the planet, shattering the arcologies. In what records exist, there is no army of Darkness beings committing the cataclysm, only reports of inexplicable destruction through anomalous environmental behavior. | As a method of destruction, natural disasters tore across the solar system, eliminating populations<ref>https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/severing#book-constellations</ref>.

In myths extending from time, it is said the Traveler let off a huge pulse of energy, driving back all Darkness forces to the outer reaches of the system. With this, the Traveler had expended itself a great deal, suffering damage, and inflicting on itself a state of torpor. Despite popular belief, the Traveler did not appear to solely prevent the Black Fleet from completely annihilating humanity. Recent revelations have revealed that [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen]] was a major reason behind the forces of the Darkness leaving the Sol System inner regions during the Collapse<ref>https://youtu.be/9kkoxMXm2Ew?t=906</ref>. The Witch Queen | In myths extending from time, it is said the Traveler let off a huge pulse of energy, driving back all Darkness forces to the outer reaches of the system. With this, the Traveler had expended itself a great deal, suffering damage, and inflicting on itself a state of torpor. Despite popular belief, the Traveler did not appear to solely prevent the Black Fleet from completely annihilating humanity. Recent revelations have revealed that [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen]] was a major reason behind the forces of the Darkness leaving the Sol System inner regions during the Collapse<ref>https://youtu.be/9kkoxMXm2Ew?t=906</ref>. The Witch Queen's former worm informed the Guardian and Mara Sov that she used clever deceptions to prevent the Witness from destroying the Traveler. It is also theorized that something else forced the Traveler to stay to protect humanity, preventing it from running as it had done with other races before. This is evidenced in the LOKI CROWN programming for Rasputin, where it would aim to keep the Traveler on Earth, using any force necessary<ref>https://www.destinypedia.com/Grimoire:Allies/Rasputin#Ghost_Fragment:_Rasputin_5</ref>. With this information, it could be inferred that Rasputin attacked the Traveler, causing damage to the being, explaining the giant shard present in the EDZ. However, despite this information, much of the actual events of the Collapse remain largely unknown. | ||
What is known is that after the Black Fleet was pushed back, the Traveler released countless Ghosts. These small beings would go on to find their chosen ones, imbuing them with the gift of Light. After this, the Traveler entered a comatose state while humanity entered the [[Dark Age]]. | What is known is that after the Black Fleet was pushed back, the Traveler released countless Ghosts.
