The Collapse was long believed by the [[Vanguard]] and the people of the [[Last City]] to have been caused by the Darkness itself. In reality, it was brought about by the [[Black Fleet]], led by the [[The Witness|Witness]] and its [[Disciples of the Witness|Disciples]], who wielded the Darkness against humanity and the [[Traveler]]. | The Collapse was long believed by the [[Vanguard]] and the people of the [[Last City]] to have been caused by the Darkness itself. In reality, it was brought about by the [[Black Fleet]], led by the [[The Witness|Witness]] and its [[Disciples of the Witness|Disciples]], who wielded the Darkness against humanity and the [[Traveler]]. During the Collapse, the colony ship ''[[Yang Liwei]]'' (call sign [[Exodus Green]]), was ensnared by the Darkness projected by the Black Fleet as it attempted to escape the Solar System, but was "rescued" by the Traveler projecting a beam of Light to push back the Darkness, which in turn generated a kugelblitz that swallowed the ''Yang Liwei'' and transported it and its occupants to a [[Distributary|new universe]]. | ||

Centuries after the Collapse, a lone [[The Guardian|Guardian]] encountered the [[Exo Stranger]] on [[Venus]], and was subsequently sent on a quest to find the [[Black Garden]]. After battling through the [[Sol Divisive]] [[Vex]] and reaching the center of the Garden, the Guardian discovered an entity, the [[Black Heart]], that the Vex seemed to revere as an object of worship. The entity could not attack the Guardian directly, but attempted to defend itself by taking control of the [[Sol Progeny]], three enormous Vex Minotaurs.

Following the battle in the Black Garden, Ikora Rey hypothesized that the Black Heart had been an aspect of the Darkness itself. It would not be until much later that it was revealed to in fact be an attempt by the [[Sol Divisive]] to replicate the [[The Veil|Veil]], an equally mysterious paracausal entity associated with both the Darkness and the Traveler. | Following the battle in the Black Garden, Ikora Rey hypothesized that the Black Heart had been an aspect of the Darkness itself.

Following the Witness extracting the location of the [[the Veil|Veil]] from the Traveler, Osiris and the Guardian followed Calus and his Shadow Legion to Neptune, where they found the hidden city of Neomuna. Upon touching down in the city, they immediately noticed strands of green energy permeating the local environment, which they discovered to be a new elemental manifestation of Darkness known as [[Strand]]. The concentration of Strand energy in the city was a result of the presence of the Veil, itself a powerful paracausal entity seemingly associated with the Darkness. | Following the Witness extracting the location of the [[the Veil|Veil]] from the Traveler, Osiris and the Guardian followed Calus and his Shadow Legion to Neptune, where they found the hidden city of Neomuna.
