→The Birth of the Hive
(We should know at this point that the formless one is meant to be the Witness before their name and true identity were revealed. So too the messages of the Darkness, the Darkness does not speak, it’s a neutral force. The Witness is the one that speaks in the Darkness, THAT'S LITERALLY WHY ITS CALLED THE VOICE IN THE DARKNESS) Tag: Mobile edit |

The Witness played a key role in the ascension of the [[Hive]] on [[Fundament]] by telepathically communicating with the young Sathona via her [[Worm]] familiar, telling her that the [[Osmium Court]] was in imminent danger of destruction by a tidal wave generated by a syzygy. In reality, there was no such danger: the Witness merely wanted to claim the [[Hive#Origins|Krill]] as servants of the Darkness before the Traveler could arrive and uplift them along with the [[Ammonite]]s.<ref>'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - [[Quests (Destiny 2)|Quest]]: [[The Witch Queen (Quest)]]: [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/the-witch-queen-step-17 Step 17: Speak with Ikora on Mars]''</ref> | The Witness played a key role in the ascension of the [[Hive]] on [[Fundament]] by telepathically communicating with the young Sathona via her [[Worm]] familiar, telling her that the [[Osmium Court]] was in imminent danger of destruction by a tidal wave generated by a syzygy.

Sometime after the Witness created the Hive, the Darkness-wielding [[Ecumene]] and [[Qugu]] were rendered extinct by them. Their use of the Darkness is not reported in the [[Books of Sorrow]], implying the Witness or [[Oryx, the Taken King]] acting on its behalf excised this fact for going against the philosophy of the Final Shape. This projection of the Witness's will onto the Darkness itself continued in this manner for billions of years, successfully rendering the two indistinguishable from each other to its targets. | |||
