The origins of the Black Garden are largely unknown; however, it bears many similarities to an allegorical description of the primordial state of reality, itself described as a "[[garden]]", in which the Winnower and the Gardener existed before the universe began. It is unclear whether the two locations are the same; however, [[Eris Morn]] writes of a [[Tree of Silver Wings]] that was felled in the Black Garden, which would seem to suggest that she believes the Black Garden to indeed be the same as the primordial garden that gave rise to the universe. | The origins of the Black Garden are largely unknown; however, it bears many similarities to an allegorical description of the primordial state of reality, itself described as a "[[garden]]", in which the Winnower and the Gardener existed before the universe began.

At some point, the Vex collective known as the Sol Divisive came to reside within the Black Garden, transforming it with their architecture and machinery.

When the Guardian ventures into [[the Lunar Pyramid]], the Witness takes possession of their [[The Ghost|Ghost]] and leads them to a spherical, [[Unknown Artifact|unknown artifact]]. Upon interacting with the artifact, they are subjected to a vision within the Black Garden, wherein the Witness, taking the form of the Guardian's doppelganger, speaks to them directly. Stating that they have "heard [their] cries for help" and would soon answer, the Witness identified themselves not as the Guardian's friend nor enemy, but rather their "salvation". | When the Guardian ventures into [[The Lunar Pyramid|the Lunar Pyramid]], the Witness takes possession of their [[The Ghost|Ghost]] and leads them to a spherical, [[Unknown Artifact|unknown artifact]].

After bringing the artifact back to [[Eris Morn]], it begins transmitting a signal that leads to the Black Garden. A fireteam of Guardians then enter the Black Garden via a newly-discovered portal on the moon, faced the [[Consecrated Mind, Sol Inherent|Consecrated Mind]] in a labyrinth, and defeated the Sanctified Mind after it was found communing with a [[Pyramid Scale]] sighted at the garden. At the end of their journey, the fireteam traced their signal to a veiled statue identical to the one aboard the Luna Pyramid, which unlocked direct communication with the [[Darkness]] through the artifact. | After bringing the artifact back to [[Eris Morn]], it begins transmitting a signal that leads to the Black Garden.

When the Guardian, [[Osiris]], and [[Nimbus]] learned about the Black Heart’s origins, they planned to enter the Garden to learn more. The Witness would order the Sol Divisive to destroy the Conceptual Mind due to the intel it held, but they would refuse. The Witness would send the Taken to destroy the Conceptual Mind instead, leading to the Vex and Taken engaging in conflict. The Guardian would enter the Garden, with Nimbus entering shortly after, both of them quickly discovering the Taken presence. After convincing Nimbus to return to [[Neomuna]] and to do their duty as a Cloud Strider, the Guardian would destroy the Conceptual Mind, receiving its memory core and the information it held. Osiris discovers the information the memory core held as their investigation of the Veil concludes, where the Black Heart was used to | When the Guardian, [[Osiris]], and [[Nimbus]] learned about the Black Heart’s origins, they planned to enter the Garden to learn more.
