The '''Black Heart''' | The '''Black Heart''' is a mysterious entity associated with the [[Darkness]], worshipped by the [[Sol Divisive]] [[Vex]] as a god within the [[Black Garden]]. | ||

The Black Heart | The nature and purpose of the Black Heart remain shrouded in mystery. According to [[Rohan]], a [[Cloud Strider]] of [[Neomuna]] who once infiltrated the Black Garden, the Heart was created by the [[Conceptual Mind]] of the [[Sol Divisive]] in an effort to replicate [[the Veil]], a powerful Darkness-affiliated entity linked to the Traveler. However, they were ultimately unsuccessful, with the Black Heart being a failed copy that lacked the full powers of the Veil. | ||
The | The Black Heart is of central importance to the [[Sol Divisive]], who worship it as a deity, even remaking themselves in its image.<ref name="Axis">'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Vex_Axis_Minds#Sol_Progeny|Sol Progeny]]''</ref> It resembles a massive, floating globule of chaotic fluid, with crackling energy emanating from it.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard''</ref> When in danger, the Heart summons its vessels, the [[Sol Progeny]], to defend itself.<ref name="Axis"/> | ||
In a conversation with [[Commander Zavala]], [[Ikora Rey]] hypothesized that the Black Heart was a being so beyond comprehension that even the Vex saw no logical option other than worship it.<ref>'''[http://ishtar-collective.net ishtar-collective.net]''', ''[[Grimoire]]: [[Sol Divisive]]''</ref> However, the abomination was too weak to summon all three Sol Progeny at once, and the fact that it needed to summon them in the first place meant that it was vulnerable. Nonetheless, she asserted it must have been a mere portion of a greater power, probably even a fragment.<ref name="Axis"/> | |||
The [[Awoken]] of the [[Reef]] have long been aware that the Black Garden had a heart, although they weren't certain what it actually was. [[Uldren Sov]] speculated it was ''"a seed left behind to grow"'', or a baited ''"tripwire"'' existing solely to be destroyed, alerting its creator that the Traveler had reached some critical stage in its recovery.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:The_Forsaken_Prince#After_the_Heart_.7C_Part_I|After the Heart | Part II]]''</ref> | |||
