Pyramid: Difference between revisions

Voices have contacted [[The Guardian]] when near the Pyramids on Luna, Io, and Europa; in all cases, these voices have spoken through the Guardian's Ghost. The Ghost refers to the unknown speakers as 'The ones who spoke through me' rather than referencing the Pyramids directly. These voices may belong to the [[The Witness|Witness]] or its [[Disciples]], or are possibly the voices of the Pyramids themselves.

The architecture of the Pyramids tends to be minimalist and geometric in overall shape, but with many intricate details and a variety of construction materials. The atmosphere inside is generally oppressive and foreboding; dark hallways illuminated by scant red and white lights and veiled by a faint mist connect various chambers ranging from a large entryway overlooking a blinding white pit to smaller rooms adorned with murals. Most distinctive of all is a chamber atop a vast staircase that hosts a massive sculpture of what appeared to resemble a veiled humanoid figure. An identical chamber was also found within the Europan Pyramid, perhaps indicating that all Pyramids contain such a room. The significance of these statues remains unclear. Although the Lunar Pyramid had been left buried beneath the surface of Luna for many centuries, if not millennia, numerous sounds can be heard within its walls including harsh whispers, an ever-present hum of machinery, and distant howls.

The [[Sunken Pyramid]] within [[Savathûn's Throne World]] seems to display a degree of personalization based on the aesthetic desires of its resident, the Disciple [[Rhulk, Disciple of the Witness|Rhulk]]. Many walls are adorned with murals or seemingly abstract colored shapes, some of which are explicitly representational and others whose purpose or meaning, if any, is unknown. Rhulk also has placed a number of displays throughout his domain, including a pedestal supporting a rib bone from the [[Leviathan (creature)|Leviathan]] of [[Fundament]], which he personally removed from the beast during their confrontation. It is unknown whether all Pyramids display this level of customization.

As discovered by [[Asher Mir]] through his experimentation, Pyramids have a defensive mechanism where incoming projectiles appear to simply disappear on the point of impact, while still physically existing in some form. This defense also seems to suppress electromagnetic radiation to a degree, requiring a fully equipped relay system to remain detectable from the outside.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/6/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Arrivals]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard'', [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Duress_and_Egress#Asher:_Observation|Duress and Egress]]''</ref>
