'''Pyramids''' are massive and commonly tetrahedral vessels that make up the armada known as the [[Black Fleet]]. | '''Pyramids''' are massive (and commonly seen as) tetrahedral vessels that make up the armada known as the [[Black Fleet]]. | ||

Pyramids appear to vary widely in size, but the ones most commonly seen are nearly twice the size of a [[Fallen]] [[Ketch]]. They all share a simple tetrahedral shape, broken up by lines of yellow-orange lights. They are accompanied by fleets of smaller craft known as [[Pyramid Scale]]s, which are about the size of a [[jumpship]]. Additional small Pyramid-shaped craft can be seen alongside some of the larger Pyramids, seemingly intermediate in size between Pyramid Scales and full-sized Pyramids. | Pyramids appear to vary widely in size, but the ones most commonly seen are nearly twice the size of a [[Fallen]] [[Ketch]].

It is unclear to what degree the Pyramids are merely spacecraft or fully autonomous machine entities analogous to [[The Traveler]]. During ''Season of Arrivals'', the Ghost states that the Pyramid on Io is actually a paracausal being, like the Traveler. However, they also appear to be used as vehicles by the Witness and its Disciples, with the Witness having commanded the Black Fleet from the Pyramid known as [[Essence]], and [[Rhulk]] and [[Nezarec]] having commanded the Sunken and Lunar Pyramids, respectively. It is unknown at this point whether all other Pyramids are home to a single Disciple, or whether some contain armies or are empty of life entirely. | It is unclear to what degree the Pyramids are merely spacecraft or fully autonomous machine entities analogous to the [[The Traveler|the Traveler]].

Inside the Witness's flagship, [[Essence]], it contains a [[Macrocosm|collection of planets and moons]] where the planetary bodies abducted by the Witness can be found and in one of the hidden rooms, fossils of a mollusk and a vertebra of an unknown species can be found. Murals of Earth organisms congregate around a statue of Nezarec. Otherwise, it is the same as most Pyramid architecture the Guardians have explored. | Inside the Witness's flagship, [[Essence]], it contains a [[Macrocosm|collection of planets and moons]] where the planetary bodies abducted by the Witness can be found and in one of the hidden rooms, fossils of a mollusk and a vertebra of an unknown species can be found.

Unlike other Pyramids, the [[The Drowned Pyramid|Drowned Pyramid]] appears as a bare maze with various twists, turns and dead ends, all of which leads to the veiled statue that is used to commune to [[Xivu Arath, God of War|Xivu Arath]]. [[Titan (moon)|Titan]]'s oceans and sands also appear in various regions of the Pyramid as if it were left vacant for some time, enduring the exposure of Titan's crushing methane oceans. | |||
There are also structures that contain Pyramid architecture scattered throughout the world such as those in the [[Exo Challenges]], [[Harvest]], [[Disjunction]], the [[Relic (Mars)|Relic]], the [[Ziggurat]], and [[Metamorphosis]] | There are also structures that contain Pyramid architecture scattered throughout the world such as those in the [[Exo Challenges]], [[Harvest]], [[Disjunction]], the [[Relic (Mars)|Relic]], the [[Ziggurat]], and [[Metamorphosis]] | ||
