'''The Traveler''' is a mysterious spherical [[paracausality|paracausal]] entity associated with the [[Light]]. Massive in scale, it hangs motionless in the skies above the [[Last City]] built in its shadow. Once responsible for terraforming the worlds of the [[Sol System]], it was rendered largely inactive during the [[Collapse]], when its [[Black Fleet|ancient enemy]] arrived and launched a devastating assault on human civilization. | |||

==History== | |||
===The Ancient Past=== | |||
The origins of the Traveler are unknown, although it is known to have existed for billions of years. In one of her messages to the Guardian through Sloane, Ahsa makes reference to "''two halves of a whole, long divided''," which in context seems to suggest that the Traveler and [[The Veil|the Veil]] were once part of a single entity, or at least share a common origin. | |||
As revealed by [[Ahsa]], billions of years ago the Traveler lay dormant and half-buried on a desolate planet, where it was discovered by a humanoid species. It then awakened, either of its own accord or as a result of the species' actions, and proceeded to terraform the planet and bestow paracausal gifts to its discoverers, much as it would later do with many other species. This brought about a golden age for the species that lasted millions of years. The civilization worshipped the Traveler as a deity, calling it "The Gardener". | |||
Although the Traveler brought the civilization great prosperity, it never made any attempt to communicate or impart wisdom or guidance. As a result, the society began to crave meaning, and sought to find something that would bring order and purpose to an otherwise open-ended existence. In their studies of the Traveler, they also came to view the [[Light]] as a fundamentally capricious and chaotic force, equally capable of bringing life or death with no ultimate justification for either. | |||
== | At some point, the species discovered that the Traveler had a counterpart entity, located in a distant star system. They named this entity the Veil, and determined that it was a source of power that was the opposite of the Light, one linked to the mind and consciousness rather than the physical world: the [[Darkness]]. In studying the Darkness, they discovered that it held the means to guide the universe into a perfected, eternal form, a "[[Final Shape]]" that would last to the end of time and beyond. In this, they found the purpose they had sought for so long. | ||
=== | |||
In order to achieve their goal, the civilization determined that they needed to bring the Traveler and the Veil into close proximity, strengthening their connection and in so doing granting them the ability to alter reality itself. They set out to locate and retrieve the Veil, and brought it back to their homeworld so that they could form a link between it and the Traveler. | |||
However, the Traveler was apparently unwilling to allow this outcome, and responded by leaving the planet and fleeing into the distant reaches of space. Unwilling to abandon their quest, the civilization used the Darkness to bind their consciousnesses together, merging themselves into a single, unfathomably powerful entity: the Witness. | |||
Empowered by the Darkness and commanding a fleet of pyramidal ships, the Witness left its world behind and began a crusade to find the Traveler and unite it with the Veil, and in doing so bring about the Final Shape.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GN7QkdWMV18&t=626s</ref> | |||
===Lubrae=== | |||
Billions of years ago, the Traveler visited the [[Lubraean]]s and uplifted their civilization. However, it eventually left, and the Lubraean civilization gradually descended into a military dictatorship restricted to a single city, with those who rejected the regime wandering the wilderness as nomads.<ref>'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Shattered Suns#Provoked|Shattered Suns: Provoked]]''</ref> | |||
===The Rise of the Hive=== | |||
Some time after visiting Lubrae, the Traveler visited the system of the gas giant planet Fundament, where it uplifted a species known as the Ammonite who lived on one of Fundament's 52 moons.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books of Sorrow#XIV: 52 and One|XIV: 52 and One]]''</ref> Following this, it sought to uplift a primitive species known as the [[Hive|Krill]] that resided on a floating continent in Fundament's planet-wide ocean. However, the Witness sought to use the Krill for its own purposes, and by manipulating a young female Krill, Sathona, through her dead Worm familiar, it led her and her two sisters to find the Worm Gods imprisoned within the planet's core- an event which would lead to the Krill becoming the [[Hive]]. The Traveler subsequently fled Fundament's system, leaving the Ammonite to die at the hands of the Hive. | |||
Later on, the Hive would also encounter and defeat the [[Harmony]], another civilization uplifted by the Traveler.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books of Sorrow#XLV: I'd shut them all in cells.|XLV: I'd shut them all in cells.]]''</ref> | |||
===Riis and The Whirlwind=== | |||
The Traveler visited the planet [[Riis]] at some point before coming to the [[Sol System]], uplifting the [[Eliksni]] species. Unfortunately, as with every world visited by the Traveler, Riis was attacked by the Black Fleet, as well as possibly Oryx's Hive.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, Item Description: [[Doom of Chelchis]]''</ref> As it had many times before, the Traveler fled, leaving the Eliksni at the mercy of the Black Fleet as their civilization was destroyed. This event became known in Eliksni history as the Whirlwind. | |||

According to the poem ''[[Dreams of Alpha Lupi]]'', during its journey between systems, it detected a "face" emerging from the Sun, later hearing a roar that contained something that it described as "a lucid melody". The Traveler felt joy, as it felt "the first hope in ages transform [it]," and it resolved to become strong enough to fight the Darkness.<ref name = "TravelerGhostEarth">'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies#Ghost_Fragment:_Earth|Ghost Fragment: Earth]]''</ref> Although the meaning behind the poem is unclear, it appears the Traveler chose to visit Earth for a reason. | |||
The Traveler first came to human attention when it appeared around [[Jupiter]] and terraformed two of its moons. Initially dubbed "Moon X", it quickly became the center of international attention. After finishing its work on Jupiter, it vanished for fourteen months, reappeared to terraform [[Mercury]], vanished again for seven months, and then appeared again to terraform [[Venus]].<ref>'''Bungie (2018/8/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Hardy%27s_Armor#Hardy.27s_Journey|Hardy's Journey]]''</ref> Questions about the identity of Moon X abounded, and cults worshiping it emerged, some of which fell into conflict.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/8/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Hardy%27s_Armor#Hardy.27s_Calm|Hardy's Calm]]''</ref> Other cults held demonstrations calling for the unification of Earth's governments.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/8/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Qiao%27s_Armor#Qiao.27s_Strides|Qiao's Strides]]''</ref> | The Traveler first came to human attention when it appeared around [[Jupiter]] and terraformed two of its moons.

Some time later | Some time later, the [[Black Fleet]] appeared in the Sol System, leading to the destruction of almost all human civilization in an event known as the [[Collapse]].<ref name = jasonjones>[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2013/12/11/jason-jones-the-destiny-interview.aspx?PostPageIndex=2 '''Gameinformer''': ''Jason Jones – The Destiny Interview'']</ref> For the first time, the Traveler decided to stand and fight the Black Fleet,<ref name = "jasonjones"/> as it abandoned its work on [[Io]] and raced to rescue its "children", humanity.<ref name = "TravelerGhost"/> | ||
The exact timeline of events during the Collapse remains unclear, but it is known that the Traveler made a final stand against the Black Fleet, incurring severe damage in the process. During the battle, it managed to project a beam of Light into the far reaches of the system to protect the Exodus Colony Ship ''Yang Liwei'' from the Black Fleet, resulting in the ship being swallowed by a kugelblitz generated from the conflict between Light and Darkness. | |||
The Black Fleet subsequently withdrew after the Witness was tricked by [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen]] into calling off the attack, with Savathûn having killed the [[Disciples of the Witness|Disciple]] [[Nezarec]] and hidden the [[the Veil|Veil]], a mysterious paracausal entity evidently key to the Witness' plans, away on Neptune. After the battle was over, the Traveler remained floating a relatively short distance above the Earth's surface, seemingly dormant, having apparently been stripped of its senses and "flesh" and made blind, deaf and mute to the outside world. <ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies#Ghost_Fragment:_The_Traveler_3|Ghost Fragment: The Traveler 3]]''</ref> | |||
As humanity struggled to rebuild itself from these events, the crippled Traveler gifted its protection and powers to the recovering humans. Although the times after the war were difficult, humanity persevered and with the help of this celestial guardian, and the humans eventually began to re-explore their terrestrial and solar domain.<ref>'''Game Informer January 2014''', ''page 52''</ref> | |||

Over time, the people of the early City formed factions, dividing it and marking the beginning of the [[Faction Wars]], which threatened to bring the City to its knees. It was during this time that a new generation of Lightbearers known as [[Guardian]]s emerged, taking a stand to end the fighting to focus on the outside alien threats.<ref name="RABTW">'''Bungie (2014/12/10)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies/Legends & Mysteries#Rezyl Azzir - Before These Walls|Rezyl Azzir - Before These Walls]]''</ref> | ||
Eventually, a lone Guardian embarked on a quest that would help the Traveler slowly restore its power, first by stopping a [[Hive]] ritual in the [[Chamber of Night]] that was siphoning Light from the Traveler, and then destroying the [[Black Heart|heart]] of the [[Black Garden]].<ref name = "Destiny">'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard''</ref> After these events, the Traveler remained seemingly catatonic, showing no outward signs of activity. | |||

During the events of [[The Witch Queen]], [[The Guardian]] discovers that the Traveler | During the events of [[The Witch Queen]], [[The Guardian]] discovers that the Traveler, seemingly intentionally, chose to grant the Light to [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen]] and her [[Lucent Brood]] for an unknown purpose. Through usage of the [[Relic]] on Mars, it is learned that [[The Witness]] tricked the Hive into becoming its servants to avoid them being uplifted by the Traveler itself, like what occurred with many other civilizations. As a method of protecting the Traveler from destruction, the Light-bearing Savathûn attempted a ritual to bring the Traveler into her throne world, after which she would seal off entry for all beings. Despite succeeding in drawing the Traveler in, Savathûn is defeated at her own game and the spell is broken, causing the Traveler to return to the Last City's sky. Whether it truly wished to be brought to the throne world, wishing for the Hive to supplant the Humans, Exo, and Awoken as its Guardians, and if it even purposely chose the Hive, is still unknown. | ||
At some point during these events, the [[Disciples of the Witness|Disciple of the Witness]] [[Rhulk]] had the Scorn under his command bring him a [[Ghost]] for study. His efforts were thwarted by the Traveler, who took direct control of the Ghost and rebuked Rhulk before causing the Ghost to explode. | |||

After the loss of the Warsat Network, the Witness and its Black Fleet moved on the Traveler. Alongside the Vanguard fleet, the Traveler attempted to defend itself by firing a beam of Light at the Witness' Pyramid, causing paracausal flora to sprout over the Pyramid's surface, but this did not hinder the Witness as it left its Pyramid behind and floated out through empty space to meet the Traveler directly, destroying any enemy vessel that attempted to stop it. Eight other Pyramids | After the loss of the Warsat Network, the Witness and its Black Fleet moved on the Traveler. Alongside the Vanguard fleet, the Traveler attempted to defend itself by firing a beam of Light at the Witness' Pyramid, causing paracausal flora to sprout over the Pyramid's surface, but this did not hinder the Witness as it left its Pyramid behind and floated out through empty space to meet the Traveler directly, effortlessly destroying any enemy vessel that attempted to stop it. Eight other Pyramids took up a formation around the Traveler resembling an eight-pointed star. The Witness attempted to open a gateway using the Traveler, but was denied before seeing a vision of [[Neptune]] where the means it needed to create its gateway, [[The Veil]], was located, sending its Disciple, [[Calus]] and his [[Shadow Legion]], to acquire it. | ||
Despite the efforts of the Guardian, Osiris and the Cloud Striders in slaying Calus, The Witness nonetheless won in acquiring The Veil, allowing it establish a connection with the Traveler and open a gateway by inscribing a triangle on the surface of the Traveler. This | Despite the efforts of the Guardian, Osiris and the Cloud Striders in slaying Calus, The Witness nonetheless won in acquiring The Veil, allowing it to establish a connection with the Traveler and open a gateway by inscribing a triangle on the surface of the Traveler. This opened a triangular portal, which absorbed several Pyramids before The Witness entered, leaving the Vanguard and their allies confused and dismayed. | ||
Exactly what this outcome means for the Traveler remains unclear; the Guardians still have access to their Light-based abilities, but their Ghosts feel a sense of emptiness where the Traveler used to be. The Vanguard regards the Traveler as having been lost, but its physical form remains in orbit around Earth, with the giant triangular portal having stayed open after the Witness passed through. | Exactly what this outcome means for the Traveler remains unclear; the Guardians still have access to their Light-based abilities, but their Ghosts feel a sense of emptiness where the Traveler used to be.

Later during the [[Clash of the Hive Gods]], Immaru claims that he can still sense the Traveler within his light but differently. He describes it as a sense of desperation, tension, and terror. He also claims that The Witness is doing something terrible to it, describing the Traveler as a god screaming for help. Whether his claims have any truth remains to be seen. | |||
