| |
|
| |
| The '''Traveler''' is a mysterious spherical entity floating above [[Earth]]. Massive in scale, it hangs motionless in the skies above [[the Last City]] built in its shadow. The Traveler protects the remnants of [[human|humanity]] from the continuous onslaught of the [[Darkness]] bent on humanity's eradication by projecting a shield around the City,<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/en-us/destiny#page=story&panel=story-The-City '''Bungie''': ''Destiny story: The City'']</ref> and gifts the [[Guardians]] with ancient and mysterious powers.<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies/The_Traveler#The_Traveler|The Traveler]]''</ref>
| |
|
| |
| Throughout the events of ''[[Destiny]]'' the Traveler remained comatose despite the [[Guardians]]' efforts at reviving it. During the [[Age of Triumph]] it seemed to get stronger as Guardians were noted to be more powerful than before. Nonetheless it was captured at the start of ''[[Destiny 2]]'' by the [[Cabal]] [[Red Legion]] and taken from humanity, weakening [[Guardians]] severely, only to reawaken after countless millennia to smite its leader [[Dominus Ghaul]] and putting an end to the [[Red War]].

| |
| ==Overview==
| |
| The Traveler's outer surface is made of [[wikipedia:Neutronium|Neutronium]] and "Electroweak matter", both hypothetical materials;<ref name = "TravelerGhost">'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies#Ghost_Fragment:_The_Traveler|Ghost Fragment: The Traveler]]''</ref> the former is believed to make up [[wikipedia:Neutron_Star|Neutron Stars]], and the latter is based on a [[wikipedia:Electroweak_epoch|fundamental force]] that hasn't existed since the dawn of time.

| ==History==
| |
| [[File:Destiny PS4 reveal location pic 1.png|thumb|350px|The Traveler hovering in place over the Last City]]
| |
| The origins or nature of the Traveler is not clear to anyone. However, some information can be gleaned from the poem known as [[Dreams of Alpha Lupi]]. Based on this work, it appears that the Traveler chose Earth and humanity for a reason; 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>
| |
|
| |
| The Traveler exists to help other worlds, but has never wished to be worshiped as a God, nor made its presence known any more than necessary to cultivate a civilization. When its work was finished, it would simply leave without fanfare.<ref name>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies/The_Traveler#Ghost_Fragment:_The_Traveler_2|Ghost Fragment: The Traveler 2]]''</ref> It would seem then that its defense of humanity was an extraordinary act in extenuated circumstances.<ref name = "TravelerGhost"/>
| |
|
| |
| ===Early History===
| |
| [[Saint-14]] suggested that the Traveler had previously visited other species before finding humanity.<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies#Darkness|Darkness]]''</ref> The [[Fallen]] civilization in particular once hosted the Traveler, which they named the Great Machine.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies/Legends & Mysteries#Mystery: Vault of Glass]]''</ref> However, it left their system around the time of the [[Whirlwind]].<ref name = "GI">[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2015/08/24/what-s-going-on-in-destiny-s-story-anyway.aspx?PostPageIndex=2" '''Gameinformer''': What’s Going On In Destiny’s Story, Anyway?]</ref> Other than the likely involvement of the Hive,<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, Item Description, [[Doom of Chelchis]]''</ref> little is known about this event, though it is thought to be similar to humanity's Collapse. After the destruction of their homeworld, the Fallen went in search of the Great Machine, leading them to the Sol System. All of their previous conflicts with humanity have been attempts to claim the Traveler for themselves, in an effort to prevent the destruction of their race.<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies#Variks, The Loyal|Variks, The Loyal]]''</ref>
| |
|
| |
| Other species the Traveler has also uplifted include the [[Ammonite]]s and the [[Harmony]]. The [[Cabal]] are aware of the Traveler's existence and nature, with some indications that they knew of it from other species. [[Ghaul]] in particular wants to receive the same power as the Guardians, believing himself to be more worthy.<ref name="Destiny 2 Gameplay Premiere Livestream (US)">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cABc0fmZQ6E '''YouTube''' - ''Destiny 2 – “Gameplay Premiere Livestream (US)"'']</ref>
| |
|
| |
| The [[Hive]] uniquely hold the Traveler in special contempt, as it embodies the antithesis of their culture and society. One of the objectives of their crusade is to hunt down and destroy the Traveler once and for all.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books_of_Sorrow#XXXVI:_Eater_of_Hope]]''</ref>
| |
|
| |
| ===Events of ''Destiny''===
| |
| When the Traveler first arrived to the solar system, it first visited [[Jupiter]], [[Mercury]] and [[Venus]], drawing humanity's attention. By the time [[Ares One]] landed on [[Mars]],<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Guardian#Ghost_Fragment:Humans|Ghost Fragment: Humans]]''</ref> the Traveler had brought the first rain to the desert planet.<ref>[http://www.destinythegame.com/au/en/game/story '''Bungie''' ''Destiny Story'']</ref><ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIxxsw7TNd4&feature=youtu.be '''YouTube''' - ''Destiny: Official E3 Gameplay Experience Trailer'']</ref> It helped humanity expand across the solar system, teaching humans new technologies, helping them terraform planets and leading humanity into a [[Golden Age]].
| |
|
| |
| Some time later, the Traveler's enemy, the [[Darkness]], appeared in the solar 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 Darkness,<ref name = "GI"/> as it abandoned its work on [[Io]] and raced to rescue its "children", humanity.<ref name = "TravelerGhost"/> At the end of the wars that terminated the Golden Age, the Traveler, in its sacrificial last gift to humanity, came to rest over a small area of the now wasted human planet. The Traveler lays dormant now, apparently stripped of its senses and "flesh" by the Darkness, 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 object 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> In its last breath, the Traveler created the [[Ghost]]s, to seek out those who can wield its [[light]] as a weapon. The Ghosts revived fallen warriors as [[Guardian]]s, protecting humanity when the Traveler no longer could.<ref name = "GrimoireGhosts">'''Bungie (2014-6-12)''', ''Destiny: Alpha PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Guardian#Ghosts|Ghosts]]''</ref>
| |
|
| |
| The remnants of humanity built the City beneath the resting place of the Traveler, where they were safe from the continuous onslaught of various alien races such as the [[Cabal]] and the [[Fallen]]. This city rests in the shade of the great sphere, built under its protective aura as a last bastion of humanity. The Guardians are destined to protect this city and its inhabitants, and as such are gifted with some of the magnificent powers of the Traveler.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwOUi4JDC4o '''YouTube''': ''Reveal Trailer - Official Destiny ViDoc: Pathways Out of Darkness'']</ref> Some believe that the Traveler chose Earth for a reason, and it is humanity's obligation to prove itself worthy of its light.<ref name = "GrimoireHuman">'''Bungie (2014-6-12)''', ''Destiny: Alpha PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Guardian#Human|Human]]''</ref>
| |
|
| |
| With the Darkness returning, humanity fears they will not be able to survive it this time. As a last ditch effort, the player is given the ultimate task of attempting to wake the Traveler before the Darkness arrives, in order to drive it back.<ref name = jasonjones/> The Guardians are able to help the Traveler slowly restore its light, first by stopping a [[Hive]] ritual in the [[Chamber of Night]] that is siphoning light from the Traveler, and then destroying the heart of the [[Black Garden]].<ref name = "Destiny">'''Bungie (2015-3-10)''', ''Destiny: Activision Blizzard''</ref>
| |
|
| |
| ===Red War===
| |
| Two years after the [[Taken War]], the [[Cabal Empire]]'s Red Legion launched a major invasion of Earth headed by the Red Legion commander, [[Dominus Ghaul]]. A devastating surprise attack on the [[Last City]] was launched, trapping the Traveler in a cage to siphon off its light while separating it from the Guardian forces.<ref name="Last Call">[http://www.polygon.com/2017/3/28/15095770/destiny-2-first-teaser-trailer-video-bungie-cayde-6 '''Polygon''' - ''Watch the first teaser for Destiny 2'']</ref><ref name="Rally the Troops">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJLAJVmggt0 '''YouTube''' - ''Destiny 2 – “Rally the Troops” Worldwide Reveal Trailer'']</ref> Though trapped, the Traveler sent visions to the now lightless Guardians to seek out one of its fragments in the [[European Dead Zone]], whereby they could regain their powers. [[Dominus Ghaul]] attempted and failed to win the Traveler's approval and make him into a Guardian, and simply took the light by force. When he gloated in front of the Traveler, the Traveler suddenly broke its cage and destroyed Ghaul, as well as slowly healing itself by drawing fragments back into itself. With the invasion ended and the city retaken, the Traveler was declared no longer dead but living once more.
| |
|
| |
| ==Status variations==
| |
| The Traveler's emission of Light appears to undergo cyclical fluctuations. These fluctuations are tracked by the Tower and reported over loudspeaker in the Tower North.<ref name="Destiny"/> Traveler status announcements include:
| |
|
| |
| *"Traveler at 1 revolution per zenith."
| |
| *"Traveler approaching zenith."
| |
| *"Traveler entering zenith."
| |
| *"Traveler intensity at zenith."
| |
| *"Traveler exiting zenith."
| |
| *"Traveler declining 1 revolution per zenith."
| |
| *"Traveler entering declining phase."
| |
| *"Traveler entering retrograde phase."
| |
| *"Traveler entering equilibrium."
| |
| *"Traveler approaching theta state."
| |
| *"Traveler entering theta state."
| |
| *"Traveler in theta state."
| |
| *"Traveler exiting epicycle. Returning to main cycle."
| |
| *"Traveler at minimum valence. The Light persists."
| |
|
| |
| ==Trivia==
| |
| *The Traveler first appeared in another Bungie game, ''[[halopedia:Halo 3: ODST|Halo 3: ODST]]'', where a hidden poster made it appear innocuously like the Moon.
| |
| *The Traveler's size has changed over the course of development. Early concept art depicts a Traveler the size of a small moon orbiting Earth, while its finalized appearance in the game shows it hovering much closer to Earth's surface, within the atmosphere, and roughly the size of the Last City. According to a reddit post made on ''/r/DestinytheGame'', players were able to determine the Traveler's in-game size (as seen from the Tower and Bannerfall) as 1.2 kilometers in radius.<ref>'''reddit''': ''[https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/56xvkf/we_found_the_travelers_size_using_parallax_on/ We found the traveler's size! (using parallax on bannerfall)]'' (''"Used parallax and private matches to try to figure out the size of the traveler."'')</ref> [[Destiny 2]] concept art (see gallery) revealed that the Traveler's diameter is seemingly fourteen kilometers.
| |
| *According to [[Xûr, Agent of the Nine|Xûr]], there is a dark mirror of the Traveler.
| |
| *The terms ''"Retrograde"'', ''"Zenith"'', ''"Epicycle"'' ''"Theta State"'' and ''"Valence"'' are used in tracking the Traveler's Light output.
| |
| **''"Retrograde"'', ''"Zenith"'', ''"Epicycle"'' are astronomical terms. In astronomy, the ''zenith'' is the point at which something appears directly overhead relative to an object or observer. ''Epicycle'' is a former astronomical term which was once used to describe the motions of other planets, relative to Earth, but has since been disproven; however, it still finds use in astrology. It was based on the old "geocentric" belief that the heavens and all objects within it travelled around the Earth. Observers would often note that the planets seemed to slow and change their trajectories in the course of their passage across the night sky, appearing to trace loops in their orbits relative to the stars behind them. This led to the concept of an ''epicycle'': or a smaller rotation of a planet around a barycenter in the course of its larger rotation around the Earth itself. The period in which a planet appeared to slow and descend into a loop, just prior to appearing to move backwards, was known as the declining or descending phase. The period during which the planet traced the bottom half of the loop, appearing to move in the opposite direction from its orbital path is known as the ''retrograde'' phase. "Equilibrium" denotes the point at which the planet ceases to move backwards and begins to ascend out of the loop and into its normal orbital path once again, denoting the end of that particular epicycle. This particular astronomical theory was eventually proven to be an optical illusion after Copernicus introduced the then-radical notion that the Earth was '''''not''''' the center of existence & that all planetary bodies within the solar system, including Earth, revolved around the Sun. Johannes Kepler later proved that the so-called "epicycles" were the result of the Earth's orbital position relative to that of the planet being observed.
| |
| **The term ''"Theta State"'' refers to a [[Wikipedia:Theta_rhythm|Theta Rhythm]], which is an oscillatory pattern of brainwave activity in electroencephalography (EEG). This rhythm occurs within the human brain's hippocampal and neocortical regions at between 4 Hz. and 7 Hz. In both regions, these signals have been associated with transitioning from a dream-state to wakefulness, as well as a state of deep meditation.
| |
| **In chemistry, the ''"Valence"'' of an element is a measure of its ability to bond with other atoms when it forms chemical compounds or molecules.
| |
| ***These terms are drawn from three different fields of science and the exact manner in which they apply to the Traveler's Light output is unclear at this time, save that they are used to indicate a repeating pattern.
| |
| *The [[Festival of the Lost]] features a mask of the Traveler that can be obtained by players, and which is worn by the Speaker for the duration of the event. The back of the mask is marked by the tricorn symbol worn by the Speaker and included in ''Destiny's'' logo.
| |
| *According to Fenchurch Everis, the inside of the Traveler "smells faintly of vanilla".<ref>[http://db.destinytracker.com/items/177212690-traveler-mask '''Destiny Tracker''': ''Traveler Mask'']</ref>

| |
| The only solid information on the Darkness comes from an ISR report from centuries ago.<ref name = "Journey"/> At that time, the Darkness appeared just beyond the edge of the [[Solar System]] in what was termed as a "''TRANSIENT NEAR EXTRASOLAR EVENT''", with the only means of determining that a transient event had even occurred was through the detection of a 0.3 second displacement of gravity waves, as well as anomalous interactions in the local Higgs field traced to [[Wikipedia:Sterile_neutrino|sterile neutrino]] scattering.
| |
|
| |
| An AI observing the event, the [[Warmind]] [[Rasputin]], was able to derive some information, based solely on the phenomena that it could detect, but was unable to ascertain its mechanism. Rasputin conducted an "Omnibus analysis" of the event's effects on local spacetime, measuring a wide range of data points including direction, distance, range, speed and size as well as a comprehensive pattern analysis of the event itself. This last set of data showed, to a certainty of "9 Sigma", a definite and measurable pattern which had a complex, almost linguistic, structure that demonstrated both intelligence and intent.
| |
|
| |
| In an attempt to better understand the phenomenon by recreating all of its known variables (also known as a "bootstrap simulation"), Rasputin reran the data through a series of iterations which included a number of randomized inputs, in a process known as a Monte Carlo analysis. Despite this, it was unable to derive any definitive information about the event or its source; however, it was able to determine that whatever was behind the event was clearly a complex structure, acting with clear purpose. Rasputin concluded that the source of the event not only failed to conform to any known phenomena in the [[Wikipedia:Standard_Model|Standard Model]] of particle physics (thus labeling it "[[wikipedia:Anticausal_system|acausal]]"), it was also directed, acting with anger, and almost certain to reach the solar system in a short amount of time. As a result, the previously issued Skyshock alert was upgraded to OCP:EXTINCTION, and a number of defensive protocols were added.<ref name = "GrimoireDarkness">'''Bungie (2014-6-12)''', ''Destiny: Alpha PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies#Ghost Fragment: Darkness|Ghost Fragment: Darkness]]''</ref> The Darkness nonetheless swept through the Solar System, devastating [[human]] civilization in an event called the [[Collapse]].

| ===Events of ''Destiny''===
| |
| [[File:Destiny-BlackGarden-BlackHeart-01.jpg|thumb|300px|The Black Heart, an aspect of the Darkness.]]
| |
| {{expand-section}}
| |
|
| |
| Centuries after the Collapse, a lone [[Guardian]] encountered the [[Exo Stranger]] on [[Venus]], and was subsequently sent on a quest to find the [[Black Garden]]. After battling through the [[Sol Divisive]] [[Vex]] and reaching the center of the Garden, the Guardian discovered an entity, the [[Black Heart]], that the Vex seemed to revere as an object of worship. The entity could not attack the Guardian directly, but attempted to defend itself by taking control of the [[Sol Progeny]], three enormous Vex Minotaurs. After a protracted battle, the Black Heart was apparently destroyed along with its three Sol Progeny vessels. Upon the defeat of the Black Heart, the Black Garden was relocated to [[Mars]] from its prior location, and Light began to return to the dormant and damaged Traveler.
| |
|
| |
| Following the battle in the Black Garden, Ikora Rey hypothesized that the Black Heart had been an aspect of the Darkness itself.
| |
|
| |
| ===Events of ''Destiny 2''===
| |
| [[File:The Darkness.jpg|thumb|300px|A mysterious fleet in orbit above the Milky Way]]
| |
| After the death of [[Dominus Ghaul]] and restoration of the [[Light]], a [[Unknown extragalactic race|fleet of pyramid ships]] activated in response, and started moving ''en masse'' toward the Milky Way. The shape of these ships bear a resemblance to the black tetrahedrons featured in the vision the Guardian experienced upon losing their Light, as well as the triangular shadow used to represent the Darkness in the opening cinematic.

| ===Curse of Osiris===

| In the [[Simulant Future]], [[Osiris]] encountered a massive shadow-like entity on [[Mercury]].<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyLore/comments/7jde4k/spoiler_osiris_is_fighting_something_darker/</ref>

| ===Known Darkness Entities===
| |
| *[[Worm Gods]]
| |
| *[[Black Heart]]
| |
|
| |
| ==The Nature of the Darkness==
| |
| Because so few survived the Collapse, the exact nature of the Darkness is unclear. Several theories as to what it is have been proposed by various scholars among the Guardians and other people of the City.
| |
|
| |
| ===Minor positions===
| |
| *[[Pujari]] claimed that the Darkness is both a physical and moral presence, evil made tangible. It was a storm of corruption emerging from the Golden Age.<ref name = "Darkness"/>
| |
|
| |
| *[[Saint-14]] argued that the Darkness was an invading armada of aliens. Some suggest that these aliens had been previously rejected by the Traveler for their sins.<ref name = "Darkness"/>
| |
|
| |
| *[[Ulan-Tan]] suggests that the Darkness is the necessary symmetry to the Traveler as part of a cosmic balance.<ref name = "Darkness"/>
| |
|
| |
| *The Monists believe the Darkness is a technologically superior force, to the point of post-singularity, and that the universe is just a simulation. Such an advanced intelligence could mimic acausality by bending the rules of the universe's programming.<ref name = "Darkness"/>
| |
|
| |
| *The Acataleptic Clause, and the [[Praxic Warlocks]], believe that not only is the Darkness unknowable, but that people shouldn't bother trying to understand it and instead simply fight it.<ref name = "Darkness"/>
| |
|
| |
| *A heretical position from the [[Binary Star Cult]] states that the Traveler itself triggered the collapse, and used humanity as a sacrifice/proxy army in its war against the Darkness.<ref name = "Darkness">'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies#Darkness|Darkness]]''</ref>
| |
|
| |
| ===Toland's understanding===
| |
| [[Toland, the Shattered]] understands the Darkness as the natural evolutionary endpoint of the entire universe. Since the beginning of time, everything has been in competition with everything else for no reason, other than that is the way of the universe: the law of the jungle. As atoms came into being, they defeated the "primordial broth" that preceded it. From atoms came stars, from stars came galaxies, worlds were created, and finally life arose, all due to the eternal competition.
| |
|
| |
| Toland envisions a future where three archetypal "nations" compete with other: the first represents the perfect rule of law, the second represents knowledge made paramount, and the third represents sheer, total conquest. The third nation will succeed, inevitably, and in time will lead to a greater conflict between other nations which all represent the desire to conquer and dominate. The universe thus becomes a place where only the most ruthless entities succeed, to the point where they actively hunt and exterminate other life long before it can ever be a true threat. Finally, at the end of time there will be only one entity that rules the universe so absolutely that nothing will ever exist except by its consent, so it will rule forever. In essence, Toland asserts that this incontestable supremacy is the goal or driving force of the Darkness.

| |
| An alternative way of life, where law and knowledge and might worked together rather than competed, as in the case of [[human]]ity and the [[City]], is little more than "the dream of small minds", and is unlikely to succeed against an entity of pure conquest.<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies#Ghost_Fragment:_Darkness_3|Ghost Fragment: Darkness 3]]''</ref>

| ===Dreams of Alpha Lupi===
| |
| The ''[[Dreams of Alpha Lupi]]'' poem contains a verse related to the Darkness, and possibly representative of the Darkness's own perspective. The verse explains that the universe, despite its vastness, is beholden to simple, enduring laws that shape it and give one the impression that it is inexhaustible and eternal. Life is an affront to the universe because it refuses to accept the limitations imposed on it by the natural order.<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies#Ghost_Fragment:_Darkness_2|Ghost Fragment: Darkness 2]]''</ref>

|
| |
| ===Darkness itself===
| |
| [[Grimoire:Enemies#Ghost_Fragment:_Darkness_4|Ghost Fragment: Darkness 4]] contains an excerpt of unknown origin, addressing an unknown recipient.
| |
|
| |
| Its opening line: "[[Lakshmi-2#quotes|''This war is all there is for you.]]" is also a line of dialog, spoken by [[Future War Cult]] representative [[Lakshmi-2]], in which she asks the player what they would do if, "on some dreadful night, the Darkness were to come creeping up" and whisper the aforementioned statement to them. This would suggest that the excerpt in ''Ghost Fragment: Darkness 4'' is the full text of that opening statement, indicating that the Darkness is addressing a Guardian, attempting to entice them into turning away from the [[Light]], or at least plant the seeds of doubt. <ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies#Ghost_Fragment:_Darkness_4|Ghost Fragment: Darkness 4]]''</ref>

| ===The Books of Sorrow===
| |
| {{Quote|Out in the world we ask a simple, true question. A question like, can I kill you, can I rip your world apart? Tell me the truth. For if I don’t ask, someone will ask it of me. And they call us evil. Evil! Evil means ‘socially maladaptive.’ We are adaptiveness itself.|The Darkness}}
| |
|
| |
| Following the arrival of [[Oryx, the Taken King]] in the Sol System, records were discovered aboard Oryx's [[Dreadnaught]] that provide new insight into the Darkness' history and nature. These records suggest that the Darkness is a manifestation or embodiment of the universal struggle for existence: whereas the Traveler seeks to nurture civilization by encouraging peace and mutual cooperation, the Darkness is dedicated to the annihilation of all beings and civilizations who do not possess the strength to survive in the face of conquest. Its eventual goal is to bring about a universe inhabited solely by those entities who have survived by defeating all opposition. To this end, it has destroyed countless planets and civilizations, either through direct action or through its disciples, such as the [[Hive]]. <ref>[http://db.destinytracker.com/grimoire/enemies/books-of-sorrow '''Planet Destiny''' - ''Grimoire: Book of Sorrows'']</ref>
| |
|
| |
| ==Influences==
| |
| ===Guardians===
| |
| There are a handful of Guardians who fell into the darkness, notably [[Dredgen Yor]].<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Inventory#Thorn|Thorn]]''</ref> Yor came to desire taking innocent lives and sowing despair, claiming he had developed a hunger for it. [[Toland, the Shattered]] claimed to be able to communicate with the Darkness,<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies#Might_of_Crota|Might of Crota]]''</ref> whereas [[Eris Morn]] was able to survive and escape the [[Hellmouth]] wielding the very power she fought against.<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies#Crota's_Bane|Crota's Bane]]''</ref> Eris had one time even used the power of Darkness to rescue the Guardian from being trapped in the [[Oversoul Throne]]. As noted above, it would appear that the Darkness attempts to turn Guardians away from the Light. One example is when [[Pujari]] had his vision of the [[Black Garden]]; the vision made him doubt the righteousness of the Guardians when the vision told him, "You are a dead thing made by a dead power in the shape of the dead. All you will ever do is kill. You do not belong here. This is a place of life."<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies#Legend:_The_Black_Garden|Legend: The Black Garden]]''</ref> This hearkens back to Ghost Fragment: Darkness 4, where the Darkness calls Guardians "a dead husk" animated by "an ancient corpse," referring to the "dead" Traveler.
| |
|
| |
| ===Fallen===
| |
| According to Fallen Lore, their civilization was destroyed when the Great Machine left them and the [[Whirlwind]] tore the sky. The Great Machine and Whirlwind are the Traveler and Darkness respectively, making the Fallen one of the races to survive the Darkness's devastation, and confirming Saint-14's hypothesis as partially true. A reclaimed (though corrupted) Fallen story mentions that the Fallen respect what they cannot steal from, which is "why the dark is worthy of love beyond all other love that astonishing ability to evade being robbed".<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies#Ghost_Fragment:_Fallen_2|Ghost Fragment: Fallen 2]]''</ref> When [[The Consul]] refers to the Traveler as "this great machine", this provides confirmation that the Fallen were indeed referencing the Traveler, as the Consul notes "''I believe other civilizations would be more precise in their naming''", perhaps a deliberate reference to the Fallen.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard''</ref>
| |
|
| |
| ===Hive===
| |
| The Hive clearly derive their power from the Darkness, and feed on and hate the Light. The Hive religion, based around the 'Sword-Logic', closely matches Toland's theory above. The Hive made a pact with their highest gods, the [[Worms]], who grant the powers of Darkness to the Hive. They worship the Darkness as a force of destruction, and their worship has taken the form of chronicling every planet they have seen the Darkness destroy, a massive archive known as "[[the World's Grave]]" found deep within the [[Hellmouth]].<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, Activision Blizzard, Story mission [[The World's Grave (mission)|The World's Grave]]''</ref> The Hive religion has a pantheon of other gods, but one in particular, [[Oryx]], is of significant importance. Oryx commands both the Hive and his own personal army, the [[Taken]], by using the power of the Darkness (see below). This power he stole from his patron deity, the worm [[Akka]], so that he could access the Darkness directly like the Worms could. [[Osiris]] prophesied that should the [[Spawn of Crota]] succeed in snuffing out the worlds of Light, Oryx's coming would be unfettered,<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, Activision Blizzard, Quotes: [[Osiris]]''</ref> reminiscent of the Darkness's predicted arrival.
| |
|
| |
| ===Vex===
| |
| The Vex worship the [[Black Heart]], described by [[Ikora Rey]] as part of a greater power, presumably the Darkness.<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies#Sol_Progeny|Sol Progeny]]''</ref> The Monist's theory about the Darkness matches the [[Vex]]'s goal of programming themselves into the fabric of the universe.<ref name = "Vex">'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies#Atheon,_Time's_Conflux|Atheon, Time's Conflux]]''</ref> Osiris theorized that some Vex technology is tuned to react to the presence of the Darkness.<ref>'''Bungie (2015-5-19)''', ''Destiny: House of Wolves, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Activities#Timekeeper|Timekeeper]]''</ref>
| |
|
| |
| ===Cabal===
| |
| The Cabal do not appear to worship the Darkness like the other races, but according to a dead Ghost, they are secretly running away from a terrible power following them.<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies#Ghost_Fragment:_Cabal_2|Ghost Fragment: Cabal 2]]''</ref>
| |
|
| |
| [[Umun'arath|Evocate-General Umun'arath, Primus of All Legions]], once said in reference to Cabal civilization and culture that "The war is all there is. All this is just logistical support." This echoes the above-mentioned phrase used by the Darkness and Future War Cult.<ref>[[Cabal Booklet]]</ref>
| |
|
| |
| During his exile, the former emperor [[Calus]] sought the means to defeat his usurper [[Ghaul]] by exploring the secret places of the galaxy and pushing the limits of reason. He eventually crossed paths with a perfect void, most likely the Darkness itself, and resolved to become its herald.<ref>[[It Stared Back]] Lore</ref> He would watch it consume the light of the universe, and all among the last of the living would know his greatness.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Calus' letter]]''</ref> Calus also knows of the pact that [[Oryx]] made with the [[Worms]], comparing it to Ghaul's takeover of the legions.<ref>[[Cabal Booklet]]</ref> Calus' strange powers and his claims of "knowing the truth" about the galaxy and his mockery of the Guardians' "feeble light" implies that he may have some knowledge of the inner workings of the Darkness.
| |
|
| |
| ===Awoken & Jovians===
| |
| The [[Awoken]] were once humans, but were transformed during the collapse upon reaching the edge of the [[asteroid belt]]. Beyond the belt, "the edge of the Deep Black", the system is totally immersed in Darkness.<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Guardian#Awoken|Awoken]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Places#Saturn|Saturn]]''</ref>They are otherwise still part of the Light, as Awoken can become Guardians.
| |
|
| |
| Likewise, the [[Jovian]]s, particularly people such as [[Xûr]], were once humans, but were more heavily transformed than the Awoken by the Collapse. Legends do not offer a concrete explanation but imply that they were shaped by the Darkness.<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies#Ghost_Fragment:_Legends_2|Ghost Fragment: Legends 2]]''</ref>; its safe to assume the same happened to the Awoken, but to a lesser extent, due to their proximity. Though they are willing to aid humanity through Xûr, the Light is a foreign concept to Jovians and causes them pain.<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, Quotes: [[Xûr, Agent of the Nine]]''</ref>
| |
|
| |
| ===Taken===
| |
| Through [[Oryx]], the Darkness can take direct possession of the other races, thus creating the Taken. When a being is Taken, they are sent to another plane of existence, where they are robbed of their free will and brainwashed by the Darkness into abandoning their former selves. They are convinced that being Taken has "liberated" them from their fears and grants them new powers. The ability to create Taken was derived from the Worm God Akka, but Oryx killed him and stole as much knowledge as he could. Reports from the [[Ecumene]] fighting Taken described them of having abilities that are "physically illegal," meaning their very existence broke all known laws of physics.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *The Darkness bears resemblance to the [http://mythipedia.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Dark Armies of the Dark] and its [http://mythipedia.wikia.com/wiki/Leveler leader] in [[Bungie]]'s ''[[Myth]]'' series—a resurgent dark force that is the antithesis to the (forces of) Light.
| |
|
| |
| *The idea of the Darkness arising from a primordial universe bears resemblance to the origins of the [http://marathongame.wikia.com/wiki/W%27rkncacnter W'rkncacnter] from Bungie's ''[[Marathon]]'' series.
| |
|
| |
| *In the [[Wikipedia:Standard_deviation|Standard Deviation]] model of statistical analysis, a value of 8σ represents a probability of approximately 99.999999999999%, which means that a 9σ value represents a certainty so close to absolute (100%) as to be statistically insignificant from it.
| |
|
| |
| *The Darkness being flagged as Acausal indicates that it has no cause-effect relationship. The simplest explanation is that the event heralding its arrival had no known mechanism from which to derive said cause and effect. It is also possible that it may be acting on an effect-then-cause relationship, or that it is being directed by future inputs. The Taken are likewise described as Acausal.
| |
|
| |
| *Sterile neutrinos are hypothetical particles (leptons) which do not interact via any of the Standard Model interactions (strong force, weak force, etc.) except for gravity. They are believed to be responsible for a number of unexplained astrophysical phenomena, including dark matter and dark radiation, neither of which are currently detectable through any portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, except for gravity.
| |
|
| |
| *Gravity waves are generated when an object or event interacts with the curvature of spacetime in such a manner as to create changes in that curvature, which then ripple outward away from the event at the speed of light (or 186,000 miles per second) in a wave-like manner. In reference to the ISR report, the event which triggered the SKYSHOCK alert lasted 0.3 seconds, which suggests that whatever displaced local spacetime during the event measures some 55,800 miles in diameter (assuming a spherical shape), making it almost twice the size of the planet Uranus (31,518 miles) and a little over three-fourths the size of Saturn (72,367 miles).

| |
| The '''Guardians''', once known as '''The Risen''' and '''Light-bearers''', are a faction of protectors tasked with defending [[the Last City]] and [[Solar System]] against the forces of the [[Darkness]], the [[Taken]], the [[Red Legion]], and various other threats.
| |
|
| |
| ==Overview==
| |
| {{Quote|Legends are carved across history by the brave.|Grimoire Description.}}
| |
| Guardians of the present are chosen from the ranks of ancient dead by the [[Ghost]]s of the [[Traveler]], deemed worthy of resurrection by their past lives and compatibility with their [[Ghost]]s,<ref>[http://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/283wsu/how_to_read_your_grimoire_cards/ '''Destiny the Game''' - ''How to read your Grimoire cards'']</ref> and have defended the [[City]] for centuries. However, that defense cannot hold out forever.<ref>'''Bungie (2014-6-12)''', ''Destiny: Alpha PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Guardian#Guardians|Guardians]]''</ref> Guardians are charged with the protection of humanity's survivors, but many have splintered off into other groups with their own agendas. For example, it is commonplace for Guardians to align with one of the City's several [[Factions]] for support. Some, however, leave the City altogether, such as those aligned with [[Concordat]] or the Cult of [[Osiris]]. Few have turned their back on the Light and humanity all-together, such as the villainous [[Dredgen Yor]], the original wielder of [[Thorn]].
| |
|
| |
| Guardians are equipped with an advanced arsenal of weaponry and vehicles, as well as the ability to channel the Traveler's [[Light|power]] (referred to by some as "magic").<ref>[http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/02/17/bungies-destiny-a-land-of-hope-and-dreams?page=1 '''IGN''' ''Bungie's Destiny: A Land of Hope and Dreams]</ref> It is said that Guardians rarely speak.<ref name="FWCReddit">[http://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/2a08mn/tower_npcs_breakdown_the_jovians_osiris_the_great/ '''Tower NPCs Breakdown''': ''The Jovians, Osiris, The Great Pyramid, Sun Legion, Ragnarök, etc.'' (Part 2)]</ref>
| |
|
| |
| Thanks to their Ghosts, Guardians are effectively immortal in most situations. They take advantage of this fact in a number of ways, whether its the live-fire training exercises of the [[Crucible]] and [[Lord Shaxx]], or by making new discoveries via visions as [[Thanatonaut]]s. However, Guardians can be permanently killed if their light is drained by a powerful enemy, such as powerful figures of the [[Darkness]] or if their [[Ghost]] is destroyed.
| |
|
| |
| ==History==
| |
| The Guardians' origins are rooted in the very origins of the Last City itself, in the [[Dark Age]] that followed the [[Collapse]].<ref>[http://www.destinythegame.com/au/en/game/story '''Bungie''' ''Destiny Story'']</ref> In the earliest days, when the survivors of the Collapse were gathering beneath the [[Traveler]] and groups like [[Takanome's Rangers]] were all that separated refugees elsewhere from certain death, the Guardians were known as The Risen. Having been granted the power to wield the [[Light]] by their [[Ghost]]s, The Risen lacked a common, unifying purpose, and took up roles as enforcers and bodyguards for the first [[Faction]]s of what would become the Last City. As the Factions feuded over their competing ideologies and competed for influence among the residents of the fledgling city under the Traveler, some of The Risen became disillusioned and abandoned their Factions, seeking a higher purpose. With tensions between the Factions already near the boiling point, this triggered the [[Faction Wars]], a violent conflict that only ended when The Risen ceased fighting each other in order to unite against a new enemy that threatened them all: the [[Fallen]]. In the end, the Fallen were repelled, the Factions' iron grip was broken, the city under the Traveler became the Last City with massive walls erected to protect it, and The Risen became known as the Guardians.<ref name="RA">'''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>
| |
|
| |
| Outside the Last City, various Guardians also set themselves up as petty kings across [[Earth]]. Known as [[Warlord]]s, they forced villages to accept their "protection" in return for tribute and warred with each other for territory. Eventually, four warriors who fought against the Warlords' tyranny, [[Radegast]], [[Jolder]], [[Perun]], and [[Saladin Forge|Saladin]], joined together to form a force for good modeled after the knightly orders of old. They became the first [[Iron Lords]]. Over the years, the Iron Lords' numbers swelled into the hundreds as they defeated Warlord after Warlord and destroyed their Ghosts to ensure their executions were permanent. A number of Warlords, such as [[Felwinter]], even decided to join the Iron Lords' cause. When the Warlords were vanquished, the Iron Lords set about rebuilding human civilization, but this unfortunately led to their downfall. Hoping to harness the [[Golden Age]] technology known as [[SIVA]], they breached [[Site 6]] and awoke the [[Warmind]] [[Rasputin]], who activated SIVA as a defense mechanism. In the ensuing conflict, all of the Iron Lords perished but two: [[Saladin]], who took it upon himself to guard what remained of the [[Iron Lord]]'s legacy, and [[Efrideet]], who fled the destruction and hid far from civilization. Saladin sealed the [[Iron Temple]] as a monument to his fallen friends, and took up managing the [[Iron Banner]] tournament at the [[Tower]].
| |
|
| |
| The Guardian ranks would be thrown into discord after the destruction of The Last City by [[Dominus Ghaul]], commander of the Red Legion, one year after the [[SIVA Crisis]] and two years after the [[Taken War]], after the Skyburner's distress signal reached [[Dominus Ghaul]].<ref name="Last Call">[http://www.polygon.com/2017/3/28/15095770/destiny-2-first-teaser-trailer-video-bungie-cayde-6 '''Polygon''' - ''Watch the first teaser for Destiny 2'']</ref><ref name="Rally the Troops">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJLAJVmggt0 '''YouTube''' - ''Destiny 2 – “Rally the Troops” Worldwide Reveal Trailer'']</ref>
| |
|
| |
| Guardian forces were left powerless after the [[Light]] had been sealed by the [[Traveler Cage]], and were hunted en masse by [[Red Legion]] forces, with many being executed. Though trapped, the Traveler sent visions to the now lightless Guardians to seek out one of its fragments in the [[European Dead Zone]], whereby they could regain their powers. [[Dominus Ghaul]] attempted and failed to win the Traveler's approval and make him into a Guardian, and simply took the light by force. When he gloated in front of the Traveler, the Traveler suddenly broke its cage and destroyed Ghaul, as well as slowly healing itself by drawing fragments back into itself. With the invasion ended and the city retaken, the Traveler was declared no longer dead but living once more, thus bringing back the light to the guardians all over again.
| |
|
| |
| ==Gameplay==
| |
| There are three classes of Guardian: [[Hunter]]s, [[Warlock]]s, and [[Titan]]s. Hunters utilize swiftness, precision, and stealth to efficiently slay their enemies. Warlocks have the least amount of armor but the fastest regeneration, and utilize a variety of projectile attacks in their abilities. Titans are able to both take and deal massive amounts of damage, prioritizing either one depending on their subclass. <ref>[http://www.forbes.com/sites/michaelvenables/2013/02/17/bungies-destiny-unveiled '''Forbes.com''' ''Bungie's Destiny Unveiled'']</ref> Titans emphasize armor and raw power, while warlocks emphasize the use of their magical abilities and agility. Hunters fall in between both classes.<ref>[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> The Guardians include members of the [[human]], [[Awoken]] and [[Exo]] races, and can be either male or female.
| |
|
| |
| While the choice of race is mostly aesthetic, the choice of class will have more impact. Note that all three classes have access to the same weapons, and are not "locked in" to any particular role. However, each class can specialize in a particular direction depending on which subclass the player is using. Choice of subclass will determine what [[Super]] the player can use, as well as what bonuses and other lesser abilities they'll have access to. Subclasses can be leveled up and switched on the fly, allowing a single character a degree of flexibility for different combat scenarios.
| |
|
| |
| Guardians have three base stats determined by their choice of subclass: Armor (shield strength), Agility (movement speed and jump height), and Recovery (shield regeneration speed). Each class emphasizes each of these stats differently, but can be modified slightly. Choice of armor can boost any of the three cooldown stats: Strength (melee cooldown), Discipline (grenade cooldown), and Intellect (Super cooldown).
| |
|
| |
| While players gain levels with experience, these levels are mainly for determining what gear and missions are unlocked. The player's actual strength is determined by [[Light]] levels. Light represents the average attack and defense values of the player's currently equipped weapons and armor; every mission has a recommended light level, so players who meet that recommendation are more likely to succeed said mission.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/3hgllk/the_taken_king_reveal_teaser_destiny_year_two/ '''Reddit''': The Taken King Reveal Teaser - Destiny Year 2]</ref> Generally speaking, items with more [[rarity]] have a higher light level than others.

| |
| *''[[Destiny]]'' marks the third time a group of entities in a [[Bungie]] game has been named "Hunters", the other two being [[w:c:marathongame:Hunter|''Marathon'']] and [[Halopedia:Mgalekgolo|''Halo'']]. It also marks the first time that Hunters are not an enemy class.
| |
| *The Hunter's outfit is shown to have a 50:50 fabric to armor ratio. Its visual design is meant to look like they scavenge the wilderness for gear, with torn capes and gear based on HAZMAT material.<ref>[http://www.polygon.com/2014/3/21/5533684/bungies-destiny-extensive-character-customization '''Polygon''': ''Bungie outlines ambitions for Destiny's extensive character customization'']</ref>
| |
| *So far, Hunters are the only Guardians that do not have any orders within the Last City, unlike the Titans and Warlocks. It is possible that due to the "lone wolf" mindset of the Hunters and their desire to explore, the Hunters do not tend to have orders bound to the city.
| |
| **However, some Hunter's organize themselves into Groups, mostly for exploring and assassination missions.

| '''Warlocks''' are "warrior-scholars,"<ref name = "Customization">[http://www.polygon.com/2014/3/21/5533684/bungies-destiny-extensive-character-customization '''Polygon''': ''Bungie outlines ambitions for Destiny's extensive character customization'']</ref> and a class of [[Guardian]].

| ==Overview==
| |
| {{quote|Warlocks may be thinkers, but most I know can hold their own.|[[Lord Shaxx]]}}
| |
| Warlocks were the first to tap the power of the Traveler, wielding its light as they ventured beyond the safety of the Wall. They know each discovery offers new possibilities,<ref>[http://destiny.bungie.org/forum/index.php?id=13568 '''Destiny.bungie.org''', ''Transcript of the official English version of the cards'']</ref> and they have devoted themselves to understanding the Traveler, its power, and how to better channel that power. A Warlock mind is an arsenal of deadly secrets, balanced between godhood and madness. On the battlefield, those secrets can shatter reality itself.<ref>'''Bungie (2014-6-12)''', ''Destiny: Alpha PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Guardian#Class: Warlock|Warlock]]''</ref> They search the frontier to find a means to defeat the [[Darkness]] once and for all.<ref name="Planetview">[https://www.destinyplanetview.com/en/home '''Destiny Planet View''']</ref>
| |
|
| |
| Warlocks are known for pushing the boundaries of knowledge, even into dangerous territory. At least two warlocks, [[Toland, the Shattered]] and [[Osiris]], were exiled for studying the [[Hive]] and [[Vex]] too closely. There also exists an order of warlocks called the [[Thanatonaut]]s, who take advantage of [[Guardian]]s ability to resurrect themselves to receive visions every time they die.<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Guardian#Ghost_Fragment:_Exo_2|Ghost Fragment: Exo 2]]''</ref>

| ==Class Description==
| |
| {{quote|Warlocks have long studied the Traveler, mastering some of its arcane energies. Its true purpose remains a great mystery, but discovering truth has always driven you into the unknown. Now, our enemies are the only thing that stands between you and the lost wonders of our Golden Age.|Class description}}
