Evidence of "Dark Traveler Theory" - Is the Traveler evil?
The Traveler supposedly saved our worlds, sacrificed itself only for our benefit. But is this really the truth? Do we have any infallible evidence to prove this? We, at Binary Star Cult, do have a theory. We believe the Traveler may not be as "holy" as it is made out to be. It may have acted only in selfish reasons, or even in malicious ones. It could have brought the Darkness to our doorstep intentionally, or it could even BE the Darkness. However, you may ask yourself, how can this theory be any more correct than the one that states the goodness of the Traveler?
The answer is: we have evidence. Or at least, we will. This is why this thread is being posted, to find, collect, and analyze the evidence of this theory. I will start it off with a piece of evidence below, from a ghost fragment. This thread is public. Anyone can put their facts or suspicions here. Don't be afraid to speak your mind. The smallest detail you may have could be the key to this entire theory.
Although we firmly believe in this theory, we do not want to be blind like some of the followers of the Traveler. If you have any piece of evidence against this theory, if you still believe the Traveler is pure, please, tell us. If we cannot challenge and refute your hypotheses, then how valid are ours?
Nevertheless, as promised, here is a bit of confirmation for the theory.

This Grimoire card is a brief passage from "Dreams of Alpha Lupi." It says:
[quote]"This has been such a long chase. This will be the place you will fight. Fight and win.
But do you really know why you go where you go, and where this journey is taking you?
The chase leads you where you need to be, you believe.
Unless...you are being pushed."[/quote]
The final line is the key to this evidence. It questions the whole nature of our quest to revive the Traveler. It is not a particularly strong piece of evidence, but we will find more. We will find out the truth about the Traveler. We will find out if I will ever stop speaking like some kind of holy priest giving a sermon. Please, contribute to this theory, not to support any faction or cult, but to support every player of Destiny by discovering the truth.

2 RepliesIn my view, the Traveler is a benevolent entity that wishes to help others. The Darkness is an evil force that wants to destroy the Traveler and the Guardians. The Darkness, in my view, is like a snake, decisive and sly, slithering in the background, pulling the strings of not just it's power, but of Reality itself. It is not the good guy. In a Ghost fragment, a Guardian fell off the "Shores of Time", a multiplayer map, but maybe a portal or realm too. He said he walked The Black Garden, and cut his finger on thorn on a Ghost shaped rose. The rose told him that the Traveler and Guardians are "dead things that kill", and that it should leave the Garden because "it is a place of life". True, but what KIND of life? The Traveler brings Light and peace, bringing humanity to it's Golden Age for nothing in return. The Darkness created and/or supports the Vex, planet-taking robots. the Hive, planet-eating monsters, the Cabal, a world-invading military empire, and finally the Fallen, who steal anything they can, and kill anyone who gets in their way. If the Traveler was evil, why did it nearly die trying to save a single, small civilization? Why does it still hover over the Last City, still guarding it? Someone else commented that a Fallen cried "The Darkness!" when killed, and said maybe the PLAYERS are the Darkness. I think that was just the thing cursing, like "The Darkness will consume you!", or something like that. The Traveler is pure. It's Ghosts brought back those who had died in the Golden Age, and has given humanity a chance to survive. Don't question it. Guard it.
