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.

1 ReplyThere are tons of security cameras throughout the tower.... Why? Are the guardians not to be trusted? I've heard all kinds of theories, my favorite being that the fallen were like humanity before. Blessed by the light if the traveler, up until something happened, and they were cast out of his light. Now they follow after him, hunting/plaguing his new children, trying to gain back favor with their old God/deity. The hive are the true darkness (now that the original storyline has changed completely). Like a plague moving through the universe, enveloping anything, because their existence is tried, true and wins against everything else. Much like the Vex. I believe it was Toland the shattered who fretted about this constantly in the grimoires. Queens/armies that existed because their formula for existence prevailed over others, which perished and ceased to exist. This "working" formula was passed on, whatever list was not. This is how the Vex grew as well. Evolving to the point where they could control space/time, and even existence. They are not the darkness, something totally different, but key in the big picture. The cabal? They're another species irrelevant to the story, but there to add another degree of depth/something to kill. Or they're simply after the traveler, its power and our planets resources. Humans stumbled across the traveler, it viewed mankind as another force capable of helping it fend off the darkness, and helped bolster mankind in order to do so.
