Tin foil hat time....but if I had to put money down? The darkness is exactly what it says it is, darkness. Or the inevitable end of all things, all life, all light...the death of the universe. The traveler and light is the struggle of sentient beings against the inevitable end, and possible ways to survive it. I don't think it's coincidence the traveler cards use the term alpha Lupi. That is a real star in the galaxy near where the largest super nova in recorded human history occurred. The sun died and ate up all the nearby worlds.

  • But then how did Toland communicate with it? How does its conscience work? All questions that must be answered soon...

    Maybe during yoga??? I've got one fundamental problem with my thought, what the hell did Rasputin attack if the darkness is what I said. I'll be honest, I don't have a good answer. But for Toland, he seemed particularly obsessed with ir yut and her deathsong, which in grimoire seem to imply the hive ability to survive death of time itself. If the darkness is the death of time, maybe the hive have figured out to survive it, basically eternally undead. So his communication with the darkness might be his realizing how the hive respond to it This would also explain while vex are aligned with the darkness. Their multiple timelines would allow them survival of the end time. The fallen and cabal? They are screwed...like us. Cept we are destiny ;)

  • According to one of Rasputin's cards (the ones in weird, military chatter) he comments that there are traces of dark matter/energy within the Darknesa

  • Actually it is the card that led me to this. It talks about neutrino scattering among other things. I honestly didnt know what that meant, so googled it. Said it was something that happens during a super nova. Hmm, Googled super nova....first hit "alpha Lupi"....Mind blown. Not saying I'm correct, but it was interesting.

  • the darkness coming in many cards is described as a storm Very similar to a super nova

  • I'm pretty sure the Traveler's name, or at least its consciousness, is Alpha Lupi

  • I agree. I just thought it an interesting choice for a name. Though one could think of dreams of [u]blank[/u] as two things. Either dreams of the person or dreams of the place. Like the dreams of trees of ruin or dreams of spring break in cancun in 1997 Alpha Lupi could be both a person or a place depending on how you look at it :)

And Rasputin fought what Xur talks about, the traveler's dark twin.
