What the New Subclass/Class Icons Mean For the Lore

WARNING: DESTINY 2 SPOILERS AHEAD! [spoiler]https://cdn.gamerant.com/wp-content/uploads/destiny-2-hat-hunter.jpg.optimal.jpg https://cdn.gamerant.com/wp-content/uploads/destiny-2-hat-titan.jpg.optimal.jpg https://cdn.gamerant.com/wp-content/uploads/destiny-2-hat-warlock.jpg.optimal.jpg [/spoiler] For those who don't know, GameStop has accidentally leaked some Destiny 2 merchandise on their website. The merchandise has been taken off of the website, but I will leave a link to some pictures so you can see. Now, to the main topic of this post: What do the new icons mean for the Lore of Destiny? As seen in the pictures, Hunters have a serpent, Titans have a lion and Warlocks have an vulture. This means that either the classes or subclasses will be related to these animals. Now, how did we get these abilities? We don't know. However, we can make a few solid guesses. [b]1. The Traveler-[/b] This one is fairly obvious, but could have one of the biggest impacts on the Lore as a whole. When the Traveler went dormant during the Collapse, it created our Ghosts. With these Ghosts came our connection to the light. For our subclasses to change, something BIG must happen to the Traveler or our Ghosts. We do see the Traveler being "shielded" by the Cabal, so it is possible that it wakes and releases another wave of light, imbuing us with new powers. [b]2. The Ahamkara-[/b] If the Cabal severe our connection to the Traveler, we will need a new way to access abilities. I believe that our Guardian may seek out the Ahamkara to strike a deal for new powers. As we know from many Grimoire cards and flavor-texts, the Ahamkara were known as "Wish Dragons" and would grant the wishes of those that asked. We see this in action with the Knuckles of Eao item, which will grant extra loot in a raid, while saying "Your wish has been granted." What makes this theory even more interesting would be that the Guardians hunted the Ahamkara to near extinction. Their reaction to our wish would most likely be "extreme." If the Cabal severe our connection to the Traveler and Ghosts, it is possible that we would seek out the "Wish Dragons" for new powers. [b]3. Bungie-[/b] This theory is probably the most likely of them all. For casual or new players who do not know the lore, they will have no clue as to what the Ahamkara are or what the "Wish Dragons" are. There is the very distinct possibility that there may be no explanation at all. However, this would leave a gaping hole in the lore, which is definitely not good. I hope I summed up why we may have these new subclasses as best as possible. All of these theories will have a huge impact on the lore. Remember, this is all still speculation and we may hear differently during the reveal stream on Tuesday. Go ahead and comment your theory as well!
