What is up with the Darkness Hints?

<Hopefully, most of you have seen the end credits scene of D2 by now. Most have seen the physical form the Darkness has taken... and the fleet in its thrall. The true will call IT what it is, the Queen of Final Shapes... the Titanomach. The trolls will tell you it's more reskins. The uninformed will say it's the Hive or Savathun. The heretics (the nice way of saying... no I'm not telling what I meant) will say it is the Vex... but I know... But do we know what lives in those ships? No... but we have ideas... and the hints towards it are... odd. There are a ton of questions about the Darkness that all spawn from a WIDE variety of things. From short, seemingly insignificant quotes, to actual concept art being a BIG RED FLAG. So... why and how? That concept art I'm referring to: https://cdna.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/007/415/032/large/mark-kolobaev-bungie-concept-artstation.jpg?1505983337 Is that a pyramid ship in the background? If this is the Darkness, why does everything look so... HUMAN? Why are there human hieroglyphs on the walls? Why are there man-made maze patterns on the banners? Is that the Traveler in the middle? Why are those maze patterns in the Cradle on Io? How did they get there? The Darkness and the Light transformed the system. Those with the Light stayed the same. Those in the middle became the Awoken. Those in the outer system became the Jovians. If the Darkness transformed the Jovians, then why does Xur, a Jovian, say the Nine did it? How come none of the Jovian moons we've been to have ANY life on it besides Cabal, Hive, Vex, and Fallen? Where are the Jovians? Why does Light hurt Xur? Why do the Nine consider the loss of Light a blessing? What the -blam!- is the Third Spire? What changed the Emissary? What did the Nine find at the EDGE? What is at the Corona Borealis constellation? What EXACTLY killed all of the Sub-Warminds? How did they die? Are they even dead? What was the shadow that Osiris saw in the Dark Future? Where does the Darkness reside in the Ascendant Plane? How did the Darkness get a ship- no, MULTIPLE ships? Why do Xur's eyes glow yellow? What the -blam!- even is the Io Cradle? Why are the Taken attracted to the Light like moths? What is she running from? The Subminds and even Rasputin fired a SHIT TON of weapons at the Darkness, how come nothing damaged it? Do these ships have any other weapons besides one massive laser? How big are these ships really? Was the Darkness there sometimes to help the Hive? If the Darkness can harness and even give the power to Take, what else can it do? What are those shadow creatures in Cayde's Journal? Hallucinations? Real entities? What the -blam!- is going on here? https://mir-s3-cdn-cf.behance.net/project_modules/1400/7fca3758922683.5a0e1c7f321ea.jpg WHAT IS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE GLOWING EYES? Are the Jovians the secret race? Are the shadow creatures? ARE THEY BOTH? WHY IS EVERYTHING SO HUMAN AND HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN THIS WAY?>

  • Hey buddy I noticed somethings too. The Vex have similar statutes, except they hold what looks like those eye-orb thingies you see on Nessus. When rescuing Cayde on Nessus from the Vex teleported. The maze puzzles are all around the Io Cradle. Some even overlap. Which is really puzzling. You wouldn’t overlap them like that ya know? The Cradle itself seems to have a pattern imprinted on the tops of the pillar things. It also has three archways (with a probably fourth in the back where we can’t see) so something was meant to be coming or going from the Cradle itself. Also when at the Shard, you can see similar pillars [i]inside[/i] the Shard as we see at the Cradle. Oddly the Vex also have similar shaped pillars, inside Nessus. Bathing in the vapor of six suns. Cant remember if it was the same mission or another. That segues into the old Ghost Fragment: Ghost card. Where the Ghost says the “powers that be” fashioned what seems to be a throneworld-esque place that houses seven suns. A possible origin location for the Ghosts since they remember it. Hardy’s armor talks about Moon X cultists killing each other pre-contact. That weird temple? It looks human because it was made by humans most likely. A oddity I’ve noticed replaying the campaign is how the EDZ is walled in with a [i]road checkpoint[/i] and “forbidden” signs in German. Are we to think that during the Collapse they built that? The Shard supposedly didn’t come off till the climax of the battle. There isn’t any indication the Guardians of the Dark Ages did it. Why would they? Take those last three and put them together. To me seems that maybe the Collapse was two fold. The fight and the aftermath then something else happened that brought about the Dark Age. What do you think?
