Nyx, the dark goddess
This is some crazy speculation, but it's fairly well supported.
One of Xur's most famous quotes is, "your traveler has a dark mirror." I thought that this was very interesting, obviously the traveler is a parallel to the darkness, but the darkness is a nebulous thing, with no distinct embodiment. A mirror implies seeing an (altered) image of yourself. This is where Nyx comes in. Nyx is mentioned in context with the hive gods. You can ask Anon Pig about this if you want. Besides that, there is a blue ship called the fangs of Nyx. The discription is "beware her maw." Maw, now that's an interesting word. Where have we heard that before. If you've seen the new artifacts coming in TTK, you may remember an artifact mentioning a Kell of stone standing against a dark maw. In fact, many times, the darkness is referred to as a "maw." This leads me to believe that the traveler is not evil. In fact, the traveler, as also speculated by Anon, is female. It's the Alpha lupi. The alpha wolf. So after that, it gets me thinking. What if the fallen weren't contacted by the traveler? In a strike reward for the TTK, called the barons ambition, it says that the ambition is to crack open the depraved earth servitor and reclaim the great machine. I think the earth servitor is the traveler. And inside is the great machine. Inside the traveler, is the darkness.
I'm probably wrong about half of this, but leave a comment below to tell me what you
think of my theory.
Edit: this is supposed to be in the post, but Nyx is the Greek mother goddess of darkness. Boom. Rekd

I think the biggest problem here is that Nyx isn't technically the goddess of darkness. She's considered to be the primeval goddess of night. There is a significant difference between the two.

2 RepliesIn the original story the black garden was in the traveler, so along the lines of the original story this is probably accurate, now though who the -blam!- knows what bungie did to the story.

Well, now we know that the darkness is actually the deep. So, if you think about it, maybe "Nyx" created the deep as an embodiment of herself to do what she wants it to do. So if the deep is made by the pure darkness, then we are to the traveler what the the deep is to Nyx.

2 RepliesEdited by HCDrifter1024: 10/25/2015 2:25:17 AMA "maw" is usually considered as the mouth of an animal or beast. When looking at the darkness fragment 2 grimiore, it described the universe as a beast. Any connection? Edit: also, while reading the grimiore on the taken, it states the Oryx's powers work like a "jaw". It sucks in the victim and spits out a shadow

15 RepliesAwesome, the only part I disagree on is that the darkness is in the traveler, while I do think the Eliksni are trying to get whatever it is that they want back from the traveler, they are not part of the darkness and we already know that the darkness is at the edge of our system.

2 RepliesEdited by I Kessos I: 10/24/2015 8:22:22 PMBumping this back up. Guess what also mentions the maw. There's a warlock relic called "Broken Crown", it says something along the lines of, tails tell of Chelics, kell of stone, who stood before the maw. I believe that this kell of stone was there during the whirlpool (the fallens own collapse) and he stood before Nyx and fell.

Great theory! I like it and support it! So Nyx is what.... The overlord I guess of all darkness. Osiris had already stated something around the lines of Oryx isn't the highest it goes on the scale of darkness....
