[u]So yes I’m aware Shadowkeep ain’t even here yet and if you’re here to preach hate, I can’t be asked with you so leave. [/u] Anyways. We recently learned season of Dawn will be what is known as season 9 in Destiny 2 during year 3. So whilst walking home the other day it got me thinking as to what we will see and who we shall be meeting. So here are some ramblings and the general (plus my own) theories about season nine: [b]Mithrax and house Light[/b]: So the most popular theory for season 9 is that we shall see the return of house Light and Mithrax for some reason or another. The correlation being that Light and dawning being a related idea. Personally I don’t agree with this theory. I don’t think that we will see a return of Mithrax till later on in year 3. I’d like to also suggest that the connection people have made between “Dawn” and “Light” don’t really work in this sense because one refers to the Sun and time, and one refers to the Traveler’s “Light”. [b]Dawning[/b]: So the second season of each year has aired during or just before the event known as the dawning. It happened with season of the Forge and season of Osiris (season 2). The coincidence that this season shares an identical word being Dawn. However; again not a very strong theory for two reasons; 1) dawning only lasts three weeks whereas seasons last about three to four months, and 2) there is no way the dawning can possibly help resolve what happens in season of the Undying. Ok. Now those two are out the way I’d like to talk about some ramblings and mention of a few leaks (I won’t say what they are you can go look that up for yourselves). So. What we know so far about season of Dawn is this: takes place after season of the Undying. Is supposed to try to rectify an event that occurs during season of the Undying (not how it’s the season itself and not Shadowkeep, so that means that something during the season will occur). And it’s not about any one specific dawn but about dawns in general. So. What could possibly happen? Well I have two theories: [b]Theory 1) the vex problem escalated enough to warrant a response from Osiris himself.[/b] The vex are meant to invade everywhere throughout season 8 and we are meant to stop them in a final vex incursion, which is represented by a picture that looks like the Undying mind. So I believe we may be seeing a rehashed version of the Undying mind strike take place towards the end of the season, stopping the vex invasion. But the vex having shown their power, proves Osiris wasn’t insane at all. The vanguard then request his presence in the tower for season 9 and he then becomes that temp vendor bungie went on about. A new event opens up in the infinite forest similar to haunted forest. It will eventually end with us taking over the infinite forest properly, removing the vex’s superior presence, but resistance is occurring hence why Osiris leaves at the end of the season. [b]Theory 2) return to the leviathan.[/b] so I won’t actually state what the supposed ‘leaks’ said entirely but apparently what Eris awakens in Shadowkeep is what causes the vex invasions. This sparks the greater interest of Calus and his grand plans. He then seeks us out and tries to accelerate the happenings of the Chronicon’s contents. What then follows is a full season of us trying to change Calus’ mind about everything. We try to get him to align himself with the Light and make him a full ally instead of possible one. This wouldn’t work entirely. Only a little bit. His mind would be at conflict after we show him...something. Maybe a direct interaction with the Light. Or maybe us saving his life from something. Either way the idea is about instead of being on the dawn of the coming dark, we are instead on the dawn to a new light. So yeah. Those are my theories. And they’re just that. Theories. Post your own below or whatever. Thanks for putting up with this spewing of ideas.
