<My thing is the differences between the uses of "I" and "we". I have no doubt that the Winnower's power, and thus the Winnower itself, flows through every ship in that fleet, but there's definitely something more at play. The use of "I" implies a singular entity. IT uses this a lot during Unveiling. There is no other God of Darkness. Just the one. "We" implies multiple beings. I don't think the Nightmares count in that regard. The Nightmares are shadows of their former selves, a hollow and almost emotionless (except the parts that matter to the victim) husk. They are Darkness reformed to fit a certain shape. This unlike, say, the Taken, who are actual beings reshaped by the Dark. There's also the sketch in Cayde's book and the things the Drifter encountered. The former has double jointed legs, yet takes a humanoid shape above, but with spikes on its back. This is nothing like anything we have on Earth. The latter was an entire race that roamed freely and had properties Nightmares lacked. While this is an interesting idea, IMO there are too many coincidences regarding one or even two races to ignore. What I take this as is that each Pyramid is tied to the Winnower for energy.>
