1. Could happen, but didn’t. 2. Pyramids would need to arrive far earlier than they had to interact with House of Wolves. We had dismantled the house during the expansion. 3. He doesn’t have the military backing nor technology to act as a genuine threat to the Guardians. With no ability to surprise our light, we would invade the Leviathan, dismantle its weapons, and then kill Calus. Just look at Taken King. Same scenario, but Oryx was more scary. 4. This doesn’t change much. Immaru was obsessed with the Books of Sorrow, and felt vindicated when he found he could resurrect Savathune. He was then radicalized by the Guardians willingness to crush other Ghosts, even if they were Hive Ghosts. 5. Couldn’t happen. Rasputin was scrubbed so cleanly of any knowledge of Rasputin that the only remaining piece of code was a single line that gave nothing but a keyword. That was the only Acknowledgment. 6. Couldn’t happen. Savathune betrayed the witness during the collapse. Even so, her trickery was not discovered until she excised her Worm. She killed Nezerec and hid away the Veil. She then started moving pawns to ensure she could become a lightbearer. During this time, Rhulk was sent to ascend Savathune into the status of Disciple, unaware of her plan. She put a spell on his Pyramid, sealing him within, where she then excised her worm and became a Lightbearer. Rhulk being sent to Neomuna requires that Rhulk never be sent to her Throne World, which requires Savathune be discovered before she chooses to excuse her worm. Furthermore, Calus was just a pawn, designed to get the Ghost near the Veil, so the Witness could use the Ghost to make a link between the Veil and Traveler through it. 7 - 10. Fanfiction. All of this requires the characters to change the way they act, plans, and even their personalities. Savathune was already making moves to become a lightbearer. Crow not wishing for Cayde completely removes that guilt and shame that is so ingrained into his character. So on so forth. 11. The Dread were a creation of the Witness within the Traveler. They had yet to exist at the beginning of D1, and thus, were a non factor.
