At the same time, Eris identifies a signal emitting from the artifact that leads deep within the Black Garden, to which a fireteam of Guardians was sent to The Final Update within the Bunkers now shows another gradual increase to a total of fifty-four Pyramids with the Lead Pyramid being a large one that now bears down on Saturn and its moon of Titan. Both warred, which causes the initiation of the universe at the big bang, and Both entered the universe as elements capable of changing the rules: the paracausal forces of Light and Dark. The Gardener decided to add a new rule to their game that would reward and promote the creation of complexity (in other words, the Light) infuriating the Winnower who found this final pattern to be an ideal state. The third nation will succeed, inevitably, and in time will lead to a greater conflict between other nations which all represent the desire to conquer and dominate. In the Darkness's view, this is the most moral outcome, as only living things can suffer and death is the end of suffering, while the final shape by its nature has no room within itself to suffer. The Gardener became dissatisfied when playing a game allegorically simulating the universe, as all configurations were eventually consumed by a seemingly eternal final pattern. Share 0. The Hive made a pact with their highest gods, the The majority of Vex avoid the Darkness, due to a combination of their inability to compute anything paracausal and the fact that their ultimate goal of Convergence (an end state of the universe where only the Vex exist) means they would have to overcome the Darkness when it is utterly impossible. The Worms taught the nascent Hive Gods of the Much later, the Hive God Auryx (who was once Aurash) slew the Worm God Akka in order to obtain enough power to commune with the Deep directly, and the Deep soon gave him the power to Prior to the Collapse, a Human mining expedition on Luna was commissioned by The only solid information on the Darkness gathered by humanity itself comes from an ISR report from centuries ago.In an attempt to better understand the phenomenon by recreating all of its known variables (also known as a "bootstrap simulation"), Rasputin reran the data through a series of iterations which included a number of randomized inputs, in a process known as a Monte Carlo analysis. An entity taking the form of the Guardian approaches them, claiming to be neither a friend nor an enemy, but their salvation. Despite this, it was unable to derive any definitive information about the event or its source; however, it was able to determine that whatever was behind the event was clearly a complex structure, acting with clear purpose. At some point during the Dark Ages, the Vex in the Months after the battle between Rasputin and Nokris' Grasp, the Scorn, an undead group of Fallen who were corrupted by Darkness-infused ether effected a prison breakout from the Prison of Elders. However, before the Darkness can do anything else, they are saved by an intervention from Soon, the Pyramid ships would spread further beyond Io, with three more ships now above Because so few survived the Collapse, the exact nature of the Darkness is unclear. 1. While the story above is laden with metaphor and open to interpretation, it appears to suggest that the universe is the "game" which the Light and Darkness played in the garden, that the rules of the game are the laws of physics as they are commonly understood, and that the "new rules" that the Light and Darkness became are the basis of The earliest recorded mention of the Darkness known to the Guardians comes from the The Worm Gods promised to lend the sisters their paracausal powers, which they drew from the Deep, in return for the sisters becoming hosts for the Worms' larvae.
