    I am slowly becoming more and more confident that Savathun would be on our side in this fight, or at least an ally of convenience. She got her goal. She has the light. And she has already displayed that she doesn't want to be a pawn of the witness.

      Exactly, especially now that we learned (as well as I'm pretty sure she realized) that the Witness deceived her into damning her entire race.
      Something like that could very well make her come to our aid.

      Not only is it easily narratively justified in-universe, but it's one of the only ways she'd be introduced back in.
      People ADORE the campaign, leading lady included. She HAS to have a major role when she does come back, and it's hard to rehash her as a big bad who escaped confinement AGAIN so it'll have to be a voluntary alliance (then, maybe she can stab us in the back again after that point).

      Not to mention she clearly has no real quarrel with humanity, all she wanted was to free herself from The Witness and protect The Traveler. If we allowed Immaru to revive her and give her the chance to fight with us, I see no reason why she wouldn’t side with us.

      She’s on her own side, it’s just that her values align with ours, to an extent. She worships the Traveler, she might even have known they were robbed of the Travelers light by the deception of The Witness. She tricked The Witness, showed devotion to the Light, and tried to move the Traveler to her throne world for protection. She could have come to us for help, although obviously we wouldn’t have helped her just ferry the traveler to her throne world, but she didn’t need to, or care to. Humanity was collateral in trying to keep the traveler safe. Maybe she wanted us to beat her so we could find out that we actually do need to trust her.

    I thought it was the Traveler. Savathun was telling us the truth for the first time in years:
    "I have miscalculated. And so have you, so obsessed with your Traveler, you wouldn't even let me keep it save."
    "But the Witness... is coming. The game is yours to play now."
    "Yours to win or lose."
    "Just don't say I didn't warn you."
    "Welp, I'm off to Grillby's."

      Needless to say Savathun was more of a fool than a smartass. She could've decided to bargain a deal with the Last City and work with humanity after she got rid of her worm but instead chose to start a 2 front war against humanity, it's allies and the Witness. Ofc she lost what tf did she expect?? To win against 2 paracausal powers that are able to defy reality??
      For everyone who claims "but the hive still had their pact with the worms!": It didn't matter at this point because the Witness' army was already a hostile faction to savathun so they had to choose their poison one way or another: Kill guardians to feed the worms of the hive warriors and risk being destroyed by 2 factions - or - Work with guardians and maybe find a way to satisfy the hunger of the worms artificially without needing to kill guardians AND forging a new bond with allies to destroy the Witness' army.

    Perhaps Savathun managed to displace the Travellers pale heart or the key the Witness mentioned in the final Witchqueen campaign cutscene, onto Neptune. That would explain why that paracausal energy in the veil is linked to the Traveller and (maybe) why the Witness is so shocked when looking inside the Traveller, because something isnt where its supposed to be.

Even during witch queen she technically was helping the traveller by hiding it in her throne world a place that the witness wouldn’t check or have an easy access to.

    My guess with the veil is as follows: it is something that can be used to suppress paracausal powers. The traveler is powerful, if it is not suppressed it will cast its enemies back among the stars. Savathun, during the first collapse, mimiced the veils effects upon the traveler, convincing the witness it could slay it - but this was a lie, and the traveler cast the witness away. The witness now hunts, once again, for the veil - so that it can defeat the traveler
    But, the veil works both ways. The witness is equally desperate to obtain it to defeat the traveler as it is to prevent its use against itself - the veil can be used to defeat the witness and it may become a tool for us guardians to use against the witness
    However, this is like complete speculation, so could be meaningless...

      Maybe the "Veil" is "woven" from Strand? This is starting to be my personal theory. It seems like the discovery of Strand by our Guardian is catalyzed in some way by entering Neomuna. If this is connected to the Darkness and/or the Traveler then it would explain how Strand is a Darkness power (beyond the ties to consciousness and the connection to the ability to "move worlds" of the Witness and the similar appearances of the Strand supers to Taken enemies with the single glowing eye).

    I suspect even if we do end up temporarily ally with Savathun, it won't last. The current arc is doing a couple of things:
    1) Establishing Light Using Villain Factions
    2) Establishing the difference between the Villains and the Heroes in the overall scheme of things
    #1 doesn't need much more to be said - comments in the ViDoc establish even more Light using villains. #2 is basically the entire arc of the last set of seasons. Crow dealing with having been Uldren is mirrored with Savathun just going back to being Savathun, Misraaks establishing the ways in which he has changed vs. Eramis's refusal to, Ana's emphasis on Rasputin as a PERSON vs. Clovis's position on Rasputin as a thing. All of those bits are thematically linked together in establishing the expected 'norms' for things moving forward. If Savathun does make a turn to long-term ally, they really are going to need at least a season or two to lay the groundwork after literally spending an entire expac plus a season establishing her as the wrong way.

    I honestly would not be surprised if a big part of Lightfall and The Final Shape actually involves Savathun and the Lucent Hive joining forces with The Last City and its Guardians to fully face down The Witness. Remember--she knows now that The Witness lied to her and her siblings, lied to her entire race, conspired with the Worm Gods to completely reshape The Hive to their whims all in their war against The Traveler. The fact that she apparently was a factor in humanity's survival by helping protect The Veil also gives an interesting new understanding to Savathun's dying words to The Traveler: "Wouldn't it be funny, if after all this, you just let me die?". Even before she knew about the Worm's betrayal and deceit, she had been working against The Witness for her own reasons whatever they were. The Hive were originally going to make contact with The Traveler--and while I don't doubt it would be an easy alliance, I truly do think that Savathun and her Lucent Hive have every reason to want to dish out their vengeance on The Witness for what it's done.
    And after all--wouldn't that be interesting and the most compelling finale to the Saga? Humanity's most terrifying enemy turning against The Darkness and fighting by our side to protect the Sol system? The realization that there isn't a good reason to continue hostilities against the Lucent Hive with the reckoning of a common enemy and threat? What if The Final Shape isn't the victory of the Sword Logic OR the Bomb Logic? What if it's something new entirely? Call me crazy, but I think it's not the most outlandish theory to have.

    I find it amusing how much we were hyped about Rasputing and theorized how much he could help us... just for him to be shut down every time he tried to help at something. Huge letdown but still not as sad as Nezarec, which reeks of "we didn't know what to make out of it so here goes anything so we can get rid of it".

    I got a feeling that we will come to learn that Savathun’s deception of hiding Neomuna/ the Veil was also the primary cause or one of the the reasons the Traveler has a giant chunk ripped out of it, creating the Shard in the EDZ,
    So final thought process is this
    On the Witness’s behalf Savathun and her forces attack the Traveler during the Collapse causing permanent damage and the making of the Shard, but in doing so Savathun stole the Veil from the Traveler’s being and stashed it away on Neptune somewhere in Neomuna….

    With the things I've seen, likely not nearly enough, I think the darkness is the epitome of "as long as you remember them, they can never die". For enemies with/using the darkness, the phrase that suits in my mind in the voice of Savathun "The enemies of your enemies are your friend, Guardian? The memories of MY enemies.. are my immortality."
    The Witness is one that remembers, Witnessed through the Darkness the civilizations left in ruins and forgotten after it leaves. The Traveler bathed them in its light, raised them up, and then allowed them to collapses when its influence is gone. The Witness isn't just an evil out to destroy good. It's Destiny's character of revenge for the civilizations and worlds that have been lost since the Traveler had begun meddling with causality in order to keep itself alive.

  • @calimantis

    It had been a theory/headcanon of mine the moment we learned about the Witness and his Disciples, and that Savathun had taken the Traveler for the sake of trying to hide it away and keep it safe, that Savathun's own goals were perhaps not so different from our own, and that the possibility that we might one day forge a relationship as allies, however tenuous, was now a very real possibility. Rasputin sacrificing himself because humanity no longer needed him further reinforces the idea in my mind that not only will Savathun be resurrected, but that we may become allies with her and her Lucent Brood. Humanity and its allies might find the idea of allying with her to be absolutely insane and borne of desperation, given what she's done and without knowing what exactly her intentions really are in the long run, but all life in the system is at the brink of termination, and an insane and desperate play may be the best and only shot we have

      Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Lucent Hive are only found on Savathun's Throne Ship. They don't have to go out to raid, since they don't Tithe.

    So this is my prediction for what happened during the Collapse involving Savathûn, The Witness, The Black Fleet, Neomuna, and The Veil:
    Savathûn as a Disciple-in-training or auxiliary was tasked by either The Witness or Nezarec to find The Veil.
    She succeeds, but instead of turning it over to either, she uses it for her own ends. Using it not only to trick the Witness and frame Nezarec for the failure of the Collapse.
    Nezarec is deemed as a traitor and left entombed on Luna. Though like an Ahamkara or Worm God, his death didn’t mean his end. He still had vast power, including keeping Crota’s Hive away but also allowing Mithrax’s mother aboard his Pyramid to cut apart his corpse. Thus turning himself into the relics and spreading his influence.
    Meanwhile, Savathûn hides The Veil on what will become Neomuna. “Entrusting” it to the people of Neomuna who use it boost their technological capacity…as well as remain hidden.
    Savathûn then continued plotting out different plans and contingencies for possible futures.
    Eventually settling with removing her Worm and taking a gamble to become a Lightbearer. She would also then seal The Traveler in her Throne World as it’s protectors along with her Lucent Brood.
    Which we stopped her…but in doing so, actually played into The Witnesses hands.
    I’m guessing the Witness didn’t strike after Arrivals in order to make final preparations. Including dealing with Savathûn, finding a new Disciple (doing so in Calus), and trying to bring Guardians into it’s service. Oh, and secure The Veil proper this time.

    • @jordanread5829
      @jordanread5829 Рік тому +6

      Hell, you could even frame Savathun "gifting" Calus the Crown of Sorrow as a way to deny The Witness a new Disciple. And it almost worked. According to one of the repressed memories found in Duality, after the Crown took over Galhran, The Witness (well the voice in Calus' head) 'vanished'. Didn't help that The Witness was pleading with Calus to just forget about the Crown. As it was clearly a trap and any measures Calus took to work around it would fail. Hence why Calus was obsessed to try and reestablish their communications.

    And if he does return… somehow… I hope new Warsats can make their return too… those seem like too good weapons to just never make more of them… even if they were destroyed for a good reason…

    I believe the Veil might be related to the garden in which Light and Dark first started their game at the beginning of creation and that it could be used to tip the scales into the favor of whichever side uses it. Wishing for the game to continue, rather than use it, The Traveler would keep it out of hands of The Witness who knowing this is hoping to use it to end the game once and for all and to have Darkness ultimately triumph. Or ya know, something we eventually turn into a gun. Either way, I'm sure we'll have a better understanding of what it is come Lightfall and I can't wait.

    We have a season of the deep. The deep, for Destiny, makes most think of Fundament. I could see Savathun coming back in that expansion, maybe we meet Taox.
    Now for the Veil, what if were taking what a Veil is to literally? It is something that obscures, but it can also be something you wear, so maybe Light falls because the Sphere is gone, but because we secured the Veil, it gives the Traveler a "Physical Form" like the Witness. That is why the witness needs to keep the veil from the Traveler, they would be on equal footing if the traveler got the Veil.

      My guess, the Veil is the "pale heart" that the Witness said was the key at the end of Witch Queen. However in Vox Obsura one of the vision alongs side Eramis and Leviathan returning was "Traveller infected with Darkness" and in Vow the wall says "Witness communes with Traveller and drinks the Light". So i feel the Witness isnt looking to destroy the Traveller but instead trying to gain the Light. That way he would have the Light and all his Darkness powers and try make himself into the Final Shape.

    I think that the traveler sees much more than what humanity can perceive, our goals may be noble yes, but the traveler knows far more than us. It knows that humanity with all its power even with the light it gives isn’t enough. The cabal uniting with humanity, the eliksni joining our fight, and now rumors of “malfunctioning” vex who showed signs of independent action against how they SHOULD behave? I think the traveler is playing a clever game that no one sees, to bring together all alien races and factions who once fought eachother and wared over the light to now unite with humanity to defend it against the witness. The traveler willingly gave savathun the light. The traveler knew it would be safe in savathuns thrown world. We were still able to use the light when it was there or almost there. Would we have still been able to use it when it was fully inside her thrown world? Who knows, but savathun warned us that we had made a huge mistake at the end of the witch Queen campaign. And honestly, I can’t help but feel we should she was right.
