So after some reading, playing the nightstalker subclass, and facing a few Nightstalkers in the crucible, I have a theory. Well a couple really.
The first comes from the grimoire card for Nightstalker. In the card it says [quote]Do not hunt the monster. Become the monster.[/quote]
Now that may seem like very little. But Tevis also speaks to the Guardian about how to embrace the path of the Nightstalker is to walk closer to the Darkness than any other Guardian. Is it possible that the Nightstalker's power truly does come from the Darkness and not the Traveler's light? To know this for sure, we would need to know who the first one was. But I do believe that the power of the Nightstalker is a form of corrupted Light, or Blessed Darkness, or something of the sort.
Secondly. We know Hunters can blink. Supposedly it was taught to them by the Warlocks, though they executed it in very different ways. Warlocks walked through the void. Hunters just entered insane bursts of speed. But Shadestep...is that a form of Blink? Is that the Hunter stepping through the void for the smallest fraction of a second to avoid attack? I'm not so sure on that one..but I'd love to discuss it!
Anything else anyone wants to comment on, feel free!

I like this theory. It feels like the hunter would be walking the thin line, using the power whilst trying to avoid being corrupted by it. Path to hell and good intentions, you know?
