Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The last one will be revealed at the end here.
These are the first eight, how do I know, check this post:[url]https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/183671130/0/0/1[/url]
this is a list of what xur says while he's in the tower.
He mentions that the traveler has a dark mirror that being the worms here's why.
The traveler uses the power of the sky(light) to give the dead, life and infuse them with it's powers.
The worms use the power of the deep(dark) to take the living and infuse them with their powers
there is your mirror, now then. notice how he mentions he moves base mostly on the planets position (note there is basically your answer there but this gets deeper)
Now think why here? why our system? because there is a focal point of some kind of impossible power here and it involves unlocking and correctly matching the nines worlds. (Note: just had a thought this far in, I'm going to need to do an analysis of the planets main composition.)
Now lets test your mythology. Everyone know their Norse?
So in Norse, there is the tree of life and it connects all the nine realms, earth is at the center. That's all I need to convince me there is some kind of link to great power there. (nine again)
So when we get this ninth world and get everything arranged right like xur said we open some kind of portal to some other worlds or allow some kind of power to come flowing through like the power of the tree of life.
Now the pat you've been waiting for. that ninth world. Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.....and the reef.
Yes I know the reef isn't a planet but consider this. The exo stranger mentions that the awoken waver between the light and the dark which is bad for everyone I'm assuming. I'm willing to bet the awoken are the key, much like when we're doing the sword quest we have to make willbreaker's shard and the hadium flakes we start off by making it waver between the light and the dark and once we do we seal it to the light, making the exotic swords. The awoken are the same, right now they are more or less wavering between the light and the dark and we need to seal them to the light to [b]make[/b] the ninth world by using the asteroid belt, combing the fragments to form a world that never was to ultimately give victory to the sky(light) or the deep(dark) .
The reef is the ninth world that we have to create by sealing to the light if we are to win the war against the dark. Do you agree?
[b]Extended theory[/b]: I learned some things from you guys and now I'm extending with my new knowledge. So I believe the nine are also in a bad state right now as I believe there are only 4 active member (the Jovians) of the nine because they don't want their corrupted sibling Mercury and infected siblings Mars and Venus and the possibly infected sibling earth, to take part in orchestrating the events that will unfold to decide who will seal the ninth world to the light or dark. They want to prevent any bias from either side to assist in that decision so now the nine are helping the light for now (but only to the extent where they will cleanse their siblings from the vex machines inside them) hence the reason why the Joivians are the more important and most mentioned. The nine can be believed to be the cores of the planets as the traveler (in our case) would be the core of the ninth world. meaning the rest of the nine could be similar to the traveler.
Edit: I have returned.
Edit: forgot Neptune. Here I am trying to be smart.
Edit: Changed the title due to some fuss over it.

If only the actual GAME were as deep as the lore and theories. Here's hoping we don't get kiddy pool shallow story in Destiny 2
-
i think xur and tess are related
-
I just got a theory that Wil mind blown you.. It's about strange coins. [i]so strange coins feel warm and vibrate when you touch it was if it like takes the data out of our experience a way to see what we do and are like they are like a reward from bringing them whatever they want for a while strange coins got nerfed but if you look at the nerf at a lore kind of way we need better and new exotic gear it takes the nine a lot more trouble to get the exotics and so they make it even more rare but to make a long story short they want information about us and the only way we don't fight back is because xur gives guardians exotics and other stuff to make it easier to finish their [u]destiny[/u] and also because everyone fears them and also failed to get him away [/i]

Edited by PomOnline: 12/31/2015 3:43:09 PMPut your foil hats on and read this from Norse mythology on the number 9 Nine The number nine is also a significant number: The Norse cosmology knows nine worlds that are supported by Yggdrasil.At the end of Skáldskaparmál is a list of nine heavenly realms provided by Snorri, including, from the nethermost to the highest, Vindblain (also Heidthornir or Hregg-Mimir), Andlang,Vidblain, Vidfedmir, Hrjod, Hlyrnir, Gimir, Vet-Mimir and Skatyrnir which "stands higher than the clouds, beyond all worlds."Every ninth year, people from all overSweden assembled at the Temple at Uppsala. There was feasting for nine days and sacrifices of both men and male animals according to Adam of BremenIn Skírnismál, Freyr is obliged to wait nine nights to consummate his union with Gerd.In Svipdagsmál, the witch Gróa grants nine charms to her son Svipdag. In the same poem there are nine maidens who sit at the knees of MenglodIn Fjölsvinnsmál, Laegjarn's chest is fastened with nine locks.During Ragnarök, Thor kills Jörmungandr but staggers back nine steps before falling dead himself, poisoned by the venom that theSerpent spewed over him.According to the very late Trollkyrka poem, the fire for the blót was lit with nine kinds of wood.Odin's ring Draupnir releases eight golden drops every ninth night, forming rings of equal worth for a total of nine rings.In the guise of Grímnir in the poemGrímnismál, Odin allows himself to be held by King Geirröd for eight days and nights and kills him on the ninth after revealing his true identity.There are nine daughters of ÆgirThere are nine mothers of HeimdallThere are nine great lindworms:Jörmungandr, Níðhöggr, Grábakr, Grafvölluðr, Ofnir, Svafnir, Grafvitni and his sons Góinn and Móinn.The god Hermod rode Sleipnir for nine nights on his quest to free Baldr from theunderworldThe giant Baugi had nine thralls who killed each other in their desire to possess Odin's magical sharpening stoneThe god Njord and his wife Skadi decided to settle their argument over where to live by agreeing to spend nine nights in Thrymheimand nine nights at NóatúnThe giant Thrivaldi has nine heads.The clay giant Mokkurkalfi measured nine leagues high and three broad beneath the arms.When Odin sacrificed himself to himself, he hung upon the gallows of Yggdrasill for nine days and nights. In return, he secured rúnar 'runes, secret knowledge'.The valknut symbol is three interlocking triangles forming nine points.There are nine surviving deities of Ragnarök, including Baldr and Hödr, Magni and Modi, Vidar and Váli, Hoenir, the daughter of Sól and a ninth "powerful, mighty one, he who rules over everything".

illuminati confirmed

Mind completely blown. Makes alot of sense well done
-
The real reason Destiny's story was scrapped: 'The Nine' planets were an integral part of the story and Pluto is no longer considered a planet. Damnit, science!
-
I bet your theory is a million times deeper than anything Bungie intended for Destiny's dull lifeless universe.
-
Interesting

-
Yeah nine bungie employees that decide what is sold each week. Hes the agent that sells them
-
I learned two thing the first mind blown and the second was ulliminati
-
Destiny is stupid anyway

Bump for later

Illuminati confirmed.

The Asteroid Belt is a ninth planet that Jupiter's gravity prevents from accreting, much like the gravity of the moons of Saturn prevent the rings from accreting. Accretion disks and belts are not otherwise stable.

Chat shit , get banged

OP good theories. REAL TALK vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv F those cards though!!! The story should have been implemented in the game period. The go read some cards you have to find outside of the game instead of Bungie just making true in game videos or a in game codex is just lazy. TTK was a good step but it should have been that way from the start. I hope Destiny 2 actually has more in game story.

There's another theory that were the nine our guardian is one of the nine if u read grimiore or petra
-
Edited by Valvatorez: 12/31/2015 2:54:01 PMGood theory. But still i believe the nine are beings. As what the guy below me stated osiris have met them and some of the grimoire card kinda hints that they are beings. I'll give a definitive proof when i find the cards. I'll re edit and show you. Overall a great theory still :) Deserves a favorite.

My theory: xur is an agent of nine Xur sells 3 armer every visit Divide nine by 3 u get 3 A triangle has 3 sides alluminati comfirmed

All this great lore, and it isn't efficiently conveyed in the game. It would make for a much more compelling story if we knew more. I know it's a 10-year plan, but come on. If you have to go to a third-party site to catch up on the brief story that didn't convey much, it's not helping the players understand the plot. A majority of the players probably don't even have the app or go on the forums, so they have no way of knowing what has actually happened or what's going on in Destiny. They most likely don't read the Grimoire cards either. All they is is the Darkness is bad, go fight it. They don't know why, how, when or anything else for that matter.

Decent theory but there is one major hole, Osiris meets the nine in person on Europa, how can the Nine be planets when he meets the nine on Europa in person.
