Dreadfang's Text and the Future (Theory)

Dreadfang, the awaited Taken Sword. It is average but looks so awesome. And it may give a clue to the next expansion and/or the next game. This is the text found on the Dreadfang: [quote]Kingly brother, I thank you for the gift of your failure. The sword logic demands a pinnacle. [/quote] Now anybody that is a grimoire-whore like me will know that Oryx has two siblings, both sisters, named Savathun and Xivu Arath. All three of them have tried to overthrow each other multiple times. But anyway, let us analyze this. [quote]Kingly brother, I thank you for the gift of your failure.[/quote] This is one of Oryx's sisters speaking about Oryx, hence the "Kingly brother" line. She (we know it is a she we just don't know which one) is obviously talking about how Oryx has failed in taking over the solar system (Regicide and King's Fall). She likes this and accepts her brother's defeat with open arms. [quote]The sword logic demands a pinnacle.[/quote] The Sword Logic is the Hive idea that killing more and more enemies will make you extremely powerful to the point where you might as well be ruler of the whole universe. The only way to effectively do this is to eliminate or control everything. They did this so that the Hive worms could be fed and the Hive would not die. The problem is that they most constantly kill things to feed the worm, for the more the worm was fed, the more hungry it would get. The Vex were able to get into Oryx's Ascendant Realm (via Crota by complete accident, dumbass Crota, no wonder we killed him) and deduce the Sword Logic and ended up becoming gods in Oryx's Realm. Now what does "pinnacle" mean exactly? Pinnacle is a high, pointed piece of rock... wow OK. OK that is not its only meaning. Pinnacle can also be used to describe the highest point of something or the end. Proof of this is when I ended up researching what "Entropy's Pinnacle" meant since Bungie does have a tendency to name things that relate to things that barely anybody knows about[u][b]*[/b][/u]. So what this unidentified being is saying is that the Sword Logic wills an end/has an end. Oryx was the most powerful of the three and was so powerful that it caused his own sisters to move to other parts of the galaxy in order to get their worms fed (you know that sounds really weird with no context). I like to believe Savathun was saying this, since this April Update is about her son, Malok (oh and we killed one of her daughters, Balwur). Another reason would be that Savathun is known for being manipulative and dangerous through the same ways I am ignored and invisible in real life (not literally invisible). However it is nice to believe Xivu Arath has a personality that does not just involve trying to kill Taox and declaring war on everything that is not Hive. TL:DR - Read it. *Entropy's Pinnacle theory: [spoiler]Entropy's Pinnacle means the theoretical end of the Universe as we know it. Now hear me out on this. [quote]Entropy: lack of order or predictability; gradual decline into disorder.[/quote] Entropy is disorder and Pinnacle can mean the highest point/high end of something. Entropy is also a term used in Physics that describes the "randomness or disorder of the Universe". Since the Vex control the fabric of spacetime through the use of gates, the Black Garden, and the Vault of Glass, and the Taken are a significant threat to the Vex (more so than the Hive even), the end of the Vex will mean the end of the Universe. Since we got rid of the Vex's future by killing the Taken of the Vault and seeing what will happen if the Echo of Oryx on Venus continues to live, we go to the Citadel to eradicate it. It is my belief that the Vex have succeeded in becoming an essential in spacetime, but not enough to execute their full will. If we kill the Vex now, the Universe will cease to exist. The control of spacetime but not enough to execute all may cause random occurrences and increase the amount of entropy. This may work the opposite but who really knows at this point. Either way, we kill the Vex = everything ends. Enough has been said now. Too much. We cannot kill the Vex, but they can kill us, conclusion reached, peace with them (somehow) or get rekt. TL:DR - Killing Vex = End of Universe[/spoiler] So yeah, what do you guys think?

  • I would just like to point out a few things: A) the Sword Logic isn't about destroying everything to become powerful. It's about trying to destroy everything to test it. If it can be destroyed, it is not perfect, and deserves to be destroyed. The Hive are actually okay with being destroyed because of this logic. They recognize that they made a mistake or were not strong enough, and that they deserved to die. B) just because the sword text uses the word pinnacle, it does not mean it has an end. Just as you pointed out, the more the worms are fed, the more they demand. Technically, every moment is a pinnacle for the Hive as they constantly have to do better and better.
