Okay, this is gonna sound absolutely insane. And I hope to god I’m wrong.
However, if I’m right, it could explain a lot.
Now, if anyone did the invitations of the nine, we know that drifter is in deep with the Nine and the darkness, but the line the Emissary had said after the last vision didn’t really make sense.
[quote]The night falls. Out there on the edge, your fate is a war unseen amid ruined fleets. Two women: feared, untrusted, forever at arms length. Here at home, your fate is a coin in the hand of a liar. One man, afraid. You must reckon with yourself.[/quote]
Now at first, everyone has speculated that this could relate to someone like Mara Sov, Savathûn, the Exo Stranger, so on and so forth. Why shouldn’t it? The nine clearly said that Mara is fighting a war while we’re here in one other invitation.
However, I don’t think that’s the case.
I think, it might actually be referring to the Traveler and The Darkness. Why do I say this? What’s my evidence?
Evidence 1: In most parts of the game, the traveler is either referred to as “It” or sometimes in the sense of a “Her” when going back to destiny’s conception. A while back there was a video that showed a draft where some godly woman had met the astronauts, saying the traveler was coming. What was weird, was the women herself. Why go with a humanoid figure?
Expanding on that, there is a statute in the Pyramid and in the Garden of Salvation, that looks like a hooded woman. It would make sense that if there was a maiden of darkness, there would be one of light, right?
Evidence 2: The Lore Cards we get every week from Eris. Supposedly these are messages about the game of life and death, played by light and dark, sent to us by the Darkness. They speak of a game of gardening. With rules on how to play the game, every day. Like chess.
What is weird is the phrasing they often used to describe the winnower and the gardener. Again, using terms that are completely gender neutral, but it eludes to it being a woman behind the card. Winnowers and gardeners, for lack of a better historical subject, have commonly been associated with women.
I’m not mocking it, but that’s what most historical evidence often tells me. A gardener who plants her flowers, and a winnower who removes them. A game of chance, and again, makes it seem like two women.
Now, granted, I think I’ll be wrong. However, if I’m right, I think I’ve gone crazy.
Any other evidence to this sort of theory would be greatly appreciated.

What was that line Mara said at the start of the taken king ''My mother was starlight my father was the dark''. Could that have anything to do with anything?
-
Title too clickbaity.
-
It's obviously a reference to Mars Sov, Eris Morn, and the Drifter. You're looking to make things more interested than they are.
-
I like this Idea Could be the case, who knows This game has been going for 5 years and we still have : NO EFFING IDEA WHATSOEVER what the hell the darkness is
-
I mean, it's pretty clear to me, that the traveller is just a vessel. Think about the shapes (circle, light, triangle darkness). But in all honesty, bungie doesn't know what the darkness is. More importantly, they will not explain what it is. Not until the last encounter. The darkness is the pinacle enemy. They have lurked around the cosmos for billions of years. They are above any threat that we faced. If darkness is identified, it will lead to a showdown. If that happens, then what's left? Anything else seems like a "deus ex machina". What could be worse than the darkness, that hasn't showed up in billions of years?

Bump [spoiler] get back to Offtopic[/spoiler]

This is all well and good, but how many cups are involved?
-
Started good, and i think you're right. But by the end you were reaching pretty hard
-
I’m starting to think it refers to Eris (arms length) and us (sharped blade).
-
Well the coin and the lying man is the Drifter. He is associated with the Emissary. Reckon, coin, fate. That all points to her and him. The emissary was transformed into what she is. As I recall when the Awoken cryptarch went through the gate at cocoytus, she met the previous version of the Emissary, when was still Orin the Guardian. That’s two versions of her running around. Two women and only one can survive.

Um, i thought it was pretty obvious that it was Savathun and Xiva Arath: Oryx’s two sisters
-
Clickbait on the forums seems to be a growing trend
-
Amanda Holiday calls it 'big guy' so I quite honestly think applying a gender to the traveller is just like calling a car or any inaminate object 'she'
-
I dig it. Guess well see in the coming weeks
-
the darkness is always so close and follows the traveler wherever it goes if i remember from d1 campaign.
-
I can’t remember where, but there was a lore card where a ghost refers to the Traveler as a “She”. You might have something here
