You know how the Tower just sends us on missions but doesn't let us ask any questions or find anything out?
Well if that is their intention, there is one small problem. We could just wander off and find out for ourselves. Take a trip down to the city or wherever else we might find answers.
Except we can't. Because if you go off course, a warning pops up telling you to turn back, and then you mysteriously die, and it's called a misadventure.
But how could you die when there was nothing around to kill you? Well there is one thing, actually.
Your Ghost.

Edited by ZZKoverts: 12/10/2014 6:04:15 PM[b][i]From the journal of Toland the shattered:[/i][/b] Not much is understood about the forces of darkness arrayed against us. The Cabal, in their aggressiveness, make close study risky and imprecise. The Vex and The Hive, are arcane and inscrutable. It can't even be determined if they possess language and culture. But our closest neighbours, The Fallen, are much more familiar. Their culture and hierarchies are similar to those of ancient humans. They have royalty, priests, gods. They have language. And what we know of it disturbs me greatly. Did you know that the Fallen have no word to describe humans? No, their word for us, every one of us, is [i]Traveller.[/i] The Fallen see no difference between we humans and our great protector in the sky. It isn't hard to see why. They have seen our bodies pulled from the dust by our Ghosts. They have seen us transformed into radiant demons who burn them from the earth, decapitate their monarchs and pound their gods to scrap metal. All with the light of the traveller. The Fallen are numerous, but primitive and brutal. The strong and proud, with many arms, hold dominion over the weak. We are Traveller. And traveller has more arms than any other.
