First off, thank you for accepting me into the clan. I hope to explore the story and find every last bit of Destiny along with my fellow guardians.
Now to buisness. The Darkness has always been under speculation, either its purpose, place of creation, or really anything.
I`ve found something that may prove, that in fact, [b]we[/b] are the darkness. Let me guide you through this little secret amongst the grimoire.
To quote Black Garden: Legends in the Legends and Mysteries section...
[quote]I am Pujari. These are the visions I have had of the Black Garden.
The Traveler moved across the face of the iron world. It opened the earth and stitched shut the sky. It made life possible. In these things there is always symmetry. Do you understand? This is not the beginning but it is the reason.
The Garden grows in both directions. It grows into tomorrow and yesterday. The red flowers bloom forever.
There are gardeners now. They came into the garden in vessels of bronze and they move through the groves in rivers of thought.
This is the vision I had when I leapt from the Shores of Time and let myself sink:
I walked beneath the blossoms. The light came from ahead and the shadows of the flowers were words. They said things but I will not write them here.
At the end of the path grew a flower in the shape of a Ghost. I reached out to pluck it and it cut me with a thorn. I bled and the blood was Light.
The Ghost said to me: You are a dead thing made by a dead power in the shape of the dead. All you will ever do is kill. You do not belong here. This is a place of life.
The Traveler is life, I said. You are a creature of Darkness. You seek to deceive me.
But I looked behind me, down the long slope where the blossoms tumbled in the warm wind and the great trees wept sap like blood or wine, and I felt doubt.
When my Ghost raised me from the sea there was a thorn-cut in my left hand and it has not healed since.[/quote]
What this shows, Is that one of us, a Guardian, has seen either a clever trick of the darkness, or has been indoctrinated of the real truth that is-we are the darkness.
Now, to the names of the classes.
Titan, typically know as some kind of giant, or incredible golem.
Warlock, in a fantasy dictionary, and an agreement amongst everyone who has played any fantasy ever, a wizard who has been conusmed or dips into the darkness of magic, including but not limited to, mind control, modification of souls [like Oryx] and other very dark experiments and acts.
Now Hunters, what could possibly be bad about a Hunter? I believe I heard once that in some kind of culture related to that of Destiny, Hunters are murderers and enders of life, for sport, lust, or otherwise.
This has been my first post amongst the Ashen Conflux. I hope this to be just one of many more.

Isn't this in reference to the Black Garden and the Vex being the gardeners? I'd be more interested in the words and phrases the flowers supposedly spelt but wasn't recorded.

Read the books of sorrow Besides, if the darkness wants to help us, I will go with them, our race above others

Very good post, i like the theory. However I don't quite agree with your conclusions. There is just far too much evidence in the rest of the grimoire that we are siding with the light. Also, bear in mind that this account was a vision and must be interpreted as such. Still, good stuff. Keep up the good work!
