	Message: : I have a tenuous theory that Destiny's overarching plot is actually an : inversion of the story of Pathways into Darkness, on a symbolic (not : literal) level. Apologies: I'm not doing any research or double checking : my facts in this, so let me know if I get something wrong. : Pathways into Darkness: So, in Pathways, we have a slumbering demon god, the : Wrkncacnter, who crashed to Earth and was trapped beneath the ground (I : don't remember: did he crash there accidently? or did the Jjaro trap him : there?) If I remember correctly from Marathon, the Wrkncancter is so : powerful that it alters reality and the monsters in the labyrinth are his : dreams. : Anyway, the Wrk begins to awaken, summoning monsters as well as Sentinels : (monk looking guys) to guard itself. As this happens, U.S. soldiers are : descending into the Pyramid to detonate a bomb and put the Wrk back to : sleep. They know to do this thanks to the instructions of the Jjaro. : Destiny: The Traveller visits our solar system, altering the reality of : entire planets and all of our technology. Then the Traveller is nearly : destroyed and now rests on Earth. It periodically brings Guardians : "back to life", essentially summoning them from nothing, and : gives them some of its own power in order to protect itself. Alien : civilizations, along with a mysterious force called "the : Darkness", are said to be responsible for the fall of human : civilization and the defeat of the Traveller, but were unable to destroy : it completely. Now the Traveller is beginning to regain its power and is : becoming more active as it sends Guardians and Ghosts out into the solar : system. : There's also a lot of clues in Destiny (and grimoire cards) that has led to : some online speculation that the Traveller will actually be revealed to be : a villain later in the story. : The symbolic connections: So, there's some similar words being used. : "Sentinel" is just another word for "Guardian" and : PiD's Sentinels guard the Wrk just as the Guardians defend the Traveller : and Earth. : Then, the narrative of defeat, imprisonment, slumber/near death/dormancy, : followed by rising back to power at the beginning of the game, is very : similar between the Traveller and the Wrk. So is their ability to alter : reality around themselves and summon beings to their defense. : Here's what I'm saying: Destiny is actually the story of Pathways into : Darkness told in reverse and from the other perspective. The Traveller is : the Wrkncacnter and our solar system is the Pyramid. : The players in Destiny are the equivalent of the monsters and/or Sentinels : from PiD. The aliens in Destiny (Fallen, Vex, etc.) which helped defeat : the Traveller, but were only able to put it to sleep and weren't able to : destroy it completely, are essentially the various groups that descend : into the Pyramid (the U.S. marines, the German soldiers) to do the same : thing to the Wrk. Then logically, "the Darkness" which is the : ultimate enemy of the Traveller would be Destiny's equivalent of the : Jjaro. : If Pathways INTO Darkness was about soldiers descending into the Pyramid to : put the Wrk back to sleep, then Destiny, which is about Guardians : ascending through the solar system to awaken the Traveller, could be : called Pathways OUT OF Darkness. Interestingly enough, Bungie's ViDoc : where they unveil Destiny for the first time is called "Pathways Out : Of Darkness".
