Having become one with the Darkness and commanding a paracausal armada of pyramidal ships, the Witness left its world behind and began a crusade to locate the Traveler and link it with the Veil, and in doing so bring about the Final Shape.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GN7QkdWMV18&t=626s</ref> | Having become one with the Darkness and commanding a paracausal armada of pyramidal ships, the Witness left its world behind and began a crusade to locate the Traveler and link it with the Veil, and in doing so bring about the Final Shape.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GN7QkdWMV18&t=626s</ref> | ||

Centuries after the Sword Logic was introduced, only six Worms were left alive on Fundament; having evolved to master the Deep but imprisoned within the gas giant's core by the [[Leviathan (Fundament)|Leviathan]]. The Witness would revisit the system along with its [[Disciple]] [[Rhulk]], the latter tasked with subjugating the imprisoned [[Worm God|Worm]]s into eternal servitude as the former desired their power gained from centuries of killing logic. To that end, Rhulk offer a deal to the mother worm [[Xita]], promising her offspring Worm Gods substance and safety in exchange for her service to him and his master.<ref>'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - [[Armor|Armor lore]]: [[Resonant Fury Suit (Titan)#Resonant Fury Helm|Resonant Fury Helm]]''</ref> | Centuries after the Sword Logic was introduced, only six Worms were left alive on Fundament; having evolved to master the Deep but imprisoned within the gas giant's core by the [[Leviathan (Fundament)|Leviathan]].

===Killing Logic=== | |||
Through its studies with the [[Darkness]], the Witness learned the existence of a metaphysical [[Sword Logic|logic]] that gave paracausal power to any being that asserts their existence through self-proving social Darwinism, most notably through a thanatological understanding of violence and death. Eons ago, it would introduce the concept of killing logic to a progenitor race of [[worms]] on the gas giant of [[Fundament]], offering them the death-fueled means to channel the Deep's forbidden magics and evolve into godhood. The proto-worms that were tempted by the Witness' gift gave way to self-inflicted genocide as they killed each other and took power from their deaths, leaving only [[Ahsa]] to have rejected the logic and fled the carnage on Fundament into space.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/5/23)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Deep]] - [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/siochains-scuba-shell Síocháin's Scuba Shell]''</ref> | |||
