Editing Black Fleet

A single [[The Lunar Pyramid|Pyramid]] from the fleet was discovered by the [[Hive]] buried beneath the surface of Earth's Moon for an unknown amount of time, but their efforts were unsuccessful at awakening its power. It remains unknown how long this vessel was buried on the Moon, although [[Eris Morn]] speculates that it may have been struck down by the Traveler during the Collapse, or left behind intentionally. It became active by [[Eris Morn]] upon touching it, creating [[Nightmare]]s from the Darkness to haunt the Traveler's Light-bearing [[Guardians|Risen]].

Multiple Pyramids can be seen in the background when the Guardian receives a vision of the [[Black Garden]] from the [[Unknown Artifact]] found within the Pyramid on Luna.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]] - [[Beyond (mission|Beyond]]''</ref> Later, a Guardian [[Garden of Salvation|excursion]] into the Garden revealed that the [[Sol Divisive]] Vex having been communing with a Pyramid Scale and the [[Consecrated Mind, Sol Inherent|Sol]] [[Sanctified Mind, Sol Inherent|Inherent]] minds were destroyed to stop its spread of Darkness.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]] - [[Garden of Salvation]]''</ref>

After the healing of the Traveler, the Young Wolf would arrive on the frozen wilds of Europa to find a Pyramid much like the one on Luna. However, a new [[Eramis, Kell of Darkness|threat]] was also rising on the moon, one in direct contact with the Darkness itself.  

Once the Young Wolf arrives on Europa, they are tasked by [[Variks, the Loyal|Variks]] to fix the communication relays on top of the safehouse he is staying in. However, as the Ghost is fixing the second relay, a dark presence is detected and the Ghost says, "The ones who spoke through me." As soon as the Ghost fixes the final relay, a [[Crux of Darkness]] teleports in and blows away the blizzard surrounding the facility. It then leads the Guardian towards the Pyramid all the while talking about how the Light sees the Guardian as an obedient soldier who asks no questions and how the Darkness wishes to thank them with a gift to help them take control. Upon arriving, The Pyramid sends out a [[Ziggurat]]. After the Guardian has defeated Eramis, she reaches out towards the Pyramid as she is being frozen, as if to signify that she is not worthy of the Darkness's powers. Later on, once the Guardian has finally attuned themselves to the power of [[Stasis]], they are teleported to a veiled statue inside the Pyramid and finally unlock Stasis for full use. It would also be during this time that the Darkness would seek out Savathun to punish her for her attempted interference, forcing the Witch Queen into hiding. [[Mara Sov]] would also reemerge having deployed her forces and fleets against what she referred to as the Black Fleet, however, none of these assets or even the Harbingers would be effective against the Pyramids. Ada-1 would also marshal the assets of the Black Armory against the Pyramids, however even these unique weapons would prove useless against the power of the Darkness.

Mara Sov would eventually divulge that during her absence after the events of Forsaken, she did battle with the entity that directs the Black Fleet as well as the Hive, Taken and Scorn. She described the entity as a voice in the darkness.

After having been shrouded in darkness for some time following the arrival of the Pyramids, [[Mars]] suddenly reappeared. The surface of the planet was largely changed, with large swaths that appeared to be temporally displaced, bordered by curtains of eerie green light. There was also a new structure built into the cliffs overlooking Mars' [[Cradle]], bearing the same architectural hallmarks as the Pyramids.

In the pursuit of uncovering the truth of Savathûn's Throne World, the Young Wolf found themselves once more on Europa, this time at the [[The Communion|base of the Pyramid itself]]. Fighting through hordes of [[Imperial Deserter|Cabal deserters]] under the command of [[Valus Dralgur, the Exiled]], the Young Wolf entered the Europan Pyramid. Within the Pyramid was seemingly a city of structures, grander and more elaborate than what was able to be seen within the Lunar Pyramid. After purging the deserters from the Pyramid, the Guardian communed with the Darkness, gaining the ability of [[Deepsight]]<ref>'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - [[Mission]]: [[The Communion]]''</ref>.

A [[Sunken Pyramid]] was later discovered within [[Savathûn's Throne World]]. A fireteam of Guardians [[Vow of the Disciple|ventured inside]], finding [[Rhulk, Disciple of the Witness]], who had been imprisoned within. Similarly to the Europan Pyramid, the Throne World Pyramid was immense in scale, housing many structures within. After overcoming many trials and obstacles, the fireteam faced Rhulk in combat and defeated him.<ref>'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - [[Vow of the Disciple]]''</ref>

The [[Guardian]]s' explorations of the [[Pyramid]]s, as well as the [[Black Garden]] and the [[Deep Stone Crypt]] on [[Europa]], revealed a motif that appeared to be representative of, or at least associated with, the Darkness: statues of humanoid, veiled figures. All of these statues are identical in shape, have seemingly feminine features, and are posed with faces turned upward and arms slightly outspread. They are primarily used as communicators for the Witness, however on some occasions it has been used by [[Xivu Arath, God of War|its]] [[Audience|servants]]. It was eventually revealed that these statues are representations of members of the Witness' species as they prepared to form the Witness by merging their consciousnesses using the Veil, some of the [[Penitent|dissenting]] minds of the Witness who rejected its philosophy would use these statues to communicate with the Guardians.
