===As Understood by the Disciples of the Witness===
===As Understood by the Disciples of the Witness===
The Witness never revealed the full extent and nature of its vision of the Final Shape to its [[Disciples of the Witness|Disciples]], and as a result each Disciple appears to have developed their own conception of what the Final Shape entailed. According to an unnamed and long-dead potential Disciple whose thoughts are recorded in the ''Inspiral'' Lore book entry "The Cave," [[Nezarec, Final God of Pain|Nezarec]] believed the Final Shape to involve becoming one with all of existence, whereas [[Rhulk, Disciple of the Witness|Rhulk]] believed it to be a universe free of disparity and differentiation, and [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen|Savathûn]] and her Hive believed it to be a universe in which the Sword Logic was triumphant. An unnamed potential Disciple subsequently concluded that none of the Witness' followers could fully grasp the true nature of the Final Shape, and that the Witness was allowing each of its Disciples and other servants to act according to a greater plan that would ultimately realize all of their seemingly disparate visions of the Final Shape.<ref>'''(2023/3/10)''','' [[Destiny 2]]: [[Lightfall]] - [[Lore:Inspiral|Inspiral]]: [[Lore:Inspiral#The Cave|The Cave]]''</ref>

After receiving a vision of the Final Shape from the Witness, Calus concluded that it represented the end of all things, and resolved to be the last being standing as the rest of the universe was consumed.{{Citation needed}}

The Witness itself stated that the Hive had misunderstood its vision of the Final Shape, becoming too fixated on the idea of destroying all "unnecessary" entities in the universe and extrapolating the Final Shape to be a single being or entity which had destroyed all other things in the cosmos. In contrast, the Witness' Final Shape entailed the creation of a simplified, "perfected" version of reality in which all sentient beings would continue to exist, albeit in a frozen, timeless form.{{Citation needed}}

Having extensively studied the Hive and their beliefs, [[Toland, the Shattered]] seems to have come to a similar conclusion as the Hive regarding the nature of the Final Shape. In his writings, Toland describes the universe as being ruled by conquest and domination even at its most fundamental level, and claims that the universe will inevitably come to be ruled by those which have defeated all opposition to their rule, eventually achieving a level of absolute dominance such that nothing can exist except by their consent<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]] - [[Grimoire:Enemies/Darkness|Darkness]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Darkness#Ghost Fragment: Darkness 3|Ghost Fragment: Darkness 3]]''</ref>.
