The '''Echoes''' are paracausal artifacts of [[Light]] and [[Darkness]] which emerged from the portal leading into the [[The Pale Heart|Pale Heart]] of the [[The Traveler|Traveler]] following the Witness' defeat by the [[The Coalition|Coalition]]. They were created from the memories of the various civilizations the [[The Witness|Witness]]  and its [[Black Fleet|servants]] conquered during their eons-long crusade to find and subdue the Traveler, preserved in the Darkness and made real through the Light.

==Overview==
Upon the [[The Witness|Witness]]' [[Excision|destruction]] within the [[The Pale Heart|Pale Heart]] of the Traveler, its Darkness diffused into a mist which then coalesced with the [[The Traveler|Traveler]]'s Light, crystallizing into several objects that emerged from the portal leading to the Pale Heart. These "Echoes" scattered across the [[Sol System]], with [[Uldren Sov|Crow]] reporting to [[Zavala]] that one was seen heading towards the area between [[Jupiter]] and [[Neptune]] at relativistic speeds, before stopping in the orbital path of [[Nessus]]. Another landed in the [[Reef]], while a third made its way to the [[Dreadnaught]]. 

The Echo that landed on Nessus came into the possession of the original version of [[Maya Sundaresh]], whose consciousness had survived within the Darkness of the [[The Veil|Veil]] and escaped into the [[Vex Network]]. This Echo contained the memories of the [[Qugu]] warden [[Te'Qal]], and granted the power to compel and control other beings. Maya, styling herself as "the Conductor," used this Echo, called the [[Echo of Command]], to evolve the [[Nessian Schism|Vex]] on Nessus under her command by introducing individuality to their collective.

The Echo that landed in the Reef fell into the hands of [[Fikrul, the Fanatic]], who discovered that it granted him the ability to convert living [[Fallen|Eliksni]] into [[Scorn]].

It is currently unknown who has the Echo that landed on the Dreadnaught.
