| {{Quote|I ever tell you about the Hunter Vanguard before me? His name was Andal Brask; he was my mentor.<br>Great shot. TERRIBLE gambler. Still, we had this friendly little wager about what was inside the Traveler.<br>I told him, "There's nothing." So of coarse, Andal says, "Well, then I'm betting on everything."<br>[chuckles] "Everything." Ah, lucky guess.|Cayde-6 to the Guardian}}

| The Pale Heart itself serves as a world crafted by the Traveler's consciousness and those within it. When first entered by the Guardian, it appears as a vast space lit by diffuse white light, with organic-looking structures visible in the distance; a series of platforms with aesthetics similar to the [[Tree of Silver Wings]] manifests to allow the Guardian to walk through the space. As the Guardian continued on, the surroundings gradually transformed into a lush green wilderness dotted with locales and structures mirroring or resembling various places and things seen by the Guardian in the past.

| The origins and full nature of the Pale Heart remain as mysterious as those of the Traveler itself; it presumably has existed within the Traveler since the time of its creation.

| {{Quote|We have seen enough. The children of [[Sol System|Sol]] cry out for salvation. [[The Traveler|You]] promised them life, but deliver only death, as you have for so many before. Enough. Enough death. Enough life. You have no pieces left to place. The game is over.<br>Do not be afraid. Your pale heart holds the key.<br>This time... There is no escape.|The Witness to the Traveler}} | |

| The first known reference to the Pale Heart was when the Witness declared to the Traveler that it would take action following the defeat of Savathûn by The Guardian. Shortly afterward, it used the [[The Veil|Veil]] to form a link with the Traveler and forge a portal between the [[Sol System]] and the Pale Heart.

| Around a year after the Witness entered the Pale Heart, [[Uldren Sov|Crow]] was able to successfully follow it through the portal using a wish granted by the [[Ahamkara]] [[Riven]]. In the process, however, he also wished for [[Cayde-6]]'s return, resulting in the deceased Hunter Vanguard returning to life within the Pale Heart as a construct made of Light. The two Hunters found themselves in a surreal wilderness, surrounded by landscapes that seemed partly to be drawn from their own memories of the world outside the Traveler, and encountered one another shortly after Crow's arrival. Cayde initially reacted with hostility upon recognizing Crow as his murderer, but the two quickly came to an understanding and agreed to work together.

| | |
| At this time, the Witness had created a vast monolith at the center of the landscape within the Pale Heart, from which it sought to use the Traveler's [[Light]] to reshape the universe outside of the Traveler in accordance with its vision of the [[Final Shape]]. Shortly after Crow entered the portal, the Witness began transforming Earth and the Last City, but the Traveler managed to resist its efforts and undo the changes moments after they began.
