 ===Toland, the Shattered===
-The mad ramblings found in [[Toland]]'s journal are difficult to decipher, but his position on "EVERYTHING", including the Darkness, has to do with the origins of the universe and atoms' victory over "primordial broth", bringing order to the universe. A second conflict between "three Queens" will happen in the future; this is the way things must be, this is why the universe is the way it is. In short, he believes the war with the Darkness is an inevitable and fundamentally intrinsic part of the universe.<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Enemies#Ghost_Fragment:_Darkness_3|Ghost Fragment: Darkness 3]]''</ref>
+[[Toland, the Shattered]] understands the Darkness as the natural evolutionary endpoint of the entire universe. Since the beginning of time, everything has been in competition with everything else for no reason, other than that is the way of the universe: the [[w:Law of the jungle|law of the jungle]]. As atoms came into being, they defeated the "primordial broth" that preceded it. From atoms came stars, from stars came galaxies, worlds were created, and finally life arose, all due to the eternal competition.
+Toland envisions a future where three archetypal "nations" compete with other: the first represents the perfect rule of law, the second represents knowledge made paramount, and the third represents sheer, total conquest. The third nation will succeed, inevitably, and in time will lead to a greater conflict between other nations which all represent the desire to conquer and dominate. The universe thus becomes a place where only the most ruthless entities succeed, to the point where they actively hunt and exterminate other life long before it can ever be a true threat. Finally, at the end of time there will be only one entity that rules the universe so absolutely that nothing will ever exist except by its consent, so it will rule forever. In essence, Toland asserts that this incontestable supremacy is the goal or driving force of the Darkness.
+An alternative way of life, where law and knowledge and might worked together rather than competed, as in the case of [[human]]ity and the [[City]], is little more than "the dream of small minds", and is unlikely to succeed against an entity of pure conquest.<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Enemies#Ghost_Fragment:_Darkness_3|Ghost Fragment: Darkness 3]]''</ref>
