The Valence venting over Earth

The Valence is a massive aurora of Light and Darkness that is venting from the Traveler into space above Earth after the Witness' defeat in the Pale Heart.

Overview

After the defeat of The Witness, an aurora of Light and Darkness began pouring out from The Traveler over Earth, with the Coalition designating a no-fly zone within 100 kilometers in order to ensure no incidents occur. Sometime following the Valence's creation, several Echoes of The Witness' memories and power were launched from the Traveler, with one of them falling under the possession of Maya Sundaresh, another falling under the possession of Fikrul.

Trivia

• The term "valence" generally refers to the potential for something to combine with something else; for example, the electrons which allow atoms of a given element to form chemical bonds are known as "valence electrons". In this context, the term may refer to the Valence's nature as a phenomenon made of combined Light and Darkness.
