| || || || 2 primordial entities, known respectively as the Gardener and the Winnower, are assigned specific roles, with the Gardener being described as the one who seeds life whilst the Winnower is described as the one who takes life. In the evening, the Gardener and the Winnower would play the Flower game in the garden before time.

| || || || The Winnower describes the rules of the Flower game as the following: a living flower with less than 2 living neighbors is starved and dies; a living flower with 2 or 3 living neighbors can survive into the next generation; a living flower with more than 3 living neighbors is overcrowded and dies; and a dead flower with only 3 living neighbors comes back to life. While the Winnower enjoys this inevitable victory, the Gardener becomes tired of it.

| || || || The Gardener decides to add both it and the Winnower themselves to the rules of the Flower game to delay the [[Final Shape]], a philosophy in which nothing that causes pain and suffering should exist. The Winnower discovers the First Knife, initiating the first conflict between the paracausal forces of [[Light]] and [[Darkness]]. Light is the paracausal force affecting the physical world while Darkness is the paracausal force affecting the mental world. The conflict begins by bringing down the legendary [[Tree of Silver Wings]]. As a result, the universe begins recording time.

| || || || Overtime the civilizations governing body known as the Consensus would be plagued by tension between different parties, each with their own interpretations of the Final Shape. These parties included the [[Solipsist]], who believed that one's self is the only existing "final shape" in this reality and all other realities; the [[Nihilists]] who were described to be "self-flagellating pessimists" believed that the Final Shape would only be brought upon by their own destruction; and the [[Penitent]] who desired to rid the universe of all suffering by any means, and believed that anyone who did not act to do so were complicit in its repetitive cycle.<ref>'''[[Entelechy]]''', ''8-12''</ref>

| || || Discovery of the Veil || Now capable of [[Pyramid|interstellar travel]] as a result of gifts of the light, the species becomes aware of an object of power antipodal to the Light, one linked to the mind and consciousness rather than the physical world. They called this object: [[The Veil|the Veil]]. In studying the Darkness, they discovered that it held the means to guide the universe into a perfected, eternal form, a "Final Shape" that would last to the end of time and beyond. In this, they found purpose. To achieve their goal, the species schemed to bring the Traveler and the Veil together, which would, according to their research, grant them the ability to alter reality itself. They set off in search of their benefactor's counterpart, eventually finding it and returning it to their homeworld. In response, the Traveler flees to avoid this outcome.

===Rise of Rhulk, the First Disciple===

| || || || He reunites with his clan and family, but they push into the Abyss, a chasm that divides the Wildlands the Wanderers inhabit and the city the Regime inhabit. At the bottom of the Abyss, Rhulk makes contact with a mysterious being that would soon be known to him as "his Witness". At the behest of the Witness, Rhulk uses his Glaive to crack open the planet and use the Upended to destroy the Sapphiric Sun and his home planet. He becomes the last Lubraean and the first [[Disciples of the Witness|Disciple of the Witness]]. He renames his Glaive to [[Lubrae's Ruin]]. Rhulk goes on to appoint new Disciples, most notably [[Nezarec, Final God of Pain|Nezarec]], who was worshipped as a god by the [[Psion]]s. <ref> '''Bungie (2022/5/24)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Haunted]]: [[Weapon|Weapon Lore]]: [[Nezarec's Whisper]]'' </ref>

===''[[Season of the Wish]]/[[Into the Light (update)|Into the Light]]''===

| 21 May || Closer to the Heart || Osiris uncovers a plot by the Sol Divisive to replace the Veil with the Black Heart, which was recreated as the Witness's final attempt to keep them out of the Pale Heart. He instructs the Guardian to return to the Black Garden using the passageway provided by Riven and stop the interference preventing Crow from entering the Pale Heart. They would destroy Transfer Gates throughout the Black Garden and destroy the [[Withdrawn Mind]] before returning to the site where they first found the Black Heart. They destroy it by defeating the [[Established Mind]], [[Synchronal Mind]], and [[Inevitable Mind]]. Destroying the Black Heart allows Crow entry into the Pale Heart. He meets Cayde-6 after seeing a mysterious structure in the horizon and duel for a short time. The duel ends when Glint reveals himself to Cayde-6. After helping Crow get up, they both see Light pulsing from the mysterious structure. Osiris reveals that Crow has made it through the portal successfully and the Vanguard plans to accompany them once he is able to replicate the Witness's link to the Veil.

| 4 June || The Final Shape Approaches || With [[The Witness]] within the Pale Heart of [[The Traveler]], it is close to enacting its "Final Shape," a plan to use the [[Light]] in order to calcify the universe into perfect stillness and end all life. With the connection between [[Crow]] and his sister [[Mara Sov]] established, the [[Vanguard]] initiates "Operation: Ahamkara" in which [[The Guardian]], [[Zavala]], and [[Ikora Rey]] will enter The Traveler through the portal. The three board their jumpships and fly into the portal to the Pale Heart.  

| || [[Transmigration]] || The Guardian's ship crash-lands in the Threshold between the Pale Heart and the outside world, losing contact with the Vanguard but maintaining communication with Mara Sov. They push forwards, fighting off [[Taken]] and discovering [[The Dread]], specifically [[Weaver]]s which are [[Psion]]s that have had their DNA warped and mixed in with [[Darkness]] by The Witness in order to wield [[Strand]]. Pushing on, the Guardian also encounters Taken with a new kind of paracausal shielding made from both Light and Darkness that is impenetrable by their firearms. They escape the fight as Mara's connection with Crow begins to weaken, Mara assuring The Guardian that [[The Coalition]] will make their way into the Pale Heart as soon as possible. The Witness finally discovers The Guardian and severs the connection but not before The Guardian is pulled into the Pale Heart and falls unconscious. While unconscious, The Guardian has a vision of The Traveler being corrupted and destroyed by The Witness. The Guardian awakens in a strange white void within The Traveler as droplets begin to drip from the sky, forming platforms of Light that lead The Guardian towards a black cyst in the distance. Entering the cyst, The Guardian is transported into the Pale Heart, an realm within The Traveler that is an amalgamation of the memories of those within, made real with The Light. The Guardian discovers some Last City architecture and enters "The Lost City," a memory of the [[Tower]] and [[Last City]]. There, they discover another new combatant, the airborne [[Grim]] that can shriek in order to temporarily disable their enemies. The Guardian fights off these enemies and finds a fissure of both Light and Darkness energies. Standing within supercharges The Guardian and allows them to "transcend," boosting their abilities. Using this, they punch through the previously impenetrable shields and break through enemy forces. Soon after, they discover another, larger fissure and stand within. Their Darkness and Light abilities merge to become something greater, unlocking the [[Prismatic]] powers. They discover a Vanguard signal beacon up ahead and are ambushed by The Witness's forces. Using their new abilities, they fight them off, including a [[Subjugator]]. After the fight, The Guardian hears the sound of The Traveler screaming and turns to discuss what to do with their [[Ghost]]. As they talk, they hear harmonica music to the side and approach, discovering the resurrected [[Cayde-6]].

Mithrax and The Guardian hunt down Mithrax's [[Inaaks|mother]]'s killer, [[Korha The Hollow]] who has taken control of parts of the [[House of Salvation]]. Korha is hunted down to [[Europa]] where it is discovered that his mind was consumed by Darkness and is subsequently crushed to death by a [[House of Light]] [[Brig]]. The Guardian then turns to the Shadow Legion who are beginning Light harvesting operations within the Pale Heart. Alongside Caiatl's forces, the light-harvesting machines are destroyed. The team eventually happens on Zavala's home again and Caiatl reinvigorates Zavala's confidence to lead. Additionally, Savathûn and her Lucent brood begin to attack the Lost City but at beaten back. She reappears later and baits The Guardian and Mara into learning how to find fissures of Light within the Taken dimension. Using this knowledge, Ghost makes the Dyadic Prism, a relic of Light and Darkness, and The Guardian returns to the where they confronted the Witness and receive a gift from the Traveler, a sword of light named the [[Ergo Sum]]. Additionally, Crow and Cayde go on a mission with The Guardian in order to investigate a mystery involving Dark Ether. During this, Crow apologies to Cayde, who tells Crow not to worry about it. The trio eventually find where the Dark Ether was going, a cave containing an engorged [[Abomination]]. The trio corner the beast and kill it with a cave in. Afterwards, Cayde passes the Hunter Vanguard mantle to Crow, insisting that he doesn't intend to return to the Tower.

| || [[Excision]]  || With the Final Shape stopped and the Witness on its last legs, The Coalition prepares for their final assault. Zavala gives a speech before the assembled army, including Savathûn and some Lucent Hive, before leading the charge. A fireteam lead by The Guardian are the first to punch through the defenses, encountering an extremely wounded Witness. With assistance from Saint-14, Nimbus, Savathûn, Mixthrax, and Valus Forge, the Guardian exposes the Witness to attack and nearly kills it before it puts up a shield to protect itself. The Guardian channels the Traveler's Light through their Ghost which obliterates the Witness entirely. Ghost dies from the exertion but Cayde-6 appears and pushes his Light into the shell, dying once again but resurrecting Ghost. The Coalition celebrate their victory and preparations are made to repair the Traveler and eliminate rogue Witness forces.

| || The Aurora forms and the [[Echo (object)|Echoes]] launched || After the death of the Witness, an aurora forms around the portal to the Pale Heart and begins to vent Light and Darkness into the void of space. The Coalition begins to enforce a no-fly zone around it. Additionally, an Echo, a paracausal fragment of the Witness's memories, is ejected from the portal.
