The Traveler is an ancient and immensely powerful machine entity, the source of [[Ghost]]s and the paracausal powers of the [[Guardians]].

The interior workings of the Traveler remain a mystery. The Ghost [[Balthazar]] claimed that Ghosts originate within the Womb, a place inside the Traveler described as a "cosmos inside a bottle" or an "infinite space enclosed within a celestial egg", where trillions of star-like souls orbit each other in a complex weave. Another Ghost named [[Peach]] was dismissive of this description, contending that neither she nor Balthazar can remember the time within the Traveler.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Activision Blizzard - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Ghost_Stories#Difference_of_Opinion|Ghost Stories - Difference of Opinion]]''</ref>[[Fenchurch Everis]] claims to have been inside the Traveler, but no one has been able to confirm the veracity of his story.
