— Ghost, seemingly possessed by the Darkness

The Pyramid is the name used by Eris Morn and the Ghost to refer to a seemingly derelict alien vessel located below the surface of the Moon. This vessel appears to be part of the fleet of pyramid-shaped ships that attacked the Sol System during the Collapse, and which is affiliated (or synonymous) with the Darkness.

Overview and Layout

The outside of the Pyramid's hull is covered in segmented panels that vary in pattern, with some having vertical lines and other with patterns resembling circuitry. Much like the Traveler, the surfaces of the Pyramid seem to be composed of some form of rock-like material, occasionally having an uneven or chiseled appearance, giving the ship an almost handcrafted quality.

The Pyramid can be accessed by an opening on one of its upward-facing sides; this opening can produce a tractor beam to bring objects or visitors inside. The interior of the Pyramid appears to have been designed with human-scale inhabitants in mind and contains many hallways, stairways, and various open spaces. Many parts of the architecture feature subtle gold ornamentation or chiseled, seemingly abstract patterns. It is dimly lit, with occasional harsh white or red lighting providing the only illumination. Small container-like objects can be found scattered around the halls.

Among the most notable objects found within the pyramid is a massive sculpture, apparently of a humanoid figure draped in what appears to be a veil or shroud. It is currently unknown what this sculpture represents. However, a nearly identical one appears in the Black Garden, watched over by the Sanctified Mind, Sol Inherent.

History

Shadowkeep

The Pyramid was discovered by Eris Morn following the Red War. Upon touching its surface, Eris apparently triggered a seismic disturbance, revealing the Pyramid in its crevasse. The Pyramid subsequently began producing Phantoms and Nightmares, which haunted the surrounding caverns and lunar surface.

After crafting a set of Dreambane Armor with the aid of Eris Morn, the Guardian was able to approach the Pyramid, which produced a tractor beam to draw the Guardian inside. Within the Pyramid, the Guardian faced Nightmares of Ghaul, Fikrul and Crota. The Guardian's Ghost was seemingly possessed by the Darkness during this period, and commented on the weakness and failures of the Light. After slaying the Nightmare of Crota, the Guardian was guided to a statue with an unknown artifact placed before it.

-The Guardian was sent to the Moon to find Eris Morn, who was looking for a strange power. Along the way, the Guardian found the Pyramid, including numerous amounts of nightmares, most notably Crota, Son of Oryx, and Dominus Ghaul. The Guardian left the Pyramid to a call from Eris Morn.

-The Guardian returned for a second trip to the Pyramid, along the way finding Hive and nightmares of past enemies. After the Guardian chased a figure and successfully infiltrated the Pyramid, they found a figure of the Darkness, with the same appearance as the Guardian, claiming itself as their “salvation”. The Guardian returned back from the Pyramid to Eris Morn, who argued that the Darkness was not their salvation. She took a relic the Guardian found in the Pyramid and continued to research it, telling the Guardian to be wary of the Moon.
