The Witness seeks to bring about the Final Shape, but the exact nature of this goal remains unclear even to its [[Disciples of the Witness|Disciples]]. Each Disciple seems to have developed their own conception of what the Final Shape entails, and is seemingly permitted by the Witness to act accordingly. According to an unnamed and long-dead Disciple whose thoughts are recorded in the Inspiral lore book entry "The Cave," [[Nezarec, Final God of Pain|Nezarec]] believed the Final Shape to involve becoming one with all of existence, whereas [[Rhulk, Disciple of the Witness|Rhulk]] believed it to be a universe free of disparity and differentiation, and [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen|Savathûn]] and her Hive believed it to be a universe in which the Sword Logic was triumphant. This unnamed Disciple subsequently concluded that none of the Witness' followers could fully grasp the true nature of the Final Shape, and that the Witness was allowing each of its Disciples and other servants to act according to a greater plan that would ultimately realize all of their seemingly disparate visions of the Final Shape.<ref>'''(2023/3/10)''',''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Lightfall]], [[Lore:Inspiral|Inspiral]]''</ref> | The Witness seeks to bring about the Final Shape, but the exact nature of this goal remains unclear even to its [[Disciples of the Witness|Disciples]].

It would later be revealed that the Final Shape is what will happen when the Witness freezes and calcifies reality into one perfect moment forever, where all are calcified into a marbleized reality, much akin to the frozen forms glimpsed within the [[Pyramid]]s. | It would later be revealed that the Final Shape is what will happen when the Witness freezes and calcifies reality into one perfect moment forever, where all are calcified into a marbleized reality, much akin to the frozen forms glimpsed within the [[Pyramid]]s. An end to anguish and bliss, to the cycle of action and reaction, the chaos of life untangled and given a static "purpose". With the Darkness projecting possibilities from thought and memory, and the Light to give them form and make the imagined structures real, the Witness plans to reshape reality into a "perfect stillness" that never changes and never dies, where all lives are immortalised in the universe at the time of their greatest triumph or most profound regret. To carve the universe into something that cannot be destroyed, and thus will surpass infinity and triumph over entropy. The Witness will not be part of the Final Shape itself, but will instead become the god that chooses what each person's eternity would be that they are imprisoned in; to transform the universe into a fixed state based on what the Witness believes we deserve, a perfect ending it chooses for us, and where nothing exists without the Witness's consent.<ref>''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Final Shape]]''</ref> | ||
