The Darkness[1] is the powerful,[2] ancient enemy of the Traveler,[1] tracking it through the cosmos.[3] Once, the Darkness ruled the universe, and the Hive believe that the Light must be consumed for it to reclaim its domination.[4]
Centuries ago, the Darkness swept through the Solar System, devastating human civilization in an event called the Collapse. Only due to the Traveler's intervention did humanity survive.[1] Seven centuries later,[5] the Darkness was set to return.[6] The Fallen, Vex, Hive, and Cabal are linked to this force.[7] Hive Wizards call upon the Darkness for their powers.[8]
The exact nature of the Darkness is unknown, but the Grimoire suggests that humans saw warning signs of it coming during the Golden Age.[9]
Trivia
The Darkness bears resemblance to the Armies of the Dark and its leader in Bungie's Myth series—a resurgent dark force that is the antithesis to the (forces of) Light.
