During Beyond Light, the Guardian follows the guidance of the Witness and travels to Europa. Here, they acquire the power of Stasis. Alongside empowering the Guardian, the Witness also appears to be working up an army of Fallen, by tempting Eramis and her followers into embracing Stasis so that they can destroy the Traveler. However, Eramis appears to fall short of the Witness' expectations, with her becoming encased in Stasis after failing to defeat the Guardian. | During Beyond Light, the Guardian follows the guidance of the Witness and travels to Europa.

It is revealed that [[Clovis Bray]] had been in contact with the Witness in some form during the Golden Age. After discovery of an artifact on Luna, he was guided to come to Europa by it, disguising his mission as simple corporate research and exploration. Under the influence of what he came to call "Clarity", he had a [[The Glassway|Vex gate]] built using a stolen Vex unit belonging to the Ishtar Collective. Using this gate, he was able to travel to a [[2082 Volantis|blue giant star system]], which the Vex appeared to have under control. Kidnapping more Vex units from this system, he experimented with the radiolarian fluid inside the Vex, exposing it to the [[Clarity Control|statue]] he had discovered on Europa, leading to revolutions in Exo production. | It is revealed that [[Clovis Bray]] had been in contact with the Witness in some form during the Golden Age.

As the object of Calus' nihilistic fascinations, the Witness was contacted again by the exiled former Emperor. Calus felt like the Witness' actions did not meet up to his expectations, and sought an audience with it to receive an explanation. Utilizing the Scorn and the Crown of Sorrow, Calus focused their minds to allow conversation with the Witness. This led to the disappearance of Calus, as he was whisked away during a communion, leaving behind his Loyalists to die at the hands of an Egregore infestation. | |||

Though not making any direct appearances or communications itself, it is apparent that the Witness has declared the capture of Savathûn to be an imperative, transferring ownership of the Taken from the Witch Queen to her sister, Xivu Arath. | Though not making any direct appearances or communications itself, it is apparent that the Witness has declared the capture of Savathûn to be an imperative, transferring ownership of the Taken from the Witch Queen to her sister, Xivu Arath. | ||

Mars would later return under mysterious circumstances, but with regions of its surface having been temporally displaced, displaying what appears to be the Golden Age.

Within the events of the Leviathan's return, it becomes clear that Calus has been selected as a Disciple in all but name. The Witness has encouraged Calus further in understanding the goal of the "final shape", and appears to have directed him to join his consciousness with the Pyramid upon Earth's moon. Though he is stopped from completing this action, it is made clear to all involved that the Witness is seriously returning, taking steps to cement its position in a coming war. | Within the events of the Leviathan's return, it becomes clear that Calus has been selected as a Disciple in all but name.

Following Calus becoming its latest Disciple, the Witness, for reasons unknown, awoken Eramis from her Stasis prison since her failure to command Stasis and the fall of her [[House of Salvation]]. Whispering to the Fallen Kell prior to freeing her, the Witness wanted Eramis to gather relics of darkness that were lost during the Dark Ages. Bitter, enraged and casting aside her original calls for Eliksni unity, Eramis agrees and begins finding the relics by calling out the Old Crews, infamous pirates of legend, to help her in locating the relics as they were the only ones who where to look. | |||
