The inside of the Essence's unblemished state is only seen once, when [[The Witness]] is revealed to the player at the end of [[The Witch Queen Campaign]]. The chamber it stands in during this cutscene would later be identified as [[Macrocosm]]. | |||
When [[The Guardian]] visits the Essence in person, it is fractured and leveled by the influence of the Traveler's terraforming. Its spaces are wide and open in a similar manner to [[The Sunken Pyramid]], but makes heavier use of temple-like architecture. Rather than gravity lifts, long-distance travel within the ship is achieved by kinetic launch pads that physically push the user towards the intended destination. | |||
Scattered throughout the Essence are numerous urn-like containers, each containing [[Lore:Inspiral|a different form of data storage from a civilization the Witness or its agents had visited in the past]]. When recovered by the Guardian, each fragment was found to contain numerous references and retrospectives on the [[Final Shape]], the Witness's beliefs, and the use of the Darkness as a force in history — [[Ecumene|including]] [[Qugu|some]] that had previously been excised from all other historical records encountered thus far. | |||

*Throughout most encounters of the Root of Nightmares raid, a massive tree that is likely a [[Tree of Silver Wings]] can be seen in the distance, growing at different stages. The tree has similar features to that of the Tree of Silver Wings that was seen on [[Io]] prior to its capture by the Black Fleet. | *Throughout most encounters of the Root of Nightmares raid, a massive tree that is likely a [[Tree of Silver Wings]] can be seen in the distance, growing at different stages.
