{{Hide|title= Season of the Deep Spoilers|According to the creature known as [[Ahsa]], the ancient humanoid civilization that would later become the Witness first discovered the Darkness after they became aware of the Veil, a paracausal entity that was the counterpart to the Traveler. Having become dissatisfied with the Traveler's silence and refusal to impart guidance or wisdom, the civilization sought a greater purpose to bestow meaning on their existence. In studying the Veil, they determined that it was the source of a power that was the opposite of the Light, one tied to the mind and consciousness rather than the physical universe. Furthermore, they determined that by bringing the Veil into close proximity with the Traveler, their Light and Darkness could be used together to reshape reality as they saw fit, enabling them to convert the universe into a perfected, eternal form they called the "Final Shape". | |||
Seeking to bring about this new reality, the civilization traveled to the star system where the Veil was located and brought it back to their homeworld, where the Traveler had remained for eons since its discovery. However, the Traveler responded by leaving the planet and fleeing into the far reaches of space. Unwilling to give up their quest, the civilization used the Darkness to bind their consciousnesses together into a singular, unfathomably powerful entity: the Witness. This being then left its homeworld with a fleet of pyramidal ships, seeking to find the Traveler and unite it with the Veil by force, and in so doing bring about the Final Shape. <ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GN7QkdWMV18&t=626s</ref>}} | |||
