  • The Witness was once an entire species
  • They discovered the Traveler buried on their home planet.
  • The Traveler uplifted their civilization and basically they got bored and needed purpose.
  • This led them to seek out The Veil. They built the pyramid ships to search for the Veil.
  • The Veil is the Darkness equivalent of the Traveler. Not the pyramid ships.
  • The Witness saw the light as a chaotic force to be tamed and tried to use the darkness/Veil to tame it and create the final shape.
  • Traveler said nope and began running.
  • The Witness’ race mass suicided and used the Darkness to combine their consciousness into what we know as The Witness.
  • All the crumbling statues around the pyramids are the remains of its species.

Some pretty dark stuff with the origins of the Witness. I don’t think it’s quite clear what the final shape is yet.

This season has been huge with the lore drops. First Xivu Arath shows up in the very first mission, and the continues playing a huge role throughout. And now this. Absolutely mesmerizing lore and I can't wait to hear what all the lore scholars talk about in the coming days and weeks! I'm also excited to see what happens next week as it seems like we'll learn how to enter the portal.
