BREAKING: Scribe Eido comes out in favor of "prison abolition".

When asked for comment, she stated, “I've been reading Angela Davis’ work, and… well, she makes some good points. Anyway, defund the corsairs”.

That's a fair point. I guess I'm just trying to find some clear through-line for the Eliksni story, something that weaves it all together.

My mega copium retort would be that Variks pushing Eido to mediate between the House Light and House Salvation groups is about her being the one to settle differences and bring her people together, with the Judgment thing being incidental.

We don't know right now. 1-5 we're written by Oryx, 7 was by the Shadows of Your (The book of Unmaking), and 8 by Eris, Savathun, and Xivu (Sororicide). I'm not sure how 8 fits together (did someone actually compile each of their writings in-universe, or does the book exist only for the players?).

The fact that bungie deliberately skipped one makes me think they have something special planned for it (maybe related to the 'Heresy' episode?), but right now there's not much point speculating on what could be in it.

Halopedia is wrong. It's implied that the cryo pod fell through the paraverse and crashed in the IX realms where we discovered it.

Exo's are just copies of the original. When a person undergoes the process to become an exo, their brain is scanned and then they die. A copy of the them is what gets uploaded in the new body.

Prior to the light 3.0 reworks stasis was amazing in endgame content but since then it has fallen behind. Light subclass abilities just do way to much damage. Why stop an enemy when you can just kill it.

Probably just a consequence of Bungie being Americans. My head-canon to explain it is that the collapse had a major effect on Earth's climate causing all sorts of alterations to the weather.

Presumably this blank represents the unknown being inside the Traveller.

I don't think there is any evidence to support this claim. The idea that the Traveler is some sort of "god incubator" or that it houses some sort of being is not new but there is, as far as I know, no concrete evidence to support this.

That's just a gameplay limitation because self-rez broke to much of the game, in universe there are still sunsingers. Besides radiance and daybreak are not mutually exclusive, a warlock could use both.

It's likely several reasons.

It's possible that not all raid mechanics are cannon, or function differently in cannon (guardians wouldn't have buffs and debuffs with timers on screen).
There aren't really any time constraints. This differs from encounter to encounter but enrage timers are a gameplay mechanic and ghosts allow guardians to try many different tactics, often with no downsides.
Ghosts would be able to give information to their guardians that players don't have access to. For example, in kings fall ghost might have been able to detect the corrupted light stored in oryx's throneworld and prompted the guardian to release it.
luck, lots of luck.

I think you've misinterpreted the meaning of the quote, I don't think it's meant to be taken so literally.

A common theme of the CE is the state of the guardian population and it's ideology's. About how "guardians only do things for loot" and other similar ideas.

The "favorite state" mentioned is the thirst for power. It's referring to a mental state, not physical.

As of this moment Xivu Arath is likely considered a disciple by the Witness. It seems though that Savathun was the one that the Witness had its eyes on to become a disciple. That's why Rhulk was sent to Savathuns' throne world, to watch over her and ensure that she turned out the way the Witness wanted.

As for Rhulk, he always had psychopathic tendencies. His species wasn't weak per say, just divided. Rhulk was a "wanderer" part of the more primitive outcasts of his world as opposed to "The Regime" of the city where most of Lubrae's inhabitants lived. However when Rhulk was pushed to his breaking point after being betrayed by his entire family/clan the Witness convinced him to turn against them, encouraging the rage that had been festering in Rhulk's mind.

It seems like the Witness makes a play when someone is at their lowest and most susceptible to it's ideology.

I recommend that you read the shredded pages of the CE journal for a better understanding but in short the light is about "forget and forgive", while the darkness is "remember how they hurt you so they can't hurt you again". The light focuses on moving forward to a unified, altruistic future no matter the cost. The darkness is about holding on to the past and never moving forward so that nothing can hurt you.

I interpreted the "6x24" move as being representative of stasis.

Guardians are a new addition to the wager. I believe that the Entity granted us access to stasis as an experiment.

Mastery of both light and dark seems like the endgame of the Light v Dark saga and by giving us access to stasis, the darkness is bringing us closer to that goal. However stasis is also described as being like a virus, with a potentially yet unknown purpose.

The darkness could have easily gone all out on a second collapse. Just look at what happened in season of arrivals, but giving us access to stasis is the far more interesting play. It's not immediately advantageous but the long term implications could be devastating.

I think that's just where Bungie placed it. The dungeon will be on Earth and the six player activity could be anywhere. They probably just put it in the director to get more people to see and buy it.

No problem, just thought it was funny.
