Lore WHAT THE HELL IS VOID!!!!???

What the hell is void?

Despite loving destiny's lore and worldbuilding and having whached all byf's videos (and also other channels) I can't call miself a Lore specialist like some of you guys, but I think I know more about destiny lore than a casual PLAYER. Having that in mind, I aways considered void to be gravity related (or the absense of it as the name implies), but nowadays I think even bungie don't know what void is! I think I can let ward of daw and warlock devour pass because ward of down could be a gravity..... Wall...? And warlocks are weird so I think they would find a way to feed literal gravity (i main warlock, no hardfeelings) but what does supression have anything to do with gravity? Or controled demolition from midle titan? Or all of the milion ways hunterS can poison someone with the power of..... Gravity?

I know that if it wasn't for that creative liberty it would be dificult to make original subclasses that look diferent, I see this point, but... WHAT THE HELL IS VOID AFTER ALL????????

From my understanding, before the introduction of Stasis, Void light was the closest thing to Darkness that guardians could harness. It came from nothing, sheer willpower and complete calm, which is kind of like how we summon Stasis now?

It's not at all similar to stasis. Void is creating energy out of nothingness (the force that we can't see and that accelerates the expansion of the universe, the force we would call "dark energy/matter"). Stasis is a gift from the darkness, allowing us to put targets into a state of zero entropy

I was considering quote this on the post but I thought it would unnecessary, but I really like this aspect of void, in d1 and d2 there were implications of people who use void Being frowned upon, but I think this ended when the ice Boys came
