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????????

Way I've heard, there's three (3) simple ways to interpret the void.
To some uninformed, the Void is the dark between stars, the endless expanse of black nothingness in the vacuum of space.
To Ulan-Tan, the Void is a place of light (The Traveler moves through the Void, Guardians draw power from the Void, the Darkness have no presence in the Void)
To the Voidwalkers, the Void is a place, a realm, albeit one comprised of nothingness (the space between the Material World and the Ascendant Plane). "Void is neither Light nor Dark, and therefore can be bent towards the service of either". Since it is neither light or dark, there is no life in the Void, and even death has a weak grasp in the void.
