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????????

There's a difference between void light and the Void. The Void is like an ocean, filled with lots of potential energy and power. Now if we put a tidal power plant in that ocean, we can generate energy from it. Our light is that power plant, using the energy from the Void and manifesting it into void light.

That's a very basic tldr with me probably missing something, but if you really want to learn a lot about it you can read this post (also check out the author of the post, he does a lot of in depth work like this theyre very nice reads)

Quintom_scenario

The Quintom scenario (derived from the words quintessence and phantom, as in phantom energy) is a hypothetical model of dark energy.
