There was a really interesting conversation about an audio grimoire on this weeks podcast:
Guardian Radio Network » Guardian Radio: 121

Listen and if love to hear people's thoughts and speculation about it.
Thanks for pointing this out!

Informed speculation about the lore of the traveler

I saw this post yesterday, but didn't have time to listen. I finally did (and looked up the reddit thread they were talking about).
I have to say, I like the theory quite a bit. The Traveler being a Dyson Sphere is a pretty intriguing idea to me. The imagery of the Traveler over the City is amazing; the Traveler provides our last safe haven. And within it may be the ultimate safe haven.
Also brings to mind the whole Traveler/Fallen issue. Is that why the Traveler is here? To find species it deems worthy to join it and live within? Is there a sort of Forerunner thing going on, where the Traveler is basically the Ark, collecting species to be reseeded once the Darkness has passed (if the Darkness can even be stopped or go away or whatever).
By the way, I've never listened to Guardian Radio before (and didn't listen to the rest of this episode yet), do they usually talk about stuff like that? I may have to go back and start listening to them. I've been toying with the idea of trying to find a good Destiny podcast (C'mon, Bungie, start putting out more of those!); maybe this is the one.

The podcast is typically more news of the week oriented. But almost every episode has an audio grimoire performance where they record an audio version of one of the grimoire cards or perhaps a series of cards. That's nice on its own, but doesn't always lead to an in-depth discussion. I'd say about 50% of the time it leads to a further lore discussion. This one, was exceptional..
Just had just enough textual basis to make me buy into the theory pretty hard. I don't really love the idea of reforming size inside of the traveler but I suppose I could buy it because I want it to be true.
