Subject: Arrows of Destiny

The world is not beautiful: And that, in a way, lends it a sort of beauty.

~Kino's Journey

While staring at my desktop trying to remember what i was going to do today, i saw something on one of the new destiny wallpapers, to the right and just above the fist, between two swords, are three arrows with trails behind them. Now knowing that everything on that wall has some meaning i began to ponder what three arrows could mean, then it hit me............. three arrows in between swords, the only thing that could possibly mean is, She was right.






Also, sorry this didn't lead to some crazy out there conspiracy theory, i'm not Hoobla.

Got a tl;dr for that thread? I'm feeling lazy and can't be bothered reading something that doesn't interest me.

What do you mean? Clearly each arrow is pointing to a coordinate that corresponds to a phone number in Sweden. We just have to figure out the number!

There are also Several dots scattered through out the lower section, perhaps they could be converted into a binary code then into numbers to make a latitude/longitude co ordinate.

Also, the are 4 trails, but only 3 arrows coincidence?

Nice catch, OP. I think she's right as well.

"My name is Cortana, of the same steel and temper as Joyeuse and Durendal."

This quote is the focus of my theory for a "formula" for Bungie trilogies. The quote above speaks of three famous swords that had once come together in battle. The three swords seem to correspond with two of the AIs from Marathon (Durandal) and Halo (Cortana). The third sword, Joyeuse, is the mystery AI and holder. If the first two swords can be proven to purposely correspond with the game characters, then perhaps Joyeuse and its holder (Charlemagne) is what the new IP's characters will be like.


If this does hold true, then clues to Destiny could very well have been under our nose (not intentionally by Bungie of course) since Marathon.

Probably better off adding this theory onto Cortana's thread. Get the curious minds in there thinking about this.

You're quite right, but funneling our dedicated conspirators to her thread is just as good.

coincidence?


I think not...is what the most clever person in this thread post.

Part of me wonders if the designer for that wallpaper is laughing right now.

But, another part of me wonders which thread is for which game, and which - Marathon, Halo, or Destiny - would have two trails leading to one arrow, indicating two distinct origins for a single game.

All in all...conspiracy!

Ummmm, I remember Cortana 5's thread, but nothing about arrows in there. Elaborate how the 3 arrows correlate to her thread please.

3 arrows, 3 swords, it's a very loose connection but i wouldn't put it past Bungie to do something like this.

If you see anything, anywhere you have to convert it to binary! (That means you know a lot about computers.) Quick! convert "arrow" "three" "arrows" "three arrows" "sword" "three swords" "point" "points" "pointing" "point to the right" "points to the right" and "pointing to the right" all into binary, put them in chronological ascending order by the number of one's in them and we'll get an IP Address for a Bungie server, which means we can hack into it and get the source code for Destiny. Then, if we save it as a text file and put that text file on our Xbox, we can play Destiny!

My future is certain, I will one day fly away. All because I am saved from the penalty of sin. I know he lives.

To The oP, I don't know what you ment by the arrows, but as I looked closely to the beginning origins of the arrows, i noticed that the topo lines from where they start make me think of a valley between two hills. And the hill on the right looks like a Volcano (Mt. Kilimanjaro).

Bear with me here ok.

I looked at the Google Earth flipped the map upside down and rotated it 7 nothes to the right. That allows the volcano and the other mountain line up and the valley to be in the middle. Then i took a scaled distance from arrows, placed in on the google map and where the arrows end is quite interesting.

Sungate, Africa!!!

Now you might wonder why i think that this is exciting. They said that they would see us amongest the stars. Our Sun is a star, and an opening to another area is known as a gate. So what do you think?

If this idea doesn't take off I might start a thread. But I don't know how to place snap shots from my computer for others to see.

For screenshots, use Grab on a mac (its already on there), and I hear Lightscreen is good for PC. Go nuts!

How active is that thread still? I haven't seen it on the front page in for ever. But I guess that me posting there will bring it back.

Here goes nothing. I am also trying to use the Google Earth sky view to see what constilations or "Stars" are above that location.

This is one of the craziest conspiracy theories I've heard yet.
