What is the story behind the Horse in Destiny 2's official Tweet?

The term "Nine" is not unheard of within the Destiny 2 community. In fact, it carried a lot of weight around the game's launch when the "Trials of Osiris" was known as "Trials of the Nine". It was a 4v4 crucible event that came around the weekend just as it is now. Moreover, it was put on indefinite hold from Forsaken until Season of the Worthy.

Nine also marked themselves through crucible maps, the vaulted reckoner game mode, Xur, and the Prophecy dungeon. Apart from all this, there isn't much which helps unveil the entire mystery of the "Nine".

Unlike Saint-14, the Emissary rewarded flawless players with gear by teleporting them into a celestial room. It was the same room where players could now get Prophecy rewards at the end of the dungeon. However, the one hint of the Horse here comes from an emblem of the Trials.

After reaching flawless, Destiny 2 players were rewarded with the "You are worthy" emblem. It had a dark shader on the bright cyan color, with a black horse icon on the left. Another hint comes from Season 16: Season of the Drifter, where the Rogue Lightbearer witnessed the remnants of the Horse within a celestial dimension.

Players hope that the upcoming Anniversary event will reveal many things regarding the Emissary and Nine. With a scheduled themed dungeon and six-player activity, there ought to be something interesting hidden beneath several NPC dialogs.
