Maybe the tree in the Iron Banner emblems and designs is Yggdrasil, The Tree of Life in Norse Mytho, and what is everything from Lord Saladin created with? "Forged in the Fire by the Lords of Iron." Maybe the Sun could be the symbol of life and the ultimate passage to the Light. Perhaps the Nine are the opposite of the Lords of Iron.
For example, not practical game usage: The Iron Lords are the purifiers of Darkness, similar to The Space Marines (Warhammer 40K) or even the Brotherhood of Steel for those needing further clarification on the purifying status of some teams, while the Nine are like the Black Market opposite. The Nine might be unjust, since they released Skolas and gave that dude Kelloggs on his way out, but have a better motive in the end by sending a messenger, with trading goods to pose a valuable ally to ambassador as the Nine.
We may never know, or perhaps, its too late and the next DLC, The Nine are gonna release a space Cthulu on us. <-Metaphor
Also, can anyone clarify before I go making an idiot of myself, do any of the characters in the Tower mention Xur or the Nine? Like if you're standing near them and they jabber on, do they say a single thing about The Nine?

That would actually make sense. problem is the fact that the original 9 iron wolves are dead. Maybe it will be about finding new champions to take up their light and push even further into the darkness. [spoiler]Also never thought about the ironwood tree being the tree of life. I might take a look at some old Norse representations of the tree.[/spoiler]

Whenever there's a mystery in gaming you can almost always find your answer in mythology.

I think the speaker mentions the nine.
-
Yes. We get, from him, "If only the Nine would help." Also, from the Postmaster, "Package for Xûr... What is Xûr?" Think that's it.
-
Alright, then the Speaker might have some connection with them "spiritually" maybe talk through the void if the Speaker is ever confirmed as Warlock. Although he is mysterious, only time will tell if he really has a connection to them.
-
Do you think it's possible that the Speaker isn't even a Guardian? He kind of reminds me of a Pope, in that, he comes in and claims he can speak with/commune with our God (the Traveller) and everyone just accepts it because, after all, no one has ever heard the Traveller speak, anyway.
-
That was the talk of the town for a while, like the Speaker was just a fanatic leading us in his own way. But that died somehow, I'd like to see the whole foundation of the Tower dissolve, similar to how the Cataclysm expansion from World of Warcraft was breaking the ground around us, and in Mists of Pandaria, Grommash Hellscream (Horde Chief) betrays the whole world basically. So I'm holding a feeling that either the Speaker turns us onto our heads, or The Nine decide to "expose" the Traveler, or we get split apart and create factions that either are with the Traveler, or against it.
-
Myself, I'm not very fond of the idea of the Traveller being the villain. Though I agree it'd be interesting to see the Nine expose the Speaker, as even Osiris didn't trust him, either. I think the Traveller truly is either dead or near dead, waiting for the Guardians to vanquish its enemies so that it can heal again. I think the Speaker is merely exploiting a bad time for the Traveller.
