So the traveller weighs slightly more than half of the sun's weight?
Wow

It's a powerhouse, but that just makes the Darkness all the more terrifying if it can do that much damage to such an insane being/machine.

If it weighs that much how is not affecting earths rotation/orbit around the sun? On that matter anyone walking next to it would feel it's affect I would understand if it had some futuristic counter gravity measure but it has been dormant for hundreds of years. I find your theory hard to believe, excluding the fact you used a ruler on your screen as a means of accurate measurement. We don't know enough about the traveller to make this sort of assumption. What if the core is some sort of material we don't even know of yet that exerts a negative mass that could in a sense alter the weight of entire traveler. Plus huge sections are missing torn out to be poisoned by the hive or just lost in the final battle. You can see the scars. You make some huge guesses that I just don't think pan out.

[quote]If it weighs that much how is not affecting earths rotation/orbit around the sun? [/quote] I think the gravity is actually not present in the same dimension as the traveler, that force is being used to channel the light. This is entirely speculation, but it seems to fit the type of space magic swag we are seeing so far. [quote]What if the core is some sort of material we don't even know of yet that exerts a negative mass that could in a sense alter the weight of entire traveler.[/quote] As for the core, I can't even guess about that lol, we have no grimoire and very few visuals as to what lies within the shell/lattice. [quote]excluding the fact you used a ruler on your screen as a means of accurate measurement[/quote] The ruler/screen method is being remedied by a friend of mine, Otis. He's taking some more accurate measurements for me today. But I expect any weight changes will be increases. [quote]Plus huge sections are missing torn out to be poisoned by the hive or just lost in the final battle[/quote] The scars are obviously reducing it's weight, but it's valid as far as the golden age traveler is concerned. Actually, if you could calculate the volume of the missing sections I would greatly appreciate it, I could update the OP with two weights.

If I'm correct the warlock glide ability is based on the fact that light can alter reality (Physics) (To be exact the glide ability changes the effect of gravity on the user) If the traveler can do something similar it won't matter how heavy it is as long as it contains sufficient amount of light. This is probably why some of the citizens of the city are worried because if its light wavers it could crush the city or maybe even alter the orbit of earth if your calculations are correct.
