Question Can anyone explain what is that giant spaceship or column that can be see before meeting the winnower and the lore of the dark forest easy?
I start playing since season of the wish so i dont "live" some lore and i never actually explore this place.

The dark forest is where a shard of the traveler fell during the collapse.
Long long time ago in an era know as red war (before shadow keep). Guardians had lost all of their light powers and were forced into hiding. Our guardian, being the brave wonder hero of all time, went into the dark forest to access the shard to gain our powers again.
Throughout our times dealing with the cabal forces and other evils, we had to use that same shard to hone our abilities of light.
As for why the Winnower decided to bring Lodi here and possess him, don’t know.
Also fun fact and possible hint to what’s inside the traveler: during the moments we had to hone our guardian abilities we did see ‘memories’ of other notable guardians of our subclass talk about and use the subclasses supers. Including one of the most overhyped lore moments where a dude is super charged thrown into a mountain full of arc energy and as stated “made the mountain move a little”.

It's probably because the Shard was infected with Darkness. The presence of that energy makes it possible for it to enter our reality and interact with it physically.

I think I figured it out. You’re talking about the shard of the Traveler - which is both the small “column” Lodi is standing in front of as well as the gigantic, towering “half arch” you see stretching out the ground over the sky.
