exotic cloak
#

Considering a lot of weapons are getting crafteable and almost every new weapon is crafteable is probably just that

#

Bungie don't want some weapons to be crafteable and they are not going back to make crafteable old weapons, not all of them

crystal zinc
#

the one time i have a lore question

exotic cloak
#

We hope you get more

crystal zinc
#

do exos have parents

#

does banshee-44 have a mom and dad

exotic cloak
#

Oh boy

crystal zinc
#

oh wait

#

nvm

#

banshee is clovis bray

#

i forgot

exotic cloak
#

You played Lament mission? Yeah he is

crystal zinc
#

no

#

i dont have beyond light

#

i saw a youtube short talking about it

exotic cloak
#

Oh, nvm he is a copy of Clovis Bray that restarted his mind too many times causing irreversible damage to his memory

#

Is very noticeable in his dialogue

crystal zinc
#

so are wish dragons on our side or are they enemies

jagged badge
#

Wrong reply rip

exotic cloak
#

I think someone can explain that better but going to exos

#

Exos are pretty much artificial humans

jagged badge
exotic cloak
#

Technically the original humans had a mom and a dad but is not like the exo version has a mom and an exo dad

crystal zinc
#

is riven the exception

exotic cloak
jagged badge
#

And Taranis

#

He escaped the Great Hunt too

exotic cloak
#

Ah yeah

crystal zinc
#

so did ahamkaras put the curse on the dreaming city or was that the witness

exotic cloak
#

Riven

crystal zinc
#

interesting

jagged badge
#

It was part of a scheme of Savathûn’s to generate infinite tribute

#

Unfortunately for her, her worm’s hunger outgrew this anyway

crystal zinc
#

man destiny lore sounds cool

#

too bad the format is ass

#

i aint reading 20 million books

ember storm
#

it was Savathun’s scheme that Riven performed because a: Savathun had partial control over the taken and Riven couldn’t exactly refuse, but also b: it would be incredibly horrible to the awoken which Riven was 100% behind

ember storm
#

aside from literal books

crystal zinc
#

how do you even get lore books

#

ive gotten so many

#

i forgot how to get them

ember storm
#

all the lore books pre-beyond light are automatically unlocked for everyone

crystal zinc
#

oh

ember storm
#

seasonal and some event lore books are unlocked as they happen, but I think also unlock after they’re over

#

the rest are just tied to triumphs related to specific destinations, quests, or stuff like that

crystal zinc
#

do i read the lore books left to right or up down

exotic cloak
ember storm
crystal zinc
#

ok

ember storm
#

and to be clear, a lot of them are just basically inconsequential

#

you definitely don’t need to read literally everything

#

even the ones that are important usually only tie into one thing that you don’t entirely need explained

exotic cloak
#

Indeed

#

Same with items stories

ember storm
#

as much as people like to complain, the main storyline is shown through the campaign missions

crystal zinc
#

omg there are so many books

ember storm
#

the exception is Lightfall

#

we don’t like that one

crystal zinc
#

i aint reading allat

exotic cloak
#

But lore books will give you a new perspective in some characters

#

Cayde-6 is like 1000 cooler with books

#

Ishtar Collective has the books organised so you can just read books related to some character or theme

#

They also have a timeline

ember storm
exotic cloak
#

As far as I understand there's a book explaining it but Elsie mentions it so many times

trim grotto
# exotic cloak Damn

While true, that wasn't phrased very well
A cultural misunderstanding with a language barrier lead to a very regrettable outcome

dim minnow
# exotic cloak Damn

to provide further context to what Mael said, the baroness placed her pistol on the ground beside Cayde after they fought off a group of Hive together

#

in a lore entry that came out much later, it is explained that two parties placing their weapons down next to each other in a specific orientation was a way to enact a truce

#

the Eliksni refer to this act as an "ireliis bow"

#

of course, Cayde was not very familiar enough with Eliksni culture to understand the gesture, so he assumed that she was giving him her pistol

#

and to the baroness, Cayde reaching towards the pistol was basically him turning down the offer of truce

crystal zinc
#

how high can ikora blink

trim grotto
#

Probably quite. We don't exactly have a measuring tape, but she did blink between Threshers during the Red War.

crystal zinc
#

why cant we blink like her

#

does she have other special powers that we cant do?

#

does zavala have stronger powers

trim grotto
crystal zinc
#

how did she become so powerful

jagged badge
#

Eating her greens

trim grotto
#

Meditation, practice, experience, training, natural affinity, drinking lots of milk, eating her veggies, and by being an absolutely terrifying Crucible combatant.

crystal zinc
#

why cant we do dat

#

i eat my greens

#

and i drink lots of milk

#

i like milk

trim grotto
#

Have you beaten Lord Shaxx in the Crucible or had a 20 match win streak

crystal zinc
#

lord shaxx hasnt offered me a duel

trim grotto
#

She's also hundreds of years old, too

#

So there's that

crystal zinc
#

aw shucks

#

what about zvalalwala

trim grotto
#

He is also hundreds of years old but his power doesn't seem to be particularly exceptional
Certainly very capable and in mastery of his power, just not Ikora or Osiris level.

crystal zinc
#

hes knees must hurt

#

does the travellor have a gender

#

do they eat?

trim grotto
#

Technically not explicitly but is often referred to, and has represented itself, as female

#

And... does the Traveler eat? No.

crystal zinc
#

if the traveler is a she that means there must be a he traveler

#

and multiple travelors

trim grotto
#

None of that means any of what you said

jagged badge
#

We can’t just impose a binary on an unknowable entity like the Traveler

crystal zinc
#

well how would the travelor be born

jagged badge
#

Who says the Traveler needed to be born

crystal zinc
#

well if they are alive then they have to have a birth

jagged badge
#

According to Unveiling it’s a whole ass creation myth style god

crystal zinc
#

oh

#

its a god

jagged badge
#

It might be

#

We don’t know

trim grotto
crystal zinc
#

this is too sciency for me

jagged badge
#

Point is, we can’t expect it to behave like a bog standard animal or something

crystal zinc
#

im gonna go back to throwing pocket nova bombs

#

thats much simpler

trim grotto
#

Also, I did say it didn't have an explicit gender. Just that it was often referred to as feminine.

crystal zinc
#

oh

trim grotto
#

Even ships are referred to as such

dim minnow
#

It feels like lead and neutronium and electroweak matter fashioned into a moon-sized ball that you must carry as you move.

#

which also seems to imply that the Traveler is not the ball

dim minnow
#

you know, I wonder when Unveiling was written

#

because I'm still thinking that it could hold some truth to the origins of the Traveler and Vex

#

given what Eido said about the Winnower not aligning with the Witness, maybe Unveiling originated before the Witness' creation

#

since the Witness' species remade themselves in a way where they left everything behind

#

which is why the Witness is considered a shadow of its former self, acting in a way contradictory to the beliefs that inspired its own crusade in the first place

shadow crypt
#

is the darkness the Winnower?

dim minnow
dim minnow
#

as established in Lightfall, the Light is the physical domain hence why the Traveler, a powerful entity capable of shaping things down to the molecular level, is aligned with the Light

#

meanwhile the Darkness is the conscious domain, pertaining to the mind

trim grotto
dim minnow
#

the Dark counterpart to the Traveler is the Veil, therefore, we can conclude that the Veil is a shaper of the mind

#

come to think of it, Entelechy describes the Witness as being able to shape things both physically and mentally

#

so perhaps the Witness has attained the powers of both the Traveler and Veil

# crystal zinc why cant we do dat

Yer 10 years old as of now as a Guardian; it’s a damn miracle you came out the gate and within like a handful of years, mastered all three Light element subclasses, when such a feat is fairly rare among Guardians in general.

tbh taken thrall being able to split themselves with seemingly no downside is like unironically one of the most stupid op powers you could have

blazing wasp

Can't nade anymore and restricted to 1 gun type, which is the less deadly one

#

Thrall however

frigid sparrow
#

but like, in general, splitting yourself with no downside is just an absurdly broken power

They can teleport

teleportation is a pretty cool power I guess

# vital lodge well is society a them or an it

It's a whole new thing, which is why in-game "It" is the commonly used pronoun to refer to it; it is not the civilization or the individual conciousnesses which merged to bring about its being, it is It, Itself, and It alone

Anyways we should move on

I call it Megamind

vital lodge

From a memory implanted in Sagira’s shell, yes

vital lodge

so savathun was how we found out about them

#

it that potato

jagged badge
vital lodge
#

well savathun had to have found them if she knew of them

chrome fog
# vital lodge Savathun found the witness right?

To elaborate, the origin of the Hive does not involve them meeting the Witness; however on separate occasions after the Hive have gone on their genocide-path, Savathun was being considered and offered a position as a Disciple, though it had a more close relationship with Oryx having taught him the power of Taking, even referring to him as "My Man"

vital lodge
#

so the hive started cuz of the lil wormz right?

jagged badge
#

She didn’t find it. It found them. It created them

#

The Hive would not exist if not for the Witness

vital lodge
#

sounds less like a witness and more of an assaulter

#

anywho, traveler has some damage on the bottom of it, lets go inside

jagged badge
chrome fog
#

The voiceline of the Witness we hear from Sagira's shell is the truth that Savathun never knew about, even as a Hive God; it reveals that the Witness had slowly been manipulating the Osmium Court's princesses (the soon-to-be Hive God siblings) into taking the deal with the Worm Gods, themselves being strongarmed by Rhulk into following the plan

vital lodge

also, do we have a prediciton of what the traveler is

Uh hello

chrome fog
# vital lodge so the hive started cuz of the lil wormz right?

It was her father, actually; he had found a worm washed up on the shore and made it his familiar, to which it fed him misinformation and generally made him a bad ruler and made everyone want to dethrone him; the same worm then guided the Osmium Princesses to the Worm Gods and into accepting the deal with them that would then lead to the creation of the modern Hive

SO. Hive and their Worms.

Being literally of the same flesh as a Worm God but significantly more diminuative in power and size, Worms are able to process "Death" in as many figurative forms as possible, which includes literal death since what can be more symbolic than the literal thing? They process this death into Ascendent Energy/Power, which they then can consume wholly, or they leave some for their Hive host to hold onto as well. The more Ascendent Power you have, the more stronger you are due to your Paracausal empowerment.

This process also coincides with the species-wide religion of the Sword Logic, in which the Strong cull the Weak, and to kill something is to prove you are more deserving to exist than what has been killed. Kill to assert your right to exist more than the others, feed your worm with the kills you produce, the worm feeds and provides you power to better kill; rinse and repeat.

The only exception to this rule are the Hive Gods: Oryx, the Navigator Savathun, the Queen of Lies/Witch Queen, and Xivu Arath, Hive God of War.

As you may notice, they have some particular titles attached to them, and this is because they have more significant "natures" that they must follow: Oryx to navigate and discover, Savathun to decieve and lie, and Xivu Arath to wage war. In addition to killing, they gain Tithe from following their natures, which feeds their worms as well

did the 3 sisters and Oryx cause the hive population or what

Oryx was one of the three sisters

# chrome fog Oryx was one of the three sisters

The proto-Hive originated from Fundament, a gas giant which had a constant rain of new species coming from its orbiting moon; the proto-Hive were one such species, and had established a civilization with a basis on a similar philosophy to the Sword Logic. The ruling family of the Krill (the new name of the proto-hive thanks to Byf) was the Osmium Court, with the Osmium King as patriarchy and his three daughters - Sathona, Xi Ro, and Aurash. This message (#📚lore-discussion message) continues the origin of the Hive, but to recap: a worm was planted to feed the Osmium King false information, causing strife during his rule and eventually culminating in a revolt from the Helium Drinkers (just a different faction of Krill). He left said worm familiar to his daughter Sathona, and it led her to where the Worm Gods were being held captive deep in the methane oceans of Fundament, where they made a deal with the Worm Gods to perpetuate the cross-species relationship they have now currently.

Additional tidbits, the Traveler was just about to visit Fundament, but the Worm Familiar lied to the sisters about how the Traveler's arrival coinciding with the alignment of the planets in their solar system - a syzygy - would cause a massive tidal wave which would've wiped out their species. This and also being overthrown from their royal positions pressured Sathona to accept the deal with the Worm Gods

In trying to seek out more power because their worms' hunger was starting to outpace their tithing and they hadn't yet established the tithe pyramid scheme, Oryx killed Akka, the worm of secrets and gained audience with the Witness (under the alias "The Deep"); he then proceeded to make the Dreadnaught out of Akka's body

vital lodge
#

tell Akka her insides were annoying as hell to navigate

#

so on another topic

#

Ahamkara cease to exist if they grant their own wish?

torn hazel
#

I stop paying attention to Destiny lore for a couple years and I suddenly don't know anything

ember storm
#

he died

chrome fog
# vital lodge tell Akka her insides were annoying as hell to navigate

Another fun incident is when Savathun tricked Crota into opening a hole in Oryx's throneworld, which then let in a tidalwave of Vex. To prevent this from happening again, Oryx turned his Throneworld inside out and made it the interior of the Dreadnaught, rather than just resting somewhere on the Ascendent Plane. This is a holiday among the Hive, and to celebrate they turn anything and everything inside out. Including living beings.

vital lodge
#

the dialog made it seem like he died for granting his own wish

ember storm
#

the process produces what ahamkara feed on

#

the process takes energy

#

and they get nothing from granting their own wishes

#

so it just killed him

vital lodge
#

so they CAN survive?

ember storm
#

no

vital lodge
#

if strong enough?

ember storm
#

that’s the point

#

it’s not about strength

chrome fog
#

Granting their own wish outright kills them

vital lodge
#

so they have exactly enough energy for 1 wish

ember storm
#

it takes literally all they have to do so

#

of their own

vital lodge
#

so they always have just enough for a single wish, which is returned on use

#

but not on self use

empty fern
#

Wish dragons do have simple “life” CATGRIN

vital lodge
#

do we know of a limit to ahamkara wishes?

ember storm
#

you’re just over complicating it

chrome fog
#

They can grant as many wishes so long as it is not exact to what the wisher wants, as they quite literally feed on the disparity between what is wished for and what reality is

ember storm
#

there’s not a set number

vital lodge
#

I wanna know, I like wish lore

ember storm
#

it’s not like a mana stat

#

they can grant other’s wishes

#

that gives them sustenance

vital lodge
ember storm
#

Granting their own wish doesn’t

vital lodge
#

"I wish you to make me a sandwich"

ember storm
#

they would turn you into a sandwich out of pure spite

vital lodge
#

what if 2 ahamkara wish at each other

ember storm
#

it’s not in their nature to cooperate with each other

vital lodge
#

they mate

ember storm
#

at the end of the day they still are animals

vital lodge
#

and Riven shows they clearly love their mate

ember storm
#

almost no animal irl mates for life

ember storm
vital lodge
#

now what if you wish for the power to grant wishes

ember storm
#

it is the exact opposite of the default

vital lodge
#

yes special

#

so what if her and whatshisface granted each others wishes

torn hazel
#

Aw dragon romance

vital lodge
#

a topic im well versed on

ember storm
vital lodge
#

the wish he made

#

what if he had Riven wish it

chrome fog
# vital lodge I wanna know, I like wish lore

Quite literally, Ahamkara purposefully fuck up wishes like a monkey's paw because they feed on the divide of "reality-as-is" and "reality-as-desired", which considering that's how the ahamkara work makes analyzing the worms' ability to generate ascendent power easier as you can just say they feed off of forcing one's "reality-as-desired" into "reality-as-is" as well as denying others' "reality-as-desired"

ember storm
chrome fog
#

They quite literally live off of fucking people's wishes up

vital lodge
#

so Riven is likely gonna fuck us over?

chrome fog
#

She can't, she's done with it all

vital lodge
#

also, "the wish given to the guardian in secrecy" do we know the wish from savathun?

torn hazel
#

I mean she's already dead so what's she gain by fucking it up

chrome fog
#

Ahamkara can't necessarily die in a conventional way, but once they're dead they choose to stay dead unless otherwise

vital lodge
#

post death comedy

torn hazel
#

While she gains her eggs if she does

vital lodge
#

oh thats the other thing

vital lodge

were gonna crush those eggs after right?

We already genocided their race, and then to do it again after saving it

vital lodge

the ahamkara are apparently bad enough to require a genocide of the species

so theres no way we just let em grow

chrome fog

I feel like Eris' Hellmouth adventure was explained already

torn hazel

vital lodge

what if they discover my idea

and grant each others wishes
