The Cow Thing?

Captain Li offers them tea. Mara cannot imagine the ways in which she is butchering what must be an intricate and meaningful tea ceremony. Li serves some very battered pre-Traveler ceramic sloshing with hot green tea, then immediately adulterates her own cup with milk from the Cow Thing on the biodeck.

That’s the only lore we got on it

So what are those pillars shooting out of the monolith in the pale heart? They seem to have appeared after the raid but before excision

Still waiting on whatever multimedia shit Bungie agreed to be acquired by Sony for
The same shit which they promoted Luke Smith to specifically oversee

#

They also hired an exec from Warner Bros/Discovery (who also previously worked for Crunchyroll), a guy who directed LoL animated shorts, a former Riot exec who worked on Arcane...

I lowk believe the Guardian can solo most characters in fiction, like marvel and dc and shi

small quartz
#

Maybe?

#

They get a big Plus 1 because of Paracausal Energy

stark fjord
#

Can the witness read minds

#

What powers did he get from the deep

slender ether
dim minnow
#

it knew the history of several characters like Zavala and Crow

stark fjord
#

Do u think his powers stem from his species or his connection to the veil

dim minnow
#

it also has access to advanced Deepsight (which is what happened to Mars)

#

Ohhh

#

Okie dokie

#

Cus i know psions and psy powers so I thought

blazing wasp
#

Jojo alone has such bullshit it directly counters our Guardian with at least two of them

stark fjord
#

if saint is a vex copy then how does he have light

#

last time i checked vex cant simulate light

hollow drum
#

i thought he was just from another timeline is he actually a simulation

trim grotto
dim minnow
#

since predetermined fate is a huge theme in JJBA

blazing wasp
#

And GER is a literal direct counter to paracausality

#

Because those are bullshit and only a significant ass pull could ever handle those

little gorge
#

also technically WoU can't fully kill a guardian unless ||the guardian's ghost tries to chase it|| (part 8 spoilers)

small quartz
#

Uh WoU Can't affect guardians

#

I assume

#

Due to their Paracausality

#

Requiem would work against a guardian

empty fern
#

No

love train is purely defensive

#

Yeah

so a guardian cant hit it

Not really lore, but does anyone know exactly or roughly when Destiny was first conceptualized? I know there’s a Destiny awaits poster in ODST back in 2009. But does anyone know if they had plans for the game since maybe 2007 or 2008 possibly?

small quartz
#

Development Began in 2010

#

It USED to be named "Project Tiger"

#

or that was its codename

median steeple
#

I’m more so talking about pre development if that makes any sense

#

Like more of the spitballing phase

small quartz
#

I think in 2009

median steeple
#

Alright

small quartz
#

After their Split from Microsoft in '07 they discussed how they wanted a new IP

median steeple
#

So 07 was the idea of a new ip then

small quartz
#

Yeah

#

"The press release from Bungie states, "It is also the intent of both parties to expand their partnership to include new IP created and owned by Bungie.""

median steeple
#

That’s actually insane to think about

#

Obviously destiny wasn’t a thing in 07 but it’s crazy to think that the idea of a new game that would eventually become Destiny was present nearly 17 years ago

small quartz
#

I think Destiny being even like

#

In Development for 7 Years is kinda great

#

Combining Non Active/Active Development

#

It's awesome to see how it all ended up

median steeple
#

Yea

small quartz
#

me when the video game isnt rushed for an october 2023 fucking release date:

median steeple
#

The main reason I wanted to know is cause I just found out about the !letting go YouTube video

blazing wasp
#

While it is made by someone either a dev or inside information, it is also technically a fan animation

median steeple
#

Yea i get that but considering it so closely represents some things in game currently and also the fact it was made 2 whole years before destiny was officially announced it makes you think there’s more to it

#

The video literally has black armory symbols

#

7 years before black armory would release

#

Also I get the exo from the video is a reused asset from another game but perhaps it was just a placeholder for what Rasputin would be

jagged badge

#

That’s the edited version of the photo

Shocking how someone with insider info can make something with official assets before they’re used properly

Yeah I can probably guess a video from 10 years ago didn’t have a screencap of the witness

Destiny 2's lore is so vast. Very shocking most games don't put anywhere near as much effort in their lore as destiny 2 does.

#

The average player skips cutscenes in most games

#

I was watching a destiny 2 lore video to get knowledge on the game's lore then I watched a bunch of cutscenes on youtube. When I first played I'll admit I didn't know what the heck was going on

Lore peeps

#

Is the Zavala lore on Destiny Wiki canon

trim grotto
#

The Destiny Wiki is even more cursed than Destinypedia but let's hear it

shadow warren
#

I don’t think he looks like that

#

Apparently he’s known as Joe Biden now

trim grotto

Joe Biden, along with Lord Shaxx and Lord Saladin, were all present at the Battle of Twilight Gap, which Joe Biden was treated as a hero of. well whaddaya know

Joe Biden is the current Titan Vanguard of the Tower. He is a leader with a will of iron and works tirelessly to keep the people of the City safe. He was partnered with the Ghost Targe.

did we ever see this happen or get revenge on the Celebrant, or was this one of those things that just "happened" and we don't see or learn about it until later like it's not a big deal

Do we agree that Savathun’s little fight in the Queens mission was just her genuine strength?

# cold onyx Summarize the most important plot points from the dark age and city age

Dark Age: In the wake of the Collapse, humanity had regressed and Ghosts had begun ressurecting people as Risen. Many of these RIsen would become feudal Warlords who fought for territory and often ruled it with an iron fist oppressing the Lightless. Eventually, a group called the Iron Lords rose against them to protect the Lightless. After much fighting, humanity would start to unite and gather under the Traveler in an encampment that would develop into the Last City. The Warlords would also be either killed off or abandoned their status. Important to note that it was during this era where Awoken began arriving on Earth.

#

this is pretty much the basic summary of the Dark Age

#

City Age I feel I could not give a quick rundown of it

#

a lot of relevant stuff happened during the City Age

small quartz
#

Can I eat a ghost

trim grotto
#

It's made of metal and glass.

small quartz
dim minnow
small quartz
#

I didnt understand it

dim minnow
#

the result was a lore book called the Chronicon

#

the future Calus claimed to see was so full of innaccuracies and pure bs that it is comedic

#

and Savathun gave us the pages of this book which I'm certain is the lore reason as to why we no longer associated with him post-Opulence because we saw how crazy that mf was

#

anyways, at some point in the Chronicon, we invite Drifter to dinner where he eats a lot of food including a special pastry we had made for him

#

when he finished eating it, we told him it was his own Ghost before forcing more food down his throat until he suffocated to death

#

that's not even the most stupid thing to happen in the damn book too

#

let's see, Zavala and Hawthorne drinking "beer of roots" and eating "nuggets of chicken" while contemplating their doom

#

us killing Eva Levante because she didn't want to organize Calus' shitty hollidays then Shaxx gladly takes her place

#

us killing Osiris by going to a random Vex Goblin and asking them to divide something by zero or something like that causing the entire Vex Network to collapse allowing us to get to him

#

us killing Toland by using the song of life to restore his body so we can kill him

#

it just gets so bonkers man

like what sort of Ahimsa Park Cloud Accretions was he on?

is he okay???

dim minnow

it can be changed around

like hermit crabs

Ohhhhhhhh

#

So like

#

Why dont we just use our Riven wish to just ask for the witness to combust and die?

ember storm
#

It doesn’t really work like that

#

Ahamkara materialize desire

#

It’s not literal wishing

#

They’re not rewriting existence, they’re just adding small footnotes

#

Plus the witness was connected to the traveler itself

#

It literally couldn’t be killed until Salvation’s Edge happened and even then it was only possible with 12 ghosts funneling the traveler’s light directly into it

#

Did zavala and ikora ever learn that cayde was there cuz of crows wish?

open kite
#

Hi I'm a returning player going through the campaigns I missed to catch up a bit, just completed witch queen and got the "of queens and worms" quest. Ikora said it helps me prepare for the witness or something, is it just another exotic quest or does it have relevant events for the story?

ember storm
#

It’s not specially relevant

#

You learn a bit more about Savathun and her past and get development for Mara

open kite
#

oh ok just wanted to know if it adds anything no matter how small

#

do you happen to know approximately how long it takes?

didn t manage to find that on google either

I mean Destiny lore is pretty broad

#

A full everything video would be three times as long if not more

blazing wasp
#

Oh absolutely more

#

I ain't complaining, quite the opposite

sick yew
#

He only goes over the main sort of story in those 10 hours ye?

#

None of the smaller side stories like Dredgen Yor or whatever

blazing wasp
#

"this lore is so fucking vast you gotta spend almost half a day explaining the main story chronologically"

#

Said lore being fucking fire

#

It's exceptionally rare for anything to also be able to make that claim

#

Let alone support it

jovial nimbus

destiny 2 gets a movie when

trim grotto

what's the lore today, friends

blazing wasp
#

That's the lore of today, because today is Monday

sick yew
#

Years ago I remember people liking the idea of a show that takes place around the great hunt

jovial nimbus
#

aye d2 lore is like crazy huge and vast. its own universe

#

it would be crazy if it gets tons of movies just timeline based

jovial nimbus
sick yew
#

I personally also really liked the idea of turning the lorebook of the K1 Crew on the Moon into a sort of horror show

#

Really good read I definitely recommend

dim minnow
#

Arcane-style Ana Bray show?

#

Live Action Ares One movie perhaps?

trim grotto
#

I like the idea of the Dark Ages because you can create a totally fresh set of characters, no ties.

sick yew
#

I mean tbh they could do that with basically any point in the story

#

Theres so much shit happening in the system no matter when

#

You could always introduce some new guardians and have them in a little self contained story

blazing wasp
#

Like a love murder robots thing but with destiny characters, new and established

sick yew
#

You mean love, death and robots?

dim minnow
#

as in a series that is a collection of separate stories

blazing wasp
blazing wasp
# blazing wasp Ah

I figured if we get a destiny show, it might be difficult to make some stories without potential retcons or have it tie in with the story well

#

But of it's a anthology that might make it easier to go a bit more loose

#

Huh?!? Fr

sick yew
#

So we know that the Pale Heart is constructed out of the memories of those who enter it

#

Do we have any clue what it looked like before we or the Witness went there?

blazing wasp
#

Probably nothing.

sick yew
#

So the Travelers memories dont affect the pale heart?

blazing wasp
#

Probably only ever even gained a physical state due to the witness

blazing wasp
#

Not until the witness came along

sick yew
#

Hm

#

I still hope one of these days theyll explain what exactly the Traveler is physically

#

I know this is just concept art but thats the design of those traveler collectibles from the Pale Hart

#

And it gives us arguably the best look at whats beneath the shell

#

It does seem very much like machienery

blazing wasp
#

Yeah

sick yew
#

Its so weird cause nothing else regarading the Traveler reflects this fact

sick yew
sick yew
empty fern
#

But yea, traveler being mechanical and alien, like an artificial garden pepesus

sick yew
#

Its even more confusing when it turns out that Unveiling wasnt a load of horseshit after all

sick yew
#

what if the Witness had given itself a ghost

#

It had the theoretical power to do so no?

#

Or would they have had to make a ghost for each of the untold number of voices within them

empty fern
#

Would say the ghost would refuse but, immaru?

sick yew
#

I mean could have just made ghosts that dont have the will to choose

empty fern
#

Also would the witness accept the light?

sick yew
#

They actively use it for the final shape so yeah why not

empty fern
#

Oh wait, can the witness make a ghost?

sick yew
#

Thats my question

#

As an extra contingency could they have made a ghost for themselves

empty fern
#

Savathun had to convince a bunch for her brood, I don’t think so

sick yew
#

Yeah but the Witness had power to just do it no?

empty fern
#

Dunno

sick yew
#

Im trying to think why they couldnt

#

Maybe they didnt have enough time

#

Id say a Ghost is a rather complicated thing

#

But then again the Witness had been chilling in the pale heart since Lightfall

#

hm

ember storm
sick yew
#

hm?

ember storm
#

It’s not a dead person that can be resurrected

#

A ghost has to have a corpse it can link to

#

You can’t make any facsimile

sick yew
#

Not like with ultimate power they could have just yk changed the rules lol

ember storm
#

All it did was mix darkness into the heart of the traveler and effectively try to ratatouille it

#

It didn’t have proper control over the light itself

sick yew
#

Well it had enough to start initiating the final shape lo

#

Sure first attempt didnt work

#

Actually

#

Why didnt the first attempt work

#

Did the Traveler resist?

ember storm
#

The traveler was resisting every time that big cry is heard

#

The witness didn’t have control over light, it was literally a tumor in the traveler’s brain

#

I say ā€œRatatouille itā€ in the most literal sense

sick yew
#

Then how could it start carving away and make new structures? In order to create new stuff you need both light and dark no?

#

create/destroy

sick yew
#

Darkness for the idea
Light to manifest

sick yew
ember storm
#

The monolith was just formed out of the pyramid ships that it brought

sick yew
#

Aka the transformed Tree of Silver Wings

ember storm
#

You know at the end of LF

sick yew
#

oh yeah it did that

#

Yeye

#

So it just parked the thing there and changed it into the spire/monolith

ember storm
#

Basically just made a new Lego set

sick yew
#

But the carvings? Splitting the world apart and shit

#

Shouldnt that only be possible with both Light and Darkness

ember storm
#

It had control over the traveler itself, not light as a whole

#

It used the traveler’s power of creation and mixed it with darkness

#

If the witness had total control over the light itself we just wouldn’t have any of our power

#

It would just self destruct our ghosts like the traveler can

sick yew
#

hm

ember storm
#

You know when Rhulk tried to steal a ghost, the traveler possessed and exploded it to tell him to fuck off

#

The traveler can just do that

sick yew
#

Wtf

#

Poor Ghost

#

Didnt know the Traveler was such a dick

ember storm
#

Well I probably should’ve mentioned the part where the ā€œkidnappingā€ was Rhulk plucking it out of the air and taking it apart piece by piece because he wanted to pull a Ghaul

#

The ghost was already going to die

sick yew
#

So all the shit we did in Season of the Risen could have been avoided had the Traveler locked in?

ember storm
#

That’s the point of ghosts

#

The traveler is forgiving to a fault

empty fern
#

Free wall

ember storm
#

It hoped the hive would be getting a new lease on life after the witness and worm gods stole it away from them

#

And it’s sort of worked out, tbh

#

Luzaku is proof that there can be defectors

sick yew
#

Im more on about all the Guardians that got killed and got their light sucked out and stored in batteries for whatever deranged shit they wanted to pull

ember storm
#

Years of killing hive Lightbearers doesn’t really mean anything, the same thing happened with Warlords

ember storm
#

Traveler can’t do anything about that

sick yew
#

Blow up the Ghosts of those Lucent hive

ember storm
#

See my above point

sick yew
#

Luzaku showed mercy tho

#

Thats kinda different than the shit the others pulled

sick yew
ember storm
#

Again that’s literally my point

#

If the traveler said ā€œwell this was a dead end all of you dieā€ guardians literally just wouldn’t exist

sick yew
#

Then what makes the Traveler say its okay to pull shit if you are one of my chosen but Rhulk? Nah man thats where I draw the line

empty fern
#

Ghost stories and that one ghost leaving

ember storm
#

The Traveler mercy killed to prevent him from scrapping it for parts.

sick yew
#

Guardians also did that
Again why is a lightbearer permitted to do evil shit but others not

empty fern
#

Game

sick yew
#

I mean in lore lol

empty fern
#

Felwinter right? (If guardian is used vague)

ember storm
#

To reiterate, Rhulk was literally trying to pull a Ghaul

#

He was never chosen

#

He was actively killing a ghost to steal the light

#

Before the ghost was taken apart to be studied, the Traveler detonated the shell to leave no remains

#

It told Rhulk directly ā€œthis is not for youā€

sick yew
#

There have also been guardians who meddled with their ghosts no? Drifter for example or that other guy who was like old d1 lore, Spider probably also tried his luck a few times

ember storm
#

Rhulk had no capacity to be chosen

empty fern
#

Rhulk pullled an early savathun CATGRIN

ember storm
#

He was not being given the light

ember storm
#

He was literally taking it apart piece by piece

#

He was killing it

#

He wanted to take the light directly out of it for himself

#

He says the exact phrase ā€œI have worth beyond worthā€

sick yew
#

So traveler gets mad if you try to get the light when you aint chosen by it

ember storm
#

ā€œYou do see meā€ second before being ripped apart by rays of light

sick yew
#

Not really no?

ember storm
sick yew

Just like with his Ghost yeah

cloud gust
#

At least one of them got blown to pieces by a Fanatic

sick yew
#

Yes

ember storm

Well his ghost was incapable of talking

#

It just stared

#

He had no idea if it even functioned as a ghost anymore

sick yew

But he couldnt bring himself to mercy kill it

He was too scared to try self destructing in an attempt to fix his condition, and also too afraid to put the ghost out of its misery

sick yew
#

Yeah he wasnt sure what he'd come back as

#

Mf could have become the first Vex lightbearer for all we know

cloud gust
#

And this began his deep hatred for the Vex

sick yew
#

nah he was always interested in them

#

He just hated uuuh

#

the mind that was chilling inside the pyramideon

cloud gust
#

Brakion

#

I think

#

It’s also the boss in Avalon

#

Yeah Brakion

sick yew
#

Yes that guy

#

But yeah Ashers interest in the Vex never faded

#

Bro literally walked his ass into their network at the end of Arrivals

ember storm
#

Well he was moments away from dying/converting into a vex frame

#

It was actively turning his lungs to metal

sick yew
#

Was that mentioned really?

ember storm
#

He just bit the bullet and managed to integrate into the network, at least for a while

ember storm
#

It says it specifically in the lore tab

sick yew
#

I assume it was in the Arrivals lroebook?

#

hm

#

Oh well

ember storm
#

at the very least he was coughing up blood with no actual injuries

empty fern
#

Mice racks later confirms Ashir can no longer be heard in the network boohoo

ember storm
#

his last words were literally calling us dumb children

#

Gotta respect the hustle

cloud gust
#

Good ol Asher

sick yew
#

Was there ever a bigger hater

ember storm
#

Rasputin or oryx maybe

sick yew
#

Who did Rasputin hate?

#

Besides Clovis ig but thats a pretty common theme in Sol

jagged badge
#

/the Traveler

sick yew
#

Iron Lords fair
Traveler not so much towards the end

#

Bro came around

#

And tbf the Traveler did steal his son

#

Id be pretty mad too

ember storm
#

then also killed said son

sick yew
#

Thousand? Oh right there were like a shit ton of Iron Lords

#

I always forget cause we only ever hear of like 5

ember storm
#

Every single iron lord aside from Saladin and efrideet was killed by Rasputin

sick yew
#

Yeah idk to me Iron Lords were like a small gang of fellas

sick yew
#

Taniks was a pretty big hater

#

Bro hated the concept of death so much he just said nah every time

ember storm
#

He wasn’t really a hater he was just pissed all the time

#

He kept being brought back and then killed like five minutes later

sick yew
ember storm
#

Fikrul had actual motivation and was driven

sick yew
#

Mf was so pissed he jumped out of the coffin and started punching shit

ember storm
#

Taniks just went ā€œoh not these fucks againā€ and then activated nuclear descent

sick yew
#

Well that was Clovis but I get your point

#

Clovis Ai*

ember storm
#

Taniks was at the controls

#

He was chasing us down during the escape

sick yew
#

Well yeah but it was the Ai that triggered the descent

#

Bro straight up said it to us

ember storm
#

I just wish it was more audible

#

Can barely hear his ā€œclever little ratsā€ speech

cloud gust
#

I’m sure Taniks was just fucking around with the terminal in Rapture enough that the AI got pissed and decided to destroy the moon

ember storm
#

And Deep Stone Lullaby always gets interrupted by my teammates dying

sick yew
cloud gust
#

I was about to say lol
Turn down the sound effects

sick yew
#

Idk why he waited so long since the Fallen had already swarmed the station at that point

cloud gust
#

So he could start yapping about Clarity

sick yew
#

Waits till we step foot on the station till he goes "oh noooo my space ship is compromised!!!!11!! better nuke the entire fucking planet"

#

actually wait

#

Nvm im stupid

#

The Ai activated when we fucked up the Security system

cloud gust
#

Decides to nuke the station
Gets mad when it gets destroyed

sick yew
ember storm
#

The station was armed with nuclear warheads and meant to destroy the entirety of Europa when it crashed

#

It was by design

cloud gust
#

I think the Fallen modified it so that it’d kill is

sick yew
#

No

ember storm
#

It was Clovis’ own protocol

cloud gust
#

No I mean the Security System

ember storm
#

It was literally called Nuclear Descent Protocol

sick yew
#

Clovis had always planted those nukes so he could emergency destroy Europa cause aint no way anyone gets their hands on HIS research but him

ember storm
#

The security system is already designed to kill you

#

And the failsafe is destroying the entirety of Europa

sick yew
#

Yeah thats the sort of shit Clovis would pull

#

Dude didnt give a fuck about human life besides his own

ember storm
#

Remember that standard procedure for basic employed guards is to shoot on sight

#

Even when the intruder is very clearly a child

#

the only reason Micah didn’t die was Cayde fumbling with his gun

sick yew
#

In the name of progressā„¢ļø

#

Something something fountain of youth something something Clarity yap yap yap fire the missile now

cloud gust
#

ā€œBefore the events of the War of Salvation, House of Salvation would uncover and occupy the Crypt, securing and repurposing the systems and tech inside, the Crypt Security systems includedā€

This may just be an assumption

sick yew
#

Wait wait wait

ember storm
#

You’re reading Destinypedia which is not accurate

sick yew
#

I was gonna say

ember storm
#

Crypt security is actually just designed to kill you

#

Clovis activates the moment it’s disabled

sick yew
#

Also pretty sure pre DSC no one neither the fallen nor us had set foot in the actual crypt

#

Its still unclear whether anyone went in there post DSC

cloud gust
ember storm
#

We basically went into the lobby but then left for the morning star space station

sick yew
#

What I thought the whole point is that the Crypt isnt anywhere we actually set foot in

ember storm
#

No that’s just a meme

#

We spend majority of the raid outside of the crypt

sick yew
ember storm
#

The only parts actually inside are walking past clarity and the bottom floor of Atraks

#

Security encounter is getting past the very complicated door

#

The actual DSC honestly isn’t incredibly important beyond an absolute abundance of advanced exo tech

sick yew
#

Ok so Encounter 1 and half of encounter 2 are actually in the crypt ye?

ember storm
#

It’s not like some big citadel

#

The main thing Clovis wanted to keep from everyone was Clarity

#

He was so protective he’d rather destroy the entirety of Europa than let an intruder leave even with the knowledge of it

sick yew
#

To my knowledge the crypt proper was further down and we didn't actually go there or anyone else for that matter

cloud gust
#

I’m sure the only reason they went there was

  1. Atraks to Atraks-1 pipeline
  2. They had the equipment needed to bring back Taniks
ember storm
#

Eramis wanted to put her whole army into exo frames

sick yew
#

Why even

#

Or did the Eliksni crack the code on DER

empty fern
#

More arms and legs CATGRIN

ember storm
#

Atraks was rough but she was the prime example

empty fern
#

It’ll be aksis all over again

sick yew
#

Wouldnt that just cause DER

ember storm
#

It worked and would’ve been really bad

cloud gust
#

Elsie just said ā€œarmy of darknessā€
Nothing else was elaborated upon

ember storm
#

Clarity was also a new prime source of darkness that wasn’t just cruxes shitting out some stasis prisms

sick yew
#

Shouldnt Eliksni Exo have the same kind of issues that human Exo have

ember storm
sick yew
#

Then why would you start converting Eliksni into Exo
Cant modify them for shit

cloud gust
#

Atraks had is so bad that she had to rip her old face off just to cope

empty fern
#

Clarity subclass when CATGRIN

ember storm
#

Atraks has to convince herself that her old corpse is an imposter and ā€œunmasksā€ it by tearing the flesh off her own skull

sick yew
#

Ik ive read that tab

ember storm
#

You can just upgrade exos with more technology

#

That’s literally what Atraks was

cloud gust
sick yew
empty fern
#

Upgrade? Technology?

sick yew
#

More arms or eyes or legs or whatever

ember storm
#

That was just a joke

#

Nessus you’re banned go away

empty fern
sick yew
#

When you think about it being an Exo really aint that great

cloud gust
#

I always thought the plan was go to Clarity and get more Stasis

sick yew
#

That you cant use to its fullest extend cause if you perform any task that goes too far beyond what flesh could do you just go insane and gotta reset your brain

ember storm
#

Eh not really

sick yew
#

Imagine using your sick steel legs to kick in a heavy door and your brain just goes "wait hang on a fucking minute this aint right I shouldnt be able to do this wtf" and then just dies

ember storm
#

It’s not like an automatic ā€œoh I’m made of metal now I dieā€

#

That was mainly an issue with the earliest models

#

There’s some leeway

#

Ada’s mouth literally doesn’t even move

#

She just has a speaker

cloud gust
#

And that’s assuming they don’t go insane and rip their bodies apart

#

iirc that’s what happened to Alton

sick yew
#

If you were to throw an exo to the bottom of the ocean theyre still gonna die cause at some point they realize they dont need to breathe which'll cause DER

ember storm
cloud gust
#

I swear he was?

ember storm
#

He was just shuffled off to the sidelines because Clovis literally did not care about him

sick yew
ember storm
#

Because quote ā€œwomen are easier to controlā€, so he didn’t want Alton around

pastel trench
#

I know a weird lore type of question but can guardians reproduce/ get children?

ember storm
#

They can adopt as seen with Zavala

sick yew
#

Its never been mentined and or explored

cloud gust
#

I thought someone in the bray family went crazy when they became an exo

pastel trench
ember storm
#

The closest we have to confirmation is Saladin’s ghost telling him directly ā€œyou will never have childrenā€

sick yew
sick yew
pastel trench
cloud gust
sick yew
pastel trench
#

Bruh another question

#

The new "enemy speciesā€œ i forgor the name

sick yew
#

Dread?

pastel trench
#

Are just enhanced types of enemies we saw

pastel trench
sick yew
#

Yeah

pastel trench
#

Like psions

empty fern
#

Some

cloud gust
#

Only the Weavers and Attendants

empty fern
#

It does include species we’ve never seen

sick yew
#

Witness did some funky stuff and merged shit around a bunch

pastel trench
#

Werenā€˜t tormentors like nezarec clones

pastel trench
#

Bats

sick yew
cloud gust
#

Subjugators are clones of Rhulk but no tnearly as powerful as him

sick yew
#

Theyre still pretty cool tho

empty fern
#

Forget the living witness stuff, it made some weird statues

sick yew
#

I wonder if there has been any progress regarding their language

empty fern
pastel trench
#

Because my question is. I recall to have read something like that tormentors are clones of nezarec but also that nezarec was something like a clone of rhulk i don’t remember.

cloud gust
#

I had wondered that a few times
Like how we are supposed to translate them

pastel trench
#

What exactly

ember storm
#

Rhulk was only powerful because of Upended shit

sick yew
empty fern
#

Watch it be a hoax and we make the language for them

ember storm
cloud gust
#

I swear one called me a bitch ass motherfucker /srs

#

Like word for word

empty fern
sick yew
ember storm
#

Rhulk fucked up his work and got sent to babysitting duty

#

So the Witness basically appointed Nez as ā€œhead discipleā€ and sent him to lead the charge on sol

#

And he then got himself killed

empty fern
cloud gust
#

We need more Nezarec lore :(

ember storm
#

So the witness went a different direction with Calus and just used him as a distraction

pastel trench
sick yew
#

I should maybe check in Raid Secrets if anyone got something on that whole language thing

#

Sounds like their kind of thing

pastel trench
#

do we have any list of all species that gotā€œdevouredā€œ by the witness and made them a part of him or smth

sick yew
#

Havent been in that place in ages now that I think of it

pastel trench
sick yew
#

?

ember storm
#

The witness just conquered civilizations and only kept knowledge/experience from outliers

pastel trench
empty fern
#

We have dread names
And that’s it
Ghost just says ā€œa previous conquered speciesā€

ember storm
#

The flying ones are completely new

empty fern
#

Just the flying ones?

sick yew
#

Considering that the Witness has been chasing the Traveler for a shit ass long time there are probably a lot

ember storm
#

Some old species the witness destroyed/conquered

empty fern
#

Oh are the other ones acolytes?

ember storm
#

The rest are all things we’ve seen

pastel trench
#

The sisters dad was the osmium king right

#

Checking some lore tabs rn

ember storm
#

Husks are never directly mentioned but they’re pretty clearly hive

empty fern
#

Yea should be

ember storm
#

They have the acolyte grenade animation and their little soul thing looks like a worm infected with resonance

#

Actually they might just be worms puppeting hive corpses

cloud gust
#

Ok so I looked it up and I got Clovis Bray II and Alton Bray mixed up
Clovis Bray II became an Exo and got so disassociated that he ripped his body apart

empty fern
sick yew
#

Since they just fall down like empty husks once the worm thingy exits

ember storm
#

Yeah I think the FS vidoc said something about pilots

sick yew
#

kind of the same thing

Holy shit dread Titanfall

I have a few questions:

  1. What exactly is the Witness?

  2. Does the Darkness prefer the Witness over the Guardian, what does it want?

  3. If the Witness is empowered by Darkness, why does the Darkness also empower us to destroy it? (When we embrace it to destroy the statues.)

ember storm
#

They though the traveler and the light brought pointless chaos and suffering to the universe

#

Darkness is just a power, it doesn’t act, people use it for what they want

#

ā€œEmbracing darknessā€ was just tapping into the primordial darkness linked to the statues so we could destroy the statues

fresh zephyr
ember storm
#

The traveler creates light

fresh zephyr
#

When was it created?

fresh zephyr
#

Is there an entity that creates darkness?

jagged badge
#

The earliest recorded history of the Traveler is when the Witness’ people found it buried on their homeworld

jagged badge
fresh zephyr
ember storm
#

The witness tried to give us stasis as a kind of manipulation

#

We discovered the power of strand on our own

small quartz
fresh zephyr
blazing wasp
#

Somewhat unknown but as far as we know, no

small quartz
#

iono...

ember storm
#

They weren’t giant cloud heads if that’s what you’re wondering

fresh zephyr
#

and the hands

ember storm
#

Just two arms and hands

fresh zephyr
#

oh ok lol

blazing wasp
#

They were very similar to humans

fresh zephyr
#

Does the Veil care about humans like the Traveler or nah?

ember storm
#

It’s debatable whether it’s even sentient

cinder geode
ember storm
#

But it really hasn’t had any positive events related to it

little gorge
#

we found strand

ember storm
#

The veil? Yes

dim minnow
#

The way Witness and Nezarec refer to it could indicate a degree of sentience

jagged badge
#

How about the lore tab for the ritual SMG this season?

worldly river
#

Or well not implication but, possibility

#

I feel like the Dissenters call into question any interaction with the veiled statues that isn't made explicitly clear to be the Witness proper

trim grotto
#

I quite disagree. The Dissenters never put a step out of line until the Pale Heart, and the Black Fleet that opened a line of communication to us on Io - which Savathƻn tried to stop - told us that power awaited on Europa.

ember storm
#

The veiled statues only represented Dissenters as a force in the pale heart

#

Every time prior they were utilized by the witness

#

And also yknow the ghost possession telling us directly that stasis is a ā€œgiftā€

small quartz
#

What guns in destiny actually smell/taste like something

#

@trim grotto please confirm my crack fueled suspicions

tough kettle
#

lol

trim grotto
#

I've been doing lore for years and have never been asked this question

tough kettle
#

makes sense, no?

#

gun taste like gun

small quartz
#

Like

#

What if paracausal energy actually tastes like candy corn

#

Or Dr Pepper

tough kettle
#

i would think different forms of light or dark would have different tastes

#

and what about plain kinetic weapons, depending on the weapon it wont taste like paracausal energy

small quartz
#

Light tastes like Sour Watermelon

ember storm
#

They taste like funnier jokes

empty fern

Vanilla

I was making a joke about taste

is that from that one quote where the guy says the inside of the traveler smells faintly of vanilla

Yes

Good old Fenchurch

What happened to Elsie’s accent

empty fern
#

It got frozen

trim grotto
covert stone
#

The real answer is that her original VA was unavailable/expensive. The headcanon lore answer is that the various time travelling she's done has affected her accent enough that it kinda just changes whenever

empty fern
#

Source it pepesus

sick yew
#

Wait Elsie doesnt have the same va?

#

Huh

jagged badge
#

At least, it’s not an explanation for the accent change from Beyond Light - Seraph that people bring up

#

In D1 the Exo Stranger had a different VA. In Beyond Light she was recast, for whatever reason. In Season of the Seraph she has the same VA as in BL

would Nic Cage still be as talented as he currently is Post Ghost Revival

Why him of all people

Hes an amazing actor

Debatable

small quartz

...

sick yew
#

Hes not bad per say but idk

#

Hes weird

sick yew
#

I never know what to make of him

#

Hes like Tobey Maguire where he almost always seems just a bit out of place

#

Anyway lore chat

#

To me ones personality is not a thing youre born with but something that develops as you grow up based on your experiences and environment
So since Guardians retain no memories their personalities also get wiped in a sense

#

And they develop anew from then on

small quartz
#

what abt Shaxxsphere? doesnt that poke holes in that theory

sick yew
#

What about who?

small quartz

The Theory Shaxx is Shakesphere

sick yew

That is indeed a theory

yeah so wouldnt that poke holes in that theory

sick yew
sick yew

he prolly did

lets be honest

No author is sane especially not in the 1800s

But Shaxx is very sane

Even there they werent really involved

Guess it really has been since Arrivals since they did anything

someone snorts the space dust

#

Man im still so sad that they seemingly abandoned Neomuna for future plot stuff

#

I wish we had gotten a seasonal storyline of Nimbus becoming the new leader type Cloudstrider and having to teach the new rookie

small quartz

it was like

the weirdest designed Nothingburger of a city

#

like, the design alone is so confusing and boring

sick yew

Thats just wrong man

#

Neomuna was cool as hell

#

One of my favorite destinations easily

#

And a million times better than the Throne World

small quartz
#

Wow

#

Yeah no you're wrong

Throne World dope as shit

It is extremely boring to look at and it feels insanely empty

The Architecture alone is better than Anything Neomuna has

Star Wars and Cyberpunk are both sci fi but are in almost no ways similar to each other

i get what you mean

#

yah u right by saying it explores more than scifi

sick yew

It explores a different type of sci fi

stark fjord

it goes a different path
