so they just spectate?

ember storm
#

Well they’re “working” on a way to get themselves bodies

frosty belfry
#

so xur isn’t apart of the nine?

ember storm
#

He’s their unpaid intern

#

And he also got kidnapped by Starhorse to help host Dares

#

Working double shifts for no benefits

frosty belfry
#

oh

#

also why does he have tentacles

#

and why is he sick

tough kettle
ember storm
#

He just got his spine broken by a guardian once

#

That same guardian later became the emissary by the way

#

So not only is working for the Nine an HR nightmare, but there are no healthcare benefits

Someone should hold them accountable

as soon as i start to think i understand whats going on in destiny this shi happens

I'm not familiar with Maya lore but here's what I know

She was a Golden Age researcher that was involved with Braytech and the Ishtar Collective. When studying the Vex, she found 227 copies of herself and the other Ishtar researchers, and those copies were sent back into the Vex network to explore. During/after(?) the Collapse, she went to Neptune and helped found Neomuna. Also at some point she did experiments with Exos and one of these experiments involved putting her consiousness in an Exo named Lakshmi or some shit

bright stream
#

lmao i wish that they kept all the seasonal content so i could catch up on it

bright stream
#

thats why im confused as to when she got ahold of the bodyu

analog torrent
#

She was also there when Eliksni destroyed London after the Collapse

#

Part of why she's so racist CATGRIN

#

No idea why Sundaresh is wearing Lakshmi's face as the Conductor instead of her original form though

bright stream
#

boutta watch some more byf vids

covert stone
#

She'll reveal in Act 3 that it was cheaper to reuse a model and rehire a voice actor more convenient to use a body that had Radiolaria in it already

analog torrent
#

The lore is straight fire

#

I just linked you a hub to every piece of Sundaresh lore ever

#

Read that instead 🙏

bright stream
#

where

analog torrent
bright stream
#

i read it

analog torrent
#

1sec I'll get it in chronological order

bright stream
#

i have mad respect for the lore community

#

idk how they can look through every item and piece together stories

analog torrent
#

The real lore is in the linked articles

#

Ctrl+F for "sundaresh" for the articles in rough chronological order

bright stream
#

alr bet

#

naw bruh

#

221 pages for part 1 is crazy

#

i really like the time frames and the years they give

#

destiny makes it seem like everything happened within 100 years or some

covert stone
#

The story that follows our Guardian happens in real time

# bright stream wheres part 2 btw

It's not that bad CATGRIN
Sundaresh pre-227: Tractor Cannon, the Ghost Fragment: Vex tabs

#

Do the krill still exist or did they all become hive

ember storm
#

Only one was exempt from that and she’s almost certainly dead now

#

Savathun is still a hive even though she lost her worm, it’s not like there was a transformation for losing it

stark fjord
#

is it safe to presume all echoes have the same power?

dim minnow
#

So that means there are Echoes of other things

stark fjord
#

if fikrul has become a monster in contact of the diamond

#

then

#

probs echo of power or something

dim minnow
#

I feel the Echo Fikrul has will tie into his beliefs

#

That anything can be made into a tool to be wielded

#

It sounds like Revenant will conclude Fikrul's story, so I really hope that the idea of him being our antithesis is used

small quartz
#

so how did Calus force the Traveler to give him light

jagged badge
#

I’m gonna assume you meant Ghaul

#

But he didn’t

small quartz

Riht sorry

the other swords needed other materials

#

Can a single Vex travel back in time?

dim minnow
#

funny thing about the Vex

#

they are time traveling robots, but they don't time travel nor are they robots

#

basically they give off the illusion of time travel using their very powerful simulation capbilities

fast tapir
#

fake ass mfs

dim minnow
#

there was a lore entry that described a Vex teleporting as "rewriting history"

dim minnow
#

what the Vex really are is what is contained within the Radiolaria

small quartz
#

so

dim minnow
#

the Vex Milk

small quartz
#

they ARE robots

#

but they're not

#

they're mechs

dim minnow
#

something like that

#

the Vex themselves are contained within the Radiolaria

small quartz
#

can I drink Radiolaria

dim minnow
small quartz
#

I understand that

#

but

#

It seems funny

dim minnow
#

Vex can convert people into Vex

drinking the Milk is a sure-fire way to make that happen

Again

small quartz

again??

# small quartz again??

The Maya that mind melded (???) with Lakshmi turned out to be racist
One of the 227 Mayas, I assume, is the Conductor
Another one of the 227 Mayas tortured Clovis Bray for info on Clarity Control

analog torrent
#

During the Golden Age, Maya was part of the Ishtar Collective research team, and she discovered 227 simulated copies of herself and her team in the Vex network

#

Those 227 copies went on to do some crazy shit

small quartz
#

oh wtf

#

What they do

analog torrent
#

They went back into the network to do research

#

A lot of them died

#

One of them tortured Clovis Bray
A lot of them met Praedyth, one of the members of the VoG fireteam that got lost

#

This loretab covers some of what they did, same with the rest of the lorebook Aspect

Here's how it goes: you and Maya and Shim and Duane-McNiadh take your first cautious, sliding steps out into the Vex information network. You get your footing. You've got to translate everything into metaphor to understand it, here, and this is like tightrope walking on a greased line. You and Maya lean into each other. Shim slips, and ...

#

As for racism CATGRIN
During Splicer, the Eliksni came to the City for shelter and Lakshmi wasn't happy about it, to say the least

small quartz
#

NO ELIKSNI RACISM ON MY WATCH

analog torrent
#

Think about it from her perspective though
You watch humanity fall. Some bug fuckers arrive from outer space and start killing humans. You take shelter in one of the last cities still standing. The bug fuckers burn your city to the ground for shits and giggles. They continue to terrorize humanity for hundreds (thousands?) of years. Now they want to come to the heart of the actual last city when they're in trouble?

#

Ikora had a really insightful take on it

#

The lingering trauma of centuries. Ransom cannot get out of its shadow. Part of me cannot either.

...In this gap lives the idea of "qualia," the first-person experiences of the mind. You cannot describe or communicate qualia; you can only have them.

Is there an explanatory gap between knowing the history of Eliksni violence against humanity and living through it? Is there a gap between experiencing full-sensorium captures of that night and actually being there, in London, when the Devils finally broke the wall?

There must be. Qualia of pain and hate.

...I wonder if Ransom would still push for the "complete extirpation of invasive Fallen from the system" if he lost his memory of all those centuries, if he had to relearn it all from books. What if he were like a newborn Guardian again? Richly educated on our bleak history with the Eliksni, but not scarred by the experience of it?

Would he still arrive at the same unshakeable conviction that they all have to go?

Or would he be missing some irreducible qualia, some pearl grown around the grit of first-person suffering?

small quartz

Asked never to cook again ❤️

dim minnow

#

How does that affect the real timeline?

dim minnow
#

the Vex desire to bring their simulations into reality

#

they use the simulations as a baseline I think

#

keep in mind I don't really recall the full explanation

Kabr the Legionless consumed the radiolarian fluid of the Oracles within the Vault of Glass, and was forcibly turned into a Vex.

#

Asher Mir was injected with Radiolaria, and was slowly turning into a Vex himself, as was his Ghost.

small quartz
sick yew
#

There were also Radiolaria related experiments back in the golden age

#

Two of the Braytech Confidential entries related to it

#

Destiny is a grimdark cosmic horror and the only thing that prevents you from realizing it is that you're something like chosen chaos space marine in warhammer

Mithrax took the Primordial Darkness from his corpse parts and distilled it into the tea

civic quarry
civic quarry
dim minnow
#

not exactly

#

and Destiny can be dark, but I don't think it qualifies as Grimdark

it ain't edgy

civic quarry

not consistently but there is some edgy lore

dim minnow
#

yeah, but not overly edgy

civic quarry

dim minnow

at least not for the sake of being edgy either

also it balances out with

ghost community theatre

dim minnow
#

then again, Warhammer has kids books

civic quarry
small quartz
dim minnow
small quartz
#

freaky

dim minnow
#

we end up getting all of them and at that point, Mithrax started being guided by the whispers from them

#

he used his knowledge of the relics and as a Splicer to distill the potent Primordial Darkness that emanated from the relics

small quartz
#

so he made darkness tea

dim minnow
#

the result was a tea that was given to Osiris to wake him up from the coma Savathun put him under

#

it also seems like this procedure had a negative effect on Mithrax

small quartz
#

oh?

dim minnow
#

he's basically dying

small quartz
#

NOOOO

dim minnow
#

like has been and it's becoming more apparent

small quartz
#

BUG MAN

#

DONT DIIE

#

HOW CAN WE CURE HIM

dim minnow
warped karma
#

speakers sight kekw

small quartz
#

How EXACTLY

#

does the Pyramid shard give stasis

#

like is it because its the darkness?

#

because I kinda thought the darkness subclasses was Darkness kinda filtered through light

dim minnow
#

the splinter seems to be the Witness' way of directly giving someone the ability to harness Stasis

#

but pretty much anyone can learn to use it even without it

small quartz
#

Evil Bug Lady learn

#

whats her name

dim minnow
#

Eramis?

small quartz
#

Eramis yes

#

WOW Beyond Light was four years ago

dim minnow
#

I think after her defeat in Beyond Light and her release a year later she might have actually properly learned to harness Stasis

small quartz
dim minnow
small quartz
#

?

dim minnow
#

maybe so it can try and learn where the Veil went from him

small quartz
#

No I mean the

#

Triangle things

dim minnow
#

oh the Splinters

small quartz
#

which grant it

dim minnow
#

I think the Splinters may be a sort of shortcut

#

like it allows you to harness Stasis without needing to actually learn how to wield it

#

which is why Stasis turned on Eramis when she was defeated

#

at least that's my thoughts on it

#

like Eramis was not in a very good spot mentally when she was beaten (she wasn't really doing to well thoughout the entire BL campaign really)

#

the Splinter seemed to be the only thing allowing her to keep control

#

so when it failed she had nothing else to fall back on since her mental state was at a breaking point

slim girder
#

Another theory would be the splinters are the original mechanism for acquiring stasis. To "activate" it within a being. Like how with strand, we first found it when in proximity to the veil.

#

All light comes from the traveler but darkness seems to come from multiple different sources.

sick yew
#

Darkness kinda just exists

#

Floating around

#

Being dark

sick yew
#

Or rather learn

slim girder
sick yew
slim girder
#

Corrupted how though? I'm sure the witness could corrupt through darkness but to my knowledge we never saw what the dark future lore actually meant by that.

worldly river
#

Stasis is all about control anyway, that entire mindset can potentially be inherently somewhat corruptive even without an influence behind it

slim girder
#

In my mind it'd be similar to what the weavers and attendants are like. All covered in darkness and completely taken over by those energies and then manipulated by the witness.

small quartz
#

Sooo

#

Whats strand then

sick yew
#

Also darkness

small quartz
#

but whys it just

#

Floating around Neomuna

#

I understand the Splinters awakening something

#

but Strand?

sick yew
#

Its possibly because of the Veil

small quartz
#

🙂

#

The Veil

#

Oh How Much I Love The Veil

warped karma
#

what even is the veil?

sick yew
#

Darkness thingy

small quartz
small quartz
#

whats the new one

#

"Finality"?

sick yew
#

What

#

wdym "finality"

small quartz
#

Idk

#

theres rumors

#

Oop sorry

sick yew
#

Regardless if thats real or fake its a potential leak

small quartz
#

Sorry sorry

sick yew
#

And we dont allow leak/datamine related discussion

#

(imo its probably fake)

small quartz
#

is it just Eternal Stasis?

#

for everything

sick yew
#

Stasis in the literal sense not in the destiny subclass sense

#

But yes

#

Basically everything gets "frozen" (not literally ice) in place for eternity

#

No new life
No death of existing life

#

Basically a gigantic pause button

#

You saw a glimpse of it in the Final Shape opening cutscene

slim girder
#

You are also "reshaped" into a form that witness deems suitable.

#

If you want a really dumbed down version the witness is basically lord business from the Lego movie with the glue.

sick yew
#

Thats kinda what it offered us at the end of the campaign
We get to choose how exactly we end up being frozen in time

#

In the Witnesses mind thats somehow a disirable thing

small quartz
#

I love being frozen™️

slim girder
# sick yew In the Witnesses mind thats somehow a disirable thing

Because it's a life without pain or suffering. It did say when the witness was formed that it culled its doubts and fears into one being with an indomitable will. So it probably didn't understand that death and suffering is what gives life purpose to an extent and is part of the universe.

sick yew
#

I know the Witnesses weird ideas yes

#

They are obviously wrong

#

After the Final Shape there would not be a point in "living"

#

Being forever stuck in place unable to do anything

#

It goes beyond boring existence id be torture

#

Purgatory would probably be a better word for it

jovial nimbus
#

whats the lore behind king's fall raid

#

yes i just started playing 1 month ago so i dont know much

ember storm
#

You kill the king of the hive and taken

#

So

#

The king falls

jagged badge
static bluff
#

it chronologically happened before any destiny 2 events, it's from destiny 1.

oryx, the final boss of the raid, was the father of crota, another hive god. crota was overall causing trouble on the moon so we killed him (crota's end raid). something something oryx sought revenge and came to our system, we weaken him during the campaign and finish him in the raid

ember storm
#

The raid is from D1, to be clear

#

Its appearance in D2 isn’t anything story related

jagged badge
#

So we make our way through his Dreadnaught, dismantling more of his tribute system as we kill the Warpriest, Golgoroth and his daughters

ember storm
#

It’s just a thing you can do for the loot and experience of it

jovial nimbus
#

epic

jagged badge
#

And then we kill him

jovial nimbus
#

so we kill a big part of the hive family? epic

jagged badge
#

Aye

#

He came for revenge after we killed his son so we kill his daughters and him thumbsupman

In lore probably yea, but in game no

so thats

More similar to Acrobat's Dodge, but this was before that dodge existed. Also, it was with his Golden Gun, it wasn't a dodge.

small quartz
#

uhh

trim grotto

He pressed the barrel to the ground, fired, and it empowered the rifles of the Frames fighting alongside him.

Redjacks, specifically.

#

ohhhh

tough kettle
#

shaw han is a loser i wish he didnt exist. horrible boring character shitty design

trim grotto
#

Yes yes, tutorial character boring. We've heard it before.

#

Shaw Han has had some interesting moments in the lore before, however. He's an interesting example of a fairly standard Guardian of moderate feat.

i just think it would be better if new light in d2 was like the beginning of the first destiny game where you just have to find a ship and go to the tower

#

If a guardian got a tattoo or something, would they be revived with it?

ember storm
#

Zavala has those marks on his neck

#

That was before, though, right?

idle tendon
#

i believe if you make any changes to your body (tattoos, haircuts, etc) you’ll have them if you get revived

trim grotto
uneven canyon
#

So changes to guardians stay after revival? I don’t see why that wouldn't be the case, but I just wanted to check

ember storm
#

I mean yeah

#

The “perfect template” thing is just a random theory

#

Ghosts don’t even need to know how the guardian’s body is built or functions for a rez

#

They just come back

#

There was actually one time that Shaxx hit a guardian so hard they sustained damage even after a rez

trim grotto
#

We haven't seen any tattoos or similar examples to refer to.

small quartz
#

the ghost revives remind me of the Ultimatrix

#

and how it'd always revert ben into his green jacket and black shirt

#

even if he transformed while wearing something else

gaunt carbon
#

if a guardian starved to death would they still be hungry after being revived

small quartz
#

probably not

dim minnow
#

though Ghosts can negate the effects of Hunger

He starved to death a lot in the Dark Ages, and woke up still hungry each time.

I’m not up to speed on the story rn for echoes

#

But how is Maya evil

#

Wasn’t she a golden age researcher

#

Or whatever

#

Friends with the chioma esi person

when she first discovered the Veil on Neomuna, she grew obsessed with it

pretty much turning into the bad person Clovis Bray was

having a total disregard for the lives of others

dim minnow

Oh ok

#

They were the first people on neomuna right

dim minnow

it seemed like Chioma was there before Maya

but they were recognized as Neomuna's founders

Is chioma dead?

Maya messed with the Veil and was presumed dead so Chioma hid all the Veil research away and then thre herself into the Vex network where it seemed like the two reunited

"grey aliens" are an entirely different kind, they are a kind of "stereotypical" alien found in many mainstream sci-fi things

If I'm not mistaken, humanity's first experience with an alien force would be the Traveler, followed by the Vex, and then the K1 Anomaly and Clarity Control.

Of course golden age humanity didn’t have any clue what they were looking at

But it whispered to Clovis and told him to go to Europa

An amorphous Darkness artifact. Not that we knew what Darkness was at the time.

And low and behold he found the veiled statue which he dubbed Clarity

Clarity Control, specifically. The force it emanated was dubbed Clarity.

sick yew
#

But couldnt they just wish for immortality

#

iirc wish magic is basically limitless in its capabilities

trim grotto
#

It's absolutely limited. It took the combined Wish of 6 Guardians to Wish the Dreaming City Curse into place.

sick yew
#

But only one guy to invent a substance that makes zombie eliksni

#

lol

trim grotto
#

It took Variks to turn that into something greater than it was

#

man accidentally made zombies

sick yew
#

Based Variks ngl

#

Love that bro

trim grotto
#

"let me fuck around with this evil lich guy and some corpses this'll go well"

sick yew
#

On the topic of wishes actually

#

Did we ever figure out how the wish wall functions?

#

Like how did they pull that off

dim minnow
sick yew
#

nono

#

I mean how does the machine work

#

Throw some funny symbols in the air and boom wish

dim minnow
trim grotto
#

It sends that to Riven

dim minnow
#

yeah it's more of a translator

#

or something like it

sick yew
#

So its just perfectly said so the usual side effects of wishes dont apply

dim minnow
#

you take your wish, and you convert it to the symbols which you input into the wall

#

what it does is it limits Riven's ability to mess with the wish

sick yew
#

Yeah

#

Interesting

sick yew
#

Wish dragons really are a funky side of destiny lore

#

Quick recap of season of the wish
Did Riven die?

#

I didnt play at all during that seasons

dim minnow
#

her spirit is pretty much gone now

#

even with the Techeun summoning ritual, she only had enough strength for the Last Wish (and I guess Crow's wish to meet Cayde)

sick yew
#

She just got old over the years or what

trim grotto
#

She wasn't brought back to life, it was her spirit that was summoned

sick yew
#

Oh

#

So shes properly dead after wish ye?

dim minnow
#

Ahamkara transcend death

sick yew
#

mhm

trim grotto
#

Such as it is to an Ahamkara

dim minnow
#

their remains can hold wish-granting power, but it is very diminished at that point

#

bringing Riven's spirit back ensures she can grant the Last Wish

sick yew
#

That I know from the "few" Ahamkara related exotics

dim minnow
#

and Ahamkara do need to use energy to grant the wish

sick yew
#

And what was all that stuff about her offspring/ the egg

dim minnow
#

which is why Riven's spirit faded away after granting the Last Wish

dim minnow
#

and she wanted them safe

sick yew
dim minnow
#

she basically forced us to find them all or else she wouldn't grant the Wish

dim minnow
#

the only truly good Ahamkara (so far)

sick yew
#

I see

#

And whats up with the eggs now

dim minnow
#

Mara is keeping an eye on them

sick yew
#

Do I have to break out the good old wish ender again

dim minnow
#

she intends on fulfilling Riven's wishes and allowing the eggs to hatch when the time comes

dim minnow
#

in that they will be good like him

sick yew
#

I was about to say that doesnt sound like that solid of a plan ngl

dim minnow
#

eh, I guess we'll give it a shot

sick yew
#

Great hunt season 2

#

Cant wait

dim minnow
#

hmmm

#

you know, I just remembered that the Nine took to getting rid of any other Ahamkara after Riven got Taken

#

since they didn't want the same happening to them

#

I wonder if this was related to Taranis scattering the eggs

#

I know the Great Hunt and Riven being Taken were both the leading factors in Taranis choosing to grant his own wish

#

but I also wonder if Taranis (likely unknowingly) saved his clutch from the Nine in doing so

dim minnow
#

it turned out they were scattered all throughout the Ley Lines

#

as it turns out, Taranis is the reason for this

sick yew
#

Real quick these are not the same eggs we blew up during Forsaken yes?

dim minnow
sick yew
#

Ah

#

Alright continue please

dim minnow
#

so the eggs were scattered because Taranis made a wish to keep them safe

#

it just so happens that was the form the wish took

#

and since Taranis granted his own wish, he ceased to be

sick yew
#

Could another Ahamkara theoretically have granted his wish without dying?

dim minnow
#
  1. Ahamkara are not known for forming good bonds with each other since they view any other member of their species as competitors. So other Ahamkara would not have any virtuous motive to help him.
sick yew
#

competitors for what?

dim minnow
#
  1. Taranis was all alone, any other Ahamkara were almost certainly dead or unable to reach him
dim minnow
#

given how Ahamakra feed from the wishes, their food source isn't exactly sharable

#
  1. Any other Ahamkara will twist his wish in a bad way. Better Taranis himself granted the Wish so he can guarantee it works out rather than trust another one of his kind (which are known to be deceptive)
#

Riven couldn't do it herself since she was Taken at the time (and Taranis did not want a part of that)

#

simply put, there was no way he can reach another Ahamkara from where he was at and even if he did, there was no reason why he could trust them

#

for reference, he was in his Lair which was in the Black Garden

sick yew
#

I see I see

#

So it might be possible for Ahamkara to grant each others wishes but they all hate each other

#

Does that really make sense tho?

#

Wouldnt it just make sense for them to grant each other wishes continously for "food"

blazing wasp
#

Question is, would they be able to

#

Like would it work

small quartz
#

will we use the Ahamkaras wishes?

#

and Revive Cayde again

sick yew
#

As per usual with Mara

small quartz
#

PIZZA TIME

#

wait

#

wdym as per usual

sick yew
#

The Awoken tend to do stuff like that

small quartz
#

🤨 huh

sick yew
#

Forsaken

#

Season of Defiance

#

The other one Awoken season

small quartz
#

I know one of thos

#

OH ALSO

#

WHYS THERE A JAIL???

#

DONT WE KILL ALL THE GUYS

sick yew
#

We guardians do yeah

#

Awoken not so much

sick yew
#

They have worked with Eliksni so using them to kill other Eliksni probably wouldnt have gone so well

#

So it was prison time instead

small quartz
#

how did that work out agai-

small quartz
sick yew
#

Cut a deal with Savathun

small quartz
#

why

sick yew
#

uuuuuh Osiris

small quartz
#

nvm

sick yew
#

Alright

small quartz
#

Why do we keep saving Osiris

sick yew
#

Cause bro is amazing at putting himself in situations where we need to bail him out

small quartz
#

how many times has he gotten himself in a situation

sick yew
#

Twice

#

Well thrice if you count the opening to Lightfall

small quartz
#

if we lose Mithrax

#

because of this broke ass mf

sick yew
#

What?

small quartz
#

isnt Mithrax dying

#

cuz he had to make something to save Osiris

sick yew
#

Mithrax? Nah hes chilling

small quartz
#

wait hes not dying?

sick yew
#

Would be the first time im hearing of this

small quartz
#

someone lying to me bruh

sick yew
#

Who said so

#

Or rather in what context

small quartz
sick yew
#

Oh its Dova

#

nvm then its probably right

small quartz
#

NOT OUR BUG QUEEN

sick yew
#

King

#

Mithrax is a guy

small quartz
#

Men can be queens

sick yew
#

Fair

small quartz
#

and He is our Bug Queen

sick yew
#

@dim minnow can you point me towards some stuff about Mithrax's condition?

small quartz
#

he used the SPlicer

sick yew
#

He seemed pretty fine in the Final Shape campaign

small quartz
#

on Nezarcs? corpse

small quartz
sick yew

# sick yew I have no idea You tell me lmao


Mithrax moved carefully through the Hangar. The thrum of idling grav drives and hissing pneumatic lifts made his aching head throb. He squinted toward the interface setup at the far end of the docking bay and stopped short; even amidst the cacophony, Saint's absence was jarring.
Mithrax cast his gaze down as a dusty gray pigeon bobbed indigna...

#

Certainly not healthy

sick yew
#

Bro is going through it

#

I wonder if this will be a plot point during Episode 2

ember storm
#

On one hand maybe

#

On the other I don’t think I want every Eliksni character to be forced into the episode

sick yew
#

As long as we get Variks i'll be fine

ember storm
#

I want Variks and the worm to talk

sick yew
#

The Parasite work?

ember storm
#

Yes

sick yew
#

Cause funny same va or what

ember storm
#

It’ll be like bringing back clone wars for the fourth time

#

It’s always funny

sick yew
ember storm
#

But spider is voiced by medic

#

How could you

sick yew
#

Wait what

ember storm
#

Robin Atkin Downes

sick yew
#

He voices spider?

ember storm
#

And he’s also 6’2

#

Yes

sick yew
#

I genuinely did not know that

ember storm
#

He was also the bad guy in the most recent ratchet and clank game and got a bad guy opera song

sick yew
#

Actually now that I think of it I cant even remember Spiders voice

#

its come back to me now

#

Damn

ember storm
#

Destiny 2: Season of the Hunt - The Spider Introduces The Crow Meeting The Crow (formerly known as Prince Uldren Sov of the Awoken, now revived as a Guardian bereft of memory)

This dialogue has The Spider explaining Uldren Sov's whereabouts and how he came across him as a newly resurrected Guardian. He also explains how the Crow being employed ...

▶ Play video
ember storm
#

He’s such an ass

sick yew
#

How has he been holding up since funny pirate season

#

Mentioned in the lore at all?

ember storm
#

I dunno

sick yew
#

Probably chilling in the last city trying to stay under Mithrax's radar

ember storm
#

But what’s funny is that spider is basically just the same performance he had for the second opinion Halloween cosmetic for medic

sick yew
#

Funny times

cloud gust
dull raft
#

thought he was in the post excision inkblot cutscene

#

alongside variks, with the two of them observing projections of Fikrul and Eramis

sick yew
#

Yeah that's just a teaser for Episode 2

#

I meant beforehand

cloud gust
# sick yew What was that about

Basically him receiving a skimmer and they didn’t really know who it was from (although it did say who but it’s a group that hasn’t really been depicted much in the lore)

#

The Concordat

#

That’s who it was

sick yew
#

Huh

#

Curious

cloud gust
#

Allstar Vector
That’s the Skimmer name

slim girder
#

I do wonder if we'll meet the concordat. Maybe even lysander if he's still alive.

sick yew
#

Who

slim girder
#

Lysander is the leader of the concordat

#

The crucible map bannerfall is the aftermath of a fight guardians had because of him.

sick yew
#

Oh was that this 4th faction that lives in the old tower

slim girder
#

Yes. I need to read the lore again but I believe they rose up against the speaker and plotted a coup. This resulted in a faction war involving guardians.
Fun fact I think cayde came up with the name "Lysanders fall" for the map but others wanted no record of his name around so it was called bannerfall instead.

sick yew
#

I dont recall them having this much lore lmao

#

But that does sound like the potential plot we thought would happen in Splicer

slim girder
#

A concordat banner was in the hall of champions during into the light. So I think we will get something about them at some point.
The skimmer was a peace offering from them but eva Levante just decided to redo the paint job with guardian games colours.

sick yew
#

Based Eva

#

Thing is I dont really see them appear in the ingame narrative anytime soon

#

Episode 2 and 3 dont exactly seem like they'd fit in there

#

maybe Frontiers but eh

slim girder
#

Me neither. But I could see a side plot involving them.

#

Like a story told through lore books and in game items.

sick yew
#

Yeah thats always a possibility

#

On the note of side stories

#

Whats Shayura up to these days

slim girder
#

I have no idea lol. I'm guessing still hunting dark wielding guardians?

sick yew
#

Last thing I remember hearing about her was during the Witch Queen days when she was put into therapy

#

When she lost it properly after meeting a hive guardian

slim girder
#

Sounds like she's gone off the deep end then. Maybe even to an extent she could be dangerous.

sick yew
#

Yes she lost it properly

#

But got back to the last city and went into therapy

slim girder
#

Another side plot I'm curious about is jana 14 the Warlock researcher and "mother" for the osteo striga.
I really want to see more weapons of sorrow or even armour pieces tied to sorrow like necrotic grips.

sick yew
#

Is she the one that experimented with Thorn?

#

I remember reading about that ages ago

dim minnow
sick yew
#

oh?

dim minnow
#

Concordat's coup was foiled by New Monarchy at Bannerfall

#

after that, they were removed from the Last City

#

then FWC was chosen to take their place

sick yew
#

Ah

slim girder
# sick yew Is she the one that experimented with Thorn?

The artefact as it's called yeah. Kept discharging and she became obsessed with it to the point she studied her dying colleague as they were being corrupted. No actual confirmation if it was the original thorn or something else though.
My theory is that it was what became the necrotic grips and yor was attempting to wield the darkness energy from thorn without the need for a weapon.

dim minnow
#

should be noted that there is no way Jana got her hands on the real Thorn

#

Shin Malphur kept the real Thorn hidden away for years until he allowed us to obtain it

#

then we promptly purified it back into Rose which we then transformed into Lumina

sick yew
#

"promptly" the Lumina quest sitting in my inventory for months before I bothered to use it

slim girder
#

The original thorn was so dark that incantations were placed on the inside of the chest even to keep it contained.

#

And it's noted that holding it made our guardian visibly sick.

dim minnow
sick yew
slim girder
#

I hope we get more lore and even more exotics that use what I'm just going to call sorrow from now on tbh.

oak oxide
#

Are there guardians who blur the lines between classes in terms of their abilities?

slim girder
#

Yes kinda

#

Efrideet kinda went full titan and threw saladin at a fallen walker.

#

But as for actual light or even dark abilities no.

dim minnow
oak oxide
slim girder
#

Not really no.

#

The classes are pretty set in stone it seems. Only thing that blurs the line now is the light and dark abilities of those classes.

sick yew
#

Oh yeah @dim minnow now that I have you here

#

Whats Shayura up to

#

She still in Guardian therapy?

dim minnow
#

they even went out on a mission

#

we get to see it ingame too

sick yew
#

Where

#

When

dim minnow
sick yew
#

Lightfall?

dim minnow
sick yew
#

Wait dont tell me shes one of the guardians that got killed by the Witness

sick yew
#

Oh thank god

dim minnow
#

but she was one of the three ships the Witness sliced

sick yew
#

Damn she survived that?

dim minnow
#

her Ghost was unharmed

#

same with Aisha

#

Reed-7 wasn't so lucky...

sick yew
#

I was about to say

#

Guess the Titan we literally saw get sliced was Reed then...

#

Man

#

What does the Witness have against Titans

#

First Joxer now Reeed

#

Well other way around but you get my point

dim minnow
#

so you already know the Titan killed at the start of Deep is Joxer

sick yew
#

Yeah

sick yew
dim minnow
#

since we know Reed was in the D1 Titan armor in the Lightfall opening and we see a Titan wearing that armor behind Zavala in the Seraph finale

#

and there are 2 other guardians in D1 armor standing with him in that chutscene

sick yew
#

Lemme see

#

There I assume

dim minnow
sick yew
#

Neat

dim minnow
#

she's either the Warlock or the Hunter

#

I think Warlock

sick yew
#

Wait we dont know what class she is?

#

I always thought she was a Warlock

dim minnow
#

she might have said something about Praxic fire at some point

#

so that indicates Warlock

sick yew
#

Yeah

#

Also the fact shes a huge crybaby

#

Generally applies more to Warlocks lets be real

#

And shes obviously not a Titan
We dont go to therapy, we bottle it all up and either become evil or go on an endless war against everyone

#

Shoutouts to my bros Rezzyl and Saint

slim girder
sick yew
#

Yeah

slim girder
#

And then Amanda hit the wreckage of that same ship it looked like.

sick yew
#

She survived tho

#

Well at least for a few weeks

#

Then

sick yew
slim girder
#

I do wonder what that must have been like. Like there's a planes that go down and then there's having your ship go down and re enter earths atmosphere.

dim minnow
#

you may have said it first, but I said it louder therefore it is my joke

dim minnow
sick yew
#

Not to be disrespectful here but it was high time her luck ran out
Shes been flying air support for years against enemy races known for building city block sized military bases

dim minnow
#

though it didn't stop the Shadow Legion from scooping her up

sick yew
slim girder
#

Unfortunately without her ship there's only so much the chaperone can do. Not the most useful PvE weapon after all

sick yew
#

Shes a good shot tbh

#

Crow experienced that first hand

dim minnow
#

fun fact, the whip crack from the weapon is canon

sick yew
#

It better be

slim girder
dim minnow
#

meaning that all other sound effects from weapons are canon

sick yew
sick yew
#

Yeah sure whatever

#

I take the yeehaw noise from my dmt being canon

dim minnow
sick yew
#

🤠

slim girder
#

Ikora has a busted deadpan delivery that doesn't even need pumping lol

sick yew
#

Cause hes well trained

#

Ikora is just a cheater

dim minnow
#

in the cutscene where he exits the Infinite Forest back in Dawn

sick yew
#

one handing shotguns looks stupid anyway

sick yew
slim girder
sick yew
#

Again I dont see why you would one hand a shotgun anyway

small quartz
#

why tf they let whats her name fly

#

Whats her name

#

Blonde Lady

slim girder
#

Same reason people sometimes hold guns sideways or fan fire with revolvers It looks cool and you aren't going for accuracy. You're trying to spray shots so whatever is around you tries to hide instead of shooting back

small quartz
#

Shes with cayde in this gif

sick yew
#

Amanda

dim minnow
#

Amanda Holliday

small quartz
#

Right

dim minnow
#

she's a highly skilled pilot

small quartz
#

bruh

sick yew
slim girder
#

Like best in the tower level if skilled

small quartz
#

I get that but 😭 isnt she lightless

dim minnow
#

so?

small quartz
#

idk

#

Big Gamble

#

also she can come back to life one day
interesting to think about

sick yew
#

Realistically the best pilot in the system couldnt even glance at a proper Cabal outpost without being blown to bits but this is a video game

sick yew
dim minnow
small quartz
#

I wish D2 had like

#

Spaceflight

sick yew
#

Why

small quartz
#

that'd be so cool

dim minnow
#
  1. Amanda is just that skilled
  2. Cabal are just that [redacted]
slim girder
# small quartz Big Gamble

She explained it pretty well at one point.
She knows she's lightless but in her ship she's just as powerful as any other guardian.

small quartz
#

"SPAAAAAAAAACE!"

sick yew
small quartz
#

Spaceflight is super cool and it could make for a few interesting missions
Bungie has done it before

sick yew
#

They havent?

dim minnow
small quartz
#

... did Bungie do reach?

sick yew
#

Oh Halo

small quartz
#

Yeah they did

sick yew
#

Forgot about those

#

Meh

small quartz
#

ARMORLOCKARMORLOCKARMORLOCK

sick yew
#

Also id be like impossible to implement into Destiny

#

With so insanely many different ships

small quartz
#

meh

#

Imagine living quarters

#

in your ship

sick yew
#

Yes

#

The living quarters in this one will go crazy

dim minnow
small quartz
#

I can fly this

small quartz
#

PLEASE BUNGIE

slim girder
#

Destiny just isn't that kind of game unfortunately. The best we'll get is cutscenes with our ship

dim minnow
#

I like to imagine that the inside of Radiant Accipiter is kind of like a pocket dimension of sorts

small quartz
#

i owe so much money to the insurance company

dim minnow
#

since the ship itself is paracausal

sick yew
small quartz
#

okay how tf do people Imbue light into guns bruh

dim minnow
#

I man again, really good piloting

sick yew
#

Or the Red Legions attack back in Vanilla

#

Eh

slim girder
sick yew
#

Dumb luck

slim girder
#

Lemme try and find it

small quartz
#

Crow needs to hit the Los Santos barbers my guy

sick yew
#

Final Shape I think

dim minnow
#

wasn't it in one of the Lost Ghost quests?

sick yew
#

Or that

slim girder
#

Nah

#

Something else I think

sick yew
#

I do recall him talking about the ship during the FS campaign or post campaign

slim girder
#

This was before FS

dim minnow
#

I know he said something about how while it is his ship he lets us use it whenever

sick yew
small quartz
#

REALLY

#

How do companies do it

sick yew
#

Once youve learned how to use the light you can do a lot of stuff with it

dim minnow
sick yew
small quartz
#

How does Omolon do it

sick yew
#

They dont?

small quartz
#

... I dont follow

#

How do the companies make the guns utilise light

dim minnow
#

I mean, Light can be quantified with the right instruments

sick yew
#

I dont think Omolon ever produced guns that utilise light

dim minnow
#

Hard Light?

small quartz
#

You know what I mean 😦

sick yew
dim minnow
#

Tlaloc might since its perk lets it change damage type

dim minnow
sick yew
#

I got a gun called escape velocity

#

And I havent left the planet shooting that thing yet

small quartz
#

huh

dim minnow
#

according to the weapon's grimoire card in D1, a THanatonaut did help in creating it

small quartz
#

Hard Light got a 97% 😭

dim minnow
#

and it has been stated a few times here before that the Last City walls are pumped with Paracausal energy via pipes

slim girder
dim minnow
#

There is no true cockpit inside the Radiant Accipiter; the ship's canopy projects an image to the pilot. No frame, no obstructions, just the infinite gulf. Crow stares up at the blackness between a cluster of stars he can't identify; he wishes he were there. Where nothing is known, where everything can be new again.
