It truly is and seeing you enjoy is really awesome. Not sure if it would fit in your lore journey anytime soon but the story behind the briefly mentioned Iron lord Felwinter is a gem in itself. Byf naturally has a video for it around 40 ish minutes and his story that ties closely together with the Warmind Rasputin is truly fascinating and we'll written. Not a necessity on your journey but a personal recommendation I think others would agree with as a fun video reaction 😄

Additional comment, at 2:17:38 when Byf mentioned the whole "being removed from time entirely" thing that the Vex in the Vault of Glass can do, it's a running theory that rather than there only being 3 guardians that tried to take on the Vault of Glass, it actually was a proper 6-man Raid team like all other raids go; but the theory is that the other 3 members were erased from time by the Vex, and so, we only know of "the three" that tried to assail the Vault.

The weapon is called Touch of Malice. Oryx isn't the only one who decided it was a good idea - one of the actual Worm Gods decided that the player characters were the ones who truly embodied Sword Logic (Because... if you think about it... they sort of mercilessly slaughter millions. And can't die.) and became the gun, Whisper of the Worm. You can see a Worm God in the Vow of the Disciple raid, I'm sure there are a lot of pictures of it you could find easily, if you want to check out the full size/appearance of one.

Mara was quite literally the only one cunning enough to use an ahamkara's power without incurring the monkey's paw effect. In the Last Wish raid of Destiny 2 you have to kill Riven as she was Taken by Oryx at one point. At the beginning of the raid you can find a wall of symbols. Shooting the symbols changes them. This is the Wall of Wishes and through these many symbol combinations, Mara could make such incredibly specific wishes that Riven could not twist. You can use this wall yourself in the Raid. There are 15 in total but we've only figured out 14. The 15th is still a mystery to this day. Most of the wishes are silly things like summoning certain characters to speak to you during the raid, making enemy's heads explode into confetti like the old Halo easter egg, but some of them allow you to skip straight to specific encounters in the raid. You can skip straight to Riven if you wanted but of course you skip out on the rewards from previous encounters as well.

I like the drifters dark age story. Dark Age was different times. We had no City. Warlords and Iron Lords tore up the whole world tryin' to prove who was better, what was worth fighting for. I was busy tryin' not to starve. You ever go hungry 'til you keeled over? We did that a lot in the Dark Age. Our Ghosts would bring us back - still hungry. Really pissed me off. This one time I found a village to hide out in. Bunch of huts, really. Good people. They gave me work, and I kept my Light a secret while I performed some minor miracles. Then the Iron Lords rolled into town. My Ghost stayed outta sight, and they were none the wiser. They cut a deal with us (as if we had a choice) - paid us to let them hide out 'til some Warlords showed up. Then ambushed 'em. But we all got caught in the crossfire. My neighbor's kid told me something that still bounces 'round my head to this day. Right before the light went out in her tiny eyes, she whispered, "I can't feel anything." Yeah. I couldn't either.

Example: When Oryx the Taken King destroyed the Awoken fleet in the DLC "Taken king," he went to the Dreaming city and found/spoke with "Riven" the last Ahamkara. Oryx: Can I TAKE you? Riven: As long as you wish it. And so Riven was taken.

And there's another part where Oryx states his love for his sisters even after they've made multiple attempts to steal the tablets of ruin from him

ALLLL of the entirety of this videos lore is slowly uncovered BACKWARDS. Various notations of lore, lore books, voice lines, IMpossibly annoying and long Exotic weapon questlines that let you read some of the narrations from these older characters. Youre just a guardian. No better than some of the warlords of light at the start of the travelers last gift. FIghting in the crucible reporting to Lord Shaxx every week, taking vanguard missions and even trying your hand at becoming an iron lord when the Iron banner is available and Saladin himself giving words of determined encouragement. THis game really does come to life. Knowing the depths of the choices made from all the factions. listening to Mara and her insane immeasurable ego. SO many asepcts of it come together to weave a world around your character thats soo much bigger than you instead of telling you that youre the only hope. You only get to be that if you prove youre worthy of it. THe entire solar system ahs come to an end already, multiple times practically and were still here. Fighting the darkness by any means necesary.

One thing that’s always remained is my absolute fascination with the lore and world of Destiny. Even during the D1 days where you had to go on a website to read grimoire cards to understand the story, I still found it so intriguing. One of my favorite things Destiny does is the flavor text you find on gear and items. Like the Dark Souls games, the flavor text helps give context to the world of Destiny. Sometimes it’s funny, sometimes it’s poignant, but it’s always more interesting than simply being an explanation of what the item is and what it does. Some of my favorites are: "If there is beauty in destruction, why not also in its delivery?" - Feizel Crux "YOU WILL DREAM OF TEETH AND NOTHING ELSE" -scratched behind a buckle “When the lake used to freeze, people would dance on the ice wearing boots with tiny swords. And fall in love.” “One day the Last City will be known as the First City.” And my personal favorite: "In that last moment she seemed as wholly luminescent as the Sun, and I wished to be so brave." I’m not sure exactly where it’s stated but this is apparently Erianna-3 referring to the death of her lover, Wei Ning, at the battle of Mare Imbrium.

I hope we get to explore the Distributary in the next saga, as things may have changed greatly since then. Or perhaps, they’d already had been destroyed by the Witness and it’s Black Fleet. For even an anomaly in space seems within the Witness’ grasp to breach and destroy.

Unfortunately, simply telling people not to make wishes with the Ahamkara would not have worked at all for two main reasons. One, The Ahamkara are crafty and manipulative, they can read minds and shape-shift so even if people at first don’t want to make wishes, it is very common for the Ahamkara to psychologically torment people until the give in, think constant visions of a deceased lover whispering in the back of your head to bring her back. The second big issue though is that wishes through Ahamkara do not have to be explicitly stated. Ahamkara can make pacts with people without those people ever even knowing that they made a wish or spoke to an Ahamkara.

To, having to start a long 30 part quest following that particular tidbit of lore, For example, erianas vow is a giant fuck off Handcannon you can use. And hunters get an exotic peice of gear called the claws of ahamkara. On the side of erianas vow, theres a hive insignia carved into the barrel. Its special trait is that it shoots through barrier. Something to note is Hive have a mob called a Knight, and they constantly throw up a wall of pure darkness in front of them and heal behind it. Erianas vow shoots through it.

The lore of Destiny really starts way before the Books of Sorrow, the Gardener and Winnower's Flower Game (Light and Darkness respectively) dates back to before the normal laws of nature as we know them came into being. Of course, that account is told to us (agents of the Light) by the Winnower himself with the express purpose of trying to sway us to his side, so like the Books you might serve well to take it with caution. However, I believe it personally since by the rules he lays out he has little to no motivation to lie to us.

Everyone else is recommending more Byf videos, which is great if you want some analysis, but if you're ever interested in just cold reads of lore cards, I recommend DarrenBaron. You guys would love the actual reading of the Books of Sorrow themselves since you seemed to enjoy Byf's re-telling. They're quite well written!

might i recommend dynasty, also by byf (as well as a bunch of collaborators)? it covers a lot of the same content of the books of sorrow but is animated and really well done.

19:55 All parents want what's best for their children, no? Well, the Sword Logic states that only the strongest have the right to exist, so what better way to strengthen your children then to show them strength firsthand, especially when you all have throne worlds ensuring that you can never truly die.

Good lore. Tough to find complete narration. In spite of Byf's best & very respectable efforts, I cringe every now and then. Many big words are being used, and they don't always form a beautiful symphony.

You gotta listen to Last word vs Thorn lore by byf!

How has your perspective of the Destiny 1 story + expansions changed since knowing some of the background lore of Destiny? I think you should go on to Destiny 2 and the first 2 expansions and then maybe you could watch the lore video of Destiny 1. Once Destiny 2 introduced Seasonal content, you can think of the expansions as the A plot and the seasonal content as the B plot. Not all seasons are driving the overall story forward and some seasons are way more important than others. Some of the more recent seasons over this past year have been really good. I can't wait to see your reactions, if you guys keep going, to some of the things in Destiny 2 in the later years; you'll be shocked like many players like me.

D1 lore was so good. D2 lore after Forsaken became corrupted by Disney type writing despite being told more upfront, where bad things are not really that bad and nothing has emotional weight or compelling narratives whatsoever. This video was before Lightfall, and whereas Witch Queen was our first ray of hope in D2 narrative after years, Lightfall was possibly the worst followup conceivable to the point Sony is holding an axe over them. I should add SIVA is possibly our favorite storyline, with everything it added including fighting a mutation of a race that never came back. Taken King and Forsaken storyline tie high as well, but it might be because SIVA never resurged that we to this day yearn for it back. The mystery of Felwinter is deeply explained later in D2, and this might be why the video does not go into too much detail into the Iron Lords and Rasputin, as a lot of holes are filled in D2 books that add a tremendous amount of lore.

Hey Ken and Bethany, I love your reactions and takes on different gaming related lore. You guys should check out The Combined Timeline of Portal and Half-life by Skyrionn. It's kind of a long watch, but it's very compelling and the games are made by Valve, the same creators of Team Fortress 2 and Left 4 Dead.

To explain the dragons and their wishes! They tempt anyone near them and takeover and influence them, they aren't just innocent animals but more sinister creatures, Even their remains whisper and tempt anyone near them.

They've seen at least the reveal trailer thanks to a compilation of Gamescom 2022 reveals, I think.
