After great deliberation it was determined that the Ahamkara be made extinct.
It was not an easy decision.
Power had been obtained from the bargains, and the City needed power.
Knowledge had been gleaned, and the Ahamkara knew answers to questions no one had known
to ask.
But the price was too high.
And no edict or forbearance seemed to stop Guardians from seeking them out, driven by
hope, or vengeance, or despair.
The call had to be silenced.
So the Great Hunt did its work.
And thus the Ahamkara were made extinct, their call silenced, their solipsistic flatteries
erased, their great design - if it ever existed - broken.
Of this you can be assured, oh reader mine.
Welcome back Guardians.
Today we are discussing 50 mysteries of Destiny, lore topics that we still do not have the
full answer to.
This video originally started off as the top 5 mysteries of Destiny, however it was just
too difficult to narrow down to a top 5 list, so I just included every mystery I could think
of.
I also had help from a number of other lore masters in the community, including AnonPig
and Mythos Mike from Destiny Lore Cast, BlueCrew from Focus Fire Chat podcast, Purplechimera
and Baxter from Ishtar Collective (the database I use for all my research), Captain Kex from
the LORG chart (which is a visual representation of the grimoire cards and their connections
with each other) and Beard Grizzly who you will know from my previous videos.
Links to their respective podcasts, websites and/or channels are below.
I have sorted this top 50 list into 5 different categories: The first being "Identity",
this topic includes anything that involves understanding someone's identity, for example,
who is the Exo Stranger?
The second category is "where are they now?"
any topic that involves trying to understand the whereabouts of certain characters or creatures
in Destiny e.g.
Where is Oryx's sister, Savathun?
The third category is "But why?!"
topics that make you go, why!
E.g.
Why has Rasputin not reactivated his population protection protocols?!
The fourth category is "What the…", things that make you go what the fff.frick,
for example, "What are those giant skeletons on the moon?", the fifth and final category
is Campaign essentials, topics that I consider to be essential to the campaign of Destiny,
you probably could argue everything in this video is essential to the campaign, however
these topics felt more generalised and did not suit the other categories.
Of course, I am sure I have missed some topics, so feel free to add corrections in the comments
and the description contains the full list of the 50 mysteries of destiny if you need
to double check anything.
Lastly, the artwork at the beginning of this video was created by Brandon McCamey, if you
would like to win this artwork as a poster please join me live on Twitch, I will be doing
a giveaway right now, I go live on twitch 10 minutes after I release a video on youtube.
This is myelin games and I hope you enjoy this latest Destiny Lore episode.
[INTRO] Let's start with the first category, Identity,
and in no specific order.
1.
ccNumber one.
Who is the Wizard inside the crystal in the PvP map the Dungeons?
This has been a prominent question on my channel more recently and the identity of this wizard
is still unknown.
She is encapsulated in a crystal, and although not identical it is similar to the crystal
holding Crota's soul seen in the mission the Wakening.
The crystal in the wakening is involved with connecting and transferring Crota from his
netherworld to our reality.
If this Crystal functions in the same way, it may imply that this wizard's soul has
been captured and stored in the Dungeon.
2.
Number Two.
Who is the Exo Stranger?
The true identity of the Exo Stranger remains a mystery, however my best guess and speculation,
is that the Exo Stranger is the Vex researcher Maya Sundaresh.
I also believe Maya Sundaresh was unknowingly the founder of Future War Cult and began the
early development on the Future War Cult device that sends subjects insane with visions of
the future.
Maya Sundaresh is also the researcher that Cayde-6 fell in love with.
3.
Number three.
On the topic of the Exo Stranger?
Who is the Exo stranger speaking with in the mission a "Stranger's Call", you know,
when she does not have time explain why she does not have time to explain.
4.
Number four.
Who is Nokris?
Yes, the statue outside of the Altar of Oryx, which is the final boss room in the campaign
for the Taken King.
Our only clue is that it is a Hive God, however no evidence exists within the World's Grave
files, which are basically the archives for the Hive.
My best guess is that this Hive God may have encountered the Vex, the Vex have the ability
to erase names from history, so maybe this Hive God has been erased.
5.
Number 5.
Who is the Speaker?
The Speaker's true identity has never been revealed, with the grimoire card saying, "There
has always been a Speakers, an anonymous high priest with a mysterious and powerful connection
to the Traveler and its Ghosts."
I always like to think that the Speaker is Commander Jacob Hardy, the first human to
ever make contact with the Traveler on the Mars Expedition.
6.
Number 6.
Speaking of the Speaker.
Is Saint-14 the Speaker's son?
In the Legend: Saint-14 grimoire card the Speaker refers to Saint-14 as his son, and
Saint-14 refers to the speaker as his Father, however is this metaphoric due to the speaker
being described as a priest, or is Saint-14 really the Speaker's son.
7.
Number 7.
Who is Alpha Lupi?
There is a string of grimoire cards that refer to the Dreams of Alpha Lupi, whilst the cards
seem to describe the Traveler, Alpha Lupi may not necessarily be the Traveler it could
be someone dreaming of the Traveler.
8.
Number 8.
Who is Dredgen Yor?
Dredgen Yor's true identity has been removed from the grimoire cards and although the Legends
and Mysteries: Rezyl Azzir grimoire card is highly suggestive of Rezyl Azzir being Dredgen
Yor, due to his encounter with the Wizard, Xyor, Yor's identity has never been truly
confirmed.
Lets move onto category two, "Where are they now?"
9.
Number 9, the Ahamkara.
The Ahmakara are described as Dragons in the Ghost Fragment: the warlock card and have
thought to be made extinct after the Great Ahamkara Hunt.
However the question still remains, do any Ahamkara still exist and if so, where are
they?
10.
Number 10.
Where is Queen of the Reef, Mara Sov.
Mara Sov was thought dead following the opening scene of the Taking King as the Awoken sieged
the dreadnaught, however during a livestream, Bungie would later reveal that the Queen is
still alive.
Her current location is still unknown?
11.
Number 11.
Where is Lysander?
With the Dawning Event, a new grimoire card was released, Lysander's Cry which indicates
that Lysander is rallying support outside of the City Walls.
Lysander previously led the Faction Concordat and sort to remove the consensus and the speaker.
12.
Number 12.
Where does Efrideet go, when she is not hosting the Iron Banner?
We know that Efideet has joined a group of guardians who do not use light for combat,
however their location remains unknown.
13.
Number 13.
Savathun.
Savathun is Oryx's sister, she is still alive and was last seen in the Books of Sorrow
sailing her throne world away from Oryx in order to grow different.
14.
Likelise.
Number 14.
Xivu Arath, oryx's other sister is also unaccounted for.
I believe the missing Hive gods likely will become Hive DLCs in the future.
15.
Number 15, where is Taox?
Taox is described as the teacher to the children of the Osmium Throne.
The children of the Osmium throne would become the Hive gods Oryx, Savathun and Xivu Arath.
Taox betrayed the Osmium King, Oryx's dad, when they were still trapped on the planet
the Fundament.
Taox made a number of appearances in the Books of Sorrow and Oryx's duty was to kill this
traitor.
To our knowledge Taox never formed the symbiotic bond with the worms and should have died long
ago, however her death was never confirmed and previously she was frozen in stasis.
It is possible that Taox is still alive and her whereabouts unknown.
16.
Number 16.
Where are the Nine Located?
We know that they are likely near the Jovian Colonies and we know that the Queen is aware
of their location, as she sent them Skolas, however their exact location has not yet been
revealed to Guardians.
17.
Number 17.
Where is Toland?
Toland is presumed to be in the Hive netherworld, but his presence there is still extremely
cryptic.
18.
Number 18.
Where is Osiris?
He is thought to be in the Vex Gate network, however his whereabouts is unknown, Saint-14,
the Speaker and Toland are all interested in finding and making contact with Osiris.
19.
Number 19.
Speaking of Saint-14… where is he?
The last correspondence with Saint-14 was just after Saint-14 crushed the skull of a
kell with a headbut and called the Speaker, only to tell the Speaker that he is travelling
to Mercury to pursue Osiris.
20.
Number 20.
Where is Prince Uldren, The Queen's Brother?
Despite the majority of the Awoken fleet being destroyed by Oryx, Prince Uldren escaped and
crash landed on Mars as described in the Aftermarth grimoire card.
However, Prince Uldren has not made any further contact since that time and remains hidden.
21.
Number 21.
Where is the submind who carried SIVA into Deep space?
Ghost Fragment: Old Russia 4 describes a sub mind, which controls a ship that was previously
used for colonisation, however it now contains SIVA.
The ship makes a journey into space carrying SIVA, a journey that is described as nine
billion miles away.
22.
Number 22.
Where is the Deep Stone Cyrpt?
The Deep Stone Crypt is described as the birth place of the Exo's, where the infamous subroutine
seeded the first Exo Consciousness.
Let's move onto the third category, "But why!?
23.
Number 23.
Why did Efrideet leave the Iron lords?
Efrideet left the Iron lords to join a group of pacifist guardians, however why she left
is unknown.
I do believe she left before the Iron Lords faced SIVA in the SIVA replication complex.
All we know is that she remained so quite that she was presumed dead until she returned.ef
24.
Number 24.
Why doesn't Rasputin reactivate his population protection protocols?
Rasputin once protected humanity, however now he remains mysteriously quite and Ghost
Fragment Rasputin 6 confirms that he has not reactivated his population protection objectives,
meaning he is not necessarily defending humanity anymore.
25.
Number 25.
Why were Exo's created?
The Exo grimoire card says that the Exos were built for a "long-forgotten struggle…
that their origins and purpose was lost to time and that, what threatened the Golden
age so much that they constructed the Exos to defend themselves!
26.
Number 26.
ON the topic of Exos, why are their memories wiped?
The number at the end of the Exo name represents the number of times their memories have been
wiped.
27.
Number 27.
Xur collects his own currency… why?
What are the motives of Xur and the Nine 28.
Number 28.
Why is Lord Shaxx and Lord Saladin angry with each other.
Ever since the battle of twilight gap, their relationship has been described as strained.
However it has never been confirmed what exactly caused this.
Let's move onto "What the…" 29.
Number 29.
What is Nastareth?
In the prison of elders, Petra Venji is instructing two "researchers" and I use the term researchers
lightly, who are conducted a mind scan on Sylok the defiled.
They probe his mind and appear to torture him by probing the area of his mind associated
with pain and trauma, however Sylok relishes in the pain saying "glorious pain!!!
Blessseedddd is the Nastareth!!".
This is the first and only mention of the word Nastareth.
30.
Number 30.
The giant skeletons on the moon… what are they?
The ghost fragment: ocean of storms 2 card may describe theses bones, it reads, " long
rib cage, the size of an aircraft fuselage.
The living creatures themselves, we found a hundred meters down.
They might have been worms, if worms had scales and teeth and moved more quickly than a man
could run."
When you scan the bones, your ghost says, "No one knows if bones like these belong
to a Hive life form or some other race the Hive discovered, but Toland seemed to think
they burrowed through the lunar rock to create this fortress."
31.
Number 31.
What are the motives of Toland?!
In the messages from Toland, it appears that Toland agrees with Oryx's philosophy and
is almost angry with guardians for not replacing the Hive king and leaving a power vacuum.
32.
Number 32.
What was Felwinter's Lie?
Felwinter's lie has never been confirmed, however the possibilities may include, killing
the warlord Citan whilst under parley, wearing Hunter armour, using multiple class abilities
or Felwinter's conversation with Rasputin.
33.
Number 33.
The Queen's Harbingers.
The harbingers are the weapons the queen used during the reef wars and also against Oryx's
ship the Dreadnaught.
The harbingers are somewhat described as alive in the Coven grimoire card, they are describe
as Harbinger Minds, who could sense communication between the techeuns and they even have an
age.
The exact nature of the Harbingers is unknown.
34.
Number 34.
What happened to the remaining Harbinger?
The Queen and her techeuns are planning the attack on the dreadnaught and they plan to
use all of the Harbinger weapons except one.
The Card reads, "So now the decision is nigh.
The Harbingers, which to prepare?"
Shuro was determined to see this all through.
Excitement was taught to be kept at bay.
"We cannot send them all."
Portia reminded.
"All but one, the oldest.
It stays with us.
Sedia, Kalli, Shuro, take the children, tell her they are to be planted into a dead thing
to have children of their own."
35.
Number 35.
the Speaker's Mask!!
What power does the Speaker's Mask hold, it is referred to in the grimoire as the Legendary
Speaker's Mask, the day the Speaker's Mask is removed, his identity revealed and
the power of the mask demonstrated, I have feeling will not be for some time.
The last topic is campaign essentials.
36.
Number 36, What is the Light?
We understand that the Traveler is an agent of the Light and the Oryx is an agent of the
Deep/Darkness.
But what exactly is the light is unknown.
After constructing the Tablets of Ruin, Oryx has a conversation with the Deep/the Darkness
itself, however we have never seen such interaction from the light.
37.
Number 37.
What is the Darkness?
Whilst Oryx has intereacted directly with the Deep/the Darknesss, our understanding
to what exactly it is, is still very limited.
38.
Number 38.What actually happened during the collapse?
The collapse is constantly mentioned but the events that actually unfolded is very vague.
39.
Number 39.
Similarly, what happened during the Whirldwind, the Fallen's version of collapse, which
followed their own golden age with the traveler.
40.
Number 40.
Following the collapse, how were the Awoken created?
It is said that Awoken came from those fleeing earth following the collapse and something
happened to them in space.
The exact nature of what created the Awoken is unknown.
41.
Number 41.
What is the relationship between the Fallen, SIVA and Rasputin?
Rasputin controlled SIVA at one stage, and even though the Fallen use SIVA it is debatable
to whether they truly control it.
42.
Number 42.
Are we really in a Vex simulation?
The researchers, Dr Shim, Maya Sundaresh, Chioma Esi and Duane McNiad predicted that
they could be in a vex simulation after experimenting on a Vex mind, they predicted that if they
could contact Rasputin they could prove their reality, as they hypothesized that the Vex
could not simulate a warmind.
However, the researches made an assumption that the Vex could not simulate rasputin..
what if they were wrong?
43.
Number 43.
Who is currently controlling the Taken?
In the new Omnigul strike mission Ikora Rey describes that the Hive leadership has filtered
down and that a new entity is directing the Taken, however who this is, we do not know,
and whether they can create new taken enemies or just use resources already available is
also unknown.
44.
Number 44.
Rasputin is referred to as the Last Warmind, however we know that Charlemagne existed at
same point.
During the Alpha an area was called Charlemagne's vault and apparently the original storyline
had as find Thorn in Charlemagne's vault.
I know of only two references to Charlemagne, the first is in the new Gjallarhorn quest
line on Bannerfall, where the notes of Fiezel crux mentions a type of rocket launcher called
Charlemange.
The other mention is in the sleeper simulant quest line and when you are completing the
quest, an upgrade node refers to Charlemagne.
Where are the other warminds and do they still exist?
45.
Number 45.
What exactly is the Heart at the Black Garden?!
We know that the Vex worship it, however we don't really know what the heart is.
My theory is that the Black Garden and the worshipping Vex stem from the Books of Sorrow,
in the Books of Sorrow the Vex tried to simulate Oryx, however they could not simulate Oryx
because he was too powerful due to his symbiotic relationship with worms.
Consequently, the Vex began studying the worms, however they never introduced the worms to
their fluid but rather began a religious sect to worship them.
I think the Heart of the Black Garden could be an aspect of the worms, and the Vex trying
to extract the power of the worms through worship.
46.
Number 46.
Where is the Cabal Home planet?
Does it still exist?
Are the Cabal fleeing something?
Game Informer confirmed that the current theory is that the Cabal encountered Oryx and are
fleeing.
However, this has never been confirmed in game.
Some grimoire cards hint that the Cabal home world has been destroyed and also in game
dialogue indicates that the Cabal Empire may still be alive, as the Cabal send messages
to their leader.
However, for the most part, the Cabal backstory is largely unknown.
47.
Number 47.
House of Kings?
The fallen House of Kings have remained eerily silent and mysterious.
They are said to have controlled the House of Devils from the Shadows.
The question remains do they still control the House of Devils, or did the Devils break
free after using SIVA??
Or do the House of Kings still plot to take the Traveler from humanity.
48.
Number 48.
Destiny's timeline…
The exact date and time periods of each age is unknown, how long did the dark age last
for, how long did the city age last for, many have put together rough estimates of the Destiny
timeline, however for the most part it is still unknown, with you ghost only consistently
saying it has been centuries.
49.
Number 49.
Why did the Nine release Skolas?
After the Queen of the Reef, Mara Sov captured Skolas, Prince Uldren's crows were caught
poking about the Jovians, and the Nine did not approve.
As an apology gift, Queen Mara Sov sent the Nine Skolas as a gift.
Upon arriving at his Destination, Xur Agent of the Nine released Skolas.
Why the Nine did this, we do not know.
50.
Number 50.
Lastly…
Why has the Traveler not awoken!?
During the campaign mission we return light and strength to the traveler by retrieving
a shard of the Traveler from the Hive and also destroying the Black Garden…however
the Traveler remains silent and crippled.
I have a feeling that the traveler waking will not happen until a very long time in
destinys life cycle Thank you for listening, that concludes my
top 50 destiny mysteries, be sure to leave any corrections in the comments or you favourite
mystery that I forgot, otherwise if you want to support the channel, leave the phrase "Wake
up!!", to represent the sleeping traveler.
As usual, it has been a pleasure, this is myelin games.
Peace.
