Damnit people keep making threads about this before I'm done with mine! Whatever I'll just scrap it and piggyback onto yours. Look at Rasputin and then look at [url=http://www.williamhenry.net/gentle14.jpg]this[/url] picture of a Seraphim. Hmm... Rasputin looks like a Sraphim and is in the Seraphim vault... [spoiler]The Warminds are the Seven Seraphs[/spoiler] Either that or the faction acts as a Knights Templar sort of order that protects them. If that's the case then I bet the Exo Stranger we see in an early cutscene and also in some of the videos that have been released is a part of it. Now that leaves one Faction left undiscovered. Osiris. I have two ideas on this front. Either [spoiler]Rasputin does indeed go rampant and is [b][i]reborn[/i][/b] as Osiris[/spoiler] or [spoiler]Osiris is one of the seven Warminds[/spoiler] I think it is important to note that the ramblings of Rasputin that were translated are especially interesting to anyone who has read Childhoods End, a book that is known to have been an inspiration for the story of Destiny. I will not explain it all here, but please read the book and if anyone wants to talk about it then I'll be glad to discuss it. On the topic of Charlemagne and Joyeuse I think that Charlemagne is the Warmind and Joyeuse will be some sort of weapon or device crucial to the war against the Darkness. From Wikipedia: [quote]Joyeuse was allegedly lost in a battle and retrieved by one of the knights of Charlemagne[/quote] I believe our character will be the knight which acts out this legend. Lastly to tie in with us as knights and The Warminds as the Seven Seraphs reading a little bit about Judeo-Christian Cosmology reveals that there were seven Seraphs which guarded the throne of God. [quote] The seraphim cry continually to each other, "Holy, holy, holy, is YHWH of hosts: the whole earth is full of His glory."[/quote] This chant of thrice holy is known as The Trisagion. Making a bit of a leap because I'm tired of typing, [b]WE[/b] are the embodiment of The Trisagion. We are literally Guardian Angels, wielding the light of our God to protect humanity from The Darkness. I have more but too much of it was already discussed in previous threads or requires a lot more speculation that I don't think really means anything yet. Hope you've enjoyed this.
