Destiny Questions Thread #8 - Let's Talk About Destiny

It's been a little while since our last one, but the team is ready to take on your questions. In this, you can feel free to ask any questions about Destiny's lore and even it's production. We will answer to the best of our abilities. Mind you, much will be speculation based off of theories we've formed and will be labelled as such. However, if it's fact, we'll let you know too. And with that, fire away. I'll probably update this thread with links to other threads you may find interesting.

The same goes for the group members. I am just a community volunteer, but that's another topic all together.[/b] Edit: If you have theories or answers, share them!

  • In the duel between Jaren Ward and Dregden Yor, did Dregden Yor die? I'm presuming not as he fired his shot after Jaren shot his.

    • Hi Charlemagne, I am another of this lore obsessed junkies. I am curious about the relationship to the Vault of Glass and Black Garden. Despite the fact they are both displaced out of time and space but both seem to inhabit a physical location and relevant time based around the time that a Guardian has entered them. When you destroy the Black heart you are on Mars with the same physical surroundings, and same time frame as when you entered. The vault of glass has a portals to the past and future. Architecture shows that they would have both been created by the same force. Did the vex build the black garden? Or did the vex find the vault of glass? Despite similarities, they serve two drastic purposes. The Black Garden shows very religious action and worship towards the Dark Heart, yet the in the vault of glass, there is none of this worship. Lead by Atheon (godless) to incorporate themselves into the laws of reality. Are these two different sects of vex? Or was the creation (or inhabitation) of the vault in response to the dark hearts destruction? Or vice-versa? Obviously, do to vex time abilities, these can be acousal. Finally, in the past and future versions of the vault, it claims you are lost in the dark corners of time if you lose control of the portal plates. How can this be the case if you are still in the Vault of Glass. All time lines converge through Atheon in the Vault. So you shouldn't be lost. However, visually, the past and future show a desolate destroyed vault. It's apparent that these areas are outside of Atheon's influence, which means the vault does not exist in these regions of time. That would explain why he tried to hide the Aegis there. Yet, the locations seem to be anchored by the red oracles (which are clearly drastically different than the yellow ones built by the vex). Do you think the red oracles where built by another race? This caused the vex to build the vault of glass on that location because of the time influence of the red oracles? Then the vex tried to make their own versions inside the vault? Sorry if some things are unclear. I am on the mobile app.

                      Sorry if this post is messy, it's mostly a raw idea of mine. Here's my theory on the hive life cycle works, and by all means correct me if you think I'm wrong. (Would love refining this) Starting out, thralls hatch from eggs, and can either grow into an acolyte or are corrupted by a wizard to turn into an ogre. An acolyte seems to either grow into a wizard or a knight (thinking that they are like bees *hive* and female acolytes either through ritual or chance may become a wizard *queen* and lay eggs, like a queen bee. Or do some darkness sorcery, unlike a bee. No, I'm not ranking strength wise, it's based on body shape and how it might look in metamorphosis I would also like to know the ogre strength rituals and rites like unborn as I don't know them well

                      • Separate line of questions now. In the opening cutscene of Destiny, we see astronauts from "current day" landing in Mars, to presumably get the first look at the traveler. Now the traveler sits over earth, quiet and (damaged from fights? I can't remember the wording the speaker used). Was the traveler on Mars due to it having just entered our solar system and it was making its way towards earth?

                                  • I have a couple of odd questions apologies if they have already been asked and or answered Is there the potential of a link between the Traveler and the Vex that perhaps one created the other for an unknown purpose. Second question why do we assume that the Traveler is in fact acting for the betterment of humanity aside from the speakers vague power point presentation of hand picked facts we know next to nothing about its true intentions for humanity or earth for that matter so why do we the guardians and likely the remaining human population assume that our activities are the right course of action.. And lastly the Elinski where once like guardians what if their desire is not to claim or reclaim the Traveler but rather destroy it and the fallen enemies that we face in our solar system are simply a military force sent to hunt them down as i tend to think that there are more then one Traveler..

                                      • your take on the whole theory that centers around the fallen once being the travelers chosen species, only then to abandon them provoking they're hatred for humanity? also the whole dark traveler theory, the general point of that being the traveler has malicious intent of some sort? sorry for being vague but I'm sure you've seen some of the excellent/detailed posts on here regarding those theories.
