Destiny lore is deceptively thin and disjointed at first glance. It is not curated, summarized, or directly presented to the audience like the vast majority of media. The whole thing is a massive puzzle meant for the community to figure out. Now this would sound like a cheap excuse for shoddy writing, with the one exception that is has continuity across all of the lore. There is a coherent underlying narrative that has been chopped up into pieces and scattered throughout the game. With effort we can decipher it, and we are.
