All of the Exotic Machine Guns are Tied to Tragedy
Before I start my lore post, I would like to say I have written some lore-related posts in the past, but am still fairly new to it. If you would like to see more of my lore posts, just hit the VTLore tag at the bottom and select the post you want.
Now, after that self-promotion, let's get started. So, I was looking for an interesting theory to make and started consulting the Exotic weapon grimoire. I landed in the heavy weapon section, and found something odd in each of the machine gun's grimoire. The following are excerpts from certain cards.
"...the truth may lie in the weapon's connection to the legendary Hunter Pahanin who witnessed the fall of Kabr, and became terrified of traveling alone."
~Super Good Advice
"They rest on quiet fields afar for this is no ending, but the eye."
~Thunderlord flavor text
"What is the answer, when the question is extinction?"
~Nemesis Star flavor text
"I am one with the flame. The conflagration reborn. I am your funeral pyre."
~Abbadon flavor text
"Before he died on the Moon, the titan who wielded the first Thunderlord created two variants of the mighty weapon..."
~Nova Mortis
Now, I used the flavor text of some of the weapons. That was because my resources were kind of scare. Bungie didn't give much info on Thunderlord or Nemesis star.
However, the flavor text gives us some insight into the weapons' past. For Abbadon, Nova Mortis, and Thunderlord, their story is explained in the Nova Mortis excerpt talking about how the Titan who made them was killed on the Moon.
Super Good Advice was the companion of Pahanin, who experienced the horrific fall of Kabr. You see where I'm going with this, right?
Nemesis Star took me a little bit to figure out. The flavor text has the foreboding word "extinction" so I had some hope. But making the theory just upon that soon fell flat. My explanation for how Nemesis Star is tied to tragedy was answered after re-reading the grimoire. The weapon foundry's name is Nadir, and the grimoire says "is their foundry's name... an expression of fatalism?"
Fatalism means "the acceptance of all things and events as inevitable; submission to fate." Nadir could be founded upon tragedy, and the name may reflect that.
I'm sure you readers will find some mistake I made. I wrote this up late into the night, but I feel like it is a plausible theory.
Thanks for reading, and I'll see you starside.
