Can someone explain the Vault of Glass lore to me?

I don't know much of anything about the lore in destiny, but I am interested. Specifically I'd like to know what's actually going on during the raid. I know what to do but the game does a poor job of explaining why we're doing it. • How did the Vault of Glass get there and what is its purpose? • What is the spire at the beginning? • Why are the Vex sacrificing themselves to the confluxes? What is that achieving? • What exactly is the ritual of negation? • What are the oracles? What's their job? How and why to they mark you for negation? • Who is the Templar and what's his role? • How was the relic created and what does it actually do? • Who are the Gorgons and what happens to you that causes death when they see you? • What's with that center conflux in the throne room at the gatekeeper? Why do you have to start defending it? • Why are there precursors when you get to the throne room? And who are they? • Why are there 2 separate relics in the gatekeeper section? • Where and [b][u]why[/u][/b] does Atheon teleport you? I know it's past and future, but how do we know? And where exactly is it? Are they past and future versions of the throne room? • Why do oracles spawn in these other dimensions? • What is "Time's Vengeance". Why does it give you a buff and what causes your team to get the buff? • Why do you go blind in the other dimensions? • What are the supplicants? • Who is Aethon and what exactly is his role in the Vex? I know this is a lot lol but I'm very curious and I know none of these things. Let's discuss it. Edit: [i]Thanks so much for all the replies! You guys are awesome and I've already learned quite a bit![/i]

  • -cracks knuckles- Let's do this • How did the Vault of Glass get there and what is its purpose? It is a time loop on venus after the Tera forming by the traveller. It exists for the sole reason of creating atheon who loops back to form the vault which exists to form himself. There actually is science behind it... mind melting wtf am I smoking science... but science • What is the spire at the beginning? The spire is a key. The light acts enteracts to build the key. When the Vex take over a pad they halt the interaction causing the key to stop building. • Why are the Vex sacrificing themselves to the confluxes? What is that achieving? Law of equal exchange. For every action there is an opposite and equal reaction. By sacrificing to the confluxes they are charging them to kill us. It doesn't work when they are killed because they have to willingly do it themselves. • What exactly is the ritual of negation? The Vex exist outside of the confines of time and reality, being able to cross time streams for example. The ritual of negation is them simple deciding that you no longer exist in THIS time stream and banishing ypu to another. • What are the oracles? What's their job? How and why to they mark you for negation? Oracles are the ones that control the essence of the time stream hopping. They don't exist in anyone time stream but can be forced out of one by physical trauma. As for how and why see above. • Who is the Templar and what's his role? Think of a security gaurd cause that's about it. • How was the relic created and what does it actually do? The relic was forged from Kabrs light as he was absorbed into the Vex which causes disruptions to their perception to the control of the fabric of reality. Basicly it is a pocket of stasis time and light that overrules the will of the Vex collective. • Who are the Gorgons and what happens to you that causes death when they see you? Basicly more vessels for the power of negation. However these are tied to this specific time steam. Some would argue this means they would never die, however this would actually create a butterfly effect that the current time stream would have to realize and correct. • What's with that center conflux in the throne room at the gatekeeper? Why do you have to start defending it? Again, just another key. Except this one is rigged with security. Bypass the. Gaurds that try to activate the security and your in. • Why are there precursors when you get to the throne room? And who are they? Precursors are actually the future vex. But because of the time loop they exist right now because the descendents which are the previous vex don't yet exist. YAY MIND MELTING TIME LOOPS!!! • Why are there 2 separate relics in the gatekeeper section? When making the relic he forged it in all of the existence of the vault. Past and future are there because the present was used by those who escaped to we'll escape. • Where and [b][u]why[/u][/b] does Atheon teleport you? I know it's past and future, but how do we know? And where exactly is it? Are they past and future versions of the throne room? It is the past and present of the throne room. He teleports yoy there because in this time stream the oracles reside in both past and present but not the current.and you can tell by the design of the rooms. • Why do oracles spawn in these other dimensions? Not a different dimension, just another period of time. Hence why they spawn at the same pace in the same spot every time. • What is "Time's Vengeance". Why does it give you a buff and what causes your team to get the buff? Remnant of Kabrs light that is awakened when you damage the Vex collective time stream. • Why do you go blind in the other dimensions? Because yoy do not exist at those times. Think of back to the future. He will cease to exist if he does not fx the fault in time because he does not exist. But when he goes to the future he doesn't because he still is alive. Same concept. • What are the supplicants? Atheon strapped proximity explosives to his personal gaurds. I can't explain that any other way. • Who is Aethon and what exactly is his role in the Vex? Aethon is the constructor of the vault which exists to build him which exists to build the vault which exists.... TIME LOOP!!!!
