Throughout vanilla, the Dark Below, and the House of Wolves, dead Ghosts have been scattered across our planets containing information and historical data about our universe. On the Dreadnought though, where no Guardians had been before, Calcified Fragments hold the stories of the Hive legends and Oryx's own past. Well, we know that the Iron Lords set out into the Plaguelands, but all their Ghosts returned to the City.
Why?
Guardians have died because they were separated from their Ghosts, likely when the Ghost was drained of it's Light. But all the Iron Lords Ghosts returned intact.
Now, maybe other Guardians have been in the area before, and their Ghosts might be there. But why didn't the Ghosts of the Lords die? The Lords are quoted as "sacrificing themselves", which means they are dead. So, if the Iron Lords Ghosts are not in the Plaguelands, who's are? And why did the Ghosts return to the City, only to clam up and not reveal anything about why the Lords never returned as well?
Here's a theory; what if the Iron Lords had to separate themselves from their Ghosts? As for what could possibly drive the Lords to perform such measures...? Well, I got no clue.
But do you?
Important Edit: At the time I wrote this, I was under the impression that Jagi had led a host made up of Iron Lords. But after checking my research I found that I had made an error, and the Ghosts I mentioned that returned were not connected with the Iron Lords. So it is possible we will find the Ghosts of the Iron Lords in the Plaguelands, but I don't expect to see the Ghosts of other Guardians as the area has been quarantined since the Iron Lords.
Sorry for the inaccuracy of this article.

This was an idea I had early but what if you could find audio logs and journal fragments that gave you in-game lore. Like finding the last words of a dying iron lord that you can listen to in game. You wouldn't need the app to read them.
-
In the stream, one of them found something called a "Dormant Siva Cluster" shortly after Deej got out of the pit. That might be like a new Calcified Fragment, but I would love it if there were ghosts as well!

Iron ghosts
-
Who ya gotta call? [quote][quote][quote][spoiler][u][i][b]GHOST BUSTERS[/b][/i][/u][/spoiler][/quote][/quote][/quote]
-
I'm sure! I'd put money on it.
-
maybe it'll be armor pieces for the new Ghorn
-
Most likely
-
To answer your question, yes there will most likely be something like ghosts or calcified fragments in the Plague Lands.
-
Because maybe the Iron Lords [u][b][i]sacrificed themselves[/i] [/b][/u]and told their ghosts to return to the city. Sound familiar?
-
Maybe the iron lords purged their light to hold back the plague. That or they're still trapped down there and the plague infected and corrupted the ghosts memory.
-
That would be nice. Hope there isn't anything like the calcified fragments they where annoying
-
The Ghosts that came back and didn't say a word were Taken, or they at least had the appearance of being so.
-
when I read the title I thought of like spooky ghosts lol what a dumbass I am at times
-
why wouldn't there? Iron ghosttt
-
we probably find 2 things for different things, 'Old ghost fragments' for Iron lord backstory and 'old fallen tech' for fallen backstory
-
Maybe scattered audio from the Iron Lords? It would easily get lore into the game. I hope one of the lords turns out to be a complete joker. Seriously, my ghost, and Cayde are not enough for hilarious moments.
-
I hope if there are ghosts they're in better places than in strikes like in TTK, who has time to stop in a strike to platform to something above the enemy? Completely lackluster design.
-
Probably; I'm hoping that they do something similar to the Calcified Fragments and the Books of Sorrow. Perhaps something along the lines of 'Fractured Datapads' that tell the story of the Whirlwind and the downfall and devolution of the Eliksni from their once proud place into the Fallen and how they came to Earth / Sol.
-
Gonna be relic to build the ghorn
-
Where did you hear that their ghosts returned intact?
-
Maybe the old Iron lords got infected with SIVA.
-
Most likely collectables like the fragments on the dreadnought. That's a good question I didn't think of that before.
-
Maybe armor fragments of the Iron Lords. And maybe make the Gally quest like the touch of malice one and you have to collect a certain amount.
-
No, there will be "Armor Scraps"
-
Maybe
-
Most likely they will add something like ghosts and fragments
