The cabal were destined to win.

This will be short. So today, I’m going to explain (more or less) why the cabal were destined to bring us down. The answer is in an old card that I’ve used before to explain which faction is better than the others. Darkness 3:[quote]Imagine three great nations under three great queens. The first queen writes a great book of law and her rule is just. The second queen builds a high tower and her people climb it to see the stars. The third queen raises an army and conquers everything…. ....Of course, it might be that there was another country, with other queens, and in this country they sat down together and made one law and one tower and one army to guard their borders. This is the dream of small minds: a gentle place ringed in spears. But I do not think those spears will hold against the queen of the country of armies. And that is all that will matter in the end.[/quote] Toland’s universal principle for how the universe works. Three queens: one of laws, one of a high tower, and one of armies. There is also another possible queen that has one law, one army, and one tower. (Sound familiar?) The city likely falls under the category of that fourth queen. Toland was right, that carefully placed ring of spears didn’t hold against a queen of armies. (the Red legion) They were bound to break our defense. They were destined to break us apart. We were destined to lose. Now, you may be thinking right now “Oh, wait. So does that mean the city is lost for good?” Nope. You alone were incredibly dangerous when you were just defending the city's walls. Now that the city is lost, we’re on the offensive. To half-ass quote some smart guy, "Don't mess with a man who has nothing left to lose." You may have just become the single most deadly thing in the system. Get in there guardian. Show Gual (Gaul? Ghaul? Ghual?) Gary, why you’re called a legend.[quote]Back to master thread: https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/205238605[/quote] Cheers :D

  • Well that's all fine and good. I don't have the resources nor the knowledge to debate you on this lore. So I'll go with it. My thing is the woeful defense capabilities of the Vanguard in general. Nobody saw this massive freaking fleet or knew they were coming before our satellites were destroyed? By the way, I didn't even know we had satellites. Where was Orbit, and Monarchy, and FWC while all this was going on? Haven't they been clamoring something like this was going to happen like forever? I can pretty much go with anything for the sake of suspension of disbelief, but seriously, the Speaker has been in his nook for three years doing.....whatever it is the Speaker does., I have a hard time believing he didn't know this was coming.
