Beneath Venus the Vex have constructed a massive structure that is acting as a meeting point of past, present and future. Their long-term goal is to basically unchain themselves from the constraints of a physical reality and turn themselves into a sort of epistomological computer virus in the very fabric of reality, incorporating the very IDEA of themselves into the fundamental laws of the universe. Because in this space, reality and time are starting to be altered, Oracles and Gorgons are basically quantum supercomputers that calculate reality and utilize a weaponized ontology to determine what is and is not real. This is why a Gorgon can look at you and kill you, because it simply unwrites you from existence. Oracles make changes and revisions to reality, and the Templar/Aetheon processes these calculations into existence.
The relic is the last, dying, desperate act of Kabr, a guardian who managed to send word that this was happening. He basically killed a Gorgon himself and hammered its corpse into a vessel for the Light, turning it into a shield that maintains a small space of stable reality around it. Throughout the raid, the Vex are constantly trying to separate you from it, throwing it into the past or future where it can't be used against them. All the guns and armor you find in the raid are the remnants of Kabr's failed raid and will give further info about their wielders and the events of the raid itself. In fact, some of the general exotics in the game once belonged to friends of Kabr too. The Super Good Advice machine gun is one such example but comes from the exotic bounties. This was crafted by a hunter named Pahanin who passed Kabr's warning about the Vault from Venus. After witnessing what happened to Kabr he became deathly afraid of being alone; he reckoned that he could only continue existing as long as someone was able to perceive him. So, to ensure that a mind could perceive him at all times he used an AI gun.

After doing the Paradox mission, it occurred to a lot of people that Praedyth was locked in another dimension. What we didn't consider is the notion of time. If we see Praedyth as still alive, then we see time as a linear and progressive thing. However, the Vex are outside of time. Meaning, both you and Praedyth can exist simultaneously in different areas because time has no demarcations to one that is immobile.

1 ReplyThey should've spoonfed me this lore through hours of needless cutscenes because i'm a self-entitled child and because I said so.

2 RepliesI just had a thought. Is there any comparison to the Gorgon's being able to tell if you're real or not real, and the Warmind that entered the Vex mind who was able to tell whether they were real or not? If the Warmind was able to tell that the scientists were simulations and remove them from that simulation, is that pretty much the same thing as what the Gorgon's do in the Vault. Are guardians real, or are we a Vex simulation created by the Traveler and brought into reality much like the Ishtar scientists did with the 227 Vex simulated copies of each scientist?

1 ReplyThe story of the vault of glass is, stand on portals, open door, shoot oracles, kill Templar, hide from gorgons, jump, shoot oracles, kill atheon. That's all I remember from it anyway
-
13 RepliesIf the vault is the meeting point of past present and future then that means that past present and future are happening at the same time right? In this case shouldn't kabr still be alive somewhere in the vault even tho he is dead in the present

5 RepliesI was thinking about the "unwrite" thing that you mentioned above. See, by logic, only the 'spotted one' (gorgons) or 'the marked one' (oracles) should die but, instead, all team gets wiped. MY theory is that when the team enters into VoG, they form a link with their lights, so they can endure the continuum space-time-reality shift. Once one of them is marked by a Oracle (and the Templar processes the calcule) or is spotted by a gorgon and unwrited, the link of light that was created when they entered is broken. Once the link is broken, the rest of the team no longer can resist the rules of the place and the 'calcule' or 'unwrite' is processed through them, wiping them all. Hope you can understand. May the Traveller's light shine upon US all.
