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]
