    • - Vanilla - 1) EXO STRANGER? Who is she? Before the Rewrite, she was Osiris' assistant. Now, we don't know. Destiny 2 (MIGHT) address or reveal more. (She needs her own game imo.) 2) What was happening when the Exo Stranger had to leave the Ishtar Library? Her team was detected & attacked by an enemy force. She was deliberately interfering with the Timeline. So it may have been Vex, Taken, another force we have yet to meet, maybe Guardians. 3) Don't let who in? (Related to #2) Somewhat answered in 2. - The Dark Below - Waffles... - House of Wolves - 1) Why the heck would the Nine release Skolas? Rumor is that it was to force The City & Reef to unite. Many Lore buffs decrypted that from the Grimiores. - Taken King - 1) How did Eris and the Queen become allies? Part of the past issues between The City & Reef. As The Reef saves the City during Twilight Gap, and I forget if they had ant involvement during the Crota War. 2) What is Eris' "fate" she spoke of? She did haver most of her light peeled away, she has the eyes of the Hive Knight (so part worm?), and is tied to the Darkness. Probably living on borrowed time if you ask me. 4) Is the Queens brother okay on Mars? Being alone and all. Bah he's find... No one likes him anyways. Damn shame he survived. I would relish the chance to put a Judith round between his eyes. 5) How come there was [b]TWO[/b] Ir Yut in the mission "[i]Last Rites[/i]" You mean the Deathsingers around Crota's shard/coffin? Those weren't Ir Yuts. - Rise of Iron - 1) Can we cure or repair Rasputin? - Raids - 1) How did Praeydth get lost in time? During the defeat of Kabr's team. When Praedyth went down the Vex captured his soul. - Characters - 1) Why do the Sunbreakers hate Zavala? Zavala dissapproves of them wishing to pursie the Vex & follow Osiris. - The Nine - 1) What other things does the Nine have if what Xûr sells is trash to them? Good question... 🤔 Sometimes ignorance is bliss... 2) What does the Nine do with Strange Coins? Naughty things... - Miscellaneous - 1) Why can't Ghosts resurrect fallen guardians if they get separated, then reunited? (Cough Cough Tevis) Lore wise, every death a Guardian experiences expends Light. Both from the host, Ghost, & Traveler. Every death there is a chance that light will run out, not be able to reach the target, and/or there simply isn't enough around/left to expend. This is why in the Lore the Crucible is controversal. A LOT of Guardians don't survive it. 2) What's behind the New Monarchy door? Good Question... 🤔 3) Has the lost hunter in South Africa been found? (Tower intercom - Cayde said this) No. - Gameplay - 1) Why can't certain weapons and abilities work separately from PvP and PvE? Bungie is hardheaded.

      • When I do a quest step, why do I need to fly millions of miles to go and see them in person, for them to go "ok, right, do this part now". I have an awesome ship and a ghost, I'm sure we can get some sort of message across, Facetime, Morse, a shortwave ham radio signal.

        Vanilla:we have no idea who the stranger is. Insinuation and conjecture leads to that of Maya Sundaresh at best. She was one of Dr.Shim's colleagues who was present during the vex unit simulating them. It is plausible that between those 227 loops, she gathered pertinent info and brought it to the bray family; who turned her into an exo. And due to her prolonged exposure to that vex unit; she became chronologically dissociated. Though, this is wild speculation. We do know she may be the founder of the FWC. As well, she has ties with Praedyth (as NTTE has features from both her and praedyth's weapons), and possibly OSIRIS. It's plausible she was speaking to one of them on the comms. About what? Unknown... DB/HOW: During that time of destiny, Uldren and his crows made the incredibly incompetent decision to stumble upon the jovian colonies. AKA: the nine' s territory. They were perturbed as one might suspect, and to appease them Mara Sov gave them Skolas. Then, as punishment, the nine released him and basically all of the surviving wolves. Why? Because the nine - like the ahamkara, and other entities - have no side in this war. They play for themselves. Everything they do is a mystery. Better questions would be why is Xûr ordered to give us their trash every weekend. Or how do they collect such weapons and armor. Or WHO THEY ARE... But that's for another time. Taken King: 1:Eris and the queen were allies long before that. If you recall; there was a card released around Db/HOW where Mara, Eris, and two unknown apparitions (most likely Osiris and Toland) were discussing soon to come threats -AKA Oryx. I'd assume that prior to the failure of Eris' fireteam, when she was only a member of the hidden, she had to hold conference with her which led to them speaking with each other. That, and plausibly Eris' relationship with Toland and the secrets he bequeathed upon her. 2: to assist is slaying the hive. She lost her allies, her ghost, and was nearly exiled thanks to the hive. All she wishes for is retribution. 3: Uldren? Maybe? I mean he's been crashlanded on uncharted martian territory for over a year with only a few crows to accompany him. You'd think Petra would've sent out a search party by now... I only hope he's alright, as he is the only person we know who can sense Mara. 4: seems as if deathsingers don't require throne rooms to undo their deaths. Rather, they hold that of death and its quiddity in their hand (just as Toland suspected). Meaning, they truly do understand how to make themselves a part of death: "rotting and pealing, but never truly ending". That only makes me more curious about ir Anûk and Ir Halak. Rise of iron: Repair? Repair what? Seems as if he's gained full sentience and is completely operable in all other cases. He's back in control of what's left of SIVA, and all of his usual weapons of mass destruction. If you mean force him to begin his initiatives for preserving humanity again; I don't think he'd like that all too much. He despises the light, and doesn't trust us for a second. Better off to leave him be and protect him every now and again. Till of course the day comes where he comes up with an idea to destroy the city or something to that affect. Then it might be time to destroy him. Raids: Vog: praedyth didn't flee like pahanin after Kabr sacrificed himself. Rather, he burrowed deeper into the vault to continue to find a way to defeat the vex. Without going too far into it; destiny runs on multi-universe theory. What most likely occurred was that other versions of praedyth became self aware of each other and the vault. To assist in not allowing them tampering with the aegis, and kabr' s plans; he confused the vex as best as possible. He became dead, living, and he never even existed all at that same time. Or something to that effect. Everything gets all timey-wimey with that part of the lore. Characters: Because Zavala is the charla- I mean speaker's pet. He agrees with nearly everything he says, almost never questioning him. When eris returned, he was even in favor with the speaker to exile her. Had it not been for ikora; it would've . Knowing this -and the speakers thoughts on Osiris- it's plausible the speaker held contempt for those who wished to follow osiris. As such, so did zavala... most likely that is. The nine: ... harbingers, ahamkara remnants, if not them themselves, or even greater powers. Who knows. Maybe wash their laundry. In all severity though, those things seem To emminate with power. Maybe we should be more careful with our deals. Tevis: Normally, for a guardian to die completely, they must break bonds with their ghosts, their ghost must die first, or both must be drained of all their light or corrupted. Not too versed with all the lore surrounding tevis, but I don't believe we ever recover his ghost. Safe to say it might have died. Or his insensent use of the void without understanding/reverent respect finally got the best of him at the worst time; thus not allowing for the ghost to recall him. New Monarchy: most likely the mind control devices they utilize on new recruits. Have you seen their tenants? A bit "big brother" don't you think? Just doesn't bode well with me. Lost hunter: That sounds like a rouge. Maybe Dredgen vale, or shin malphur? Either way, not likely PVE/PVP: because it wouldn't be as bungie intended. Early on, they stated they wanted all changes to affect all ranges of play equally so your guardian would feel the same regardless of where they go. But frankly (and no offense bungie, I love ya) it seems to just make our guardians feel weaker in pve overall, and make weapons/abilities in general weaker. As well, make the end game feel a bit less rewarding. But, their game I suppose.

            1) [b]House of Wolves:[/b]: The Nine released Skolas in order to help forge a closer relationship between the Reef and the Vanguard, that much is fairly obvious. The immediate reason for it was to defeat Oryx, presumably neither group could have done it alone. The real question, then, is if they did it for reasons beyond that - do they have a longer-term plan they are working towards? 2) [b]Raids/Praedyth[/b]: It was the Vex, I'm not sure why that's a question. Either the Templar or Gorgons locked him away, it seems that perhaps instead of totally erasing things from existence altogether, they simply remove them from their timeline and into a closed realm, basically a time prison. 3) [b]The Nine[/b]: The stuff Xur [u]sells[/u] isn't the trash, that makes no sense. A trash collector [i]takes[/i] trash from others, he doesn't [i]give[/i] it to them. He's collecting strange coins, that's the "trash." Likely they are more important than the Nine want us to think, so Xur downplays their value. What they do with them is an excellent question. 4)[b]TTK[/b]: I think these are the most likely explanations for how Mara/Eris became allies: - Osiris introduced them for a common goal of killing Oryx, Osiris knew about the Shrines of Oryx and may have been the first to know he was coming. - Mara does refer to her as a "hidden friend" so it may instead have been a clandestine operation set up by Ikora (Either way the warlocks saved humanity. You're welcome.) 5) [b]Gameplay[/b]: That's obviously a troll question but I'll humor you. They are the same guns and abilities, there's no logical lore reason why they would not behave roughly the same way everywhere. 6) [b]Vanilla[/b]: Assuming her true identity is a character we've heard of, she's likely Maya Sundaresh or Ana Bray, I personally favor the former but a good case could be made for either. The Vex are her singular focus, so they are the most logical answer to who was not supposed to be "let in". Who she was talking to is the real mystery, one wonders if it may be whichever of the two people I mentioned that isn't The Stranger. 7) [b]Misc[/b]: That's, um, Hideo's "playroom." It's best not to think about what sort of depravity goes on back there... <[i]shudders[/i]> (not in order, deal with it)

          • Or how about this question, Did Kabr die or did he just become corrupted by the Vex? Because in the grimoire he says something like "if you see me I am no longer Kabr" or something like that, meaning he could still be alive but he is controlled by the Vex.

              • Is not that they can't separate pvp from pve but rather that they don't want to so weapons don't feel different in both activities.

                  Mystery: The Fate of Skolas details the account of Skolas' release by Xûr, who states that The Nine wish for him to be returned. We are left to speculate on The Nines intentions for doing so, but it is better than nothing. Ghost Fragment: The Queen 2 details the moment Eris met with Mara. After a short exchange, Eris states that it is her mission in life to destroy Oryx, to which the Queen offers her support.

                • Raids, characters, and misc. 1 I can answer. Raids: The Vex made praedyth lost in time. It was their way of dealing with him. Characters: Zavala turned down a proposed contract for the sun breakers made by Osiris. He found the terns unacceptable. Most likely he terms were stacked in the sun breaker's favor. Misc 1: In that situation Tevis's ghost was destroyed/ran out of light. Tevis was in a similar situation. Normally a ghost can revive a guardian as long as the guardian's light remains.

                • i was always under the assumption that the nine released skolas to force the queen to ally with the guardians to deal with Oryx's arrival. Plus Eris and Osiris went and had consort with the queen in grimoire so we know why theyre allied beyond Eris even being an Awoken

                    The queen has a special relationship to the 9 and to wizards unfortunately it's purely speculative and there's no direct hard evidence but I think enough to say she she has some forms of direct connection My question is who is variks really working for? The queen? Himself? PETRA???

                      - House of Wolves - [spoiler]1) Why the heck would the Nine release Skolas?[/spoiler] Answer: It was to provide the queen and the guardians a chance to strengthen their relationship. The nine knew oryx was coming, and it would take the awoken and the guardians to defeat him. - Taken King - [spoiler]1) How did Eris and the Queen become allies? 2) What is Eris' "fate" she spoke of? 4) Is the Queens brother okay on Mars? Being alone and all 5) How come there was [b]TWO[/b] Ir Yut in the mission "[i]Last Rites[/i]"[/spoiler] Answers: 1) after the vanquishing of Crota, Eris' rock started speaking to her again. It told her Oryx was coming. She then went to the queen asking for help to go kill Oryx. 5) there weren't 2 Ir Yut. One was Ir Yut. The other was just another death singer - Rise of Iron - [spoiler]1) Can we cure or repair Rasputin?[/spoiler] Answer: Rasputin isn't damaged or sick. He simply has changed his programing to prioritize survival of himself and the human species; even if that means most people die. As long as a small remnant of the species survives and can reproduce - Raids - [spoiler]1) How did Praeydth get lost in time?[/spoiler] Answer: He was a part of kabr's fire team that went into the vog. It was either the Templar/oracles or the gorgons. - Miscellaneous - [spoiler]1) Why can't Ghosts resurrect fallen guardians if they get separated, then reunited? (Cough Cough Tevis) 2) What's behind the New Monarchy door? 3) Has the lost hunter in South Africa been found? (Tower intercom - Cayde said this)[/spoiler] Answers: 1) there are three ways ghosts can't resurrect a guardian: 1. The guardian is drained of his light. 2. The ghost is drained of its light. 3. The ghost is mechanically damaged or destroyed. In Tevis' case, when he got separated from his ghost, as he fought, he got drained of his light. - Gameplay - [spoiler]1) Why can't certain weapons and abilities work separately from PvP and PvE?[/spoiler] Answer: because Bungie logic Edit: format fixes
