Actually, this [i][b]might[/b][/i] be a huge spoiler. But at this point, this is more like wild speculation than cold hard fact. In any case, we'll find out in just a few short hours! As some of the more old school fans may know, the people at Bungie have always been big fans of Glen Cook's awesome [i]Chronicles of the Black Company[/i] books. Apparently, back in the day the series has been a major inspiration to the storyline of the [i]Myth[/i] games. No official statement has ever been issued by the studio on the subject, but the influence is just painfully obvious to anyone with even half a brain. If you're curious at all, just follow the link and see for yourself: http://blackco.tripod.com/myth-n-bc.html Back to speculation. [i]The Black Company[/i] features a pair of monstrously powerful entities called The Dominator and The Lady. The Dominator earned his name by virtue of a single dreaded ability: The Taking. Through this infamous and unholy ritual, worthy opponents and maligned enemies would be turned into almighty obedient servants. These slaves would then serve as his generals and emissaries, a grim reminder of the fate of those who would oppose The Dominator and his Lady. They would be known as The Ten Who Were Taken. See where this is going? [i]Taken[/i] enemies serving a god-like entity as their [i]King[/i]... Remember the Heart of Crota Grimoire card? It features a Hive Wizard apparently torturing a captive Hunter by stripping away his light. They are surrounded by "a sea of cocoons" and "thousands more freshly spawned hordes" feeding off the Guardian's light and pain. In one of the later books, select members of the Black Company are put in a dream-like transe and assist The Lady in the performing of The Taking. They have very few memories of the event, but they recall it involving demons, the victim being abused, torn appart and being put back together... several times over during a number of days. Sound familiar? So here goes: I think we'll be fighting what has become of the members of Eris' ill fated former fireteam. I think Oryx took them and somehow turned them into his Taken. How cool would this be?!? Eriana-3, Toland the Shattered, Sai Mota, Omar Agah, Vell Tarlowe... all sub-bosses to put out of their misery before facing Oryx himself. What do you think? edit: Ahem... cleaned up the title. ;)
