Glint: Remember, you haven’t spoken to him in a long time, so just keep it light and casual! You can use our conversation starters if you get in trouble. :)
Young Wolf: 👍
Crow: Light and casual, got it… (exhales) Thanks, guys.
Crow, gay panicking: I’M GOING INTO LABOR
Jolyon: ?!?!?
Glint: HE’S PULLING THE PREGNANCY CARD THIS EARLY??
Young Wolf, observing through binoculars: If he u-turns the topic back to supply runs we might clutch this.

Skimmer lore! Absolutely wild mention of Concordat. Eva mentions some additional stuff about it as well:
Tumblr media
The Concordat was one of the early factions in the City that eventually ended up trying to overthrow the Speaker and the Consensus. We only know the name of their leader, Lysander. The Concordat was exiled from the City following their failed coup (Future War Cult took their place in the Consensus) and there has been no mention of them until this. Literally the last mention of them was back in D1. Very interesting. Now that the other factions are gone, perhaps the Concordat is planning to return. Lysander gifting Guardians is also not a new tactic from him.

Warmind is a hot mess and Ana Bray’s bland introduction into the story made me incredibly sad, so this is an attempt to make it up to myself. Not only was Ghost entirely unsurprised by the discovery of her being alive, the narrative in general didn’t treat her with near the love and care as it did Saint-14, a hero that she is just as legendary as.
So here is Ana, tired and worn.
On the flipside, Nokris’s/Xol’s court aesthetic is incredibly muddled compared to the hives prior so this is my attempt to give it a more coherent look to pull the aesthetic altogether. The Court of Bones.
Bonus material: the chat tried to come up with details of how the court might operate and the cultural differences between the Court of Bones and, say, Oryx’s or Savathun’s courts. My wife came up with stonks and my cursed hands did this.

Look, I was willing to give the Veil a shot. I was. I was willing to let Bungie cook. But they made the Veil the Travelers opposite, and I couldn't figure out why I didn't like that. Until a random ass reddit comment and it clicked.
The visual storytelling between the Pyramids and The Traveler is such a beautiful way of portraying two opposing forces without explicitly saying what those forces represent. It's all in their design.
Angular/Spherical
Many/One
Black/White

They have "We are opposites" written on their forehead and the Veil kind of fucked it up.
While I'm on the subject, I've been revisiting my favorite lore book "Unveiling" and MAN, that shit was awesome.
I really really really liked when the overarching conflict was about two Gods giving themselves physical form in the universe to win a cosmic argument on whether the conplexity of life made it worth living. I also really liked its interpretation of the Vex: the manifestation of the perfect pattern. Microorganisms that always came out on top before a new rule were forced upon the game. And yeah, i get it, "Unveiling had no reason to be truthful. The Witness had every reason to lie to us to make us fight each other. Untrustworthy narrator." Blah blah blah.
But, I think it would've been way cooler and scarier if it wasn't lying. It would show that The Winnower truly believes what it's saying. It's simply acting in its nature. It doesn't even know if it's 100% correct, but chooses to follow its path anyway.

This part altered my brain chemistry fundamentally. I am NOT normal about this section and I never will be.
Ok. I'm done. You can tear me a new one or pick my apart. You can tell me the new story is better in every conceivable way. But the Unveiling lorebook was P E A K to me

"You've no idea how fortunate you are to be my chosen. You hold the flesh of a god in your hands. You are mere steps away from our salvation. Only Light[1] and Dark[1] together[x2] can unlock my way back into your world."
K. You bring Medusa before Rahool. "Ah," he sniffs, "another battle trophy? Pre-Collapse, post-Foreboding, a covert intelligence designed to watch over a high-risk colony mission. Allow me to decrypt her for you." He issues you several tokens, a rare-quality fusion rifle, a shader, and a letter. The letter reads "Achieve Light[+Dark] Level 999[x2] and defeat Dûl Incaru in a one-person fireteam to unlock the true ending of the Dreaming City."

the image of a bunch of disgruntled guardians getting up from their fishing chairs and going to nuke a servitor in 40 seconds and then sitting back down at their chairs is hilarious to me
