I love them so much

[thefirstknife]

that's a neat little trick. thanks, friend (please don't repost or claim as your own)

[thefirstknife]

Oh cool there’s a new DLC out (draws the same 10+ year old character)

[thefirstknife]

Potentially silly question: does the Edge of Fate campaign end after you find out the truth about III??? The only other quests I can do are for the raid and Graviton, so I just wanna make sure I'm not missing anything

Yes, that's the final campaign mission! There's also all sidequests, depending on if you've done them during the campaign or not. Graviton Spike and then raid.

There's also solo and fireteam ops stuff which includes hidden datapads to collect which, when enough are collected, open up the last remaining lore book which is a collection of information from the datapads. So far it seems to be stuff that will be relevant in the future, so it's kinda setting up post-story and future story.

ok so. i haven't properly played since the end of TFS, what kind of Important Stuff do i need to know going into the new expansion

Most important is to check out is Episode Echoes if you haven't done that post-TFS: story and dialogues in activities Breach Executable, Battlegrounds and Enigma Protocol (less important but if you want to check them out, they're neat).

You can also give Vesper's Host stuff a look. It was a dungeon in Episode Revenant that was kinda the first proper big hint about for the new expansion. Some lines in particular like this one and this one were neat little hints.

During Heresy, there was a bizarre chess ARG and community puzzle with a lot of cool hints as well. And then after that, Rite of the Nine which was a direct lead-up to the expansion.

In shortest way possible: the Nine have finally reached out directly to us, Orin (the Emissary) broke rank and freed herself, the Nine want a replacement and there's something relating to them going on at the edge of the solar system on a planetoid called Kepler. Everything else is more or less explained as you play, but a lot of stuff will definitely make more sense if you're familiar with Episode Echoes specifically.

DRIFTER IN EDGE OF FATE

[thefirstknife]

First page of the raid lore book is here.

My two new pages, since i have no clue when these will be up on Ishtar Collective:

Another one under the cut:

Bonus:

This is from the quest. I love that it's the "simulant ansible." They built the ansible back in Aspect lore book. Well. Praedyth built it because he was the only one in the physical space. But this is a simulant one, so I'm assuming that they're using the design to simulate a similar device for this purpose. Aspect enjoyers stay winning.

Calling chiomaya toxic yuri is fine but I think it's also important to remember that before they became toxic yuri, they used to be one of the healthiest couples in destiny

[thefirstknife]

Can I just say a pet peeve of mine is when people get osiris’ echoes and reflections mixed up, like I understand that they’re very similar but the echoes were only used in one instance in a weblore please just watch a playthrough of coo I’m on my hands and knees

Three instances in weblore! The Sundial, What Gives Me Pause and Immolant part 2. Mentioned only a couple more times during Dawn, but mostly in relation to the Sundial and what he said in that weblore.

But yeah I agree completely. People often use them interchangeably and they're simply not. And if people are wondering "But what IS the difference?" well... This is the only explanation from the man himself:

[u.2:12] Reflections, Saint. I have no need for Echoes anymore. [u.1:13] What do you mean? What’s the difference? [u.2:13] One is a manifestation of Light. The other… reserved for Taken Kings. Better suited for traversing the Sundial because of what lies at its core.

And now people might be thinking "But what does that mean?" and if anyone figures that one out, please call me directly on the phone. It's been 5 years of me trying to understand this and come up with an answer. We simply don't know. Osiris try and make sense challenge difficulty level impossible. Every day I wake up and think about this line and the Sundial.

chioma & maya

i still havent got the anomalous voices sunflower dialogue out of my mind

[thefirstknife]

Clocking in at the new raid mines because of lore. Cleared one of the encounters (the Hydra), got another beacon from Maya and Chioma:

Found a secret chest on the way back from that encounter and to the next, secret chests drop a page from the lore book (so three pages will drop from the chests, not sure about the other five). We're going to be normal about this lore book fellas. First page:
