“normally, people who die stay in their graves.” — Echo-17 @mantleoflight
she stares, silent and watching for what can only be described as a second stretching into eternity. her leftmost eye blinks, followed by the middle, and finally the right. and then again; left, middle, right. it isn't until immaru speaks that she seems to regain her composure, and turns those eyes onto him.
"my brother in the light," says the ghost, perhaps speaking a bit too slow, "i need you to repeat that one more time. i don't think you realize how completely stupid you sound. and don't give me that look!" his shell spins, and this time that green optic focuses on his guardian, "guardians are called risen for a reason."
What would the Eliksni words be for the other races? Give, Scorn, Vex, humans, etc. I guess Scorn could be considered 'ghouls' (vathyarov, if I remember correctly?).
I feel this answer might be a tad disappointing haha(;^ω^)but they basically are just the regular name of the species in Eliksni spelling/phonetics. I'm going w the names the factions use for themselves (or in the case of the Cabal, the fanon name Uluran since we haven't been given a canonical name for them in their own language yet even tho its been like 2 fuckin years since we became buddies w caiatl BUNGIE GET ON IT)
Human = Huumen (double u is the long u sound like in "book")
Hive = Heiv
Vex = Veks, this one features in a line of my Null Composure translation actually, lol
Uluran = Uluuraan
Scorn = Skorn
Taken = Tehken
Good memory that "vathyarov" means ghoul! Yes, the Scorn could be (and probably are) described as such by the Eliksni, altho similar to Guardians, it's more of a derogatory term than an official name for their people.
youre doing gods work documenting the lore for this game. i stopped playing a few seasons ago, but i have wondered what's happened since i left, and it seems hard to find people on youtube playing it through for the story. thanks for putting it all together like this
@wa-u
Thank You, but I'm not doing much.
The Timeline Lore is actual a new thing Bungie put in the game theirselves.
All I'm doing is taking the picture, editing into a graphic to use here on Tumblr, and relaying the info in the boxes.
I know not everyone is able to stay up to date with Destiny, but still might want to know what's going on.
I also know that the little blurbs that Bungie gives us in the Timeline is NOT enough to explain everything. So each event does link to the website, ISHTAR COLLECTIVE , an amazing site ran by members of the community devoted to the Lore of Destiny. More specifically their Timeline which has links to lore books, in game cinematic scenes' transcripts/videos, and much much more.
Once the new expansion launches I'm sure Bungie will up date the LIGHTFALL portion of the timeline to better explain the events, then I will make a new part to the Timeline posts.
But if you don't want to wait til then I would suggest starting with the ISHTAR COLLECTIVE TIMELINE
did you guys know when i remade my Destiny 2 account it was around peak live slug reaction meme time and so i named it Live Slug Reaction and Bungie does NOT let u change this
and so my clan mates shorten my name when we play together to "Slug". honestly i love it. "hey slug" "thanks slug" its hilarious i love it
