Byf I had a theory on Shadowkeep. Those floating black husks we see in the trailers must be the dead guardians lost in the first assault on Crota. And the common theme of Shadowkeep is nightmares, what's more nightmarish than seeing your fellow guardians corpses floating there taunting you.
Toland is and has always been my favorite character in the Destiny universe, Bad Juju was my first exotic in Destiny 1 and just his character is so interesting. I hope one day we can get a lore book of his journals, that would be so awesome
@@wyattthacker3679 All of the Reverie Dawn armor, regardless of the class, share the same lore tabs per piece. Any of the arms for any of the classes share the same lore tab. It's the Last Wish armor that has different lore tabs per piece of armor per class.

@@joelrobinson5457 Considering this was over a year ago, you used to be able to get it by doing the mission you did to get it again in the tribute hall, obviously that got removed so I have no clue how you get it now.
It’s crazy how witchqueen lore adds so much context to your past vids byf, I just finished chronicon vids and I’m pretty sure savathun influenced the scribes near the end. Now I’m seeing this and the witness has been foreshadowed in the bad juju…MIND BLOWING
I recently completed last wish for the first time and gotten all of the warlock armor pieces, and based on that lore, when Oryx died, Riven became King of the Taken, and the taken became extensions of her will throughout the system. I'm not at all surprised that a Might of Riven would be in the ascendant plane around the leviathan. What is surprising is that one would exist despite Riven being untook after her death. However, if you read the armor lore, Savathun Wished to take up Riven's strings and become her new master, and said wish might still be in play despite her being untook. So Riven might still be doing Savathun's bidding
Have returned to Destiny and to Byf after 6 months away due to mental health and then having a baby. "This guardian has been out by the systems edge, alone and swamped by darkness... But now the light has guided him home, his hunters instincts sharper from his travels in the deep. Darkness surrounds us all but together our light will burn it away." Apt I think ha ha. Thanks for the content as always, look forward to more.
@@TugboatTheBoat mate what I've learnt is just enjoy who and how you are, warts and all so to speak. Accept the crap days as they are and just get through them, then take extra care to make a big deal to yourself about the good ones. Our brains tend to hold on to negative stuff and let the positive slip through, you gota reverse that as much as you can.
I honestly just thought about this: Bad Juju is both bomb and sword logic. When you go on a killing spree, you get stronger and then release that strength, going back to square one. It’s also bomb logic, because it requires multiple things to happen for you to kill. It’s a never ending cycle of death. Your gun is your sword, and you kills are components for your bomb.
How you explains and uses such specific words to create a full picture is so tantalizing and captivating . Such a correct and very eloquent use of the english language is amazing keep up the videos. Love the lore of the exotics and character in the Destiny world and universe
Was just looking for a lore video to listen to while grinding iron banner and i get a notification from the best the moment i alt tab with no views yet. That was unacceptable. Thank you Byf for all your work.
Man from what it seems , our light may not be enough to take on the darkness. It's so much fun to think we might actually may lose a fight. Bungie story telling is amazing man
Congrats on 700k Byf! You've been my go to Destiny lore channel since late Taken King when you and Broman read the Books of Sorrow. Since then I've worked hard to become a lore master in Destiny and spread this amazing universe to my friends in the game. Keep up the great work and I can't wait to see you on PC when cross save comes out.
You said exactly what I was thinking!!! Whatever dark creature is currently watching us, it is allowing us to grow stronger, so that when/if we finally meet, it hopes to devour us and satiate it’s vast appetite.
This was just what I needed today. Been a rough day mentally I always enjoy your videos. Without you knowing your videos have helped my depression. Not sure why they do, but thank you for continuing to put out smashing lore content. Keep up the wonderful work and once again, thank you Byf
I feel the same way. I have no idea why but his videos are so comforting. A lot of times I feel like I don’t belong in my social life. But these make me feel at home. And I guess that helps with depression.
At 2:10, the story about the three queens in the three nations is brought up to represent the sword logic. I'm probably not the first to notice this, but did anybody else notice the similarities of the first queen writing a great book, like oryx writing the books of Sorrow, the second Queen building a great tower, and in Shadow keep we see that Scarlet Tower and it is supposedly tied to Savathun, and then the third Queen raises a great army, where as Xivu Arath is known as the aspect of war between the three siblings.
Come home from a long 12 hour day of fishing to some leftover Mexican food and a nice cold snow cone to open up this app to see a new LORE VIDEO. Just got to say I was pumped
Interesting point at the end about being fed so that we may make a greater tribute. I cant help but wonder more about Calus. If he has seen the darkness and is perhaps its “ambassador”. It is even more intriguing how he continually “feeds” us and tells us to grow fat from strength...
Keep up the fantastic work Byf, I always look forward to watching your lore videos. Hands down one of the very best lore master's on Destiny and I can't wait to see what is next for us Guardians.
Alot of the stuff we are getting recently, at least to me, has been hinting at a few things; 1. Something BIG is going down in the Hellmouth. (Other than the obvious Shadowkeep stuff) 2. Our guardian is starting to use weapons of Light and Sorrow. (Lumina and Bad Juju for example) 3. Eventualy even our Guardians own powers will reflect this balance of Light and Dark, or as I call it... The Grey. (See lore book "For every Rose a Thorn", chapter "Revelations and Invitations"
from the lore tab on the weapon, it sounds like whatever is at the top of the ascendant realm is something we currently have no clue about, since toland says "Higher than even I, sailor upon the Sea of Screams that I am, can yet see." If Toland doesn't know much more than what is essentially gossip, how would we guardians know what this thing at the top is?
We hear a lot about the sword logic, but Mara Sov’s plan to overcome the hive gods, or darkness is through a logic of her own, known as the bomb. The bomb logic is so many intricacies, or pieces designed towards a criticality. It takes time to assemble, giving the sword a chance to defeat it. Lore entries: _She has been thinking of a logic of her own, of secrets and hidden designs. A sword is everywhere edged, but the pieces of a bomb do not look at all like weapons until they are assembled._ _By the bomb, I mean that way of being that is complex and schematic and that must attain a criticality to attack. The way that is made from new things and that triumphs by the arrangement of intricacy. This way is known to those who study themselves. Take any component of the bomb in isolation, and you will say, "What is this? I cannot understand its purpose." Yet in it is the possibility of a fire."_
I find it really interesting that the Taken Cabal has a title, "Born of the Hellmouth". Oryx's reach didn't really make it to the Moon of Earth. Although his influence did make it to Luna through Crota, his actual Taken powers did not. So, under this premise, it's safe to assume that Mant Yút is a new Taken general. Considering his title, it's also safe to assume that Shadowkeep has something to do with a Taken presence on the Moon. Right?
I got chills when i ran into the Mights of Riven. The wish we allowed her to grant spread to more than just the dreaming city, didnt it. We messed up BEYOND our grasping
I have a theory that all the enemies we see in this quest were ones that were once killed but resurrected by whatever is on the moon that's bringing back our strongest enemies. It's not beyond reason that something that can bring things back to life might be able to move them to a specific place in the ascendant realm, or even allow the resurrection on the essence tied to the bones found on the Bad Juju.
By that Logic Xivu Arath, the war god, shall be the final queen. The Queen of Armies. Wherever there is war is the court of Xivu Arath. And I can Imagine that. She needs no magic, no trickery. Just pure, unbridled might. And if savathun dies, She will be the one remaining god of the hive, and thus the entirety of the hive with tithe to her and her alone.
15:45 I believe this is more an example of the truth of the dark. What the dark takes, the dark keeps. There isn't some foolish notion of "sole propriety" for to the dark, as there is no such thing as a sole being to the dark. Oryx took riven yes, but it was to the darkness that Riven belonged to. Riven and Oryx are gone, stolen from the dark by the light. But their tools, the dark can still find useful.
Sooo Toland is a disembodied soul at this point. We seem good at catching those & putting 'em in guns. Might be a good idea to catch one & put it into a exo frame since we have access to Clovis Bray's craziness. Just sayin'.
Gonna be pissed if Toland doesn't show up in full bodied form in the witch queen dlc. Gods I hope he's gonna be the one to teach us the new Darkness subclass!!!
The description of the opulent duelist Mark (menagerie titan mark) says that “the novenary, the Awoken Queen, the sad, strange little man on his rickety boat... believe they’ve seen the [end of all things].” I assume the novenary means the Nine, and the Awoken Queen is obviously Mara Sov, but the third I’m unsure of. My guess is that it would be Toland, given that he is often described as sailing the sea of sorrows (or whatever it’s called), but I’m still not sure. Any thoughts?
We must not be controlled by our hubris and never underestimate any threat that faces us and we will prevail if we keep this in mind. Also byf love this video.
I believe the royal secret using death as a chrysalis could refer to Mara Sov. Having the secret of the awoken with her throne world being a place where if she dies, she regenerates.
See when I first played the game and did the taken king I was like what why not take the throne so then we wouldn't need to constantly kill other hive powers who want to take the thrown
@@ExoticBear-o5u Yeah, of course there's always the risk of being corrupted by that power but given that it was the PLAYER guardian who canonically defeated Oryx, who's light is effectively 15 super suns chilling in a person, I'm sure we could've very easily taken the throne and gained a powerful new source of manpower, given that the taken probably dont get tired, we'd be able to do all sorts of menial tasks at a speed never seen before.
Big fan! So I was just watching your fallen unification video and a far reaching thousand occurred to me and I was wondering if it has to you as well. Assuming we back Mithrax and the Traveler recognizes the Eliksni again, how cool would it be if (Destiny 3) they made the Eliksni a playable race?
Hey Byf, any thoughts on Toland's decision to model the Bad Juju with a Bird's head? Kinda punny, the Bird eats the Worm[Hive]. Toland has a sense of humor.
Maybe that’s what the new red area in Shadowkeep is: a big ol’ Hive factory prepared just for us to go through and have our essence consumed through those that we’ve already defeated, hence all the shadow bodies. Maybe there’s a psychological aspect to the process.
I've had a theory for awhile and this just gave me the slight bit of evidence that I needed to actually justify talking about it, the concept is, the worm gods are the worms of past beings who held a symbiosis with the worms. It would explain why some of the worm gods are weaker than others, i.e. Xol, perhaps he was spawned of a lesser being. And the evidence? "when i witnessed a royal secret turn death into a chrysalis." What if Toland speaks of the worm of Oryx? What if that chrysalis was created when we defeated Oryx, and left his worm to feed upon his immense strength, what if it is the next worm god? Considering Oryx had the power to slay Akka, there's no telling how powerful a being would be if created from the Taken King. Of course this is all just a silly thought, with little backing it; little that i know anyways. Unless there's something more you could add to it, oh reader mine.
700K?!?! My boy Byf should easily have over 1 million subs!!!! Thank you Byf for ALWAYS delivering quality content and for keeping us ALL in the loop!!! #LoreDaddy
Here one take, like the Taken king story, we killed oryx in normal plan and then the hive ascendant plans. But bad juju was destroy in our normal plane and not the ascendant. When we went to the ascend plane we recovered it again it. Since it base on hive it must to tithe to the sword logic, hence why it always hungry.
I was speculating on this with clan mates: I'm not convinced that Riven isn't messing with us. Toland can be quoted as saying "one good death deserves another" during the Other Side mission. This is a quote from Riven during the Last Wish raid iirc. Also Riven can impersonate anyone who still lives. Does Toland qualify here? Is it Toland speaking or Riven? Or is it all just more Savathun trickery? Also can the Beast Magic ornament be taken seriously from a lore standpoint? Cause really: are we sure those aren't Ahamkara bones? So many questions lol. I can't wait to see how Bungie unravels all of this.
It’s so creepy to think about the idea that whatever’s at the top wants us to grow more powerful so we can act as a satisfying sacrifice. Especially when you consider the one line Calus says most to us: “grow fat from strength.” It almost sounds as though he’s preparing us specifically for this.
Hey Byf can you do a Luna’s howl and/or Not Forgotten lore video I want to know the full story of the two and how the gun lived up to killing hive and guardians
You know, now that shadowkeep is out, this Pyramid that Toland talks about is most definitely the darkness. Also, the darkness wanting us to be more powerful so we can feed it later explains why the darkness let us escape with the artifact instead of just mercing us then and there

The description of the opulent duelist Mark (menagerie titan mark) says that “the novenary, the Awoken Queen, the sad, strange little man on his rickety boat... believe they’ve seen the [end of all things].” I assume the novenary means the Nine, and the Awoken Queen is obviously Mara Sov, but the third I’m unsure of. My guess is that it would be Toland, given that he is often described as sailing the sea of sorrows (or whatever it’s called), but I’m still not sure. Any thoughts?
And you are the reason i know more about destiny universe and lore than the real life
Now this video is what I've been waiting for! Made my evening!
Yo is byf using juju on that beak?
Verruckter Schakal Juju on that beat
Aztecross gang
Congrats on 700K!! Youve earned every one.
Another great one, hope u feel better soon
We must not be controlled by our hubris and never underestimate any threat that faces us and we will prevail if we keep this in mind. Also byf love this video.
Know the story but byf's telling still gave me chills.
4 videos a week?!?!?
Nothing soothes my heart more
I believe the royal secret using death as a chrysalis could refer to Mara Sov. Having the secret of the awoken with her throne world being a place where if she dies, she regenerates.
Another BANGER video by byf
Love you byf keep up the good work
Congrats on the 700k. Fitting that while i was listening to this i was playing destiny 2.
So a question, if one of us HAD taken Oryx's place as the taken king, would that guardian then command the taken freely?
See when I first played the game and did the taken king I was like what why not take the throne so then we wouldn't need to constantly kill other hive powers who want to take the thrown
@@ExoticBear-o5u Yeah, of course there's always the risk of being corrupted by that power but given that it was the PLAYER guardian who canonically defeated Oryx, who's light is effectively 15 super suns chilling in a person, I'm sure we could've very easily taken the throne and gained a powerful new source of manpower, given that the taken probably dont get tired, we'd be able to do all sorts of menial tasks at a speed never seen before.
A well deserved 700k for the best loremaster on youtube
Big fan! So I was just watching your fallen unification video and a far reaching thousand occurred to me and I was wondering if it has to you as well. Assuming we back Mithrax and the Traveler recognizes the Eliksni again, how cool would it be if (Destiny 3) they made the Eliksni a playable race?
So THAT'S why Calus wants us to grow fat from strength.
Hey Byf, any thoughts on Toland's decision to model the Bad Juju with a Bird's head? Kinda punny, the Bird eats the Worm[Hive]. Toland has a sense of humor.
Maybe that’s what the new red area in Shadowkeep is: a big ol’ Hive factory prepared just for us to go through and have our essence consumed through those that we’ve already defeated, hence all the shadow bodies. Maybe there’s a psychological aspect to the process.
Thank you for this byf
Just got Bad Juju tonight :D
Hey Byf have you read the lore tabs on the Menagerie armor? It seems to be a interesting read.
I've had a theory for awhile and this just gave me the slight bit of evidence that I needed to actually justify talking about it, the concept is, the worm gods are the worms of past beings who held a symbiosis with the worms. It would explain why some of the worm gods are weaker than others, i.e. Xol, perhaps he was spawned of a lesser being. And the evidence? "when i witnessed a royal secret turn death into a chrysalis." What if Toland speaks of the worm of Oryx? What if that chrysalis was created when we defeated Oryx, and left his worm to feed upon his immense strength, what if it is the next worm god? Considering Oryx had the power to slay Akka, there's no telling how powerful a being would be if created from the Taken King. Of course this is all just a silly thought, with little backing it; little that i know anyways. Unless there's something more you could add to it, oh reader mine.
700K?!?! My boy Byf should easily have over 1 million subs!!!! Thank you Byf for ALWAYS delivering quality content and for keeping us ALL in the loop!!! #LoreDaddy
Petition for byf to do a podcast where he explains destiny lore
I must ask, did you noticed the large section of bones in the ascendant realm that looks like part of the Leviathan? Could they be Ahamkara bones?!?
Here one take, like the Taken king story, we killed oryx in normal plan and then the hive ascendant plans. But bad juju was destroy in our normal plane and not the ascendant. When we went to the ascend plane we recovered it again it. Since it base on hive it must to tithe to the sword logic, hence why it always hungry.
I was speculating on this with clan mates: I'm not convinced that Riven isn't messing with us. Toland can be quoted as saying "one good death deserves another" during the Other Side mission. This is a quote from Riven during the Last Wish raid iirc. Also Riven can impersonate anyone who still lives. Does Toland qualify here? Is it Toland speaking or Riven? Or is it all just more Savathun trickery?
Also can the Beast Magic ornament be taken seriously from a lore standpoint? Cause really: are we sure those aren't Ahamkara bones?
So many questions lol. I can't wait to see how Bungie unravels all of this.
0:16 Byf: "Throat is still kinda doing it's thing"
*Jez eyes*
the lore on this is insane this might be peak Destiny in terms of story
2:15 alright so basically savathun is gonna make a huge army oh damn
Ah doctor how's the dark aether treating you?
After reading the secret message from Bagel's shattered throne solo run, i think we get a pretty good idea who's at "the top"
I'm glad somebody decided to get my story straight.
It’s so creepy to think about the idea that whatever’s at the top wants us to grow more powerful so we can act as a satisfying sacrifice. Especially when you consider the one line Calus says most to us: “grow fat from strength.” It almost sounds as though he’s preparing us specifically for this.
Wait byf has a 4 vid per week schedule I didnt know that and I think you should take a break after solstice byf
Having a bit of trouble there, Byf? 6:14 😂
YOU SAID HER NAME BYF! I love it.
Great video! I love that Toland the Shattered, is a hippy!!!!!! LOL
I need a weekly dose of Byf's voice in order to stay afloat
Hey Byf can you do a Luna’s howl and/or Not Forgotten lore video I want to know the full story of the two and how the gun lived up to killing hive and guardians
You know, now that shadowkeep is out, this Pyramid that Toland talks about is most definitely the darkness. Also, the darkness wanting us to be more powerful so we can feed it later explains why the darkness let us escape with the artifact instead of just mercing us then and there
