Can you bring me on next?
@@laverniustucker8198 Are you a well-established sci-fi Lore channel? The answer is obviously no, so no.
Can you guys talk about more famous battles in destiny like the great disaster or the battle of burning lake?
Let’s gooooo Destiny content. Finally it gets exposure from my fav bois at templin
@@kudicontessa7147 I would also add the another important battle wich was the Battle over Saturn.
“Removing wrong opinions”
“Learning proper pronunciation of Byf”
“Reticulating splines”
Love that loading screen! 🤣
is that last one a gamegrumps reference???
Destiny legit has some 40k style in depth lore. Glad it finally made it to the channel
Deep lore, absolutely.
40k levels of pointless fluff, nah.
@@annelisemeier283 Hahaha, dude Destiny is designed to be a nothing plot that goes on for as long as they can sell you story DLCs.
Even Halo has more cleverly considered lore.
@@TensionBoogieWoogie Aye plot and lore aren’t the exact same thing tho.
@@TensionBoogieWoogie I mean, Destiny does have some shit storytelling, yeah. But the worldbuilding is superior in pretty much every respect. I wouldn't say it's Marathon, but the worldbuilding is decently thought out.
Not gonna lie it as a long time viewer of Byf's content it was kinda weird to hear him "Institute personnel" instead of "Guardians". Subscribing because they know how to pronounce Gjallarhorn. If you play Destiny you know how rare is it to find someone that does that.
I know how to pronounce it but actively say it wrong because it sounds better
@@lordbrain8867 this is true
Oh, this crossover 100% sold me on subscribing to the Institute for that reason
@@lordbrain8867 however it's spoken in game is accurate as its an in game item from a different time that may have developed different pronunciations of old languages
Wait, two of my favorite lore channels finally doing a collaboration?!
“What do you mean you can’t concentrate while I’m yelling?! RELAX!” - Lord Shaxx
I’M NOT SHOUTING
Templin? Doing Destiny?… This is a dream come true! I would love to see you guys do break down videos of stuff like Oryx’s Dreadnaught or the Almighty
bro that would be awesome, I would love to see the Almighty on this channel
Yes please!
Destiny has such great lore, I never expected this kind of collaboration. Even though it's perfect
Byf making a video for the Templin Institute is the equivalent of a Harvard professor coming to a high school to give a presentation on their theory of general relativity. I love it.
Is he supposed to be some sort of Vaativyfia for Destiny?0_o
@@TheArklyte he's called the "lore daddy" by guardians. So he is pretty prominent
@@TheArklyte brother, this guy is basically our God of Knowledge, all other lore channels are shadows to this guy
@@TheArklyte He made a 4 hour “summery” of the lore in addition to a few hundred 10-60 minute long in depth lore videos. Plus a multi hour, voice acted video on one single relatively short story. Mans got dedication
Ehhh there’s better destiny lore RUclipsrs that do a better job than him
The most incredible, interesting and immersive contemporary universe. Such strong storytelling for years, and top notch content creators analyzing and chronicling it
While I had always understood the implications of the outcome of Twilight Gap as they pertained to the military situation (The military power of the Eliksni as a species in the Sol System was permanently crippled following Twilight Gap and their disasters in the Reef), I had never really considered the cultural implications of the outcome of this battle. Fascinating analysis of a different set of repercussions to the result of Twilight Gap.
I was wondering when you guys would do some destiny lore and then...byf. Now, don't get me wrong, I love Byf, in the last few months ive watched a whole lot of his content, its just funny one of the first if not the first destiny video on this channel is done by someone else. In any case, love the video, having fun with it. Awesome job as usual by both parties involved
Technically not the first, they did a video on the planet Mars in the Destiny universe. Tho that was quite a few years back so it's frankly a easy mistake to make X3
They also did a video on Byf’s channel
Omg this was completely unexpected! I ❤ it
I am glad that Destiny is getting more attention on channels such as this, and very nice touch on the co-op with Byf! I hope to make my own YT channel inspired around this too.
When I saw My Name is Byf's logo and heard the theme drop, my jaw dropped in excitement!
I’ll see you starside is still one of my favourite lines ever, it’s got such a nice feel to it.
Byf + Templin Institute?
What a blast! 😍
Thank you both for collabing! I discovered another great youtuber
Templin uploads a Destiny video: *I sleep*
It has Byf: *REAL SHIT*
The Battle of Twilight Gap is basically Destiny's Halo Reach if they won.
Essentially yeah
Yeah, kinda lol. I like that comparison.
Arguably the politics of twilight gap are more foundational to Destiny than reach is to halo, mainly because most of the major players at twilight gap survived the battle. As opposed to reach where most of the big time players were killed or missing post battle. Heck elements of destiny's current narrative can be traced directly to the gap. Such as the continued tension between Saladin, Shaxx and Zavala or smaller background narratives such as Anna Bray rescuing what's left of Rasputin from Mars, something which would not have happened had she not used the chaos of Twilight gap to slip away and fake her death. As much as I love halo Reach is mainly just another Battle and planet humanity lost. With its only true future significance to the wider universe being the discovery of halos co-ordinates. The events of halo 1 are probably more akin to halos twilight gap. Given the loss of the ring and it's resulting ripple effects through the covenant hierarchy are far more infulential on the halo universe in its current state
@@Fordmister why reach is so important anyway?
@@seankellygaller6902 essentially because if Earth was Humanities home and political capital in halo then reach was it's military capital. There was an in universe belief that no matter how bad the war was going that as long as reach stood we would be ok. The fact that she fell so quickly was horrifying, but it also meant that there was nothing between the covenant and earth other than them simply not knowing where it was. The fight went from one we were loosing to one we had basically lost with reaches fall. Had it not been for the Autumn escaping the planet with the coordinates for halo on tow and the events that kicked into motion we would have lost.
Love the lore of Destiny
The fact that you guys got the Lore Daddy helping the institute makes me know you guys are going to be huge. Rock on Templin Institute!
Next video suggestion: THE CABAL EMPIRE (under Calus)
Yes plz! The space turtles
For the record, the Titan Liu Feng, the forename 'Liu' is prounced "Loo", not lo-weh. And that's the game itself saying this, Shaxx recalls details of the battle during D2 Year 1's subclass quests, and his narration says it as "Loo Feng."
Idk why but I love this, his voice is soothing and would love to learn more from him about the lore.
Well, go sub to his channel then :) he is known to the destiny community as lore daddy for a reason
This is a HELL of a surprise.
This is the crossover I needed!
Great to see some more Destiny lore on this channel once again. By a lore officionado no less! Here's hoping you'll add more Destiny content over time. Thanks so much! :)
Very informative. Reminds me of the lesson Rell taught me, though.
Never trust someone just because they give you power, even if you need it. _Especially_ if you need it.
That reminds me of that one infamous question thats is better left unanswered.... "What do you want?"
wanna thank you and byf for the collab on his channel. I found this channel from his video featuring this channel and I'm excited to see all the lore you have to offer! subbed and liked already!
Welcome aboard!
Two of my favorite channels working together on my favorite game. It's a good day today 😁
Holy wow two of my favorite channels making a crossover talk about a good day
Love this feature. Both channels are absolutely amazing
This is brilliant! I so needed this
The greatest Titan who ever lived, so many legends were born that day, and so many guardians to be remembered
SAINT-14,SHAXX,ZAVALA,SALADIN,EVERYBODY
Super glad destiny made it to the institute, among with a colab with Byf!
I don't play Destiny(did for about a month when it first came out) but I love hearing about the lore of different settings. Going to check out your channel.
I remember my name is Byf from Uni. Great to see you're still making videos!
We really do NEED to see this animated.
Just imagining such a brilliant cinematic would be magnificent.
Found the Institute's channel through this crossover and I am here for another lore channel for various Sci Fi universes. I love this stuff!!
Was in another tab during the intro and had to do a double take after hearing both intros.
Also Twilight Gap being determined by a team of 6 makes me imagine the possibilities of it being a raid.
It certainly wouldn't feel like a raid... More like a survival mode, I guess?
@@Flamme-Sanabi Now I am imagining something like the last level from Halo Reach.
@@ShadowEclipexnever played it, but let me guess.
It's the mission where the "survive" meme came from and you can virtually not so the objective?
@@Flamme-Sanabi Nope, "Survive" came from the last mission of Halo Reach where Nobel-6 stands alone against against a veritable onslaught of Covenant forces.
Edit: Please ignore the comment, I must have been drunk and did not read the previous comment properly. Leaving it up for the sake of context.
@@LtCWest dude... They literally were correct and you said 'nope'. You added details someone who didn't play may not know, yea, but everything Flamme said was correct :/
FINALLY!!! Thanks so much for covering Destiny! Do SCP Foundation next please
they aren’t gonna do SCP because it has no canonical lore
SCP Foundation is already aware of The Templin Institute. They both cover the multiverse.
Love the collaboration with Byf
Im having a day, was wondering why a Byf video was playing when I clicked my Templin Video.
Love the crossover, let's hope we get more vids on the topic.
This is why I’ve stayed with destiny for 8 long years.. the story, the lore, the characters. No matter what the current meta gameplay is, I want to follow this story and characters I’ve grown to adore. And that’s why I’ll stay! Great work
Good placement of young wolf near the end. Gave great atmosphere.
The streams are crossing and I like it. Was so unexpected to hear both openings
Byf collabing with The Templin Institute? Godly content.
i didnt know i needed this crossover until now
MY BOY BYF??? Best crossover ever.
Didn't expect a special guest star, especially on a video related to Destiny. You should do more videos on the Destiny mythos.
This was great!
Ok... I wasn't expecting this!!!!
You spartans have a legendary bless day. God bless and happy holidays.
The Traveller never bothered before to give it's _uplifted races_ a heads up about the Darkness.
"Hey … better get your system fortified ASAP, here's what's coming."
That's another part of the Traveler's lore, the bet made with the Darkness: basically, the Traveler bet that given power without concrete communication, a civilization would choose to uplift itself to great heights while retaining the ability to protect itself, a gentle city surrounded by a ring of spears. So the Traveler never communicates directly with the civilizations it uplifted. The power they manifested was still substantial, it just wasn't enough to stop the Darkness. It only ever once spoke directly to anyone; that person was Clovis Bray, and basically it was to say, "Dude, what the fuck."
Byf collab hype! 😀
I love Byf. I love Templin Institute. Perfection.
Hmmm, that's some good lore🤔 May need to look at this more closely. Great video as always!
Destiny lore really needs more attention, I think it along with things like the visuals and music are extremely under appreciated and over looked.
This is the ultimate crossover.
Yes, anothor video about Destiny, and this time is a collab with My name is Byf, the loremaster of Destiny
Thank you Templin Insitute
Great to see Byf here as a guest Lecturer.
Nice. Now all I need is for Byf to do one on this channel about Clovis and Elsie Bray, the Exo Program and the battle to close the Vex Gate on Europa...
So canonically Byf is a Templin personal agent?
It’s more likely that he’s a independent specialist that is asked to give guest lectures to new agents that are researching this particular alternate universe.
Definitely seems like a very grim bright universe where things are shit, but actually CAN get better.
Great vid, was hoping for more on the actual battle, that was an amazing overview/preface though. The details are em truly epic. I remember watching his and myelin games vids on lore about, well everything destiny back in the day. Always great and entertaining, very informative for the world. Now I need to go back and watch some of them…possibly even reinstall destiny? Hmm…
When two of my favourite lore channels do a collab.... All is right with the world today.
So cool to see people outside of the destiny community be excited about destiny lore
I know nothing about destiny, RUclips just threw me here and got me very confused for a while, but hey, great video dude, top notch.
And thus, with all his might, the Lore Daddy arrives.
Hello, Nice to meet you byf
I really should try and get back into Destiny, I used to be massively into it and played it a ton but i've not done so for like two or three years, it's changed so much, so much more content I don't know if I can handle it...
Amazing video though!
Great Video 👍
This is awesome
Im just saying, it would be absolutely incredible to go to the fallen city of London to see the damage caused by the Eliksni, and perhaps refit it into a society for the Eliksni, considering the house of devils utilized it as their initial hq and base of operations before migrating to our resting place, old Russia
I mean europa is there as well, Eramis did alot of work to create an environment similar to that of Riis, She might have been misguided, but she was def not a bad person, she was looking out for her people, and Riis reborn could be a great new place, a new start for house of light.
@@bridge_four Yeah she was a bad person. In lore, the Exo Stranger came from an alternate Universe were Eramis allied with Darkness-infected Guardians and Cabal, and together, this Dark Alliance attacked the City and won, killing everyone and immediately began fighting eachother.
@@jakespacepiratee3740 It is hard to think of Erasmis as truly evil. She was one of the last of her people who had personally witnessed the height of her civilization reduced to ruins. An event that also saw her lose her only love. That loss galvanize her conviction to find a way to protect her people at any cost. Unfortunately she succumbed to the whispers of the Darkness and embraced its power. Corrupting her vision, and dooming her future.
She’s more of a tragic/fallen hero than a true villain.
Awesome......just Awesome👌
Byf and Templin? Hell yes.

Genuinely something I love about destiny is how it condenses what would be considered a universe worth of lore into....one single solar system. Sure things came from the wider galaxy, and for various reasons the solar system has been expanded (more habitable worlds because of the Traveler, the Reef) but it all takes place....right here.
Agreed, like one of the Bungie devs stated way back before even D1 launched, people just have a easier time engaging with a story that takes place in familiar locations.
Tho I personally agree with the speculation that once the light vs darkness arc is over with the final shape expansion I imagine we'll start experiencing adventures outside of Sol.
Per Audacia Ad Astra!
I'll see you starside 👍
Yasss some destiny content 👌🏻
Please do more on destiny
The eliksni houses are some of the most interesting villains in Destiny. Not only do they have their own cultures and backstories, but they also serve as a dark mirror of humanity should the Tower fail to protect the City. I remember a quote from Star Trek about how it’s easy to be a saint in paradise, and likewise, humanity has developed a prosperous society under the Guardians, but the eliksni never had Guardians and were forced to go to much more extreme lengths just to survive.
Live byfs channel. I really I joyed the way the institute done there videos it reminds me of another content creator and the way he does spc stories
Next crossover event:
Templin Arsenal series - The Touch of Malice
Byf battle lecture - Either The Great Disaster or The Battle of Saturn
This video is the ultimate culmination of LoreDaddies™ coming together.
A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
It's worth noting that when you have two or more functional groups who have developed the capacity to annihilate one another totally and utterly, and to execute this annihilation while being annihilated, playing by the rules suddenly becomes a lot more important, because if one of those groups feels sufficiently threatened, they'll just exercise the "total annihilation" option and then everybody loses.
You would make for a great Lore Guardian, My Name is Byf!
Oh my God it's Byf.
LORE DADDY WITH THE INSTITUTE, LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
3:20 there is also another theory is that RASPUTIN the strategist who calculated that without the Traveler humanity would not survive without the Traveler so when the Traveler tried to escape RASPUTIN threatened him with a orbital bombardment forcing the Traveler to stay and create the ghosts as a last ditch attempt to fend off the darkness
I like how The Drifter says he was at Twilight Gap. I wouldn't have clicked on this video if he hadn't.
It would be awesome to take on the Darkness on it's home turf and win.
Great video.
I Wonder if modern earth could survive a eliksni invasion
So a never ending universal conflict of geometric shapes
10:46 This implys that Eliksni work at the Templin Institute!
YOOOOOO IT'S BYF
Oh the pun is too good
