Friendly Cabal units throughout the entire raid too, like a raid that is a massive war. We've never had that before. Imagine it. Like maybe even put fail conditions sort of like Phase one of reckoning, so you have to kill enemies quickly to progress... there's so much possibility there.
The devs said they're not doing anything like Forsaken again, and I think modeling a new planet for a raid falls under that category. Although, they made Europa, so maybe.
Didn’t the guardians refuse to ally with the cabal? I don’t know why we would suddenly help them take their homeworld when we haven’t even taken back our own lol
I feel like Caiatl’s only hope for her people is peace with the Last City, and I think we’re going to see that pan out. Humans, Cabal, and Eliksni, all in the Last City as their gentle place ringed in spears. It won’t just be Humanity’s last city, but come the high water mark, all of civilizations.

The requirements to become Lightbearers are just Devotion - Sacrifice - Death with no race restrictions so maybe one day a Ghost may pick up a Cabal lol
Again, this is terrific darkness lore. But reading about it will never not be a let down rather than playing it or seeing it in a cinematic of some sort.
The thing that scares me the most is the fact that Xivu Arath and Savathun seem to be working together. Each of them alone is a nightmare. Together? We're gonna need all the help we can get.
This reminds me of the last mission of Season of the Hunt. Osiris questions why Xivu chooses the same place where Savathun cursed the Dreaming City, for the final ritual.
This channel brings so much nostalgia. I’ve been watching for 6 years. I remember when lore was so hard to learn and I think that’s why destiny 1 didn’t have as good of a story.
*mottled flesh* fUck man, whoever wrote that line knew how to creep their audience out. Fantastic work on this one Byf. Love the effort you put into this.
The Cabal were able to block out the light of our Traveller and Ghosts. So I wonder if it would be able to block out the Darkness in a similar way. If the Cabal managed to find a way to do that, tribute to Xivû Arath would be cut off and the hive probably would last that long without the Darkness of war feeding there worms.
Consider: destiny: The claiming of taurobatyl. An expansion where we go to the cabal homeworld to fight xivu arath's forces back and help the cabal reclaim their homeworld
Okay, LOVING your VFX for the hive whispers, really looking forward to seeing what else comes of it in the future :D Out of curiosity, what effects program are you using on it? Using live plugins and recording it raw, or applying the effects in post?
You see this lore is AMAZING but I'm just a little sad we don't get to see it in game like maybe a cutscene with torobatl in or maybe even getting to go torobatl itself I mean we don't even know what it looks like we got to see what Riis sort of looked like but yeah I'd love to see torobatl at some point
Next season will most likely be us making an alliance with house light or something to do with alliances with eliksni becuase it’s about high time misraaks gets recognition he deserves, no doubt in my mind that he is the true kell of kells
This thought just occured to me but I think the darnkess' drive to push every living thing towards death is going to be its downfall, because it's driving everything to The Traveler and the guardians and more or less we are gaining more allies faster than we are gaining new enemies, The Darkness is forging its own defeat through its actions, and I think thats also why The Traveler hasn't ran yet, because it realizes that too
I think one of the big reasons why the Traveler didn't run away during the collapse as it did all those times before was because it finally realized it couldn't keep doing that forever.
I completely see your point being valid about Caiatl. Savathun is on the way to become the next Oryx or already there and *2 in everything Hive and Taken are known for. Witch Queen is going to be the next big thing that ever happened in Destiny. I hope Bungie lands this well.
If the Cabal trued to retake Torobatl on their own they would definitely fail but I’m willing to bet the other reason Caiatl wanted to come to our system was to recruit the only beings that have successfully fought off the Hive and even killed their leaders
Unfortunate upload error. Anyways, the fall of the Cabal has become very interesting. I'm wondering if they are bluffing though? What if this is a trick to strike back? idk
Crazy idea, after Lightfall we really with huge numbers of Cabal and Elixni, both groups gets a handful of their own guardians, new enemy factions and races announced for the expansion afterwards and going into the next saga of Destiny
So I have a question about Chapter 5: New Gods. Savathûn says "Xivu Arath hear me, you are War, and I conjure you with War and Blood" right? The last time we heard language spefically like that was when Auryx conjured Savathûn with trickery and Xivu Arath with bloodshed after he killed them to gain thier power to destory the Amonite I beleive right? (Or was it the Ecumine? It was when he learned to Take and become Oryx no?) My question is this: We've heard next to nothing from Xivu Arath, then suddenly in Season of the Hunt, she shows up, not Warring, but Converting, Tricking...Seemingly working with or even for Savathûn. Was Xivu Arath dead? Is that why Savathûn sought out Nokris to learn Necromancy? To bring back Xivu Arath, binding this lesser god to her whim, and using her like blunt force trauma to damage our forces before she herself makes her big play? It's a long shot, but so so much doesn't add up between the last two seasons for me
There is something to your theory. Thing is, I dont remember when exactly, but at some point during Year 2 a bunch of Taken Hive Yellow Bars appeared, roaming around the Dreaming City, all wearing the suffix "son/daughter of Xivu Arath".
@@LtCWest Ah that'd be when I took a break from Destiny for one reason or another 😅 Though Sons and Daughters of a Character don't imply the Character lives...Nokris, son of Oryx and Hashladun, daughter of Crota both appeared after thier respective parents deaths
Only way that I can think of Cabal having a chance is if they can create, like they did for the Light, a distortion or shielding device against the Hive's magics. Maybe a trap that makes a soul incapable of returning to Ascended Realm after being killed in the physical? Never know what those Psions are capable of
Hey man, love your videos. Do you think you can give us a video or a post of your favourite weapons in the game to play with. I wanna know what are the weapons you're usually playing with. They seem pretty good
I remember reading a theory back in D1, "the Cabal and Fallen were originally allys, we don't see it because they're not on the same planets at once." 'Originally' as in like it was the original plan to Destiny. I've noticed they're going back to a lot of the original D1 concepts but I never thought they'd do this one again. Certainly not the theory "Cabal, Fallen, and Humanity will team up"
The fact that we get a mention of the god of war is insane to me, I love love love the hive lore and the fact that we get her mentioned made me a giddy school girl
@11:07 "For as long as you have worshipped war, you have worshipped me" Think of this in the context of the story, how Savathuun's influence is being more and more exposed in the tower, yet to fight it, vountarily or not, the tower chose a pact of peace with a race bent on war
So, I am left wondering if Umun'arath was somehow allied to Xivu Arath well before the mess started. I The source of my speculation is the ending of her name. It could be, since she was worried about the Hive before the coup, she took the name as her first step down the road of damnation. I guess it could be a happy accident.
I think Zavala will make a counter offer and with the guardians help will take back their homeworld. Imo, the vex still dwarf the taken/hive. Any enemy with time travel capabilities surpasses anything.
*Wait Byf is talking about the sword Caiatl used on Umun, and I do believe its the same sword that we seen her handing it to Zvala in one of these teaser trailers*
I think that Xivu Arath is the one that deceived Umun'arath. Remember "Warfare is based on deception". The part "A gift for my favorite sister" I think is a line where Xivu Arath delivered Umun'arath to Savathûn so that Umun'arath could be Taken!
And this why while Calus actions were flaw (mostly because they served more to satisfy his own self-image more the actual reform) going back to martial ways of old is also flawed.
15:04 Caiatl doesn't have any delusions about her chances without some kind of counter for the Hive's magic. That's why she wanted the Guardians on her side in the first place. Also, Cabal technology has been shown to be capable of stripping away cosmic powers before. In conclusion, with the right tools, retaking Torobatl is difficult but not impossible.
I honestly hope the one day that the last city, eliksni and cabal could just get along with each other at some point in the future. Humanity has been fighting on it’s own for too long, the fallen and the cabal both lost their home worlds to the darkness and everyone is fighting over scraps of land and resources just to survive. I hope at the end of this season that instead of killing caitl we make peace with her, and eventually with house light of the eliksni.
I think the next few weeks of the story will be telling if the Cabal will survive as a race in the Destiny universe. It sounds as if the new strike in the land tank is part of this challenge Zavala has made to her. If we win and become the deciding force of the conflict with the Cabal could we possibly looking at the combined Vanguard / Eliksni / Cabal force against the might of the Hive, Vex, Taken, and Darkness? I'm still not 100% sure the Vex will truly side with the Darkness unless the Sol Divisive can somehow rewrite them all to their side.
So what if Caiatl wants to do a trade with us? Like her majesty’s forces assists us in pushing back both the Hive and Darkness and in turn we assist them to push Xivu Arath’s forces from the Cabal homeworld? On one hand, we get to fight along side the cabal on their planet against some relentless hordes of hive. On the other we also see the darkness infused planets we lost. At most the endgame would be facing off hive and taken on the war moon just how the Moon quest for Scarlet Keep started.
Sorry that the thumbnail is having issues. Think this might be a RUclips side error. Still investigating.

If the Cabal trued to retake Torobatl on their own they would definitely fail but I’m willing to bet the other reason Caiatl wanted to come to our system was to recruit the only beings that have successfully fought off the Hive and even killed their leaders
Unfortunate upload error. Anyways, the fall of the Cabal has become very interesting. I'm wondering if they are bluffing though? What if this is a trick to strike back? idk
Crazy idea, after Lightfall we really with huge numbers of Cabal and Elixni, both groups gets a handful of their own guardians, new enemy factions and races announced for the expansion afterwards and going into the next saga of Destiny
So I have a question about Chapter 5: New Gods.
Savathûn says "Xivu Arath hear me, you are War, and I conjure you with War and Blood" right? The last time we heard language spefically like that was when Auryx conjured Savathûn with trickery and Xivu Arath with bloodshed after he killed them to gain thier power to destory the Amonite I beleive right? (Or was it the Ecumine? It was when he learned to Take and become Oryx no?)
My question is this: We've heard next to nothing from Xivu Arath, then suddenly in Season of the Hunt, she shows up, not Warring, but Converting, Tricking...Seemingly working with or even for Savathûn. Was Xivu Arath dead? Is that why Savathûn sought out Nokris to learn Necromancy? To bring back Xivu Arath, binding this lesser god to her whim, and using her like blunt force trauma to damage our forces before she herself makes her big play?
It's a long shot, but so so much doesn't add up between the last two seasons for me
There is something to your theory. Thing is, I dont remember when exactly, but at some point during Year 2 a bunch of Taken Hive Yellow Bars appeared, roaming around the Dreaming City, all wearing the suffix "son/daughter of Xivu Arath".
@@LtCWest Ah that'd be when I took a break from Destiny for one reason or another 😅
Though Sons and Daughters of a Character don't imply the Character lives...Nokris, son of Oryx and Hashladun, daughter of Crota both appeared after thier respective parents deaths
Only way that I can think of Cabal having a chance is if they can create, like they did for the Light, a distortion or shielding device against the Hive's magics. Maybe a trap that makes a soul incapable of returning to Ascended Realm after being killed in the physical? Never know what those Psions are capable of
Hey man, love your videos. Do you think you can give us a video or a post of your favourite weapons in the game to play with. I wanna know what are the weapons you're usually playing with. They seem pretty good
I still remember that one meme Lance Reddick did voicing Zalava throwing savage burns to Empress Caital.
I remember reading a theory back in D1, "the Cabal and Fallen were originally allys, we don't see it because they're not on the same planets at once." 'Originally' as in like it was the original plan to Destiny. I've noticed they're going back to a lot of the original D1 concepts but I never thought they'd do this one again. Certainly not the theory "Cabal, Fallen, and Humanity will team up"
Dam Xivu Arath is so destructive he even destroyed the thumbnail
I think Xivu is female
Yeah think so
According to the Lore tabs, she is.
But hey, so was Oryx before she became a he.
Dude, that voice mod for Savathun was terrifying!
The fact that we get a mention of the god of war is insane to me, I love love love the hive lore and the fact that we get her mentioned made me a giddy school girl
@11:07 "For as long as you have worshipped war, you have worshipped me" Think of this in the context of the story, how Savathuun's influence is being more and more exposed in the tower, yet to fight it, vountarily or not, the tower chose a pact of peace with a race bent on war
Caiatl has become my favorite character so far from an enemy faction.
Well, there is a way the could succeed: they need us.
The Savathun voice effect is excellent.
So, I am left wondering if Umun'arath was somehow allied to Xivu Arath well before the mess started. I The source of my speculation is the ending of her name. It could be, since she was worried about the Hive before the coup, she took the name as her first step down the road of damnation.
I guess it could be a happy accident.
As Master Oogway used to say: "There are no coincidences" ^^
@@LtCWest I am more partial to his less obscure quote: "Monke."
@@Jpipooly Return to Monke ^^
Through hardship, the stars.
I LOVE how you've represented Savathun's voice here. Fucking brilliant.
I think Zavala will make a counter offer and with the guardians help will take back their homeworld. Imo, the vex still dwarf the taken/hive. Any enemy with time travel capabilities surpasses anything.
*Wait Byf is talking about the sword Caiatl used on Umun, and I do believe its the same sword that we seen her handing it to Zvala in one of these teaser trailers*
Petition to get Bungie to give Byf the title of LoreMaster
Torobatl sounds like a sport ngl
I think that Xivu Arath is the one that deceived Umun'arath. Remember "Warfare is based on deception". The part "A gift for my favorite sister" I think is a line where Xivu Arath delivered Umun'arath to Savathûn so that Umun'arath could be Taken!
And this why while Calus actions were flaw (mostly because they served more to satisfy his own self-image more the actual reform) going back to martial ways of old is also flawed.
Crow is right. We should've left the Cabal to do their thing in Foothold, they just wanted revenge for what the hive did to Torobatl.
This is why the story is improving, the enemy’s have depth and we can see their point of view
@@barackobama6858 Exactly. I love the storytelling nowadays!
Savathûn feels like the most dangerous troller of all time.
Well we know that the scions can interact with vex probability machines that might give them an edge but I’m not sure it would be enough
15:04 Caiatl doesn't have any delusions about her chances without some kind of counter for the Hive's magic. That's why she wanted the Guardians on her side in the first place. Also, Cabal technology has been shown to be capable of stripping away cosmic powers before. In conclusion, with the right tools, retaking Torobatl is difficult but not impossible.
"Thats all from me for now" but I want more
Thanks for another awesome video!
What of you wanted to
Maintain your empire
But Xivu Arath said
*THERE IS ONLY WAR AND I AM THE WAR*
Bro literally. Fun fact. *IM THE FUN FACT BITCH WHAT YOU WANT*
I honestly hope the one day that the last city, eliksni and cabal could just get along with each other at some point in the future.
Humanity has been fighting on it’s own for too long, the fallen and the cabal both lost their home worlds to the darkness and everyone is fighting over scraps of land and resources just to survive. I hope at the end of this season that instead of killing caitl we make peace with her, and eventually with house light of the eliksni.
I think the next few weeks of the story will be telling if the Cabal will survive as a race in the Destiny universe. It sounds as if the new strike in the land tank is part of this challenge Zavala has made to her. If we win and become the deciding force of the conflict with the Cabal could we possibly looking at the combined Vanguard / Eliksni / Cabal force against the might of the Hive, Vex, Taken, and Darkness? I'm still not 100% sure the Vex will truly side with the Darkness unless the Sol Divisive can somehow rewrite them all to their side.
So what if Caiatl wants to do a trade with us? Like her majesty’s forces assists us in pushing back both the Hive and Darkness and in turn we assist them to push Xivu Arath’s forces from the Cabal homeworld?
On one hand, we get to fight along side the cabal on their planet against some relentless hordes of hive. On the other we also see the darkness infused planets we lost.
At most the endgame would be facing off hive and taken on the war moon just how the Moon quest for Scarlet Keep started.
God imagine Witch Queen starts with Torbtal jumping into system and that's our main battle ground against the hive sisters
It’s getting more likely that Torobatl might be the witch queen destination. Even though it is light years away
