Focused Fire Chat, a Destiny Lore Podcast

The much awaited re-cast of the first episode is here! Episode "1.5" as we've taken to calling this one, brings Blue, Justin, Willy, and our favorite Sultry Tiger himself, Byf back together to discuss and explore the extensive lore behind the mysterious warlock, Osiris. With the plethora of new information offered, and the numerous requests for the flagship episode, it's a longer one - but a chat that we hope you'll enjoy. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy the discussion of what truly drives a warlock to madness...as well as a healthy dosage of debate on the nature of the parallels that this prominent figure from mythology has with the Destiny universe and the potential hints that such influences might hold for the future of this tale we've all come to enjoy exploring every week.

Episode 18 brings Blue, Justin, & Willy together once more to examine the lore behind the legendary figure of Lord Saladin Forge, who oversees the indomitable Iron Banner in memory of the Lords of Iron. Following the lead of the chat, we delve into the stories of the Lords of Iron and the Iron Wolves, asking question of if these powerful figures the same? Or are they two separate groups of battled hardened warriors of the Light who refused to see eye-to-eye on some unknown topic and pitted their unbreakable oaths against not only each other, but themselves? And you're going to love the weekly Paean revelation - for even in the fiery depths of the Iron Banner, there is a song to be heard.

Episode 17 brings Blue, Justin, Willy, and our friend from Planet Destiny's own lore team, Mike S. together to explore the available information we have on the Exo Stranger (the same topic that started this whole dive into spinfoil-filled darkness). While there, at first, seems to be a lot left unknown about the Exo Stranger, the chat begins to dig into the meat of what pieces we do have access to...and what that information begins to unveil about this enigmatic character within the Destiny universe. Fair warning, there is also the revelation of Willy's strong anti tiger-people feelings (or even...a potential aversion to the anthropomorphic animal characters in general) and quite a bit of delving into the wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey nature of some of the ideas/concepts that the Exo Stranger forces players to address.

Episode 16 brings Blue, Justin, and Willy together once more to delve into the lore surrounding the Titan class of Guardians within Destiny. Prepare for a long one, folks - there's a ton of information (along with a detailed account of Willy's true spinfoil tale of Paean's adventures) and even though we started an hour early, the show went to it's normal cutoff time. We break down just about everything that we could think of regarding the basic information for the Titan class (ranging from subclass information all the way to the known Orders, Hosts, and most of the lesser known individual Guardians).

Episode 15 brings Blue, Justin, and Willy back together to chat about the elusive Nine. After apologies for the delay (Blue came down with a pretty serious bug), the team jumps into the details that we have access to from the Grimoire. Given the limited amount of information that we have, we actually manged to get through the majority of the discussion points pretty quickly - which surprised everyone...and allowed Justin to regale us once again with a more focused presentation of his Dragon theory. This of course meant that each of the team had to respond in kind - so get ready for some fun spinfoil in the last half of the episode!

Episode 13 brings Blue, Justin, Willy, and our friend from across the pond, My Name is Byf together to chat about the Ahamkara & the Worms. In the same vein as last chat, spinfoil begins to accumulate quickly from the start - with so much information and so little confirmation, there is a fair amount of enjoyable conversation about not only the nature of the two entities, but their unclear connection to one another. Blue does manage to do better this time around with those pesky words - though don't be surprised to hear a few favorite theories about a particular singer (or is it a song?) and a luminous warlock. And wait till the end to hear an awesome outro by Byf for the team!

Episode 12 brings Blue, Justin, Willy, and a special guest and friend, BelleBunny together to chat about the Hunter class of Guardians from within the Destiny universe. Shenangians and spinfoil are unavoidable in this round - so get ready for a lot of enjoyable debates about the nature of Light, a quick glimpse into the nature of the infamous Dredgen Yor and Jaren Ward debate, and a lot of laughter about Blue's sleep deprived attempts to pronounce certain words.

Episode 11 brings Blue, Justin, Willy, and our resident Halo guru, PensHALO together to discuss the basic underlying timeline of the HALO universe in our first foray outside of Destiny. We manage to cover an impressive amount of time within the game world, starting with the Precursors and ending at the events which occur at the end of Halo 2. 

Prepare for a bit longer chat than normal though - it's an enormous amount of information to cover, though Pens makes it look easy.

Episode 10 brings Blue, Justin, Willy, and guest Gl1tch W1tch together to discuss the three playable races of the Destiny universe: Humans, Exos, and Awoken. While noting that many of the more intricate details and theories will need to be revisited in the future, we delve as much as we can into the stories and theories that the Grimoire cards present to us. Excuse a slight jarring as we hit a bit of internet turbulence near the end of the chat, but we pressed on and managed to get the majority of the information and discussions which occurred in the chat last week recorded.
