You give every character in the game a reason for me to feel deeply invested in them. Suddenly, that first week of seeing Petra in the tower is a LOT more awkward.
Music Used: Track 1: The Dreaming City Track 2: Watchtower Track 3: Keep of Voices Track 4: Shaper of Wishes Track 5: Of Starlight and the Dark Track 6: Mists of Memory (If Byf was able to squeeze in Uncorrupted and Accursed, he would've had every Dreaming City track in this video) But that's okay :)
Batman Arkham Central have you even read lore??????? Uldren was nothing but obsessed with his sister, doing everything she asked of him, didn't matter if it were to kill him. He cared for no one but Mara, everyone else meant nothing to him
"I had a dream last night. I was hunting with the Queen on great white horses in a field of black flowers, and then... well... it was a good omen." -Petra Venj
Wouldn't it be great if Byf's videos have the actual voice actors/actresses saying the lines whenever a passage from lore tabs would feature known characters? I'm sure its a whole lot of process to collaborate with them but thinking of Queen Mara and Petra actually hearing them for this lore tab gives me the chills. Great content nonetheless!
I would think some deep dive lore videos into the guardian classes would be interesting. Namely warlocks and what they actually do outside of fighting. Such as being scientists of the light and studying other magics. Titans and the way they get such strength and armor. Hunters and their ranger like and rogue like qualities. Also how supers are created. Do all guardians just have the same abilities or did guardians of the past figure out how to wield the light in those ways such as creating weapons in their hands or throwing balls of anti matter.
I want to know why the prophecies of Osiris fell to the way side they didn't all come to pass in the red war. I believe you should compare them to current and future events to see how they line up if they do at all. The future of the game could be written in them
Your dictation of Mara's lines in that section of the lore book were very well done. That was just about the exact same tone that she uses when she speaks.
Awesome video mate. I was always intrigued by the Awoken culture and lore. I would love to hear more about the City's awoken like Commander Zavala and other Awoken Guardians and why aren't they on the reef or with Mara Sov?
They where awoken who came to Earth's defense, despite Mara's orders not too. They where revived as guardians so they don't remember their old lives, thus hold no conviction to her, thankfully
@@maniacaltwit Thank you very much mate. It was a blunt lore you gave me, but still a welcomed one. Were the Awoken a race in it self or did they evolve from humans into Awoken? And if so, how?
@@RazKob33 They where humans planning to leave the system and start anew without the traveller. The darkness itself found them,somehow they made a deal and the Darkness threw them into a portal, dumping them on the site of the dreaming city. Whatever this encounter did, it changed them from human to awoken. Mara is kinda speaking literally when saying 'my mother is starlight and my father Darkness'. Both light and dark combined to create the awoken, who balance both. Byf has gone into detail on this in a past video
Imagine the dreaming city story concludes with a raid called queens fall where everyone goes in thinking savathun will be the final boss but when you get to the final boss its mara instead
When reading out lore entries it'd be really awesome if you could have them stay on the screen until you've read them fully, this way we can all follow them much better
Not sure if someone has already said this, as it seems bit obvious but I think that Maras reason for sending Petra to the tower is twofold, 1st, even if she doesn't really care for the guardians or the last city, she still sees us as valuable asset/ally and/or that she can't afford to make enemies with the vanguard or guardians. And 2nd, bit cliche maybe but,to teach Petra a some lesson about working with others and how different the Guardians are to the awoken. And perhaps to make some friends or something among the vanguard. So when Petra sent that letter to Mara, she was like, "eh, close enough." and not too sure what the timeframe is between Petra returning from her exile/punishment and Sjur Idos death.
Damn that teaser for a big sjur eido saga. Can't wait byf 😁👌still hoping you'll have enough time for that April 1st release on the lore of that Gambit legend from the drifter video footage. That will be a huge reveal i can feel it!
I know you have a lot on your plate at the moment, but at some point I would like to have a discussion on Eris; where she is now, what she’s up to, what her role in the Queen’s “Plan” is. I know most of that information will be purely speculative at the time of writing but those potentialities will likely dictate future events with the Hive and Taken
You should make podcasts of some sort. either upload the audio of your episodes to spotify or just crate a destiny themed talk show. Im sure it would be a hit!
Byf! I'd be super interested to know more about Medusa, the lore we get from the Queen's Court chests is fascinating and I'd love to get your take on what this all means for the Guardians and the Traveler.
Hey Byf, love your work as always. I know you're focusing on all the lore in D2 right now, but I was wondering about whether or not you're gonna finish the Books of Sorrow videos? Not that I'm complaining much, I just wanted to know.
Is there any chance you'd make a video explaining Clovis Bray? I'd love to hear your thoughts on their exploits and generally start unraveling their mysteries.
Hey byf hope you're feeling well. Just a quick question, any updates on the books of sorrow lore videos? They are by far my favorite lore videos next to thorn and the last word. Keep making great content and cant wait to see what comes next. I'll see you star side.
Idk if I’m realizing this late or nobody’s talked about it or I just haven’t heard people talk about it, but I feel like the events in the dreaming city are just a cover up so that quaria( however you spell it’s name) can try to simulate the guardians for savathun
In the queens court as you walk up to her turn to your left and there is a parkour course along the cliffside and at the end you inspect something and there is a lore about a conversation between the queen and an awoken Alice right after the dreadnought destroyed all of the ships with that blast thing. Don’t remember what it was called didn’t play d1 🙁
Did I miss a Last Wish Raid video or has there not been one? It feels weird not knowing what happened in it. I've been holding out for a Byf video on it.
one of the questions I have is how did the elinski get so far in life, when they first appeared did they have the servidors? or did there diet change over time?...
My understanding is that all Eliksni were similar to Dregs at some point or that they used a more natural resource for their diet. When the traveler brought a golden age to them they created the Servitors to produce a synthetic nutrition supplement called Ether. Ether then replaced their regular diet over time. I don’t know if anything on this is stated explicitly but that’s my best guess.
Thinking about getting back into Destiny 2 after I heard Bungie split with Activision. Maybe it's not the best choice to open that can of worms on a lore video, but I do like this community and was wondering if others were considering the same?
The Queen: Wrath
Byf, An Intellectual: Roth
You give every character in the game a reason for me to feel deeply invested in them. Suddenly, that first week of seeing Petra in the tower is a LOT more awkward.
Petra's a badass
Nice to see you are getting into the lore scene. I love your pvp videos.
Music Used:
Track 1: The Dreaming City
Track 2: Watchtower
Track 3: Keep of Voices
Track 4: Shaper of Wishes
Track 5: Of Starlight and the Dark
Track 6: Mists of Memory
(If Byf was able to squeeze in Uncorrupted and Accursed, he would've had every Dreaming City track in this video)
But that's okay :)
Breshi mists of memory is one of my favorites
Dude you're a hero.
Do you happen to know what he uses for his outro? I've been on the search for what it is for a while and can't find it
@@ElohimEssaim It's definitely not Destiny music. That's all I know though.
Breshi thanks, its not a YTbers duty at all to do this. ;]
I love how you stopped at the sight of a exotic.
Timestamp(?)
Sorry man or woman can’t remember
@@LockeLynx 12:40
Sounds like Uldren was a nice guy years ago.
@Mastro 5 he suffered delusions that were caused by riven
Even since he showed hatred toward Guardians, he has never been a 'nice' guy, at all.
Lilz.MonkeyBoy In the lore he seems to be kind to awokens.
He was always nice to the Awoken
Batman Arkham Central have you even read lore??????? Uldren was nothing but obsessed with his sister, doing everything she asked of him, didn't matter if it were to kill him. He cared for no one but Mara, everyone else meant nothing to him
"I had a dream last night. I was hunting with the Queen on great white horses in a field of black flowers, and then... well... it was a good omen." -Petra Venj
The Awoken remind me of a mix between the Elves from LOTR and Amazons.
Petra is a badass and even Cayde said she has a "Blast Radius" That line makes Cayde's teasing comment even more "Caydeish"
The background gives so much context to their relationship and why Petra's dialog is in such a service of showing her constant devotion to her queen.
Glad you're going into more Awoken lore, it's always intriguing.
Byf speaks and I see it all, as clear as daylight.
can you do toland and why his Echo is in the dreaming City?
Deadman Studios unfortunately, we don’t have much information. He keeps dropping hints about what’s going on, but nothing about himself.
ITS SAVATHÜN I TELLS YA
@@ryankendall3716 he might be trying to help us in a way, warning us about things to come, things he's seen in dreams probably
Over 300 views out 40 seconds. This is great.
Excellent narration. I got chills.

I've been wanting a video like this since vanilla d1
I think the dreaming city and its story are very interesting so pls make more videos about this
Honestly Byf is a great way to play while relaxing on D2 thanks for all the hard work that goes into all of your vids.
I vote Byf as the new Speaker.
I want to know why the prophecies of Osiris fell to the way side they didn't all come to pass in the red war. I believe you should compare them to current and future events to see how they line up if they do at all. The future of the game could be written in them
wait what
I cannot tell you how much I appreciate the videos.
Hey Byf, you should create a playlist for these, "Stories from the Dreaming City"
May the hunt be good!
Amazing video like always Byf!!
Enjoyed it the majestic lore of the awoken
Marasenna and the history of the awoken is my FAVORITE story in all of Destiny. I am so very excited to hear what you have to say about it.
Your dictation of Mara's lines in that section of the lore book were very well done. That was just about the exact same tone that she uses when she speaks.
to be in a world where Petra is stationed in the tower must've been super cool
Awesome video mate. I was always intrigued by the Awoken culture and lore. I would love to hear more about the City's awoken like Commander Zavala and other Awoken Guardians and why aren't they on the reef or with Mara Sov?

@@maniacaltwit Really, thank you mate. I'm going to try and look through Byf's lore videos more meticulously.
@@RazKob33 your welcome mate, good luck!
Glad to see you back Byf, what do u think about Bungie dropping Activision?
I look forward to your stream more than any other source of media, thank you again for what you do.
Byf. How in the name of god does ur voice still sound so good at 144p
Sam_V_Murray that’s..... that’s not how it works......
@@nostop7794 Gotta up the audio resolution
Junkyboar38 because picture resolution has no affect on sound quality.
Marvelous. Fascinating story of Petra. Well done thank you byf
Great, great great video man.
I do very much enjoy it when you read the lore narratives.
Imagine the dreaming city story concludes with a raid called queens fall where everyone goes in thinking savathun will be the final boss but when you get to the final boss its mara instead
Kieran Ford that would be sick
Would be cool, but not likely. And the queen may be powerful but against a guardian? Would feel more like a strike
@@exmachina1405 true but if she did take oryx's place she would have the taken, awoken, and techeuns on her side, maybe ever guardian uldren
When reading out lore entries it'd be really awesome if you could have them stay on the screen until you've read them fully, this way we can all follow them much better
You just know how to tell a story, I love your work. Take care.

Whenever Truth to Power is fully out, or even before that if you decide, please go over all that. I would love to hear your new perspective on it.
Wonderfully done Byf. I haven't heard this lore story yet.
I would love to see a video about the Black Armory
a 15 minute lore video. always good
Damn that teaser for a big sjur eido saga. Can't wait byf 😁👌still hoping you'll have enough time for that April 1st release on the lore of that Gambit legend from the drifter video footage. That will be a huge reveal i can feel it!
Oh hell yeah, Byf’s doing the Marasenna
Boy u ain’t slick I saw u get that forsaken exotic
Will be very interested in all of the content comming !! Top man byf !
Beautiful as always.
Petra venj is honestly my favorite character in destiny at the moment tbh
I really want that the Corsair Down thing was more serious because it's really fun
Thanks for the story. Stories of Destiny with Byf.
Great video as always Byf. Really enjoyed the Saint14 project/Projectguardian podcast as well 👍

How did she lose her eye?
I can only imagine it was from fighting the Fallen at some point. Judging by the scars on her face we see in the Forsaken Cinematic.
I didn't think about that
Ethan Schulze last time she trusted someone, she lost an eye
Scratched by a cat
One hour and already over 7k views. Awesome! Looks like everyone wants to know more about petra
Amazing as always.
Loved it. I eagerly await your next video
Love your videos Byf!!
God i love long lore video series but i hate the wait then I just end up thinking about it until the next one in the series
12:40 BYF flexing with that chromatic fire drop, I'm jealous
Great stuff. Petra is a cool character, if one sided. Looking forward to more! ✌️🎉
10/10 performance big guy, more please.
I can't wait for the Art Work. :)
Can we hear about how Petra moves through the dreaming city instantaneously whenever it's Tuesday lol
Love your lore videos! Keep up the good work!
Any idea on raid lore episodes, there always your best work in my opinion
I see you got the Sunbracers’ ornament. Good on ya
Love your work.
Man, the awoken have sooo much faith on their city and Mara
Love your content byf, keep up the great work!!!
The only thing I want to hear is the correct (or at least) in game pronunciation for Dredgen ;) can't wait for the next video!
Great video!!
Alright time to grab my huuuuge bowl off snacks and popcorn boys!
Keep up the great work BYF👍
You're awesome Byf! Watched a copy cat yesterday that does the same type stuff. But it wasn't you buddy. You do this the best!!!!
It’s awesome how Petra had a tragic beginning story to end up becoming a badass.
You just have a blast radius pv
Second queen?! Well that's a surprise I didn't see coming....im serious, I didn't even think Mara would leave
Love your vids man cant stand not listening to anyone else

Jealous that you got Chromatic Fire after that mission. Great job.
whats that bow and how do i get it??
what sacrifice doth the RNG gods demand for that??
Wish bow
What up notification squad!
360p gang

Do more lore on the drifter
