Man, I love these videos. I am guy who mostly played solo and didn´t even have an exotic piece of gear until about a week ago, hell I don´t even have an exotic weapon yet. And for all that, it´s videos like these that keep me wanting to play Destiny. Seriously, this is some probably the best Destiny-related content on UA-cam. Keep up the amazing work.
These videos are absolutely amazing, nailing down the story in ways that the grimoire can't, and that the game itself won't. The problem is, even after knowing how deep this story goes, I want to see it in action. I don't want to run through a raid in the game, get pissed off because I didn't get any decent reward, and then watch one of these videos and think "Wow, what we just did was actually pretty amazing" before repeating steps one and two for weeks upon weeks. I want to see the story unfold in front of me, see characters develop and change through the course of that story. I want an active, personal role in the fight, not just one of many. What is the Darkness? Where did it come from? Why do its minions fight us, and also each other? Who are the Vanguard, Cayde-6, Ikora, and Zavala? Who is Toland, Kabr, Eriana-3, and the rest of the doomed fireteams? What is the Traveller, and how does the Speaker communicate with it? Are we buying it time so that it may heal and save us, or is it using us as a spear and shield to be thrown away in the end? I want answers, damn it! Thank god there are people like you who try their best to give us some.
Or is it using us to destroy its enemy's, a red flag. And then destroys us. Will we know. The Plague of Darkness. The traveller might soon reveal its true self
You killed it again. I just want you to know that myself and I'm sure many others really do appreciate how much effort you put into these videos. The modern era of youtube is filled with "let's plays" and casual commentaries while many people who put real effort and time into making shorter, fewer, yet many extraordinarily higher quality videos and their creators go unnoticed and/or do not receive the viewership, credit, and thanks they deserve. This channel (among a few others) gives me hope that some people can still appreciate high quality content rather than just filling their days with mildly interesting streams or commentary videos. I can hit the like button every time but that never felt like enough. So really Wallen, thank you sir.
another great piece of work Sir. Makes Crota's End mission sound better than it actually ended up being lol. again great work, this was deep. keep them coming!!!!
Wallen just so you know, your lore analysis has given me a new respect for the game. .. it has such an in depth story that I wish Bungie had in game, because if not for what youre doing with these videos most guardians wouldn't even know. Huge thanks and keep it up. Sir_stitch1 ps4
RRstitch05 its had the opposite for me. Hearing all this makes me wish Bungie just skipped the game and wrote a book. All this should have been told to us in the game.
I know I'm late, just been trying to find time to catch this one. You shines light on everything with this one. Awesome, I cant get enough lore, this game is so deep and the suspense is intense! Walt thanks for another great video my friend!
Im keeping all these lore videos bookmarked because they all start to explain every single piece of info in destiny no one else could explain!! THANK YOU!!!
You my friend keep me playing your voice plays through my head like as if you've preached those words to me I listen to these videos almost religiously lol destiny has been my life for a while you've made it better thank you.
I just have to say, I've watched your content time and time again and it never seems to fail me. You nail your interpretations and the facts that you provide are only the best. You my friend, are the soul reason that I still play and even understand this game, and for that I thank you. My only problem is that you don't make more videos:)thanks man.
Sir Wallen - Lore Seeker I love how you explain the lore of destiny, you give so much reality inspiration and potential to this game, even if you are reading exerts from the game you make it latch onto me and you make it stick.
You sir, are the missing link to destiny. The depth and structure of your lore explanations are truly epic. If you ever need an extra guardian for the fight, I'd be honoured to join you.
Dude I love your videos u go in to so much depth in the lore thAt it is just plain incredible props to u man and I hope u become a super success on youtube!
Awesome as always. U never disappoint with ur videos. Please keep them coming I've seem every single video u put out & I can't wait till the next one comes.
You are the reason why I love this game! By listening to this makes it so much more interesting to play. You are the greatest. Definetly the greatest subscribing-decision I made in life. Keep up the good work and bring more content to other fellow guardians, we thank you.
I love your videos man! I always get excited when I get the update that you've uploaded a video ahah. Your lore videos are excellent, they really got me into the game! Keep up the good work:)
Awesome vid as usual wally, not many youtubers take the time and actually reply to their subs, also do you think you"ll be doing a video on the different types of vex? (precursors and such)
Hey Wallen, great video. I was just thinking about other topics you could touch on. What about: - More Origins for the other enemy types of the game. You did a really good one for the Fallen, so why not the Vex or Hive. I know that some sources may be scarce and few, it could be an insightful topic. - Why not do a video about the Vanguard? Maybe you could explain each of the current Vanguard mentors? Or maybe try to dig up information on past Vanguard mentors, and how mentors are elected? - The Speaker. Seriously, we know literally nothing about the anonymous man who seems to be able to commune with the Traveller, our fallen god. Why not attempt to explain who he is, and dive into more theories than facts about him. You could be right about who he is, but you can't be wrong. It would be your own theory and nobody can take that away from you.
Matthew Reilly no not yet. Tho its pretty easy to think about where the hive come from. And who created them. The cabal tho we only know of one planet. Not a name to it but what it looks like. And maybe why they are here.
Wally, this is my theory on the darkness and its agents.. All of the different species represent a different form of god, much like the one of the Greek gods of olympus. The hive represent crota the god of death or Hades in Greek terms, the vex represent atheon or the titan of time kronus, the fallen represent the god of strength kratos and the Cabal represent the god of war Mars, my theory explaining why they fight each other is that they are at war for reasons unknown... So I'm expecting in the house of wolves expansion that we fight the fallen "god of strength" in the raid... I know that this isn't 100% foolproof but it makes sense to me in my mind...
Accauly ur quite right. Amazing I never or anyone haven't remebered or known that. Great info Wallen u should use the Is, The Forge of gods and Vex avoid any ideas on that
Zoomrat I did :P I should have said ares but, taken from Wikipedia(A Very Reliable source :P) In Greek mythology, Kratos or Cratus (Ancient Greek: Κράτος, English translation: "power") is the son of Pallas and Styx and the personification of strength and power. So it says that Kratos is a minor god, but considering that the next expansion is about the prison of elders, unless the awoken can hold a god, I don't think that we are going to be fighting a god.... D:
im not sure if you have anything else planned but here's a great idea. you shud do a video on the battle of twilight gap and how it affected the city and the various npcs in the tower. i remember reading a grimoire card saying lord saladin and lord shaxx dont get along anymore because of what happened in that battle. i wonder if there is more to that and why its now safe to be used in the crucible now. arent the enemies always at our doorstep?
Thank you for these. I get drawn into you story telling. (Easier to pass knowledge threw story than forcing memorization) You will make an excellent teacher. Please keep doing this
You should try to incorporate some dialogue from Rahool in this too. He has some very interesting tidbits of information if you catch him at the right moment. I passed by him once and heard him mention a record from Osiris that kept repeating "Oryx Dark King" over and over again.
Ikora Ray theorizes that their might be some relationship between the Vex Gate system and the Hive nether-worlds. The fact that the Undying Mind were to appear at this time can not be a coincidence.
But the Vex Gates are just a simple teleportation gate from somewhere the Vex already have control over. Personally I do think that it's a coincidence, since there's no way that the hive and vex could be connected, other than darkness.
man i NEED your videos in my life!!! i really love everything about them, you should really make such vids when bloodborne comes out that would be freakin awesome! keep up the good work dude, all the best! - a fan from saudi arabia
Wallen you make destiny fun. These videos really interest me and make me wonder what destiny would have been like without all the story cuts. You should be a writer for bungie so they get a real storyline going and maybe make the game more fun. You should keep these amazing videos up.
Informative and dramatic, very well done sir, I look forward to the next one. P.S. Crota is no more, he fell by my hand, and the hands of my bretheren. May his banishment from our realm serve as a warning to all who would challenge the weilders of the light.
I think you should be a voice actor for the next Destiny or a DLC. In Destiny you should be a person who knows everything, yet are forbidden to give information that will change the course of history.
I do hope we find or get some more legendary gaurdians to help us in these oncoming battles. Eris is one for Dark Below. A queen emissary for House of Wolves? Toland for plague of darkness would be cool.
Man they should be made your quote about a sword being a bridge the description of the swordbreaker shotgun cause man that just sounds awesome and dude I gotta know your source for this stuff because this is just amazing and I like this a lot......keep up the good work
Sir Wallen - Lore Seeker wow you should turn these into an audio book... these are well done i have to say, your narration is a amazing keep up the awesome work!!!!
Can u make a video regarding the fallen's connections to the reef and the queen? Perhaps u could describe the connections between the arkon priest and the reef too.
I think most people think all of these videos are merely speculation. You might want to clear up the confusion. At first I was confused about the vids, but then I checked the grimore cards myself and I realized what you were doing.
can you do a lore on the nine/the jovians, the twilight gap, the battle to take back the moon, or just the traveller? there is so much i wanna know about destiny lol
you only see the gatekeepers in the hive world with crota, what if they are spiritual hive and that is why you cannot kill them with conventional weapons, but only weapons from the world they exist in.
Can u guys imagine if the next destiny dlc is about the nine and xur is God 3x the size of oryx and when u kill him he drops all the exotics you bought from him when he was in the tower and the reef.
Man, I love these videos. I am guy who mostly played solo and didn´t even have an exotic piece of gear until about a week ago, hell I don´t even have an exotic weapon yet. And for all that, it´s videos like these that keep me wanting to play Destiny.

KSGamerz That's what I said, using us as it's weapon and protection until it has no use for us.
KSGamerz I feel like with comet, the truth about the traveller will be revealed.
Good show lad. From one lore buff to another, excellent video :)
AHHHH thenthapple omg dude I love your Fallout lore vids man o.o
You killed it again. I just want you to know that myself and I'm sure many others really do appreciate how much effort you put into these videos.

I can hit the like button every time but that never felt like enough. So really Wallen, thank you sir.
I just got to say again Wally, the way these are presented are so engaging. I love to get immersed in the lore videos
another great piece of work Sir. Makes Crota's End mission sound better than it actually ended up being lol. again great work, this was deep. keep them coming!!!!
Love your lore series Wally. Brings all the scattered Grimoire cards beautifully together
It would be awesome if Bungie could put you as a NPC called-"Wallen-The Lore Seeker" and you could get quests with Grimiore cards as rewards for them.
This is by far the coolest explanation of Crotas end to date. Damn sir wallen I LOVE your lore videos. Keep them coming!!
Wallen just so you know, your lore analysis has given me a new respect for the game. .. it has such an in depth story that I wish Bungie had in game, because if not for what youre doing with these videos most guardians wouldn't even know. Huge thanks and keep it up. Sir_stitch1 ps4
Well, I have a feeling the story can only get better.
Patience, what is told is meant to be told. More will be revealed later.
RRstitch05 its had the opposite for me. Hearing all this makes me wish Bungie just skipped the game and wrote a book. All this should have been told to us in the game.
I know I'm late, just been trying to find time to catch this one. You shines light on everything with this one. Awesome, I cant get enough lore, this game is so deep and the suspense is intense! Walt thanks for another great video my friend!
Im keeping all these lore videos bookmarked because they all start to explain every single piece of info in destiny no one else could explain!! THANK YOU!!!
You my friend keep me playing your voice plays through my head like as if you've preached those words to me I listen to these videos almost religiously lol destiny has been my life for a while you've made it better thank you.

You my friend, are the soul reason that I still play and even understand this game, and for that I thank you. My only problem is that you don't make more videos:)thanks man.
I would if I had more time, but sadly, I have to work a job and go to school at the same time. Such is life.
Sir Wallen - Lore Seeker I love how you explain the lore of destiny, you give so much reality inspiration and potential to this game, even if you are reading exerts from the game you make it latch onto me and you make it stick.
Great video again! I really love the effort and life you put into the Grimore data. Also your input in the Planet Destiny Podcasts is invaluable.
Love your videos as always. Also i loved your commentary on the podcast!
You sir, are the missing link to destiny. The depth and structure of your lore explanations are truly epic. If you ever need an extra guardian for the fight, I'd be honoured to join you.
Awesome video man!!! Loved the last monologue.
this was awesome dude, u put alot of effort into this :)
Dude I love your videos u go in to so much depth in the lore thAt it is just plain incredible props to u man and I hope u become a super success on youtube!
Once again, a fantastic job. Your reports continue to inspire me as a Guardian. Thank you.
Awesome as always. U never disappoint with ur videos. Please keep them coming I've seem every single video u put out & I can't wait till the next one comes.
You are the reason why I love this game! By listening to this makes it so much more interesting to play. You are the greatest.
Definetly the greatest subscribing-decision I made in life. Keep up the good work and bring more content to other fellow guardians, we thank you.
A beautiful ending again Wally! These videos always make me yearn to get back into the fray!
I like how you are the only destiny channel that does something different
I love your videos man! I always get excited when I get the update that you've uploaded a video ahah. Your lore videos are excellent, they really got me into the game! Keep up the good work:)
Okay okay... I will admit.... I teared a little at the end... But they were tears of pride!!!! Excellent work my fellow Guardian!!!
Awesome vid as usual wally, not many youtubers take the time and actually reply to their subs, also do you think you"ll be doing a video on the different types of vex? (precursors and such)
You are an amazing storyteller. I always look forward to your videos. Great work!!
I have to say man, this is your best video so far.
really, really been enjoying your lore vids! keep up the good work.
Great video again I get sucked into your storys man really nice
Hey Wallen, great video. I was just thinking about other topics you could touch on. What about:

It would be your own theory and nobody can take that away from you.
He made a origins for the vex
Oh, okay then. Well, tell me, did he do an Origins for for the Cabal and the Hive?
Matthew Reilly no not yet. Tho its pretty easy to think about where the hive come from. And who created them. The cabal tho we only know of one planet. Not a name to it but what it looks like. And maybe why they are here.
Fantastic video Sir Wallen, watching your vids is the highlight of my day
Great job man. I hope that you succeed sososo much more. I love these vids, and everything about them
In the picture at about 8:00, with the three guardians, I think the third one is holding the Fate of all Fools, which isnt available yet
Sweet vid once again Wally! Love this stuff, keep it up!!
Very intriguing. Like always, your videos are very great and thought provoking.
Wally, this is my theory on the darkness and its agents..
All of the different species represent a different form of god, much like the one of the Greek gods of olympus. The hive represent crota the god of death or Hades in Greek terms, the vex represent atheon or the titan of time kronus, the fallen represent the god of strength kratos and the Cabal represent the god of war Mars, my theory explaining why they fight each other is that they are at war for reasons unknown... So I'm expecting in the house of wolves expansion that we fight the fallen "god of strength" in the raid...
I know that this isn't 100% foolproof but it makes sense to me in my mind...
Accauly ur quite right. Amazing I never or anyone haven't remebered or known that. Great info Wallen u should use the
Is, The Forge of gods and Vex avoid any ideas on that
Kratos? hahahahahahahahah
JGO Destiny and more! did you say Greek and then say Mars xD the Greek god of war is Ares, Kratos isn't even a god
Zoomrat I did :P I should have said ares but, taken from Wikipedia(A Very Reliable source :P) In Greek mythology, Kratos or Cratus (Ancient Greek: Κράτος, English translation: "power") is the son of Pallas and Styx and the personification of strength and power. So it says that Kratos is a minor god, but considering that the next expansion is about the prison of elders, unless the awoken can hold a god, I don't think that we are going to be fighting a god.... D:
JGO Destiny and more! there is no raid
dude, your voice is so captivating, great job!
You've made my accomplishment of defeating Crota on hard mode all the more satisfying even if it was two weeks ago. Can't wait for the next one.
This was beautiful, thank you.
Great Content. I love your explanations of the Destiny lore.
Crota wins even If you kill him.The rng will make sure of that.
Carzeyday "WHERE"S THE CRUX!"
Always nice to come back and look at what was important to destiny players during the old days crazy how we went from this to pyramids.
Thank you for showing me these amazing stories in destiny
im not sure if you have anything else planned but here's a great idea. you shud do a video on the battle of twilight gap and how it affected the city and the various npcs in the tower. i remember reading a grimoire card saying lord saladin and lord shaxx dont get along anymore because of what happened in that battle. i wonder if there is more to that and why its now safe to be used in the crucible now. arent the enemies always at our doorstep?
That would make a good video especially if he got an animator to make some of the more important scenes in the battke
where did the picture at 4:34 come from? it kind of looks like the Trenchway in the Dreadnaught in ttk aha :O
Wallen your voice is fantastic!Thanks for these awesome videos!!
Another excellent video, keep em coming and thanks!
Thank you for these. I get drawn into you story telling. (Easier to pass knowledge threw story than forcing memorization) You will make an excellent teacher. Please keep doing this
Awesome work Wally.
Awesome video as always
Great video Wallen! love watching your lore videos. Will there be another destiny podcast out soon? really enjoy watching those
Hell ya, every thursday we record them, and they go out on Fridays each week.
sounds Great, keep up the great work anyway, videos are top quality:)
Bungie should pay you for making these.
I'm in the process of writing a book about this. This'll help a lot do you mind if I use it as reference?
Of course be my guest!
Thanks man! Love your content
amazing stories every time I need one. thank you mr wallen!
This is great! Keep up the good work!
You should try to incorporate some dialogue from Rahool in this too. He has some very interesting tidbits of information if you catch him at the right moment. I passed by him once and heard him mention a record from Osiris that kept repeating "Oryx Dark King" over and over again.
have you done a lore on the hunter that followed kabar into the vault?
Yeah another awesome vid keep them coming they're the best.
Ikora Ray theorizes that their might be some relationship between the Vex Gate system and the Hive nether-worlds. The fact that the Undying Mind were to appear at this time can not be a coincidence.
But the Vex Gates are just a simple teleportation gate from somewhere the Vex already have control over. Personally I do think that it's a coincidence, since there's no way that the hive and vex could be connected, other than darkness.

P.S. Crota is no more, he fell by my hand, and the hands of my bretheren. May his banishment from our realm serve as a warning to all who would challenge the weilders of the light.
That ending speech was awesome man really made me feel like me and my raid group could destroy Crota
How did Crota die the first place for him needing to be revived in the Dark Below campaign?
I think you should be a voice actor for the next Destiny or a DLC. In Destiny you should be a person who knows everything, yet are forbidden to give information that will change the course of history.
At 9:00 what are those creatures? Please reply I'm very curious
I believe it is Hive Concept art.
Why do you make this sound so badass? Thank you it's awesome you always make me want to play
You know what I have always wondered?
Why is Crotas Sword in The Sword Of Crota so tiny? Small enough for a Guardian.
Likely his physical body in our world isn't much bigger then a regular knight like we see in the trailer.
You just gotta love game lore it opens a new world of view in games
Great video. I haven't done this raid yet, this adds hype and I want to do it right now
So much information, thanks and also can you do a lore video of the thorn? please
10:20 That Knight picture reminds me of the Bionis from Xenoblade Chronicles. Anyways, great video! :D
great video sir wallen
I do hope we find or get some more legendary gaurdians to help us in these oncoming battles. Eris is one for Dark Below. A queen emissary for House of Wolves? Toland for plague of darkness would be cool.
Toland died in the hellmounth
And now we get the taken king
I reckon thrall are things killed by the swords outside of the weird dimension that Crota exists in
Man they should be made your quote about a sword being a bridge the description of the swordbreaker shotgun cause man that just sounds awesome and dude I gotta know your source for this stuff because this is just amazing and I like this a lot......keep up the good work
Sir Wallen - Lore Seeker wow you should turn these into an audio book... these are well done i have to say, your narration is a amazing keep up the awesome work!!!!
Too bad terra mantis stealing your thunder
Yours are still better though
Really men you are the best lore UA-camr ever
Will you do an updated version of this when(if) new lore comes to bear in the Fallen King?
Can u make a video regarding the fallen's connections to the reef and the queen? Perhaps u could describe the connections between the arkon priest and the reef too.
ok that got downright epic at the end.
I think most people think all of these videos are merely speculation. You might want to clear up the confusion. At first I was confused about the vids, but then I checked the grimore cards myself and I realized what you were doing.
excellent video your narration is top notch
can you do a lore on the nine/the jovians, the twilight gap, the battle to take back the moon, or just the traveller? there is so much i wanna know about destiny lol
or dire ahamkara
Anyone else notice the sword of the sword bearers looks taken?
Extremely enjoyable Wallen!
Do you guys think the big expansion coming in September has something to do with Oryx? Wally what do you think?
You are so dope you can tell story so well
That last part was amazing
you only see the gatekeepers in the hive world with crota, what if they are spiritual hive and that is why you cannot kill them with conventional weapons, but only weapons from the world they exist in.
Do you have a certain link that you can share
to all these destiny concept art images? Or do you keep that to yourself?
Where do you get all your background music? some of it is really amazing!
Can u guys imagine if the next destiny dlc is about the nine and xur is God 3x the size of oryx and when u kill him he drops all the exotics you bought from him when he was in the tower and the reef.
3:55 the titan is holding fate of all fools
Are we ever going to fight oryx
