Byf is the Warlock that makes regular visits to the City, telling stories to the children and the citizens around a fire. He takes requests for stories, but saves the best ones for special occasions, such as holidays, great victories, or birthday requests. Byf is the most popular and beloved Warlock in the Last City, because his knowledge and stories give the people, give the CHILDREN, hope for the future.

A good, old-fashioned Gunslinger's tale. The legendary hero falls from grace, becomes a legendary villain, and kills the hero who rises to replace him, but the third hero, who rises up to replace the second, is stronger. Two guns match, and Karma, God, or raw skill guides the hero's hand. The tale comes full circle.
It is a God, though not the one you are thinking of. If the Traveller was not a good, Rezzyl Azzir was. And he is, in a sense, the greatest god we get. The Books of Sorrow were a map. A map to us. But the Seventh book was a map to divinity. Yor learned this, and his ship and cannon know it. Yor’s ship is locked in place over that ridge, and it will forever. Because Yor ascended. Do you know how God’s are born? A legend becomes, *more* to the world. Yor knew this, as does Shin. Nothing ends, each legend rises to replace another. Save Yor. Rezzyl was surpassed by Saladin, Radeghast, and other Iron Lords, and than by Saint-14, Shaxx and Zavalla. And than by Us. But the Shadow of Yor remains. Dredgen Cull was to rise to the challenge, but failed. No one has replaced Yor. No one can. And thus, his legend remains. As does his Godhood. But in the end, he choose death. He wanted the Sword Logic to be ingrained into the soul of all. And he led Shin to the Sword. The Master’s blade, after all.
Byf is just an Old Warlock sitting telling stories to Children at the Tower. With Audio Tapes, from other Guardians acting it out. It would be cool if he would take that he is cool seriously

First, the most toxic guardian in history was actually a Striker Titan the whole time, and I find that hilarious. Second, Jaron Ward is literally the Arizona Ranger.
Ghosts are not completely "good". They are made from the traveler after it got shot by rasputin because the traveler was about to abandon our civilization. Yors ghost probably sided with him. He could have killed him like most ghosts during the dark ages.
@@moscolito1881 There is no evidence that Rasputin actually fired on the traveller to cripple it. It was one of the options it considered, but I think most signs point to Rasputin never actually taking that course of action. The Traveler was already crippled on Earth, and expended nearly all of its light to defeat the darkness at the end of the collapse, it released the ghosts as a final action before going to sleep. Byf actually discussed this in one of his recent videos. It wasn't the topic of an entire video, but he was discussing Rasputin in one of the videos about this season, and he talks about whether or not Rasputin fired on the Traveller or not.
@@frasermcmahon888 I think seeing crota would make more sense, otherwise we surely would’ve known there was something under the surface of the moon, but then again that would make sense and bungie aren’t very good at that.
I have a feeling it was the ship too cause in the yor lore it was around the time of the great disaster and that all moon missions stopped cause of Crota
This level of story telling for a non bungie commissioned is astonishing, you really should be heavily supported by the studio since you bring so much understanding to their lore. I really hope some days they'll realize how valuable you are.

perhaps Shin became a Guardian because Jaren's death was an extremely rare type of death. We know a Guardian can die permanently if they lose their Ghost, Cayde for one example. But the OG Thorn had a unique property where it could drain the light from a Guardian it kills, this prevents them from being resurrected and leaving Jaren's Ghost not connected to a Guardian, so perhaps this basically reset her connections and allowed her to choose Shin as her new Guardian. For We know he became one since he could use Golden Gun. And Jaren's Ghost is the only one we've heard accompany Shin. But this is just my theory.
I think ghosts can rez anyone really. In the pigeon and phoenix lore book Osiris slays a risen who was using his powers to hurt others. He was able to ask the man's ghost why he would choose someone so awful and we learned from Sagira that the ghost was scarred, they needed someone strong and chose them, even if they weren't worthy. They then send the ghost off to the traveler to find his actual guardian.
IIRC, Shin was basically a stillborn, got rezzed by a Ghost, and that ghost later died. So he had latent Light, and his bond with Jarren may have just been the "spark" he needed to become truly worthy of Jarren's Ghost after his passing.
Let me help yall. you see when shin was born, he was almost stillborn but by a miracle in night, he was revived with traveler's light. In the event jaren died, he was chosen to become a guardian, because of said light.
This is a prime example why, in my opinion, Byf is THE destiny lore youtuber. There simply is no equal in method of storytelling the destiny universe. This was just amazing.
Sir wallen matches his story telling and him role-playing as his own warlock chronicling the lore is very neat but the voice actors and art in byf's are top notch
Hearing Dredgens ghosts voice get more and more desperate and sad really sets the tone for how falling really affects guardians. It’s quite terrifying honestly
Itd be dope if they added Byf in as a character in the next Destiny, you just see his Guardian sitting in a chair surrounded by Children or other Guardians and he is just reading stories. Let's make this happen Bungie lol Edit: Geeze, lots of likes makes me think this is a popular idea. I'll make a Petition for Bungie to do this. They probs won't listen but it'd be dope. I'll post link l8r.
I love how these 2 guns are so connected in the lore and in actual play. They were so dominant for so long in D1 that its almost perfect that bungie never balanced them in year 1. We all got to play out this lore over and over in the crucible.
Dredgen Yor's voice actor, Connor Cronus, is absolutely on point in this, his inflections and tone are just perfect.Blessious also does a pretty good job as shin malphur,and Moonvalds voice is just Bewitching to listen too. This was an absolutely amazingly awesomely done episode Good Job guys.
@xen but pride told him he could be incurrupted. He wouldn't have gone in if he knew what he would turn into. He believed to be the strongest light he knew, beyond light. While it was the opposite. He was one of lights darkest shadows.
@@michael99765 the problem is, he was beyond caring when palpatine revealed himself. He was torn between doing the right thing, or gaining the power to save padme. So when he disarmed Mace he chose the power to save her, and willing let the darkness in, because all that mattered now was her life and nothing more.
HI GUYS! 3 things to note! 1) RE: Dredgen Yor vs Rezyl Azzir (hunter vs titan). I hope I've given what is a good explanation of the relationship between these two characters. However! The idea behind the character up until the Rezyl reveal was entirely that the identity of Yor and his class would be a subject of debate. So discuss this! We might know the fuller story but it's still an interesting thing to talk about. What makes a titan or a hunter? What makes a class archetype? Can titans aside from Saladin wear cloaks? Does someone with the same body have the ability to change a class? Do the monikers of classes even apply to those that use the powers of Darkness? Think about some of those questions. I know the writing team at Bungie would definitely love it if you all had a little friendly back and forth about this story. 2) Thank you. Thank you for watching this and thank you to all the people who put time into making this, be they voice actor, artist, editor, sound mastering or even the guys who helped me to capture some of the gameplay. You've all been essential to the creation of this video and I'm so glad to have worked with you all! 3) Confessions of hope I hear you whispering... It's a later potential addition to this story and whilst it's heavily implied, nowhere is it confirmed that Shin was indeed the child in that story. Considering that it wasn't part of the original Last Word and Thorn Saga, and because assumptions are dangerous I decided against including this in our story. If we see more of it come out we may well see some answers. You'll note in the video that we used the phrase "If we are to take Shin at his word." The use of that phrase is a nod to this. I hope we can all understand that a little more at some time later on.
To be fair, Saladin wears a cape, not a cloak. There’s no hood. And some characters do wear articles of clothing not commonly associated with a class, like Osiris with a hood. Truth be told, I think a lot of players would love some visual flair like that. Love the way you presented this interpretation of Yor.
Okay, I'm saying it right now: this is the most well-produced, high-quality video we have ever seen from you Byf! The brilliant voice-acting, the beautiful artwork, the massive amount of in-depth research and crystal clear execution of said research. This is truly amazing Byf, and you deserve all the praise in the community. And even outside the community as well!
Wow. My children and myself just sat on the bed and listened/watched this whole thing. I tell bed time stories to my boys before bed. The stories are always a series that they look forward to hearing each night. I am their favorite story teller. Well... WAS their favorite story teller. That is until they heard this. I'm not even mad. You have a gift and I will support you for more. Liked, subscribed, bell rang, and more as opportunity permits.
Byf should be an NPC in Destiny. He should be like the Lore Master. He would be staying close to Ikora and those books stands and he would have in his inventory Lore audiobooks (with his voice
Ghost- "i will not abandon you". Yor- "You will. Or i will carve the light from your shell and leave the carcass of my first and last friend in the dirt of this dull red world for no one to find." Daaaamn
Four years later and I am just now hearing this. Man this was so well put together. Huge efforts made by members of the community and well done with the voice over.
After stumbling upon Shin Malphur and his entire lore six months after you, I'm genuinely shocked! As a lore fanatic, discovering this piece of the Destiny universe has been an absolute delight.
Byf this was incredible. Congrats to everyone involved. The scene with the bandits gave me goosebumps. This is what makes the destiny community great. Thank you so much.
He only stumbled unto the Hive not the nightmares. They probably weren’t even in development during this original Destiny. Also Scarlet Keep wasn’t even built yet lol. Guys needa pay more attention lol
I wonder if that was the point of it. Give us some kind of catalyst to put us on a path towards either darkness or the light. Walk between the lines of right and wrong. CHOOSE a side and all. It adds a layer of complexity to our guardian's story, which was desperately needed to set up the future of our guardian's story. I'm excited to see where it goes.
Zavala is legit a pacifist at this point, doesn’t do anything when a member of his fire team dies, and then all he does now is overlook the city while shards of the now awoken traveler hover above him.
@@decayedvanguard2014 He took names when defending the City at the front,he just takes his job as a shield extremely seriously,maybe too much so. But thats a Defender for you
I doubt this would ever happen, or even be possible, but what if bungie made the Thorn transform by kills against enemies to Rose and kills against guardians Thorn. The more you have to one side, the more it looks like one or the other. That would be sick!
IIRC the Husk of the Pit (which later became Eidolon Ally and ended as the Necrochasm) turned darker as we fed it hive deaths. So... not saying it will happen, but a gun changing color (maybe even geometry) as we use it in a particular way is possible. That would be sick indeed.
Shadows of Lor both would be cool, but...consider the ingenuity. Consider the immersion. To become closer to the darkness, is to kill thy brethren. To become closer to the light, is to bring light to the darkness. What a MAGNIFICENT story it would tell when guardians split! 😆😆😆 just thinking about it gives me goosebumps
Osiris, using his technology, is the mind who guards the City. Saint, the Vanguard who goes into battle against the Traveller's enemies. And Shin, the Vanguard who deals with Humanity's greatest threat, the Darkness.
Imagine Bungie is making that Matter IP as a mobile game that gives you the option to follow the path of the Dredgen, or the man with the Golden Gun, and his son.
@@brimward122 I think he meant Forsaken. Yes it fit with the lore but imagine if we could tune the Sundial to our past specifically and end up rescuing Cayde from the Scorn Barons and Uldren, yet still end up hunting them down (because it was an attempted murder of Cayde, so we would likely have the backing of the Vanguard that time around) and the whole story was focused on the Capture of Uldren, so he could end up becoming uncorrupted, and he could end up becoming a guardian without being killed first, and he could end up seeing Mara again.
I’m watching this 2 years after this video has been made and it incredibly well scripted, the perfect balance between first person and third person story telling was so well put together that not one point in this video did I get board or have a lapse of concentration. Really enjoyed it thank you.

I was a D1 addict in my high school days. Lore, community, the game itself, I was steeped in it. But now as an adult life had gotten in the way of D2 and I eventually forgot about it. Simply remembering the days of my squad with nostalgia. But recently I got back into the game. And I gotta say as I return to Byf's videos I I've remembered all that I've truly loved about this game.
I believe destiny in movie format cannot happen due to the lore being quite similar to star wars, replace the handcannons with lightsabers and the light with the force, and boom you have a Star Wars story. I would still love to see it happen tho.
@Mythical. I really disagree with you, you are just picking words and ignoring what they mean in the two universes. I compared the force with the light, I didn't compare the theme 'light and dark'. You really seem to be arguing for the sake of arguing.
Thinking the same thing, also could be a similar case with Eris Morn, she lost her ghost, lost her sight but she was down there for a long, long time. She has abilities despite the absence of her ghost, I know some of that has to do with Crota and the Hive, but we'll definitely learn more about her in Shadowkeep.
I would think so and the place matches up as best as it can be seeing as the hell mouth door was still locked up when we got there in d1 and maybe the moon siege was at shadowkeep seeing as I believe it said the nightmare was unleashed with was being past tense so I bet you are right
My friend, you and your crew deserve many awards for this. It is breathtaking, well illustrated, voice acting is fantastic. Honestly one of your best ever. Your break for your mental health served you well and it appears you are on another level. Still praying for you brother as I know it is an ongoing struggle but well done bud. Can’t wait to see what’s more to come. Cheers
So I just realised that you got voice actors for the lore acted sections - I was wondering for the longest why these don't exist in the game haha. Thank you for your hard work! Much more immersive!
@@moonvald Agreed, You should hit bungie up and have you as an voiceactor for a ghost or a NPC tbh. For destiny 3 or another DLC. It's so fitting and just sounds incredible
@@moonvald I'd love to have you voice my ghost in destiny 3. If there's something you can do to be a ghost voice actor in destiny 3 id really appreciate it.
There are lines in this story that just really hit different “if one man could stand against the dark so too cold anyone, everyone” “same meat same bone but so very different”
In terms of voices I prefer the ones from the narrated cards. Don’t remember the channel but if you search for audio grimoire cards you’ll find the channel. I did love this whole thing though.
I feel like one of the most interesting parts of this is that Yor never even drew in the final showdown. The obvious assumption is that he either wanted to die for some ulterior motive or was just too slow. I don't really think the second one is something bungie would do So what other motive would he have? I think the dialogue between yor and wards ghost where the ghost says he might want to tempt shin is most likely the answer. This even ties back to all the way into the future where we are now with shin's story. Shin killed out of vengeance and anger, and beat him with sheer might. That sounds to me like the essence of the sword logic.
I think, ultimately, the way Yor died was both the Perfect Finish and the Perfect Beginning. On Yor's end, his nihilism and fall from grace finally collided into Solar Light, ending the disgraceful legacy of a once great Guardian. Shin, on the other hand, was able to not only achieve closure for the death of his father figure, but to embody the righteous fury at the heart of the Solar discipline, inspiring countless Guardians forever onward.
To be fair, the ulterior motive was to motivate Shin to train and kill Dredgen Yor. Yor/Rezzyl knew that the one man who can stop him will be Shin - given how he killed his father figure Jaren Ward it would be motivation enough for Shin to end Yor. The brief moment Rezzyl was "back" he gave the last word to Jaren Ward's ghost, which Shin will take and train over the years. Rezzyl knew that he has to end himself in order to stop the madness Yor commits. He also taunted Shin to make sure he doesn't soften up after years of training to reach this final showdown.
Indeed, the showdown between Shin Malphur and Dredgen Yor is a moment laden with symbolism and deep narrative undertones. The fact that Yor did not draw his weapon, Thorn, during this final confrontation is a point of great intrigue, suggesting that his motivations were far more complex than a mere battle for dominance. Yor’s journey, from a hero of the Light to a harbinger of Darkness, is a tragic tale of corruption and the seductive power of the Darkness. His encounter with Shin Malphur seems to have been meticulously crafted, not just as a duel but as a final act in a grand, dark design. The dialogue between Yor and Jaren Ward's Ghost, where the Ghost insinuates that Yor might want to tempt Shin, is crucial. This hints at Yor's deeper, more sinister intent: to plant the seeds of Darkness within Shin. By allowing Shin to kill him out of vengeance and anger, Yor hoped to pass on the essence of the sword logic, the philosophy of survival through strength and dominance. The sword logic, a belief system embraced by the Hive and Oryx, the Taken King, dictates that power and existence are justified through the defeat of the strong. By killing Yor, Shin would not only be taking a life but potentially embracing the very darkness he sought to destroy. This act of killing out of vengeance and anger is a perilous dance with the very forces that corrupted Yor. Yor’s ultimate goal may have been to challenge the purity of the Light within Shin. By tempting Shin to embrace his darker impulses, Yor sought to perpetuate the cycle of Light and Darkness, ensuring that even in death, his influence would persist. This is a test of Shin’s character and resilience, a crucible in which his true nature would be revealed. In killing Yor, Shin did indeed confront the essence of the sword logic. However, unlike Yor, Shin did not succumb to the Darkness. Instead, he emerged as a Guardian whose actions, though fueled by vengeance, ultimately reaffirmed his commitment to the Light. Shin’s journey did not end with Yor’s death; it was merely the beginning of a lifelong struggle against the Darkness, both within and without. This moment is pivotal in understanding Shin’s role in the grand tapestry of our universe. His victory over Yor was not just a physical triumph but a moral one, a testament to the enduring strength of the Light even when confronted with the deepest shadows. Shin’s story, as it unfolds into the present and beyond, is one of redemption and vigilance, a reminder that the path of the Guardian is fraught with challenges that test the very core of our being. Yor’s death, therefore, is not the end of his influence but a turning point. It serves as a reminder that the battle between Light and Darkness is not just fought on the battlefield but within the hearts of those who wield these cosmic forces. Shin’s resilience in the face of such a profound test speaks to the potential for Light to prevail, even when the Darkness seeks to consume it from within.

yor and jarens ghost gave me goose bumps
you are mvp
perhaps Shin became a Guardian because Jaren's death was an extremely rare type of death. We know a Guardian can die permanently if they lose their Ghost, Cayde for one example. But the OG Thorn had a unique property where it could drain the light from a Guardian it kills, this prevents them from being resurrected and leaving Jaren's Ghost not connected to a Guardian, so perhaps this basically reset her connections and allowed her to choose Shin as her new Guardian. For We know he became one since he could use Golden Gun. And Jaren's Ghost is the only one we've heard accompany Shin. But this is just my theory.
I think ghosts can rez anyone really. In the pigeon and phoenix lore book Osiris slays a risen who was using his powers to hurt others. He was able to ask the man's ghost why he would choose someone so awful and we learned from Sagira that the ghost was scarred, they needed someone strong and chose them, even if they weren't worthy. They then send the ghost off to the traveler to find his actual guardian.
IIRC, Shin was basically a stillborn, got rezzed by a Ghost, and that ghost later died. So he had latent Light, and his bond with Jarren may have just been the "spark" he needed to become truly worthy of Jarren's Ghost after his passing.
@@akurami6577 Yep.
@@akurami6577 oh shit, that's got to be rough
Let me help yall. you see when shin was born, he was almost stillborn but by a miracle in night, he was revived with traveler's light. In the event jaren died, he was chosen to become a guardian, because of said light.

I mean mylin games is pretty good

Teebles why do you think he’s annoying? His voice is soothing to me
I'm a fan of Byf but if you think Myelin isn't on the same level or better then you clearly haven't watched his videos.
Sir wallen matches his story telling and him role-playing as his own warlock chronicling the lore is very neat but the voice actors and art in byf's are top notch
Hearing Dredgens ghosts voice get more and more desperate and sad really sets the tone for how falling really affects guardians. It’s quite terrifying honestly
Itd be dope if they added Byf in as a character in the next Destiny, you just see his Guardian sitting in a chair surrounded by Children or other Guardians and he is just reading stories.

TheBassPlayer1296 and most times the last word won couse it is better for close range and u can use a sniper for long ranges
Dredgen Yor's voice actor, Connor Cronus, is absolutely on point in this, his inflections and tone are just perfect.Blessious also does a pretty good job as shin malphur,and Moonvalds voice is just Bewitching to listen too. This was an absolutely amazingly awesomely done episode Good Job guys.

Too bad the other VA's sucked
it sounds more like Boris out of men in black 3 aka Jemaine Clement
he sounds like someone from the alloy of law
The story of Dredgen Yor is extremely similar to Anakin's story from Star Wars. Noble, brave, best of his class but pride took him.
Love and tentation*
@xen but pride told him he could be incurrupted. He wouldn't have gone in if he knew what he would turn into. He believed to be the strongest light he knew, beyond light. While it was the opposite. He was one of lights darkest shadows.
@@michael99765 the problem is, he was beyond caring when palpatine revealed himself. He was torn between doing the right thing, or gaining the power to save padme. So when he disarmed Mace he chose the power to save her, and willing let the darkness in, because all that mattered now was her life and nothing more.

He reminds me more of Exar Cune from star wars

HI GUYS! 3 things to note!
1) RE: Dredgen Yor vs Rezyl Azzir (hunter vs titan). I hope I've given what is a good explanation of the relationship between these two characters. However! The idea behind the character up until the Rezyl reveal was entirely that the identity of Yor and his class would be a subject of debate. So discuss this! We might know the fuller story but it's still an interesting thing to talk about. What makes a titan or a hunter? What makes a class archetype? Can titans aside from Saladin wear cloaks? Does someone with the same body have the ability to change a class? Do the monikers of classes even apply to those that use the powers of Darkness?
Think about some of those questions. I know the writing team at Bungie would definitely love it if you all had a little friendly back and forth about this story.
2) Thank you. Thank you for watching this and thank you to all the people who put time into making this, be they voice actor, artist, editor, sound mastering or even the guys who helped me to capture some of the gameplay. You've all been essential to the creation of this video and I'm so glad to have worked with you all!
3) Confessions of hope I hear you whispering... It's a later potential addition to this story and whilst it's heavily implied, nowhere is it confirmed that Shin was indeed the child in that story. Considering that it wasn't part of the original Last Word and Thorn Saga, and because assumptions are dangerous I decided against including this in our story. If we see more of it come out we may well see some answers. You'll note in the video that we used the phrase "If we are to take Shin at his word." The use of that phrase is a nod to this. I hope we can all understand that a little more at some time later on.
BYF GO TO SLEEP
To be fair, Saladin wears a cape, not a cloak. There’s no hood. And some characters do wear articles of clothing not commonly associated with a class, like Osiris with a hood. Truth be told, I think a lot of players would love some visual flair like that. Love the way you presented this interpretation of Yor.
P.S great job with the story 👍
I’ve been sitting in my room for an hour relaxing, connecting my phone to the speaker and just enjoying the story.

"This is what happens when you bore me. And I am so, very bored."
Four years later and I am just now hearing this. Man this was so well put together. Huge efforts made by members of the community and well done with the voice over.
After stumbling upon Shin Malphur and his entire lore six months after you, I'm genuinely shocked! As a lore fanatic, discovering this piece of the Destiny universe has been an absolute delight.
Byf this was incredible. Congrats to everyone involved. The scene with the bandits gave me goosebumps. This is what makes the destiny community great. Thank you so much.
Shame about the main bandits forced uncomfortable ott accent
Dregen yor was on the moon and seen “nightmares” getting some shadowkeep vibes here
Dredgen Yor went to the moon when guardians were still called risen.The keep wasnt build yet
@Aidan Hall byf couldn't have said it better.
The Disaster?
He could have stumbled upon the pyramid-ships
He only stumbled unto the Hive not the nightmares. They probably weren’t even in development during this original Destiny. Also Scarlet Keep wasn’t even built yet lol. Guys needa pay more attention lol
Just realized how similar our guardian's story in Forsaken is to shin's
Holy shit you right. Wtf it's actually so close
I wonder if that was the point of it. Give us some kind of catalyst to put us on a path towards either darkness or the light. Walk between the lines of right and wrong. CHOOSE a side and all. It adds a layer of complexity to our guardian's story, which was desperately needed to set up the future of our guardian's story. I'm excited to see where it goes.
Shin was voiced by blessious I'm pretty sure
Could you imagine actually choosing who to side with.
can definitely see the parallels, the killer being killed and the beloved hand-canon of the father/mentor figure falling into the hands of shin/us
Destiny has such rich and glorious lore, and Byf tells it with passion.
"Who are you?" *Gunshot x3*
*TOYOTA*

Gunshots, EVERYONE HAS A ROUTINE
For me it was JOIN SPRINT NOW
Let's go places *screams*
Zavala: “In another life I would have killed Uldren myself”
Guardians: “Yor so full of Shin”
Shining Swan underrated comment
Zavala is legit a pacifist at this point, doesn’t do anything when a member of his fire team dies, and then all he does now is overlook the city while shards of the now awoken traveler hover above him.
@@decayedvanguard2014 He took names when defending the City at the front,he just takes his job as a shield extremely seriously,maybe too much so. But thats a Defender for you
Ill kill Uldren with my thorn while my hunter friends fire 8 bullets at time into his knee caps
Yeah Fuck Zavala
I doubt this would ever happen, or even be possible, but what if bungie made the Thorn transform by kills against enemies to Rose and kills against guardians Thorn. The more you have to one side, the more it looks like one or the other. That would be sick!
IIRC the Husk of the Pit (which later became Eidolon Ally and ended as the Necrochasm) turned darker as we fed it hive deaths. So... not saying it will happen, but a gun changing color (maybe even geometry) as we use it in a particular way is possible. That would be sick indeed.
maybe there will be an ornament...
Gaimz personally I’d like to have both
Shadows of Lor both would be cool, but...consider the ingenuity. Consider the immersion. To become closer to the darkness, is to kill thy brethren. To become closer to the light, is to bring light to the darkness. What a MAGNIFICENT story it would tell when guardians split! 😆😆😆 just thinking about it gives me goosebumps
Gaimz I understand that that would be a cool aspect to the game and lor id also like to have dark powers like they are talking about for destiny 3
Really wanna see a meet up between Shin, Saint, and Osiris. The 3 greats united at last
The Vanguard that actually gets stuff done.
Renthos yeah
A Hunter, a Titan, and a Warlock as it should be.
Oh keep talking
Osiris, using his technology, is the mind who guards the City. Saint, the Vanguard who goes into battle against the Traveller's enemies. And Shin, the Vanguard who deals with Humanity's greatest threat, the Darkness.
Jesus christ the freaking VAs, especially Yor's. Good job byf, you made shivers run up my spine and further rekindled my love for the lore.
When two hand cannons have a more interesting story than anything you've ever written.
And sadly, even better and more interesting story than the game campaign itself.
@@eliasacevedo5711 I wouldn't say sadly in that case. Bungie has always had better story in the lore than their actual main games
@Arigato Senpai How was it lazy? It fits with the story and the lore.
Imagine Bungie is making that Matter IP as a mobile game that gives you the option to follow the path of the Dredgen, or the man with the Golden Gun, and his son.
@@brimward122 I think he meant Forsaken. Yes it fit with the lore but imagine if we could tune the Sundial to our past specifically and end up rescuing Cayde from the Scorn Barons and Uldren, yet still end up hunting them down (because it was an attempted murder of Cayde, so we would likely have the backing of the Vanguard that time around) and the whole story was focused on the Capture of Uldren, so he could end up becoming uncorrupted, and he could end up becoming a guardian without being killed first, and he could end up seeing Mara again.
FINALLY. HOLY CRAP THIS IS ALMOST AS LONG AS THE ENTIRE DESTINY STORYLINE. Keep up the good work byf! I enjoy the longer videos!
??????????
@@iamcreamingbecause1061 he had been planning to do this vid for a long time and it's finally here

Yes
10:48 what if Dredgen Yor was corrupted at shadowkeep? He keeps saying he has seen nightmares and thats what is housed in that citadel.
Thinking the same thing, also could be a similar case with Eris Morn, she lost her ghost, lost her sight but she was down there for a long, long time. She has abilities despite the absence of her ghost, I know some of that has to do with Crota and the Hive, but we'll definitely learn more about her in Shadowkeep.
I would think so and the place matches up as best as it can be seeing as the hell mouth door was still locked up when we got there in d1 and maybe the moon siege was at shadowkeep seeing as I believe it said the nightmare was unleashed with was being past tense so I bet you are right
If so, then Eris would be on Shin's hit list.

Not gonna lie, that's what is happening here.
I feel like one of the most interesting parts of this is that Yor never even drew in the final showdown. The obvious assumption is that he either wanted to die for some ulterior motive or was just too slow. I don't really think the second one is something bungie would do So what other motive would he have? I think the dialogue between yor and wards ghost where the ghost says he might want to tempt shin is most likely the answer. This even ties back to all the way into the future where we are now with shin's story. Shin killed out of vengeance and anger, and beat him with sheer might. That sounds to me like the essence of the sword logic.
he did want to die
I think, ultimately, the way Yor died was both the Perfect Finish and the Perfect Beginning. On Yor's end, his nihilism and fall from grace finally collided into Solar Light, ending the disgraceful legacy of a once great Guardian. Shin, on the other hand, was able to not only achieve closure for the death of his father figure, but to embody the righteous fury at the heart of the Solar discipline, inspiring countless Guardians forever onward.
To be fair, the ulterior motive was to motivate Shin to train and kill Dredgen Yor. Yor/Rezzyl knew that the one man who can stop him will be Shin - given how he killed his father figure Jaren Ward it would be motivation enough for Shin to end Yor. The brief moment Rezzyl was "back" he gave the last word to Jaren Ward's ghost, which Shin will take and train over the years. Rezzyl knew that he has to end himself in order to stop the madness Yor commits.
He also taunted Shin to make sure he doesn't soften up after years of training to reach this final showdown.
Indeed, the showdown between Shin Malphur and Dredgen Yor is a moment laden with symbolism and deep narrative undertones. The fact that Yor did not draw his weapon, Thorn, during this final confrontation is a point of great intrigue, suggesting that his motivations were far more complex than a mere battle for dominance.
Yor’s journey, from a hero of the Light to a harbinger of Darkness, is a tragic tale of corruption and the seductive power of the Darkness. His encounter with Shin Malphur seems to have been meticulously crafted, not just as a duel but as a final act in a grand, dark design.
The dialogue between Yor and Jaren Ward's Ghost, where the Ghost insinuates that Yor might want to tempt Shin, is crucial. This hints at Yor's deeper, more sinister intent: to plant the seeds of Darkness within Shin. By allowing Shin to kill him out of vengeance and anger, Yor hoped to pass on the essence of the sword logic, the philosophy of survival through strength and dominance.
The sword logic, a belief system embraced by the Hive and Oryx, the Taken King, dictates that power and existence are justified through the defeat of the strong. By killing Yor, Shin would not only be taking a life but potentially embracing the very darkness he sought to destroy. This act of killing out of vengeance and anger is a perilous dance with the very forces that corrupted Yor.
Yor’s ultimate goal may have been to challenge the purity of the Light within Shin. By tempting Shin to embrace his darker impulses, Yor sought to perpetuate the cycle of Light and Darkness, ensuring that even in death, his influence would persist. This is a test of Shin’s character and resilience, a crucible in which his true nature would be revealed.
In killing Yor, Shin did indeed confront the essence of the sword logic. However, unlike Yor, Shin did not succumb to the Darkness. Instead, he emerged as a Guardian whose actions, though fueled by vengeance, ultimately reaffirmed his commitment to the Light. Shin’s journey did not end with Yor’s death; it was merely the beginning of a lifelong struggle against the Darkness, both within and without.
This moment is pivotal in understanding Shin’s role in the grand tapestry of our universe. His victory over Yor was not just a physical triumph but a moral one, a testament to the enduring strength of the Light even when confronted with the deepest shadows. Shin’s story, as it unfolds into the present and beyond, is one of redemption and vigilance, a reminder that the path of the Guardian is fraught with challenges that test the very core of our being.
Yor’s death, therefore, is not the end of his influence but a turning point. It serves as a reminder that the battle between Light and Darkness is not just fought on the battlefield but within the hearts of those who wield these cosmic forces. Shin’s resilience in the face of such a profound test speaks to the potential for Light to prevail, even when the Darkness seeks to consume it from within.
