As we say good bye to Destiny 1 I wanted to take a look back at one of the most complained about parts of the game, The Grimoire. Fans were upset they had to go to an app or website to get a sweet little nugget of info about their game. While I get, the struggle was real the reward was well worth it as there is some great sci-fi writing tucked away (far away) in the Destiny 1 Grimoire. This week I'll post my favorite cards and some new friendly photos to make it less scary.
#1 The Vault of Glass - These cards tell the story of a Guardian going mad inside the Vault of Glass. The enemies inside called the Vex are robots controlled by a liquid in them, lovingly called Vex Milk by fans. The Guardian drinks this liquid, and it begins to change him into his enemy. The photo below is how I would trick others into drinking Vex Milk if I was a microscopic alien invader.
This card takes a sci-fi trope of turning into a zombie and adds a twist I like. As this man goes insane in the depths of this dungeon he consumes his enemy to get a glimpse into their mindset in the hopes of helping the next poor soul that enters.
"His name was Kabr. He wasn't my friend but I knew and respected him as a Guardian and a good man.
He fought the Vex alone. This destroyed him. In the time before he vanished he said things that I think should be remembered. These are some of them:
"In the Vault time frays and a needle moves through it. The needle is the will of Atheon. I do not know the name of the shape that comes after the needle.
No one can open the Vault alone. I opened the Vault. There was no one with me but I was not alone.
You will meet the Templar in a place that is a time before or after stars. The stars will move around you and mark you and sing to you. They will decide if you are real.
I drank of them. It tasted like the sea."
That is all I can remember.
Pahanin"
