Destiny Lore Praedyth | Myelin Games

NOTE: My apologies if I said Pahanin was female, old habit from previous speculation prior to TTK, Pahanin is male, confirmed by dialogue by Praedyth in the Paradox mission. Thanks to subscriber MeadX26 for correction.

The latest episode of Destiny Lore, Praedyth, a Guardian lost in time in the Vault of Glass! The Taken King brings a stack of new grimoire card and the quest the Paradox, the secret mission in the Paradox and the exotic quest line for the exotic pulse rifle, “No time to explain”, provides some much anticipated lore on the character of Preadyth.

In an effort to be more concise and also provide more content per week, I have cut some components from the script. Here is the content they did not make the final cut.

"Kabr and Pahanin"

Praedyth goes on to say, “they don’t deserve this”. This makes sense in the context of Kabr. We know Kabr can no longer remember the names of his fireteam, wiped from existence or like-wise he has been influenced by the hallucinogenic cells of the Vex. The Vault of Glass grimoire card details the internal struggle of Kabr by saying this “No one can open the Vault alone. I opened the Vault. There was no one with me but I was not alone.” We also know that it one final act, Kabr sacrificed himself to create the Relic, the aegis in the hope that future guardians could navigate the Vault of Glass. The Relic card confirms this by saying, “from my own light and the thinking flesh of the Vex, I made a shield.”
Pahanin is still a mystery to me. The Super Good Advice Grimoire card reinforces that he “witnessed Kabr’s fall” and he speaks about Kabr like he did survive the Vault of Glass. When Praedyth says, “they don’t deserve this” what does he mean, it seems that Pahanin survived the Vault, only to be killed later by Dredgen Yor. Maybe Praedyth is simply referring to how Pahanin was terrified to travel alone, after witnessing Kabr’s death or maybe it is like the Dr. Shim scenario, where multiple Pahanin’s exist in multiple timelines, tortured by the Vex. If you think you have more info on Pahanin, please leave it in the comment below.

"Vex slave"

the Paradox mission has an alternative ending and when unlocked Praedyth says this; “Welcome to the end of the Vex. Their "immutable" future. Enslaved to a will they don’t understand. A will long dead here. Dead, eon’s ago. But then they won’t end will they, because you’re here. The Vex won’t spare the city. They’ won’t even thank you. But that’s the thing about light, you never know where it will shine.”

I believe to understand this dialogue you need to have read all of the book of sorrows, and understand the relationship between the Vex, the Hive and the Taken. I don’t want to say much more on the topic, as I believe it will be better covered within the Book of Sorrows series. However, leave a comment as I know many of the friendly subs on this channel know the answer and will help out.

“King” Clovis

His obsession with this is reinforced by a new Warlock artifact, Sisyphus Project which reads “Clovis refuses to back down. Meanwhile, the others have taken to calling it 'the Sisyphus Project'…" — laboratory notes found at a Clovis Bray facility.”
The word Sisyphus extends from mythology, and he was a king who was punished in Tartarus by having to roll a stone up a hill, however at the top the stone would escape him and roll back down the hill. Consequently, he was caught in a never ending loop of tortue. The reference in Destiny I believe has multiple meanings, obviously his colleagues were making fun of him and described his research as pointless, no matter how many times the stone got to the top of the hill, it would always roll down. The second meaning I believe demonstrates the infinite nature of the universe and exactly what Clovis was trying to uncover.

Who else's mind just melted during this video?

[MyelinGames]

This has to be my worse time recording! Felt like Daffy Duck with this commentary, couldn’t make it happen! My voice and commentary is something I work on a lot, however it was fighting me on this occasion. Hope you still enjoy. Also I am working hard on releasing more content per week, consequently I am trying to make my videos more concise, whilst still containing the level of depth you are accustom to. For those still craving more, please see the description for any parts of the script that I cut. PPS I just realized that Praedyth and Ikora Rey say Kabr differently! Praedyth says “Ka-beer” and Ikora Rey says “kay-ber”.

[probablegarbage]

remember in year 1 when this game was just about shooting some nameless alien in the face and getting that new pair of pants? man.... it's all so complicated now. time travel hurts my brain !

[hulkunlimited]

@2:40 "With the taken destroyed, the vex closed the door to praedyth's cell and communications was lost" - Proceeds to hilt a terrified and confused vex into a different time while uttering "thats for Praedyth..."

[MyelinGames]

great vid, this was really helpful, currently writing a video about the Exo Stranger :/

[arturogalan]

Bungie should expand on the story of Praedyth and the vault of glass. this is definitely the most interesting lore in my opinion

[angelgrace]

Soon Myelin! :D

Im silly like this, but honestly my heart sank (like a stone) when we found Preydyths skeleton lying there... I was clinging to hope that maybe he was alive! But I guess in an alternate time line he might be? I love me some Doctor Who and I guess that's why the whole Vex time altering thing has me so intrigued!

Another great video, thanks again! 😇

[Crayonmuncher]

I always like how you finish your videos especially your vex lore where u where like "we are here we are now it's just awesome

[Zombiewho]

Destruction of the tower?! Destiny 2 the tower is destroyed. Foreshadowing much?!

[Dmanmartin]

Nice video man, I've always liked how you explain lore keep it up

[joshuatrapp]

So Praedyth is the Eris Morn of the vex lost in the vex timelines who might come back in a future dlc

[liran]

It blows my mind how there are so many interesting story lines for the Destiny universe and it is all in the cards… great video man!

[Darkspyre]

'with one word... soon.'

advert pops up and scares the shit out of me xD

[terry]

Great work on these stories, it gives us a good understanding of everything.

[TheRAFproductions]

another amazing video.

I hope when they drop the vex expansion they will explain more on exos, the members of the ishtar collective and praedyth

[YakJax]

I'm so happy I found this channel... this was great

[dementedpickle]

Myelin you must read I can connect the dots to this theory

So you know in the mission on Venus when you meet the Exo stranger. Well the ending cut scene she only has little time to explain and then she says stuff. But the person who is talking to her is praydeth. Why? She is guiding you through the story because praydeth had the vision of the future and they are trying to change it. I believe the pahana is the Exo stranger. At the end of the cutscenes on Venus she teleports because the vex in the vault of glass are about to find praydeth. What farther supports this is at the end of the paradox mission when says something about closing a door and then it cuts off. the Exo strangers is the one ripples in the water and praydeth is the stone going forward. Please tell me you will do a follow up you basically put together destiny story.

Soon. Another great lore video, Myelin. Your videos really open up the game. I appreciate the great lore Bungie have underpinning this game but your videos bring it alive for me. Everyone playing the game needs to see your stuff!!

[adaptablemr.nerdygamer]

If No Time to Explain was a gift from Praedyth  than that's funny because when I first went through the mission I had Praedyth's Revenge with me since it's my favorite sniper, and when I heard Praedyth's voice and figured out I was going into the vault I was like, "Aww is he hear, you know what I'ma give his sniper as a gift." Yeah I'm stupid like that.

[Naradorable]

I just watched about 2 and-a-half hours worth of your videos, and my brain feels like mush because of all the info.
