[@graysonsorensen8872]

Two things: as we have learned from Mara Sov, when light rises, darkness swells to meet it. So as we become powerful so will our enemy. Maybe by walking the tightrope of grey, we can actually bring a celestial conflict to a halt. Maybe not by vanquishing our enemy, but by making them, less dangerous. Maybe not a friend. But not so threatening. However. What world comes out of the most powerful beings in the universe embracing the very thing that caused multiple extinction level events. On the other hand, does that even count as winning? Would it be better, for us to lose, as we hold our ground fighting as our morals and principles demand us to? If guardians bring an end to the fight of light and dark by blending them into a grey, we would become, not guardians of humanity. But guardians of the universe, constantly rebalancing the scales so the conflict never rises again.

[@minusculesun4120]

I'm of the opinion that our principles are simply wrong if they get us wiped out. As far as I'm concerned, I'm already walking in the shadows with my Thorn. It seems to me that the smartest move is to blend the better aspects of both light and dark to better protect humanity.

[@ivanoflavender9523]

I think that to face the Dark, and survive, we cannot be only like the Traveler. Even with all of its powerful light, it was still crippled by the Darkness after their fight. We would end up the same or, most likely, worse since we as Guardians are only able to wield pieces of the Traveler's light. But if we can become more, to be able to use light and dark, than there is a fighting chance that the extinction of humanity can be overturned. If we can be balanced, we can become more than both the Traveler and the Darkness could *ever* be. We can become what they literally cannot be: *both Light and Dark.* I say this not being sure if the Traveler or the Darkness can use the exact powers of the other, but from what I can tell they are opposites in every way, even down to their shape. Thus, to rise above the fight of Light and Dark, we have to try to walk that difficult and very thin gray line.

[@vaevictus4637]

Okay, but The Traveler also kept The Darkness back. You think it stopped moving in of its own volition? I highly doubt it.

[@Lions1977]

The Traveler was crippled because it KILLED the Darkness's god. Which is probably why the darkness left too. (Course that assumes whatever lore videos I was watching were correct)

@@vaevictus4637 Potassium is good for you, but eating too much will poison you and kill you. The Jews believed Gods holiness was good but dangerous to humanity, hence they oversaw rituals before ever entering the inner sanctum of a tabernacle so that they might be spared from death. Fire is good because it kickstarted human advancement. We could cook our food with it, see in the dark, use it to scare animals... However, fire can easily burn you. Water is a necessity for human life. But did you know there's such a thing as water poisoning? It's where you drink far too much water for your body to handle. The Sun seeds the world with energy. It provides plants with their energy, which is eaten by herbivores, which is distributed to the rest of the ecosystem, including us. The Sun is what allowed life to flourish on this planet. Yet stay in it too long and you may get sun burned or even worse, you may develop skin cancer.

Wow, that was dense. So, basically, Shin managed to kill Yor for wielding both light and darkness. He then made the Dredgen Vale persona in contrast to Shin Malphur to enforce this duality and to be able to confront easily corruptable/tempted Guardians by darkness. Then he proceeds to give our Guardian access to both The Last Word and Thorn to test if we are also ready to do the same and get stronger for the future conflicts in D3.

It's CONTENT like this that makes me WANT to play again. I've been bored this month so I haven't played but oof. Love me some good lore

[@rodolfodesouzaesilva5601]

If only TLW and Thorn didn't have PvP stuff to do...

[@angryasianjim]

Jesus Christ dude.... it gave me chills. Again. Upon first reading the lore and seeing for myself the deception, and the need for it? Floored. I’m glad I missed all spoilers to this. Thanks for another great video for the series. It is, in a word and quite literally, epic.

[@bigtony8352]

What a great video byf. Was great to see you in combat in gambit and with this kind of story telling this should be the main story so many good stories coming from the drifter and shin

[@omegazero5884]

Shin aka the man with the golden gun, Dregen Vale and a litttttttllllee crazy maybe

[@Adcts]

Not crazy, brilliant. Created the Shadows of Yor to thin the "Guardians" that would fall to total darkness while to trying to use the Darkness to make Guardians even more powerful for the coming war.

[@omegazero5884]

Oh I won't deny that but at some point he might have gotten a few bolts loose in his head cause man does he have a slight obbsesion with Yor. I mean he hunted him down after he became a guardian then like in not even a year he's trying to replicate thorn or something I don't remember the exact timeline after he went overkill on Yor

[@stephennelson4954]

That feel when you find out that Blessious becomes evil.

[@x-boss-hoss-xlg4567]

Another amazing video! Thanks Byf for helping us understand this journey that we’re on!

[@MaydaysCustomWoodworks]

I love these longer lore videos. It seems like you are able to really put a lot lf quality into them. Great stuff

[@mdhutch2002]

I think I know why Dregen Bane is researching the Weapons of Sorrow. He's used to fighting the servants of the Dark and the Light. Neither of them fear death, so their punishment must be more severe. I'll see myself out.

[@SnakeVenom12]

I was originally gonna go full darkness but this kinda changed my mind

[@janstucht1793]

omg that was a hell of a ride. started with yor and shin this morning now i am here and i have to say. Thank you byf. thaks for staying strong. thanks for giving us these shit tons of information. this was an inspiration, "dance in gray" might be my new motto xD

[@ETNL_Nomad]

This lore entry is one of the best so far. Pretty impressed.

[@martinconway8174]

Ah, the old Switcharoo

[@skaapippai]

Exactly what I’ve always wanted to do in Destiny. I’ve always wanted to become both Dredgen, yet defend The City and its people.

[@ajbgaming6155]

Wow just wow. I listened to both parts today and I was totally for being a dredgen till that plot twist completely scrambled my brain. Amazing video ❤

[@SuzakusLancelot]

Omg i was so confused about what side to pick for my main now im sure Shin is soo awesome this gave me perspective and reminds me of the ideas i had since D1 about the darkness the traveler all of it. How it isnt about sides. So neat and so much validation

[@spencerchild8902]

light = lawful good darkness = chaotic evil shin = not even on the chart

[@LifeWulf]

Shin is the true game master.

[@Azrael_Equinox]

My bullets are sin, my weapon is sorrow.

[@TheRealWrathchild]

Fantastic work as always, MNB. Thanks for all the hard work and dedication.

[@linkflorestv87]

This is a great series. As someone who loves the game but finds digging through the lore ponderous (especially in D1), I really do appreciate you compiling these bits into a digestible format. Even consider an audio podcast version of this? I would DEFINITELY subscribe to that on Stitcher or AudioBoom or whatever! Keep up the great work!
