The Fall of Torobatl - Destiny Fan Music

[@jackolantern147]

MY HOME IS WAR MY VOICE IS A BATTLE SONG FOR AS LONG AS YOU HAVE WORSHIPED WAR YOU HAVE WORSHIPED ME I AM HERE TO CLAIM MY TRIBUTE IT IS OVERDUE

[@9minty]

that form of xivu arath is canon and its fucking terrifying that we are going to eventually face her

[@jamesthistleton]

The shroud of her wings fold back to reveal the Taken Queen?!?!

[@twobee-1654]

What gun do you think we will turn her into when we fight her?

[@jamesthistleton]

Will probably be a sword, due to all her references to blades, knives, and sharp things.@@twobee-1654

[@anthonylis7646]

What is this form even called and what lore book is it mentioned in

[@katamed5205]

It began like a biblical apocalypse. Then introduced some more of that destiny and hive flair. With the cabal horns struggling. They fight. But it’s clear they are not winning. It’s desperate. Without hope of victory. And Xivu is drowning the world in darkness Love it ❤

[@jamesthistleton]

Yea that sums it up! I wanted to convey that the Cabal's strength was their weakness. As they struggled to pick themselves up after a wave, the Hive would just open another portal. Not even their best ad-clearers could hold on for that long.

[@Kensen_Ackles]

The music really captured that exact moment when Caiatl had to make the hardest but most necessary choice any leader of the Cabal has ever needed to, accepting the dishonor of defeat for the sake of their people's survival. Abandoning their home and empire to live another day.

[@erikm8373]

I really hope Xivu is actually that big when we fight her. Maybe there's a fight with a regular knight (Kelgorath again, one last time) serving as Xivu's champion, but halfway through killing it, you just hear 'ENOUGH OF THIS. YOU WILL FACE ME NOW! YOU WILL DIE, _NOW!"_ and she just steps through and absolutely destroys the arena, leading to a boss fight like something out of attack on titan.

[@user-oo3oi9ki2j]

I was hoping that smth similar like this would happen during the Season of the Wish ending, her champion getting pulled back and a massive sword coming through the portal, but of course it had to be 2 tombships instead XDDDD

[@brucehc4975]

Honestly it's times like this I really wish we could experience various Lore events in game. Imagine trying to face a never ending swarm of aggressive Hive during the Fall of Torobatl, or defending the Last City against the Fallen Houses during the battle of Twilight Gap and Six Fronts.

[@jamesthistleton]

The vex can potentially throw us in any timeline, so anything is possible after TFS.

[@yandere-shaxx75]

Yeah this is definitely Art of the Week material.

[@jamesthistleton]

Haha, maybe!

[@hydractra]

That art piece is actually sick

[@stealthhunter6998]

Crazy how a Hive god is just a servant when they r that powerful. If u like this art thou search up Destiny Grimore Book Art.

[@Dalore]

The art piece is actually based on a real image from faust

[@nightgirlgaming1985]

It's from the grimoire anthology

[@Dalore]

@@nightgirlgaming1985 yes and the artist based it on a scen from faust. this one: filmfanatic.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Faust-Cape-Over-Town.png

[@DrDingsGaster]

@@nightgirlgaming1985 I'm so glad I got that book.

[@Arckua]

It's always an exciting feeling to see musical representations of crucial lore. Another brilliant piece!

[@jamesthistleton]

Thank you!!

[@cegray1491]

You can feel the sense of dread and hopelessness of the battle through the music, but also the fact that the Cabal probably fought with more ferocity and power than they ever have before. The despair at the end when they finally accept they've lost. I would LOVE to see this moment in destiny history animated. The full might of the Cabal homeworld military against the Hive God of War and her hoard.

[@jamesthistleton]

Thanks! You summed it up pretty well. I think with the upcoming episodes in TFS, particularly HERESY, we might move away from the inkblots and get more cutscenes that cover lore like this. Hoping!

[@syu9572]

i cant be the only one tripping out seeing an increasing amount of tomb ships in the art right? the more i look the more i see LOL

[@interloper-0186]

I better see several war moons and thousands of stormjoys in the next dlc when Xivu turns up

[@mr_stark_4998]

I hope they take like 2 or 3 years to develop it, adding 4 or 5 locations like a new game

[@legion4902]

​@@mr_stark_4998 For the next part of the story? Fuck no.

[@Vadim-u6y]

​@@legion4902 i dont mind a two year break after Final Shape to get a quality start to a neq Saga

[@Blueshift_Dreams]

Sounds straight from the game!

[@jarrahsmith6489]

Man they should just hire you at this point

[@JudgementScribe]

Love the rising tension, picturing the waves of thralls pouring out to the attrition of the legionaries

[@noxwells8628]

This music is astonishing 10/10

[@jamesthistleton]

Ah thank you!!

[@technoser9320]

LETSSGGOOOOO, I can't wait to listen to another banger!!!

[@Xemphas]

Your Destiny lore inspired pieces are always so damn good.

[@jamesthistleton]

Thank you!!

[@clovis2763]

Incredible.

[@eyesoftomorrows]

god damn this is fire

[@frostyomnic9995]

my god the horns hit like sledge hammers covered in nuclear bombs Jesus Christ that was f***ing awesome!

[@Yuliviee]

i hope we help reclaim torobatl in the next expac. caiatl helped us and protected our city now we help her. next is Riis.

[@amongusgaming123]

nah Riis is dead dead

[@UndeadOrphan98]

​@@amongusgaming123 Doesn't mean we can't rebuild it

[@amongusgaming123]

@Mr.Backshot as in the planet I'd most likely covered in gravitational anomalies and hive corruption like titan

[@uhMint]

sounds so good

[@Ins0mn3sia]

I loved the Shattered Suns pieces. This is great. I'm not sure what elements are Hive, but Cabal themes in-game are definitely "heavy thumping march" sounding. (I'm a musical genius with that terminology, I know xD /s ) So the horn? sounds fit well for Cabal. Honestly, I can't review and do it justice. But the whole piece felt like a battle. Not quite over in an instant, but long enough to have some "fighting in futility" to it. Fighting a losing battle vibe throughout. Can't wait for what you have planned next.

[@jamesthistleton]

Thank you! For the Hive, I referenced the horror elements like strings and choir from Shadowkeep. I gave Xivu Arath a "Battlesong" theme in a weird time-signature to contrast with the heavy march of the Cabal. Though the Cabal are known for their brass theme, I quite liked the music in season of the Haunted that used more strings.

[@themostaverageofjoes989]

YIPPEE NEW MUSIC

[@DarthMaul1124]

This is so good omg

[@jamesthistleton]

Thank You!

[@EightsofSpades]

Excellent as always

[@jamesthistleton]

Thank you!

[@MysticDark]

[@pedro-wd9vc]
