These are absolutely incredible! I'm going to put my excitement within a spoiler in case some have not read them.
[spoiler]This story of Aurash becoming Oryx and creating the Hive himself(herself) is amazing. If a quarter of this story were included in the game it would change so much.
Not to mention the implications of the Ahamkara being the true Hive Gods...
If the Deep truly are the Ahamkara as it is hinted at, then would this make them the Darkness?
Oryx is so much more interesting than I ever assumed. Some of his quotes are almost inspiring in a twisted sort of way.
[quote] "I learned that I had to become most ruthless of all.
I don’t know where the Darkness-which-is-the-Deep came from, nor the Traveler that I hunt. But I will learn. I will learn.
This is my inheritance, my estate: eternity, infinity, the whole universe beneath my sword. This is what I rule: forever and a blade."[/quote]
[quote] "The only right is existence, the only wrong is nonexistence.
I am Oryx, the First Navigator, the Taken King. Aiat: let me be what I am because to be anything else would be fatal."[/quote]
[quote]"Far better to have a savage universe with a happy end than a happy universe with no hope."[/quote]

I believe that the worms are potentially ahamkara but have been warped by the darkness, hence why they are different to the guardian above. I do not believe they are the darkness however, I believe they embody it, but whatever gives them the power of the deep is the true darkness.

To be honest, I'm fine with [b]this[/b] kind of lore being in the Grimoire. It's supplemental; you don't need it to understand why the Hive are a threat, or why Oryx is coming to kill us. Also, the lore presented here is heavily abstract; if told in a questline, it would lose alot of flavour, or be completely different in portrayal, if that makes sense. This lore is here for us, the ones who want to seek it out, who want to know a bit of background, and to guess as to the nature of these abstract lore-snippets. Like I said, it's supplemental, not essential, lore. Destiny 1 had this, in a sense. [i]Alot[/i] of the vanilla Grimoire is supplemental. What annoyed people, myself included, is it didn't have a coherent and straightforward base to springboard all of this lore off of. Which was, and still is, a shame.
