The Fallen represent "The New Monarchy"?
[quote]So....from this little excerpt from Urk in the mail sack has revealed something else about the Destiny universe
"I fell in love with the Fallen all the way back in 2009. Partly because there’s just something wonderful about the idea of a nomadic race of once noble houses now scattered to the solar winds. Partly because there’s something primordial and instantly terrifying about squaring off against an unpredictable Fallen Captain, his tattered crimson cape draped over a set of four splayed and angular arms that bristle with sleek firepower"

To me it seems that they fit in the role of the new monarchy. They wear crimson, they used to be part of a noble house but aren't any more, and seem to have a ranked military system.
What do you think?
Who's to say that the factions only represent the guardians of the city?

Edited by A Traffic Cone: 11/6/2015 6:53:58 AMThey resemble dead orbit more closely. Colors aside, I urge you to look at the lore and ideologies behind our enemies and our factions. The fallen run. They move around. Hop from place to place, scavenging what they can. This is what dead orbit wants to do. Run, scavenge, hide. The Cabal fight. They serve a single power—a "monarch", if you will—known as "the emperor". New monarchy wants to stand its ground and fight, it wants to conquer as the cabal do. The Vex tinker with time and space. If FWC's interest in praedyth is any indication, it would be that they, too, are deeply interested in the concept of time, and the laws of the universe, much like the vex are. Not sure about hive. -blam!- those guys. Additionally, the characteristics of guardian "races" align quite nicely with the dark races. Let's look at the representatives that we speak to for each faction: FWC's rep is an exo. Given that I've compared them to the vex, the similarities should be obvious. Vex are machines, as are Exos. New Monarchy's rep is a human. They are destructive, orderly, and capable of great military feats. They like to deal with problems head on. The cabal are no different. Finally, and most convincingly, Dead Orbit's rep is an awoken, and the similarities between the awoken and Fallen are striking. The awoken are not as cowardly, per se, but their shattered reef seems to indicate that they were on the run, and were caught, hence the large amount of debris. They ran, like the fallen ran. More interesting is the fact that they are masters of politics and diplomacy. Note that the fallen have "houses", and that these houses often engage in politics (though not as effectively since the fall of house judgement, and the rise of the wolves). The queen even managed to make peace with the fallen, for a time. I think they got along because in truth, their species share quite a few similarities. These are just my thoughts. Have a wonderful day. EDIT: Had an Aha! Moment. Osiris' faction is secretive and seems to have strange rituals, much like the hive do. Might be some connections there.
