Just a fun thread with a bit of lore mixed in. The taken grimoire cards feature what I assume is the darkness itself talking to the poor souls taken by Oryx. It talks to them, understands them and offers them a special knife, so that they might become more than they currently are. Remember that the knife is not something you desire, it is something that betters you, makes you whole. I'm gonna do an all out grimoire style but you can just post the shape if you want.
[quote]You are Subtlespartan. Though you speak and move like the others your mind is green in a sea of blue. Your stretch to understand things beyond your mortal coil.
You have been taken.
Put your mind at rest. There are no questions here, only truth. All colours and shades are present and understood.
What knowledge do you seek? What thoughts burn at your conscience?
You seek to help others. To guide them to the truth and teach them to see it as it is. But they do not follow. You hold out your hand in offering and they turn away from you. They do not understand.
You must have their trust.
There is a knife for you. It is shaped like [I am your friend].
Take up the knife. Trust in its truth. Take your new shape.[/quote]
The knife can be as deep or as trivial as you want, just be sure to make it sound cool.

Edited by Grendelthetroll: 4/14/2016 6:58:08 AMThought I'd do something different and do some for the Vanguard. *ahem* Grimoire: Zavala, Hammer of Oryx. You are Commander Zavala. A Vanguard of the City. Iron-strong pillar of the Tower. Veteran of the Battle of Twilight Gap. Mentor to so many and beacon of authority. You have been taken. Put down your weapons. Lower your Fist. Pull down your Ward. There is nothing to fight here. You have been at the helm of duty for so long. How many strategies have you weighed? How many sleepless nights have you spent mulling over possible threats, probable and improbable? Was your unyielding resolve worth it? The City prospers, the Guardians grow in strength, and yet you still have a sharp seed of doubt; constant vigilance is the price you pay. There is a knife for you. It is shaped like [certainty]. Take it. You will no longer worry. You need not constantly scrutinize every corner of a map to tease out some hidden threat. Take up the knife. Be sure of yourself. Take your new shape. ****************** Next up is Cayde-6.
