Hello and welcome Guardians this is your friendly neighborhood AnonPig and I’m back once again to share with you some thoughts on the upcoming expansion Rise of Iron. The big question is what is SIVA and where did it come from? I've shared my thoughts on this and i stand by it that this is a Vex replicated Golden Age tech much like what Maya Sundaresh did over in Lhasa.
But with this post we're going to look at where it comes in from a Lore perspective, why haven't we heard about it until now? Why is, something so strong to kill the Iron Lords, “completely unmentioned in the lore” until now? The answer is simple, it's been here all along.
A few of you may have seen that small revelation, the Devils are the House that found SIVA and looking closer at their grimoire card we see this. [quote]The House of Devils have now devoted great strength to pillaging the Cosmodrome in Old Russia, hunting for something buried below. If they are not held in check, whatever they find might prove the City's undoing.[/quote]
We see in this paragraph that the Devils are looking for something below the Cosmodrome, which is where SIVA is hidden, that could be the City's undoing. Now this is very vague isn't it? It doesn't necessarily mean SIVA…. But there's more.
If you've been reading my mostly daily Legend series you'd have noticed Jagi has a placeholder, i was worried he'd have nothing to say, and i can't include this because it's just theory… but take a look at this piece from Ghost Fragment Titan. [quote]The time Ghosts from Jagi's Host came back without them. Remember - they got in that fight at some point east of the Caspian? Seven Ghosts, damn near silent, buzzing with some sort of corruption. Drifting back to the Tower, one by one. Scared the Speaker well enough.[/quote]
So East of the Caspian sea huh? Well… what else do we know about this? [quote]Jagi's Host was last seen marching south of the Cosmodrome, toward the shores of the Caspian Sea.[/quote]
And there we have it! Jagi pushed out South of the Cosmodrome toward the Caspian, the wall destroyed in the RoI trailer is the South wall! So does this mean that SIVA is out down by the Caspian sea? I believe so.
Let's look closer at the first thing about Jagi i posted above [quote]Seven Ghosts, damn near silent, buzzing with some sort of corruption.[/quote]
So were these seven Ghosts corrupted by the SIVA nanotechnology? I think we'll be learning more about Jagi along with the Iron Lords in this coming expansion Guardians.
Thank you for reading, this is your friendly neighborhood AnonPig!

Nice catch! This also brings up an interesting question. While the light apparently protected us from being taken by Oryx, are guardians vulnerable to the SIVA corruption?
