Long ago, an unnamed Titan created a powerful weapon. It was a heavy machine gun built with an experimental induction core. The few who obtained the powerful Thunderlords became legend, and became another part of the Thunderlord's songs.
The Titan who created the Thunderlord planned to create two variants of the weapon, one harnessing Solar energy, another with the power of the Void. These schematics were thought to be lost to time, for the Titan who created them fell at the Battle of Mare Imbrium. The event later known as the Great Disaster.
However, one day, the schematic for Nova Mortis mysteriously found its way back to the Tower. It was brought to the Vanguard who instructed the finder of the blueprints to construct the mighty weapon. Legends say that the creator of the Thunderlord worried that the Nova Mortis would be so powerful that it hurt its wielder. Stories even say that the House of Wolves under the command of Skolas the Rabid attempted to create their own variant of the Nova Mortis, but they were unsuccessful. Harnessing the Void Light within and the energies of the Hive, The Guardian constructed the Void weapon and became immortalized in the Song of the Nova Mortis.
The Vanguard took this a step further, however. Using the blueprints of the Nova Mortis and the weapon Thunderlord as base, they were able to reproduce the schematics for the final variant of the Thunderlord - the Solar powered Abbadon. The Guardian utilized their own Solar Light, Cabal machinery, and a prototype fusion modulation device to create the weapon. It was said to contain the power of a sun. How much of this is truth, and what is legend is not known, but the Abbadon was powerful enough to gain a song and legend of its own. And like the Thunderlords and Nova Mortises, the wielders of Abbadons will be immortalized in the weapon's anthem.

I like how you cite your sources. A lot of the time people don't and I'm left wondering where they got their info.
