OK, Here's what I've got so far. I've bolded several references I feel may relate to Destiny lore. Tiamat ("[b]The Deep[/b]" or "Saltwater") and Apsu ("The Waters Under the Earth") were the creators of the universe. Their firstborn were Anshar ("The Sky") and Kishar ("The Earth"). [i]Not really sure if this fits anywhere, but including it since there are several references to "the sky" in lore.[/i] Anywho, these two proceeded to get busy, and a few generations later, Ea was born. Apparently Ea was the sharpest tool in the Babylonian shed, and so he used his magic to rule the lot of them. After a while, all the little gods and godlets started getting restless, and it kept Apsu up all hours.  He bitched to Tiamat and tried to con her into killing everyone, but she wasn't down with that. Everyone was freaked out, but Ea took matters into his own hands, casting a spell on Apsu and killing him dead.  To further add insult to injury, Ea built his palace on Apsu's territory. So Ea meets and marries Damkina and fathers Marduk, the [b]four eyed[/b] god of [b]lightning[/b] and [b]rain[/b] and [b]storms[/b]. So everyone's a little worried about Tiamat and her kids now. Marduk, of course, has a plan... He'll go whip some godly asses in exchange for being made ruler over all of godkind, for eternity. [i]Note that the Elliksni are four eyed and use a healthy amount of arc weaponry and shielding. Their society was built upon different houses/clans, ruled by the Kell of Kells... Much like the bargain made by Marduk. While the lore explicitly states that the Elliksni were defeated by whatever-the-darkness-is, it's quite interesting to note the similarities between them and Marduk.[/i] Anyhow, the other gods are inexplicably butthurt, and complain to Tiamat that grandpa Apsu has been killed.  She's pissed, and [b]raises her army of dragons and monsters[/b] and godlets and sets the [b]god/dragon Kingu at its head.[/b] Flash forward, and we've got Marduk on his way to kick Tiamat's ass.  He makes liberal use of [b]rain[/b], [b]lightning[/b] and [b]whirlwinds[/b] to wipe Kingu's army, and just as Tiamat opens her mouth to swallow him, he [b]tosses a storm down her throat[/b] and shoots her through the heart, killing her. [i]Here we have more mention of "lightning/arc" and mention of a whirlwind. Maybe coincidental, but still intriguing.[/i] Being a right bastard, Marduk [b]tears Tiamat in half[/b].  [b]Part of her is cast into the heavens[/b], effectively creating the cosmos.  The [b]other half is cast to the ground[/b], over Apsu's realm, creating the earth itself. [i]I'm thinking at this point that "light" and "dark" aren't what we need to be looking at. As lore states, it goes further than that. After all, this particular part of the Tiamat mythos iterates that "heavenly" places and "earthly" places are just two parts of a greater thing. We should recall the story of Calus, who went to the "edge" and communed with ...something out in the far reaches of space. What or who that is, I've got no idea.[/i] He [b]made stations in the stars for the other gods[/b], and [b]posted guards in the heavens to make sure "The Deep" could not escape its place[/b]. [i]OK, here we have it. I believe there. Is a particular Warlock helmet that mentions 'other beings' that wish to help us, but are either too far away or too weak to assist us. Maybe they're in hiding from whatever has made its way out of the Deep. We should also take note of this last section, in that Marduk "posted guards" to keep this particular part of Tiamat in its place. Remember the Leviathan, from the Books of Sorrows? Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too.[/i] So that's it for now. Still not sure exactly where the Traveller or the Taken figure into this, but further research is ongoing.

I'm just saying, it would be a lot scarier if the Worm Gods were actually giant worms like the ones found in the Hive, their children so to say (not the Hive, the worms). Yul is a -blam!-ing liar.

Keep me posted on your findings.

Tiamat is also the most fearsome 5 headed dragon in D&D history The name of course being taken from the same Mythology
