For those of you who don’t know, every enemy faction in Destiny is based on real life ancient civilizations, religions and historical figures. Fallen = Pirates Hive = Ancient Europe/Dark Age Mythology Vex = Ancient Greece Mythology Cabal = Roman Empire That is why some units of each faction are made and designed to have some reflection of what they are based on. Ex: Hive Knights have Swords to reflect real Knight weaponry Cabal Phalanxes have giant shields that reference a Roman tactic where a group of foot soldiers with shields huddle up to make a wall Since the Darkness is coming soon, I’ve been wondering what they could be based on. Personally, I’m hoping for Egyptian because the creatures and figures in that culture are more interesting. I would love to see some sort of serpent creature (more specifically, an Apep: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apep) implemented into the game. But, if you feel like some other mythological creature is more deserving, feel free to share. Edit: Changed Cabal to Roman Empire from Holy Roman Empire because I have been corrected because I’m not a History person. Sorry for the inconvenience!

  • can I ask a stupid question, why the f*ck is French an option, because I cant see the Darkness be like " Bonjour gardien, puis-je vous intéresser dans cette belle crêpe de la mort? " TRANSLATION - Hello Guardian, can I interest you in this Pancake of DEATH? only to turn around and run away like a bunch of cowards because - History you know.
