So; drought between Season time. Destiny lore has seen characters accomplish many, many great feats and triumphs. I thought we could take a moment to look at some of the greatest/most interesting feats and triumphs any character in destiny's lore. A few things before we start: - Winning wars won't count (Feats such as Oryx's win against the Taishibethi or Our victory during Six Fronts, however smaller events that occurred during these events will). - I will be excluding our guardian from the list; because I consider everything we have done a great feat. - We will look at 5 events (as suggested by people in the lore discord). - I will also leave links to the events lore references. [b]Shaxx's Counter-Offensive during Twilight Gap:[/b] The Mountaintop Lore tab shows the actual goings on of the Twilight Gap counter-attack. Lord Shaxx, Ana Bray, Lui Feng, Abi, Truce and Nkechi, stood their ground, against orders; held a defence and allowed enough time for Saladin and Zavala to bring a new offensive that would inevitably lead to the win.

[b]Saint-14's crusade against the Fallen throughout the system:[/b] After the event's of Twilight Gap, Saint-14 sought to crusade against the Fallen in the system. He went as far as the edge of the system. This is where we saw one of the most Badass performances made by any Titan; the death of Solkis, Kell of Devils. [quote]He could feel his light draining. He pulled all of it into one last hope. He reeled back and bam! His helm found purchase, breaking through just above the Kell’s eyes. The Ether screamed from his head and together they fell to the ground. The Exo Guardian rose, staggering back. He couldn’t take his eyes off the Kell’s body. He’d never seen any Fallen withstand a skull puncture, but this was no ordinary Fallen. He waited...and waited. “Ghost?” The words barely audible. He heard her flash in, but had a hard time pinning her down. She was buzzing about, surveying the Fallen Kell. “He’s dead alright. So that’s it, we are done now?” He removed his helm, tossed it aside, and dropped to his knees. The Devils without a Kell. This war was over, at last. They could finally go home.[/quote] as well as how he came allowed Sekris to live (full story in images below, directly taken from 2nd volume of the grimoire anthology series).

However it wasn't the first place he attacked. Phobos's Cabal base, Fleetbase Korus. After he took their soldiers and forced us into a retreat; Primus Ta'aun, and his bond brothers, Valus Tlu'urn and Valus Mau'ual returned the favour and assaulted the Dreadnaught, establishing a beachhead of their own using the Dantilion Exodus. The assaulted the ship with one prime directive; Learn how the combat the Light. Skyburners Oath: [quote]Now this is the end, brothers, our final fight. Ghaul's here to finish it. Mars taught us how to fight Guardians. The Hive taught us how to eat their Light. Remember that we made it possible. The Red Legion ends it. But we held the line and we didn't die. That's victory. It says so on the gun.[/quote] They gave Ghaul all he needed to get the light. Without them, the Red Legion couldn't have taken the Light. The fact they learned this shows that a lot can be accomplished by the Cabal and they shouldn't be underestimated, even a scouting party as small as the Skyburners.

[b]Lady Perun & Lords Saladin and Radegast vs Warlord Segoth:[/b] The Iron Lords were the defenders of humanity back during the Dark and early City. One such example is the defence of a town against Warlord Segoth. [quote]The three of them picked up large, rough-hewn metal shields. Behind their shields, each held a worn rifle, wrapped with cloth and chain mail. The Pike-riders' faces were now visible through early morning gloom. A man in long red robes pulled his Pike ahead as they screeched to a halt. “Well, well,” said Segoth. “The Iron Wolves.” “Cease your insults,” Saladin barked. Perun shot him a surprised look. “That’s an insult? I kinda like ‘Wolves.’” "Begone, wolves,” Segoth sneered. “These people are mine.” "Wrong," Radegast retorted. "You abuse the powers the Traveler has entrusted us.” Segoth smiled, and shrugged. "Shields up!" Perun shouted. A hail of bullets slammed into their shields. Perun, Radegast, and Saladin slid backwards on the dusty path. But they dug in their heels, and the shields held. "Return fire!" Trapped in the narrow path, Segoth and his warriors fell one by one. Perun, Radegast, and Saladin reloaded and then Segoth was up again, his glowing Ghost at his shoulder. He fired wildly, and a bullet struck Radegast in the head. "Got him!" Perun shouted as Radegast collapsed. "Covering you!" Saladin returned. Perun, Radegast, and Saladin died many more times than any one of Segoth's men. But any time one of them fell, another would cover them until they staggered to their feet again. The shield wall held. The three gave no ground. Finally, his robes singed and ragged, Segoth signaled a retreat. “Iron Wolves!” he shouted as his warriors scattered and a cheer went up from the people in the silver ruins. “I will slaughter everyone who has ever sheltered you!" In answer, Perun shot him again.[/quote] Whilst this may come as one of the least impressive on the list; but 3 guardians stand their ground against a group three times their amount. It shows what the Iron Lords stand for; what they are at heart. It's also a pretty cool story, hence making my list.

When Oryx arrived in Sol, a plan was made to allow Mara to stop Oryx in outer Sol. But the most interesting part of the plan (imo) is the actual creation processes: Throne [quote]Nascia drew the schematics. Portia worked out the calculations. They made their first test with a small rift generator on the eastern shore. Satisfied that their methods were sound, they then went to a grand cathedral to dig the well. There, Lissyl and Sedia augured the first borehole with the help of Riven, who had taken the shape of a needle-nosed basilisk, while Kalli and Shuro Chi constructed the gate itself, deep below, in a hall they named "The Confluence." Illyn made tincture after tincture of queensfoil until her clothes stank and her hands were stained reddish-black. Open-eyed, she walked between planes and sorted the threads of reality on a vast metaphysical loom, weaving some closer, some more distant. Mara and Riven shaped her third throne together, and the artistry of their work was a testament to the hungry joy they felt in that partnership. They named it Eleusinia, and it was in those Ascendant halls that Mara finally carved a statue for Sjur. When it came time to connect the Well to the unreality that lay beyond the gateway, Sedia asked, "Would it not be wiser to leave this door without a key?" Riven, now an immense antlered serpent with broad tiger paws, tightened around the perimeter of the room like a noose. "Egg," Mara corrected absently, chewing on her thumbnail. "The key is so heavy as to be unliftable," Kalli ventured, since they were speaking metaphorically. Sedia flapped her hand dismissively. "Yes, yes, I know." They all knew that the gate required a continuous multi-week charge of paracausal energies, and that almost nothing in this solar system could produce such energies at the scale required by the gateway. Almost. "It's just— do we…" "Do we wish to trust the Guardians?" Illyn filled in dryly. Mara ran her hand along the sleek surface of the primary well's control mechanism, then turned and walked alone toward the fresh, foggy air that blew in from the coast. The Techeuns watched her go. "There is only the plan," Illyn said. "Remember your vows, Sedia."[/quote] The idea of Riven's transformations used to help build. It makes me want to see her use them if she ever returns.
