From the [url=http://halo.bungie.net/forums/posts.aspx?postID=70585296] Joyeuse Formula Thread [/url] we know that Destiny's central character should resemble Charlemagne's in some way.
From the [url=http://www.bungie.net/en-US/View/community/Forum/Post?id=10737995] other geomancy thread [/url] we have a very strong connection to the seven layers of heaven myth
The Seven Layers of heaven myth was most notably used in Paradisio the third installment to Dante's the Divine comedy.
Each of the layers Dante travels through aligns with the order of the geomancy symbols
In the 5th layer Dante meets Cacciaguida, who warns of a future exile. and other religious warriors including Charlamagne)
This fifth layer is Mars: home to the warriors of the faith.
I think our research needs to focus on the Paradisio

I can just see Lorraine McLees, bungie artists and person most likely responsible for the puerto princesea map in a meeting. Everyone is all like "man wouldn't it be cool if we had a city with an underground river in it, because it's really important to the game play blah blah blah," and Lorraine McLees is like, "oh man there is this city my family went to as a kid and it has the longest underground river in the world." Am I reading way to much into this stuff or is there something to this?
