There will NEVER be any Destiny lore funnier than the time two Knights in the Sea of Screams got into a philosophy/politics argument, neither could beat the other, and they’d been fighting for like a day and were super tired, so they just jumped off a cliff and let the ascendant realm’s currents take them Wherever, and their bullshit distracted them from their actual duties so much, a champion of Crota lost a fight because one of those idiots hadn’t delivered tithe, and Crota lost a temple because of that, to Xivu Arath, and then THAT started a chain reaction of him losing several MORE tributary temples, which caused him to retreat to his Throne, which left him groggy and out of it and unprepared for battle, leading to Crota DYING, which lead TO ORYX DYING-
And in short The Young Wolf only survived their confrontation with Crota and became the godslaying hero they are today, vanquishing a billion year old god-king devil…
Because two bonehead Hive Knights HAD to waste time re-enacting something out of Princess Bride.
This is why they’re my favorite alien race in Destiny.
This is the lore, if you’re curious. And yes, this is essentially what happens there.
