So, Archon's Forge *spoilers?* (Destiny)

How does it work exactly? Ive had a bit of a search but everything I find is either a video or a hideously optimised website that crashes my mobile browser.

I found a green key of some kind, but I've no idea how. Are they just random patrol drops like Runes or Skyburner keys?

There was also mention of different "purity" levels I think? Are they like different levels of runes in CoO?

I realise the expansion's only been out a day, so I dont expect a complete rundown, just bored at work and unable to find any good info.

The short answer is "Yes."

Uncommon, Rare, and Legendary random drops. They can even drop during Archon's Forge. You can only carry one at a time, but can be stored in your vault, so you can bypass that limitation. I've only run a single Uncommon one, but that was because I went in Solo. I didn't get any exciting drops from the "Bosses." But it was a nice little frenetic thing. Probably better with a group.
