Pretty dope Lore Summary (Destiny)

Byf did a long ass video about the Books of Sorrow, and Savathun's story since. It's got tons of original artworks and computer animations. For a non professional production, it's pretty crazy good.

You probably already know all the lore information contained in it, but it's presented pretty imaginatively. Long though. Almost 2 hrs.

It's sort of amazing the mileage Bungie is getting out of the Books of Sorrow, which General Battuta says were written in a week: 170156. I wonder how he feels about them being such an important text for this expansion.

I wonder how people playing the Witch Queen who never read the Books of Sorrow grimoire feel.

Remember it was tied to those fragments in the dreadnaught! Unless you looked it up there was no way you'd have read it all.

I think this is missing the point. Back in D1 the Books of Sorrow were meant to be lore and anyone writing those grimoire cards would have probably understood that there wouldn't be a ton of exposure outside of the hardcore. It was probably considered really elaborate flavor text. Now those writings form the background of the central plot of D2. I doubt he was paid lead-writer compensation for that.
