Would anyone be interested in a "deeper look" into gear?

I love words, their history, and meanings.

Bungie has brewed up a lot of clever names for the gear in Destiny and I have free time in the coming weeks.

I'd like to do a breakdown of the titles of said gear, the meanings and significance of them in an effort to possibly uncover some secrets, make sense of why ___ is named ___ and so on...

Would any of you find this interesting?

Is so...

Is it worth making a simple wordpress/tumblr? (I'm not good at site building)

One thread here that we keep secret and I annoyingly bump every time I finish researching another item?

Bi-weekly smoke signals?

An external file/site/blog would better though, to keep things manageable, in case you don't want to hold out until you have the full list.

(I was kidding about the thread)

I've never attempted to do anything like this before so I figure a basic blog site that I can just drop individual posts into would be easy and a fast was to get info out to those interested, but eventually it would have to be in a searchable database and be organized for ease of use. That aspect I'd have no idea how to do.

I'm polling a few of my friends that are into lore and gaming also. I figured DBO is the land of the most passionate Bungie fans so I'd ask here to get a feel.

I'll post an example in a little bit in case people don't quite understand what I'm talking about.

Just use WordPress as your database. Write up your articles, tag them with the keywords you want, and make sure the Search widget is in your sidebar. Instant catalog.

Absolutely, go for it. I'd imagine external to here would facilitate the task better.

No need to do anything fancy - just post here. Example.

My concern is just the sheer amount of uniquely named items will create a long, long stream of updates and bumps. Coupled with the fact that we've seen "10% of the game", means this will be a constant "work in progress"

You live and learn. I did not know about this. I shall gorge myself mañana.

A short, simple one:

Cloak of the Sojourn

Original Text: "The stars are calling"

Sojourn simply means an impermanent stay from a journey. "The stars are calling" is stating that where we are now is just a step in a long journey ahead of us to uncover the secrets of our universe.

Vanir Armor Class (PS3/4 Timed Exclusive)

Vanir, stemming from Norse mythology, are a set of Gods associated with fertility, wisdom, nature, magic, and precognition. Following a great war they were amassed into the AEsir after establishing a truce following much mutual destruction. The war is still of debate due to fragmented information to this day.
