Tangents and side stories. There are a lot of brief stories in the Grimoire that would be neat to see. Near-modern to the City Age. I think so long as it stayed away from telling too many core stories (I don't want to see the whole story of Kabr laid out, for example) but supplemented some in game things (such as stories about Guardian experiences with Exotic Weapons, someone like Dredgen Yor) would allow for expansion without stealing mysteries away.

Part of why there is mystery to begin with is that by its very nature lore in unspecific. The moment you take it into a visual medium, or a novel or something, it ceases to be lore, and becomes a grounded, specific story. This is complex, and I hope to have a long post about the nuances of this in relation to Destiny storytelling done at some point. Bottom line, lore is the only thing holding the interest in the game's story at all, so to disrupt that in any way is a bad move.
