Unrelated Oryx Lore and Musings (Destiny)

Just some thoughts I had today at work.

• A lot of Oryx's power comes/came from his son and lieutenants. If it weren't for killing Crota and the champions at the Court of Oryx we might never have beaten him. I imagine this is why he's so angry that we killed his son - it's not sentimentality, we literally made him weaker by doing it.
  
  
• The fact that the Court of Oryx enemies respawn and can be summoned again is actually canon (mostly) - Ascendant Hive seem to only be killed if they are slain in the Ascendant plane. The three sudters and Kagoor may be exceptions to this though, as they have "hidden their deaths" elsewhere.
  
  
• The concept of an Oversoul, of storing your "death" somewhere safe so you can be brought back after an otherwise fatal incident is not all that different to the way our Ghosts seem to work.
