Focused Fire Chat, A Destiny Lore Podcast

Episode 21 brings Blue, Justin, Willy and a very good friend and one of our many resident lore gurus, Unisys together to chat about the lore surrounding the seemingly incomprehensible Vex. The team covers a lot of the basic lore before diving right into the deep spinfoil covered in the chat as well as some of the team's own theories. There is a lot of information that was covered in the earlier Vault of Glass episode, so be sure to also check that out as well!  As usual, please let us know any feedback you have by or any questions that you might want us to start considering for our upcoming Lore 101 and Spinfoil Corner series by emailing us at FocusedFireChat@gmail.com or on twitter @FocusedFireChat.

Episode 20 brings Blue, Justin, Willy (now powered up by Red Bull), and a special guest and friend, WindoftheStars (a.k.a., Mel) together to chat about the lore surrounding one of the three races that we have the ability to experience the world of Destiny through, the Exos. The team dive straight into the Grimoire - pulling in weapons and armor, as well as the elusive Treasure Island book that belongs to one of our favorite Exos, Cayde-6 - and discuss some amazing theories from r/DestinyLore and from the chat.  As usual, please let us know any feedback you have by or any questions that you might want us to start considering for our upcoming Lore 101 and Spinfoil Corner series by emailing us at FocusedFireChat@gmail.com or on twitter @FocusedFireChat.

Episode 19 brings Blue and Willy back to chat about the lore behind two of the more well recognized names within the Destiny story, Dredgen Yor and Jaren Ward. While here there be no dragons, due to the absence of Justin, the pair make up for it in diving into the Grimoire to address the topics of identity and come to realize that not all are ready to go up against the test of time (see if you can figure out where the pair...becomes the one).  As usual, please let us know any feedback you have by or any questions that you might want us to start considering for our upcoming Lore 101 and Spinfoil Corner series by emailing us at FocusedFireChat@gmail.com or on twitter @FocusedFireChat.

The much awaited re-cast of the first episode is here! Episode "1.5" as we've taken to calling this one, brings Blue, Justin, Willy, and our favorite Sultry Tiger himself, Byf back together to discuss and explore the extensive lore behind the mysterious warlock, Osiris. With the plethora of new information offered, and the numerous requests for the flagship episode, it's a longer one - but a chat that we hope you'll enjoy. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy the discussion of what truly drives a warlock to madness...as well as a healthy dosage of debate on the nature of the parallels that this prominent figure from mythology has with the Destiny universe and the potential hints that such influences might hold for the future of this tale we've all come to enjoy exploring every week. As usual, please let us know any feedback you have by or any questions that you might want us to start considering for our upcoming Lore 101 series by emailing us at FocusedFireChat@gmail.com or on twitter @FocusedFireChat.

Episode 18 brings Blue, Justin, & Willy together once more to examine the lore behind the legendary figure of Lord Saladin Forge, who oversees the indomitable Iron Banner in memory of the Lords of Iron. Following the lead of the chat, we delve into the stories of the Lords of Iron and the Iron Wolves, asking question of if these powerful figures the same? Or are they two separate groups of battled hardened warriors of the Light who refused to see eye-to-eye on some unknown topic and pitted their unbreakable oaths against not only each other, but themselves? And you're going to love the weekly Paean revelation - for even in the fiery depths of the Iron Banner, there is a song to be heard.  As usual, please let us know any feedback you have by or any questions that you might want us to start considering for our upcoming Lore 101 series by emailing us at FocusedFireChat@gmail.com or on twitter @FocusedFireChat.

Episode 17 brings Blue, Justin, Willy, and our friend from Planet Destiny's own lore team, Mike S. together to explore the available information we have on the Exo Stranger (the same topic that started this whole dive into spinfoil-filled darkness). While there, at first, seems to be a lot left unknown about the Exo Stranger, the chat begins to dig into the meat of what pieces we do have access to...and what that information begins to unveil about this enigmatic character within the Destiny universe. Fair warning, there is also the revelation of Willy's strong anti tiger-people feelings (or even...a potential aversion to the anthropomorphic animal characters in general) and quite a bit of delving into the wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey nature of some of the ideas/concepts that the Exo Stranger forces players to address.  As usual, please let us know any feedback you have by or any questions that you might want us to start considering for our upcoming Lore 101 series by emailing us at FocusedFireChat@gmail.com or

Episode 16 brings Blue, Justin, and Willy together once more to delve into the lore surrounding the Titan class of Guardians within Destiny. Prepare for a long one, folks - there's a ton of information (along with a detailed account of Willy's true spinfoil tale of Paean's adventures) and even though we started an hour early, the show went to it's normal cutoff time. We break down just about everything that we could think of regarding the basic information for the Titan class (ranging from subclass information all the way to the known Orders, Hosts, and most of the lesser known individual Guardians).  As usual, please let us know any feedback you have by or any questions that you might want us to start considering for our upcoming Lore 101 series by emailing us at FocusedFireChat@gmail.com or on twitter @FocusedFireChat.

Episode 15 brings Blue, Justin, and Willy back together to chat about the elusive Nine. After apologies for the delay (Blue came down with a pretty serious bug), the team jumps into the details that we have access to from the Grimoire. Given the limited amount of information that we have, we actually manged to get through the majority of the discussion points pretty quickly - which surprised everyone...and allowed Justin to regale us once again with a more focused presentation of his Dragon theory. This of course meant that each of the team had to respond in kind - so get ready for some fun spinfoil in the last half of the episode! As usual, please let us know any feedback you have by or any questions that you might want us to start considering for our upcoming Lore 101 series by emailing us at FocusedFireChat@gmail.com or on twitter @FocusedFireChat.

Episode 14 brings Blue, Justin, and Willy back together to chat about the lore surrounding the enigmatic Warminds. As is customary, the laughter and spinfoil make a return in force - this time accompanied by a few distractions from Justin's slideshow of Skype profile pictures for the stream. Come walk through the Cosmodrome with us as we discuss the history of Rasputin, enjoy the red sand of Charlemagne's home world of Mars, and dodge the Vex on Venus with the unnamed warmind within the Ishtar Collective. We even have a theory about our favorite singer (or song, depending on which team you're on)!   As usual, please let us know any feedback you have by or any questions that you might want us to start considering for our upcoming Lore 101 series by emailing us at FocusedFireChat@gmail.com or on twitter @FocusedFireChat.

Episode 13 brings Blue, Justin, Willy, and our friend from across the pond, My Name is Byf together to chat about the Ahamkara & the Worms. In the same vein as last chat, spinfoil begins to accumulate quickly from the start - with so much information and so little confirmation, there is a fair amount of enjoyable conversation about not only the nature of the two entities, but their unclear connection to one another. Blue does manage to do better this time around with those pesky words - though don't be surprised to hear a few favorite theories about a particular singer (or is it a song?) and a luminous warlock. And wait till the end to hear an awesome outro by Byf for the team! As usual, please let us know any feedback you have by or any questions that you might want us to start considering for our upcoming Lore 101 (we need a better name for that...) series by emailing us at FocusedFireChat@gmail.com or on twitter @FocusedFireChat.

Episode 12 brings Blue, Justin, Willy, and a special guest and friend, BelleBunny together to chat about the Hunter class of Guardians from within the Destiny universe. Shenangians and spinfoil are unavoidable in this round - so get ready for a lot of enjoyable debates about the nature of Light, a quick glimpse into the nature of the infamous Dredgen Yor and Jaren Ward debate, and a lot of laughter about Blue's sleep deprived attempts to pronounce certain words.  As usual - please let us know any feedback you have by email (FocusedFireChat@gmail.com) or reach out to us on Twitter (@FocusedFireChat).

Episode 11 brings Blue, Justin, Willy, and our resident Halo guru, PensHALO together to discuss the basic underlying timeline of the HALO universe in our first foray outside of Destiny. We manage to cover an impressive amount of time within the game world, starting with the Precursors and ending at the events which occur at the end of Halo 2.  Prepare for a bit longer chat than normal though - it's an enormous amount of information to cover, though Pens makes it look easy.  As usual - please let us know any feedback you have by email (FocusedFireChat@gmail.com) or reach out to us on Twitter (@FocusedFireChat).

Episode 10 brings Blue, Justin, Willy, and guest Gl1tch W1tch together to discuss the three playable races of the Destiny universe: Humans, Exos, and Awoken. While noting that many of the more intricate details and theories will need to be revisited in the future, we delve as much as we can into the stories and theories that the Grimoire cards present to us. Excuse a slight jarring as we hit a bit of internet turbulence near the end of the chat, but we pressed on and managed to get the majority of the information and discussions which occurred in the chat last week recorded.   As usual - please let us know any feedback by email (FocusedFireChat@gmail.com) or reach out to us on Twitter at @FocusedFireChat and thanks for giving our ramblings a listen!

Episode 09 brings Blue, Justin, & Willy together again to chat about the infamous Vault of Glass. The nature of the Vex, of course, comes into play very quickly - and spinfoil theories strike soon after a brief examination of the different known stages of the Vault are discussed. We also run through the famous members of the original fireteam who attempted to delve into the depths of this legendary location, and end with the agreement that there are some paradoxes that even we might not have time to explain. As usual - please let us know any feedback by email (FocusedFireChat@gmail.com) or reach out to us on Twitter at @FocusedFireChat you have and thanks for giving our ramblings a listen!

Episode 08 brings Blue, Justin, Willy, and our first ever guest, Damoel together to discuss the nature of one of the races which do battle with us, the Eliksni (or, as most of us know them, the Fallen). After a brief run through the known timeline of the species, we get into the meat of the episode, the theories of what will come in regards to the Eliksni (as well as a rather long discussion on the nature of ether and glimmer).  As usual - please let us know any feedback by email (FocusedFireChat@gmail.com) or reach out to us on Twitter at @FocusedFireChat you have and thanks for giving our ramblings a listen!

Episode 7 brings Blue, Justin, and a reinvigorated Willy together with an episode long application of What do we Think to the whole of the Books of Sorrow. Spinfoil theories take off immediately (as expected) and, while fielding questions from the chat, we finish up our recap of the Focused Fire Chat that has spanned three weeks.  As usual - please let us know any feedback by email (FocusedFireChat@gmail.com) or reach out to us on Twitter at @FocusedFireChat you have and thanks for giving our ramblings a listen!

Episode 6 brings Blue, Justin, and Willy together to tackle the remainder of the Calcified Fragments which make up the Books of Sorrow - this episode is dedicated to the reading of the text (effectively, we make this episode the What do we Know segment). Spinfoil theories are kept to a minimum...for the time being - though the lack of such thoughts does knock one of our trio out half way through. We won't point fingers...but we promise that the attack of static did cease soon after.  As usual - please let us know any feedback by email (FocusedFireChat@gmail.com) or reach out to us on Twitter at @FocusedFireChat you have and thanks for giving our ramblings a listen!

In this episode, BlueCrew86, JustInsane0516, & Steamnwillybman begin to descend into the depths of the Books of Sorrow. Tackling the first 15 cards, the exploration is more fact than spinfoil (though there are some hats donned from time to time as revelations are made throughout the readings) and there is a significant amount of information relayed out to the listeners. Also, congratulations should be sent out to the winner of the LootCrate giveaway, Josh, as well as another thank you for all of you who listen and send us such valuable feedback. As usual - please let us know any feedback by email (BlueCrew86@gmail.com) or reach out to us on Twitter at @FocusedFireChat you have and thanks for giving our ramblings a listen!

In this episode, BlueCrew86, JustInsane0516, and Steamnwillybman descend into the mad mind of Toland, the warlock who was driven insane by his study of the Hive and the Darkness. It's a twisted path that this warlock has taken - information is extremely detailed and theories definitely fly, as we gather round and discuss sword-logic and the impact that such a theory has upon the cosmos. As usual - please let us know any feedback by email (BlueCrew86@gmail.com) or reach out to us on Twitter at @FocusedFireChat you have and thanks for giving our ramblings a listen!

In this episode, BlueCrew86, JustInsane0516, and Steamnwillybman explore the myth of the legendary Exo Defender Titan, Saint-14. Walk through the known history of the famous Guardian, and get ready for some full-spinfoil jacket thoughts in regards to the relationship that the Defender had with Osiris and it's possible conclusion from JustInsane0516 and BlueCrew86.  As usual - please let us know any feedback (email is BlueCrew86@gmail.com or reach out to us on Twitter at @FocusedFireChat) you have and thanks for giving our ramblings a listen!
