Grimoire: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 20:51, March 3, 2024

"And my vanquisher will read that book, seeking the weapon, and they will come to understand me, where I have been and where I was going."The following is a verbatim transcription of an official document for archival reasons. As the original content is transcribed word-for-word, any possible discrepancies and/or errors are included.

Cover of the Grimoire, from the Android Companion App.

The Grimoire is a database within Destiny. Entries were unlocked through playing the game in the form of "Grimoire Cards".^[1]^[2]

The list of Grimoire entries is sorted into six main categories—Guardian, Inventory, Allies, Enemies, Places, and Activities. Each of these categories has a number of sub-categories. Grimoire cards were earned through various ways, such as completing a Story mission or Strike, playing a match on a Crucible map, reviving a Dead Ghost,^[3] discovering a Calcified Fragment, or finding a Dormant SIVA Cluster. They were also unlocked by earning kills with specific weapon types; each rank allowed upgrading that weapon type to be faster.^[3] Last but not least was a series of redeemable codes which could be inputted into Bungie's website that unlocked cards.^[3]

Grimoire entries do not feature in Destiny 2, as the story is instead told in-game.^[4] Following the release of Destiny 2, the Grimoire feature was removed from the Bungie website and the Destiny app. Cards and their corresponding bonuses are still unlocked in-game but they can not be viewed.

Not to be confused with the Destiny Grimoire Anthology, a collection of physical hardcover books containing both Grimoire and Lore material in printed form.

-It is said the [[Awoken]] were born in the [[Collapse]], descended from those who tried to flee its wrath. Something happened to them out on the edge of the deep Black, and they were forever changed. Today many Awoken live in the distant [[The Reef|reef]] aloof and mysterious, but others returned to [[Earth]], where their descendants now fight for the [[City]]. Earthborn awoken sometimes venture out to the Reef, hoping to learn its secrets - but find no special welcome form the reclusive [[Queen of the Reef|queen]].

-Built for a long forgotten war, the [[Exo]]s are self aware war machines so advanced that nothing short of a [[Ghost]] can understand their inner functions. They remain ciphers, even to themselves, their origins and purposes lost to time. Whoever built the Exos fashioned them in humanity's image, gifting them with diversity of mind and body. Many of the City's Exo citizens work and live aside their organic brethren. But others fight again, re-forged in the light of the [[Traveler]] to serve as [[Guardian]]s.

-===Ghosts===
-{{quote|In its dying breath the Traveler created the Ghosts...to seek out those who can wield its light as a weapon. Guardians that protect us and do what the Traveler no longer can.|Card blurb}}
-Built from machinery and the Traveler's [[light]], Ghosts guide their Guardian companions in the quest to reclaim our solar system. Every Ghost seeks out its Guardian among the ancient dead. The Ghost serves as a scout, librarian and mechanic, waking ancient machinery and cracking ancient codes. Ghosts can even save a Guardian from death.
-But Ghosts are not immortal, every loss is irreplaceable.
-===Human===
-{{Quote|This was our world, our solar system. We were here first. And no matter what the darkness brings, we will be here when it dawns.|Card blurb}}
-[[Human]]s are survivors, tough and resilient, descending from those who built a [[Golden Age|golden age]] only to see it ripped away. Now, after an age of retreat and desperate struggle, they fight to take back their solar system and claim a new future. Their are those who believe the Traveler choose Earth for a reason. Now it is humanity's obligation to prove themselves worthy of its light.
