Ep 119 - Lore Debate: Worm Gods

Episode 119 brings Blue, Justin, Green, and Beard back together to discuss and debate the information that the community has about the infamous Worm Gods - the source of power behind the Hive in the world of Destiny. What are they? Are they related to the Ahamkara (the wish-dragons mentioned elsewhere, also presented as dangerous to the City in their own, unique way)?

 

The team tackles these questions, as well as delving a bit into the intricacies of the tithing of Light that the various broods of Hive seem to have and those implications this week. We also take a few minutes near the end of the episode to discuss the implications and unique challenges that the clarification of the bias of the presentation of game lore open up for the community - and our own personal thoughts on that, to a degree.

 

Be sure to weigh in for the community question this week - it's gonna be a fun one to read everyone's answer to on the next episode!
