The doorway was a decoy. Ten, twenty, thirty
armed and armored combat frames with glowing
red eyes spilled out of warehouses to their
left and right. Moving with discipline and
eerie synchrony, the frames began a pincer
maneuver, trying to pin them down. Gryphon
swore.
"We have to get to cover," Felwinter said.
Fighting back to back, rezzing each other
when they died, Felwinter and Gryphon took
down some 15 frames with gunfire alone, and
a few more with grenades.

big thanks to audible let's get into the
latest destiny 2
lore episode
Before starting, this information is from
the lore book, The Liar, which you can read
on Ishtar collective right now [INSERT SCROLL
ON ISHTAR COLLECTIVE https://www.ishtar-collective.net/categories/book-the-liar?highlight=the+liar]
, however, as of writing this you cannot access
in game. It will likely be released once the
community completes the quest to Felwinter’s
Lie. This story I am about to tell you reveals
the true identity of Felwinter, if you want
to wait until it is accessible in game, I
suggest leaving now.
Ok, lets begin. Felwinter’s story starts
with being revived within a giant library,
and of course he is with his ghost called
Felspring. Technically, at this point in time,
his ghost does not have a name, however, Felwinter
will go on to provide the name later in the
book.
So, Felwinter is in this library and the library
is bombarded with what is described as “fallen
stars”, which we would later learn are Warsats.
Warsats being dropped by Rasputin! Felwinter
and Felspring quickly escape the library only
to watch it be buried by Warsats. Have a listen
to the lore entry, The Beginning, Part 1,
it reads,
A Risen Exo stood, dazed, in the middle of
what looked like a giant library. He'd never
been here before; as far as he could remember,
he'd never been anywhere before. He couldn't
remember anything, and all he had to go on
was the name given to him by a strange, silver
drone. A name he didn't even recognize: Felwinter.
…
Outside, crouched in the rubble of another
building, they watched together as the library
was crushed under a torrent of what looked
to Felwinter like falling stars.
Despite escaping the library, Rasputin continues
to harass Felwinter with Warsat bombardment,
there is no obvious explanation to why Rasputin
can track Felwinter so easily, but it will
make more sense by the end of this video.
Regardless, Felwinter is killed 6 times by
“Fallen Stars”. The beginning, part II
reads,
The first meteor hit the ground behind them.
Not a meteor at all, Felwinter realized when
he looked back, but something metal, man-made.
The second hit its target. He died. Six deaths
later, crawling out from under metal wreckage,
losing pieces of himself, clawing, running,
they finally managed to find shelter in a
cave.
So, Felwinter is being tracked and quite intentional
targeted by Rasputin, however, at this point,
Felwinter does not know that it is Rasputin,
he has just been resurrected, has no memory,
and these Warsats literally keep falling on
his head.
So, after being crashed 6 times, Felwinter
is actually very badly damaged and we get
a really cool insight into the limitations
of what a ghost can repair on an Exo. It seems
like some sections of Exos cannot actually
be repaired. Have a listen to The Beginning,
Part II, it reads,
"I can't fix you," the drone said after scanning
him. "That last hit corrupted write-protected
processes in your cognition modules."
The drone spun uneasily. "You're an Exo. Exos
were made in the Golden Age, with proprietary
tech. I can't hack into your head to fix the
damage, but I can rebuild you as you were.
If you shot yourself, I could work quicker."
So, yeahhhh, Felwinter actually takes his
ghosts advice, and does a full reset so to
speak. Once repaired, the journey continues,
Felwinter and Felspring are on the run, while
simultaneously trying to work out what the
heck is going on. Along their journey he meets
another Exo Guardian, named Gryphon. Felwinter
and Felspring are not very keen to team up,
likely because they know, Warsats are literally
falling out of the sky, but it doesn’t they
targeted again with Gryphon caught in the
crossfire.
This time, it seems like Rasputin has upped
his efforts to try and kill Felwinter, he
now has sent a team of frames to take Felwinter
out. Gryphon and Felwinter fight them off.
The lore entry, The Assailant reads,
The doorway was a decoy. Ten, twenty, thirty
armed and armored combat frames with glowing
red eyes spilled out of warehouses to their
left and right. Moving with discipline and
eerie synchrony, the frames began a pincer
maneuver, trying to pin them down. Gryphon
swore.
"We have to get to cover," Felwinter said.
Fighting back to back, rezzing each other
when they died, Felwinter and Gryphon took
down some 15 frames with gunfire alone, and
a few more with grenades.
So, teaming up, Felwinter and Gryphon were
able to chain rez and eventually defeat the
frames. During the battle, it even seems like
Gryphon used his super ability for the first
time. It is actually at this point, that Felsping
confirms their suspicions, the frames and
the warsats are from Rasputin. Felsping is
able to scan the frames to work out their
origin. Rasputin is hunting down Felspring.
The lore entry, The Assailant reads,
Felspring zipped in between them. She scanned
the frame, bathing it in blue light. She hesitated,
and then offered, "Rasputin?"
"I think so," Gryphon's Ghost agreed. "See
this logo?" She indicated a symbol on the
frame's chassis that looked a little like
a military badge. "Matches my database."
"Yeah," said Gryphon. He looked at Felwinter.
"What did you do to get a Warmind on your
case?"
Felwinter stared down at the frame. "What's
a Warmind?"
So, this is Felwinter’s clue to his past;
Rasputin is hunting him down. But of course
the question is, why? I am not too sure what
happens to Gryphon, but I believe they just
leave him, and Frodo and Sam, Felwinter and
Felspring continue their journey.
They are eventually discover a seraph bunker.
As they enter the bunker, they discover something
very strange. Felwinter, as in just his physical
presence is causing the control panels to
react, the control panels are lighting up
when ever Felwinter gets close. The lore entry,
The Bunker reads,
Felwinter came up beside her. He hesitated,
and then reached to touch the shiny, blank
surface of the panel. It blinked to life under
his hand, bright code and controls glowing
orange, rearranging themselves as he dragged
his finger across them.
"How did you do that?" Felspring whispered.
Felwinter shook his head. He touched another
blank panel and lights came on all over the
bunker, waking it up.
The bunker does not reveal much more for felwinter
and felspring, and they come to the conclusion
that if they are to solve this mystery, they
need to find a location they can fortify and
stop running from the all seeing Rasputin.
You likely have guessed what happens next,
yep, this is the origin story of Felwinter’s
peak, Felwinter’s mountain-top home.
This story is actually quite short-lived,
Felwinter claims Felwinter’s Peak from the
current Warlord name Castor. There is no dramatic
fight scene. Felwinter literally pushes him
off a cliff. The Mountain lore entry reads,
So Felwinter climbed a mountain. At the top
of it was a pre-Golden Age observatory they'd
found in a map database in a Seraph bunker.
It was the perfect place to hide: it had a
360° view of the surrounding area; existing
structures that could be fortified; a mountain
they could burrow into to hide themselves
beneath thousands of tons of rock…
…
The only problem with the mountain was that
it was occupied: a Warlord named Castor had
claimed it and the village at the mountain's
base. But Felwinter knew that everyone had
a price, and he called on Castor to negotiate.
Warlords, he'd learned, were poor negotiators.
They were almost never willing to give ground.
In the end, Felwinter shot Castor's Ghost
and pushed him off the side of the mountain.
So, by killing Castor, Felwinter inherits
the mountain and also the surrounding village.
A woman from the village visits Felwinter
to pay tribute to Felwinter as the now ruling
warlord. Typically, the surrounding village
pays the ruling warlord in goods, whether
that is weapons, ammunition or food, and in
exchange for payment the warlord provides
protection to the village.
Meeting this village is a turning point for
Felwinter, he obviously realizes the immense
power he has, and so begins to feel responsible,
not just for his village, but for humanity
in general. This is what sparks Felwinter
to start looking for golden age technology,
he suspects that he should be able to find
some technology to help re-build humanity.
Of course, we know from the pre-established
lore, that Felwinter is looking for SIVA.
The lore entry the Search reads,
"The Golden Age was a time of peace and prosperity."
"Right," Felwinter said.
"They built things. They didn't tear them
down." At his continued silence, Felspring
floated around to his other side. "Think about
it. It was the greatest expansion in humanity's
history. Cities sprung up like weeds—impressive
cities. And it all happened really fast."
She paused. "Huh. Actually, I have no idea
how they did that."
Felwinter stared at the scout rifle in his
hands. "Labor frames?"
"Sure. But even that wouldn't've been enough,
and it wouldn't have helped them terraform
Titan on their own. They must have had some
kind of tech. Something to help them build."
SO, we sort of already know this about Felwinter.
That he was obsessed with SIVA, however the
new lore provides the context for how his
obsession developed. BUT, by know, you are
probably thinking, how does all of this relate
to his identity?! Well, I am going to tell
you that right now. The lore book chronology
is broken, and we get flashback from Rasputin’s
perspective. The entry is written in a similar
style to the Destiny 1 grimoire cards with
Rasputin listing a number of decisions points
and actions to take. I will read you the most
important section and then explain. The lore
entry SIDDHARTHA Golem reads,
Initiate SIDDHARTHA GOLEM upload at DSC-342
to assess integrity of moral structures.
Set spectrum certification to AMARANTHINE
Initiate human review unless tactical morality
is built at MIDNIGHT
"Experience is the teacher of all things."
…
Reactivation conditions unknown. SIDDHARTHA
GOLEM identified with [O] energy signature.
Automated remote asset seizure failed.
There are a lot of clues in this entry which
work together beautifully. Firstly, the title
of the protocol, SIDDHARTHA GOLEM. Siddhartha
is also known as buddha, and the novel Siddhartha
describes the spiritual journey of self-discovery.
A GOLEM, is an artificial human being in Hebrew
folklore endowed with life.
If we combine these two meanings, you could
interpret this as, Rasputin wants to take
a journey of self-discovery by experience
events through an artificial human… and
the best artificial humans are… yep… EXOS.
Remember the quote, Experience is the teacher
of all things. This is a quote from Julia
Ceaser. Remember that Rasputin was programmed
with many things from Ana Bray, and many aspects
of literature, Rasputin is acknowledge that
he needs to experience the world to understand
it. And why does he need to understand it,
well, it says it right there, he wants to
test the integrity of his moral structures.
Rasputin wants to experience the world through
an Exo, so he can test if his morality is
correctly aligned.
The lore entry ends with
"And weep the more, because I weep in vain."
Big thanks to twitch chat for explaining this
to me, specifically Teeznits, who said,
“And weep the more because I weep in vain."
is the last line of On the Death of Richard
West by Thomas Gray the poem displays his
ability to write poetry in an inward perspective
that displays EMOTION. Once again, Rasputin
is trying to understand the world, and likely
trying to understand the human experience.
A lot of people provided input during the
stream, including Wulpul and Vallorn. But
thanks everyone.
And what about the intiate SIDDHARTHA GOLEM
upload at DSC, what is DSC? You guessed it,
Deep stone crypt.
Well, considering this video is about Felwinter,
I am sure you have worked it out by now…
Felwinter is the SIDDHARTHA GOLEM, he was
intended to help Rasputin experience the world,
humanity, and test the moral protocols. Does
that mean Felwinter is Rasputin… I am not
sure, maybe he is a copy, that is not revealed
in this book, why does Rasputin want to destroy
Felwinter, that is also not confirmed in this
book. BUT regardless, you got to listen to
the conclusion, the final lore entry that
wraps this all up.
"This is weird," Felspring said, and projected
a display of a long string of code. "Look.
In the Golden Age, Rasputin executes a protocol
called SIDDHARTHA GOLEM. No idea what it is.
Some kind of knowledge-gathering. It gathers
a bunch of transcripts—conversations with
Humans, recordings of music, a huge database
of literature…" She whirred and the projection
flipped through thousands of words of code,
then stopped again. "Here. Early Dark Age.
A submind in Old Russia says SIDDHARTHA GOLEM
is active. And gone rogue." Her voice dropped.
"Around the time I found you."
…
This is the first time SIDDHARTHA GOLEM is
mentioned. It…" She paused, then went on,
quieter, "It says, 'Initiate SIDDHARTHA GOLEM
upload at DSC-342.'" A beat. "DSC, Felwinter."
Felwinter was silent, thinking, uncomprehending.
"DSC?" he asked quietly.
"Deep Stone Crypt." She was almost whispering
now. "SIDDHARTHA GOLEM was an Exo."
Felwinter looked down at himself, at his hands.
He turned them over, studying the worn metal
of his palms.
The silence filled the bunker nearly to bursting.
To Felwinter, it felt like years until either
of them spoke again. The whole time, Felspring
watched him, frozen in the air.
"He's you," she whispered.
The lore book then ends right before the beginning
of Rise of Iron. Felwinter heading towards
the SIVA replication complex trying to restore
humanity. Of course, we know that Felwinter
met his fate at the SIVA replication complex.
And with that, that concludes this latest
destiny 2 lore episode.
