Questions / Thoughts

Possible source of the schism between the Speaker / Osiris?
Possible explanation of the ability to change \"classes\" for Guardians in the figure of Rezyl/Yor?

Hunter - \"...blaze their own trails & write their own laws.\" | \"...harnessing the Light to reclaim the secrets of our lost worlds.\"
Titan - \"...heroic defenders of the Light...\" | \"...face any challenge head-on, blunt force instruments of the Traveler\'s will.\" | \"Strive for honor. Stand for hope.\"
Warlock - \"...mind is an arsenal of deadly secrets, balanced between godhood & madness.\" | \"...devote themselves to understanding the Traveler & its power.\" | \"Pathways into darkness.\"

Card Summaries / Notes

Summary view of weapon
Unknown Book of Sorrow excerpt
Definition aligns with Antisocial Personality Disorder (commonly known as sociopathy) - which is usually defined as the lack of empathy (i.e., the ability to understand/share the feelings of another).

Their research points back to the Grimoire cards that we now have as well - they have researched as we have. (points to be discussed in stream/show)
They elevate Yor - more so becuase of his past. They see his actions as brave and, in their own way, honorable. And they believe that they will succeed where Rezyl failed.
\"And should we fail, may the Light avenge all those we make to suffer.\"

Importance of hope established for the unnamed hero figure (with a named weapon and a powerful flaw)
Pride led him to sorrow and into the darkness - he sought glory (and maybe knowledge?)
Even the fall that he experienced, however, wasn\'t a complete one - even as the fallen hero devoured the hope of the worlds around him, he held onto his own fleeting hope. That they would remember the hero he had been as separate from the monster that he had become. Could be that this was the reason he hid.
Named weapon (Rose) transformed into another named weapon (Thorn)

Rezyl = \"Titan\"
Takes place in the geographical area of the Last City, but before the City was built
Faction Wars - the Risen ally with different groups and are divided instead of united (similar to the Speaker...)
Hope is important to Rezyl - it was a currency to him
The Fallen appear and present the divided masses a common enemy against which they unite, allowing them to fight alongside one another instead of against one another
Rezyl was a \'champion\' in these wars (Where is Osiris, Saint-14, the Lords of Iron, the Speaker, etc.??) - and this lead to the formalizing of the idea of Guardians (as opposed to the formal banding together under Radegast with the Lords of Iron??).
Rezyl has a secret fear (i.e., a flaw...) of the Darkness and what the future holds for the budding City

Rezyl is shown as a formidable warrior at Eksori\'s Ambush
Tescan Valley Encounter (reddit post by u/rgtgd for some amazing details) introduces us to a few of his fireteam (Hassa & Tover) as well as a glimpse at the use of revival as a weapon.
Defense of the North Channel (Great Britain / Ireland) mentions hope again while the Guardians lead humanity to the Last City - and those who are left behind are assumed to be nothing more than dead people walking. (Possible location for Palamon??)

Rezyl is on the moon now, searching for rumored nightmares (and glory) - he finds it in the form of the Hive presence, who is introduced in the figure of Xyor the Blessed / Betrothed (also later referred to as \"the Coming Storm\" [possible reference to the storm that is coming, of which Eris speaks in her new card??]).
Orders his Ghost to stay away (nod to the later dismissal of Yor\'s Ghost on Mars??) and ready a warning for the City in case he falls while under the surface. Note here that they knew of the Hive already - even though they believed them to be dead.
Goes after Xyor and is given the prophecy of his Light shattering and the punishment for venturing upon their holy ground (he walks a pathway into darkness - Warlock nod?)

Rezyl again shows battle prowess (first against thrall hordes and then against knight)
Note possible source of the Necrochasm in his lost auto rifle (named Inferno)
Rose very similar to The Last Word in firing style (also noted as being used as an \"afterthought\" - which may be a nod to The First Curse?)
Rezyl is intrigued by the knight - though this doesn\'t prevent him from slaying the monster (we also see something of a Hunter attitude here mixed with the very Titan-esque meeting of a challenge head-on)
After he returns to the surface, he and his Ghost agree to warn the City - though he pauses long enough to graft the trophy of his victory (a bone...) to the steel frame of Rose - leading to the eventual development of whispers (e.g., Ahamkara??) and corruption.

The killing of bandits
Durga / Breaklands = ?? (Possibly in the Idaho geographical area, per definition of breaklands?)
Comments concerning hunger (worm pact??)
Regret is shown by Rezyl :: \"Ever seen a nightmare? Ever opened your eyes and realized the horror wasn\'t a dream? The terror wasn\'t gone?... I thought...It\'s foolish, I know...but I thought I saw a way. That maybe we could win. Maybe we could survive. But once you step into those shadows, it\'s so very hard to walk in the Light. Or...maybe I just wasn\'t strong enough. Maybe. But I feel strong now... And I\'m hungry. Its hungry.\"

The dismissal of his Ghost
His rebuttal to the comment about nobility another nod to The First Curse?
His fear (which led to his fall and shows how he was blinded by pride in his own strength) was these events were unavoidable - no matter what he did, no matter how hard he fought, he couldn\'t save them all. HE couldn\'t... (but no single person could...).
The argument of the morality of evil actions (the end justifies the means) and the value of individuality (what makes us \"special\" if we are all special?).
\"...the smoke, ash and bone at your feet...\" (corpse of Panhanin?)
\"I rekindled your Light, it falls first to me to aid in its survival.\" - Guardian\'s Light as separate and unique from that of the Traveler\'s/Ghost\'s.
Ghost\'s hope: \"The righting of our path. The cleansing of your shadow and a return to the Light.\" (emphasis added)
Sense of protecting his former name is seen also in his pushing the Ghost away.
The monstrosity of Yor - he still values hope...but as something to reap instead of something to sow

Conversation between Ghost (Ward\'s?) and Yor
Discussing Shin - Ghost defends him and Yor gifts him with his master\'s \"sword\" (nod to Sword Logic??)
Learning of the meaning of Yor\'s new name (\"The Eternal Abyss\") and the nod towards a forgotten language
Yor sows another kernel of hope - his own death - in the Ghost...

Shin chases the man in black (across a desert?! Shin = Roland confirmed!! :P )
Shin\'s summoning of Light in the Golden Gun - rough and untaught? - is fueled by rage (not a ritual??)
Yor\'s death - killed by Shin\'s roughly summoned Solar Light imbued Last Word...though he never raised Thorn in defense (i.e., did he allow himself to be gunned down?)

Speaker is a Shadow of Yor (Hunter)
Presents the idea of the Shadows as living Weapons of Sorrow - they are not wielding the WoS, they are the WoS.
