Narrative of

An in depth exploration of a raid idea I had, including base concept, narrative, encounter mechanics, interludes, gear and lore. This raid takes place post-Final Shape and it very well may not follow the story Bungie wants to tell. It also involves characters and concepts which may never see the light of day in the canon events of the game (Aesop and his relationship with the Witness is a prime example). For all intents and purposes, you are free to just engage with the encounter designs and some of the concepts described without worrying too much about narrative cohesion and how it relates back to Destiny's ever evolving (and retconning) story. If you want to have a mental image of the design of the two bosses before reading the encounters they are featured in, you may find it in the Strides of Resurgence lore tab. Hope you enjoy reading this piece as much I enjoyed writing it.
