The Destiny-2 expansion Forsaken has a rich background story that is mainly explained through collectibles and lore. YouTuber Andy Edition explains Mara Sov’s and Eris Morn’s plan and what the deceased Oryx has to do with the story of Forsaken.
The expansion Forsaken tells an overarching story that evolves week by week since the launch, aside from the shocking events surrounding Cayde’s death. However, explanations usually come in the form of collectibles or extended lore on weapons and armor.
The embedded YouTube video explains the background story of Forsaken, which began long before the expansion. New players should be prepared for spoilers.
The story revolves around Mara, Eris, and Oryx
What does the video show? Andy Edition’s detailed lore video explains the background story of Forsaken. The story goes far beyond Cayde-6’s death and was already initiated in Destiny 1 with the expansion The Taken King. That’s why the Hive god Oryx plays a significant role, as he has long been sent over the Jordan by the Guardians.
In addition, Mara Sov’s and Eris Morn’s plan is explained. Since the intro to The Taken King, Guardians have been wondering what goal the two Awoken are pursuing.
Dreaming City at the center: Much of the story revolves around the Dreaming City, which is shrouded in mystery and houses an even greater secret. The enormous creature that is held captive in the Dreaming City connects all parties and seems to have its own plans as well.
For whom is the video: The video is aimed at Guardians who have already completed the Forsaken campaign and spent some time in the Dreaming City of the Awoken. New players should still explore a bit on their own, as Andy Edition explains the events in great detail.
