I hereby issue a challenge
The challenge is thus: write lore that explains why red bar guardians are like gods in the Crucible (within the confines of what we know about the lore).
This is all just a bit of fun, but whomever writes the best I shall grant the Tittle of Community Lore Keeper for a week (because I can't give prizes).
I aim to put a challenge out once a week in these forums (not all about lore) just for, well, fun :)
Edit: post yours in a comment bellow
Edit 2: we've had some really good ones so far, keep at it :)
Edit 3: so one of the posts bellow (the Guardian called Muzzy) provided a link to some lore work if you're interested, so I'm sharing it here https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/203236192/0/0
Edit 4: so I'm going to be deciding the winner by the end of today (the plan is to have the title reset at the end of each challenge; my next post shall have further details), so those yet to write do so, and those just here to read bump and like the one you like best :)
Edit 5: [b]ANNOUNCING THE WINNER[/b]
Well, there has been many great pieces of lore written here, and I would like to select more than one, but there can only be one winner.
The title of [b]Community Lore Keeper[/b] goes to:
[b]PlunderBegCurse[/b]
Congratulations! Your words have woven a reality fit for the world of Destiny, enjoy your reward.
Should you wish to maintain the title, I suggest keeping an eye out for the next challenge...
But before we get to that we have to have some honourable mentions:
Clone148
Gazzy1978
Fithhorseman
Minerman326
And a big thank you to everyone who participated in this bit of fun :)
I shall have a link to the next challenge shortly (this one will be from Armsday to Armsday, if you see what I mean), but feel free to continue with the Red Bar Lore; you've made some fantastic stuff here :)
Edit 6: [b][u]the next Challenge[/u][/b]
https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/205637300/0/0
Final Edit (presumably): for the sake of making these challenges easier to find I shall be adding the tag 'rossap' to future posts :) (tried to add them to this one and the current one but it wouldn't let me)

Many attempt to wield the darkness in the crucible, those that succeed will be marked by a red shape. Those that attempt it but don't get it to work are yellow. Clean is green. Yet the red bar gives power. The red bar is smaller, more mobile than the bulky 3 green bars. They allow the user to slip through space as if they have complete control. This is why many enemies have red bars. They keep coming back. It's also why ours are red when near death. The darkness fills us, allowing us to survive better. In this near death state we take less damage. This act is treason if done on purpose. But newer guardians don't have the strong connection with the light they need. The crucible attracts the darkness. It feeds with it. These younger guardians simply can't connect with the light. Luckily we forgive them. But those few who embrace this act, this warping, are invincible in the forever fight of the crucible. But the architects watch over us. As these guardians sometimes disappear and their ghost fragments call out mercy or anger towards our protectors. - Lord Shaxx
