The Christian Culture represented in the destiny universe:
So let’s get straight into this one. Christianity presented in the Destiny Universe:
Weapons:
- Uriel’s Gift - one of the archangels If post-exile rabbinic tradition.
Characters:
- The Templar - likely referencing the knights Templar, an order of Catholic military.
Events:
- The arrival of the Traveler - the traveler creates life, terraforming planets, moons and other celestial bodies. The Arrival is the traveler in sol could be a reference to Genesis and the creation of all life by God.
- the Syzygy - Aurash (Oryx pre- larvae/ worm god pact) was consumed by her father’s final words, that the moons of fundament would align and create a giant wave that would annihilate their entire race. The worm gods discovered that the giant wave the Osmium king feared was created by “a traveler” (which we now know to be the traveler). In the bible the story of Noah shows God having flooded the earth. The traveler in the event reflects God, Oryx reflects Noah, and the surviving aboard the arc are reflected by Sathona, Xi Ro and the worm gods.

Edited by kellygreen45: 8/25/2018 2:03:39 PM1. Dawnblade: Invoked the Jude’s-Christian image of fire as the Aspect of the warrior-angel and Divine Justice. Throughout the Old Testament firey images are invoked frequently when God sought to punish the wicked. IRL this symbolism has been misappropriated by hateful ideologies like Nazism (torch light vigil) and hate groups like the Ku Klux Klan (burning cross) to try to legitimize them selves and insist that they are doing God’s Will and that they are God’s Chosen. 2. Wings of Sacred Dawn: Invokes the image of the Seraphim. One of the Highest Angelic Orders and closets to God Himself. (IIRC Lucifer was a Fallen Seraph). They are usually depicted as having three pairs of wings. Seraphim usually remain close to God unless there is a mission of grave importance to be done. For example, after the Fall of Man and our expulsion from Eden, God sent Seraphim armed with Sword of Fire (Dawnblade) to protect the entrance to The Garden and The Tree of (Eternal) Life. 3. Bit of a stretch and also crosses with Greek Mythology. The Fall of Ghaul and The Tower of Babel. Man tries to build a Tower to Heaven and is struck down and divided by God to deny Him access.
