Nezarec Theory Time!

Ah yes. The over-speculated but curious name Nezarec, has so far popped up twice. I’m sure you all know from where at this point. Now, in the second mention as the renegade/Shin recites the places Drifter has been, Nezarec either has multiple tombs, or has multiple set up for a sort of remembrance of him. Just a warning, I will be speculating that this “Nezarec” is either Hive or Darkness related. Hive, and the Darkness in general has always given me of a sort-of Lovecraftian vibe. Hell, the Darkness is even a title in the Lovecraftian universe. Now, in the helmet’s description, Nezarec is referred to as a sort of “fiend”, and at the same time, a god. If some parts of Destiny are truly influenced by the Lovecraftian universe, then using these descriptors we will be able to deduce what god is being mentioned. By no means am I an expert of Mythos deities of any kind, so bear with me. If there is a god that comes with a much more similar resemblance, feel free to tell me. One god I could find that mentioned 3 important locations, was a god named Suc’Naath. It is essentially a tornado, which would show pained faces emerging from the violet/yellow-ish wind, and screams could be heard coming from it. That would certainly fit the “pain” descriptor of the helmet. The beast (or tornado, I suppose) has been divided into 3 parts. One, into a comet. Another in a statue located somewhere (not mentioned where) in the World, and the third piece is held genetically within humans. If all three were to combine, Suc’Naath would awake. Now comes the real speculative stuff. [quote]He shall rise again.[/quote] Possibly quoting the union of all 3 pieces of His essence to be reborn. [quote]When the guiding shine fades and all is lost He will call to you.[/quote] Humans who hold this genetic abnormality either had used magic before, or has/had gone insane. We have used a sort of magic, so the question is if we hold this “gene” as well? [quote]”...Is that he will never cower when dusk does fall...”[/quote] He is considered a “mindless” god in the Lovecraftian universe. It could be he cannot cower because he doesn’t know how to. Plus he is a tornado. That’s all I have for now. Sorry this was so long. Feel free to leave your thoughts. Edit: A side note that the name Golgoroth from the King’s Fall raid was ripped directly from the Mythos, thus reinforcing the relation of possible influences. Edit 2: I looked to make sure, Nezarec has at least 4 tombs, not 3. My point still stands, doesn’t mean that Nezarec was ripped entirely from the Mythos. Could be inspired. After all, Golgoroth wasn’t a massive frog in the game, it was an Ogre.

      You’re ignoring the most important piece of information. Nezarec is a [i]pre-golden age myth[/i]. It’s extremely unlikely that it has anything to do with any enemy race. Remember that pre-golden age is basically our irl universe. It’s mostly likely a cult with multiple sites dedicated to Nezarec.

        *not a spinfoil hat theory* [quote] The shamans of the old world were said to have covered their eyes so they could see the dead. I believe these men and women were the first to discover the power of the Void, and in the Traveler's light we have succeeded in refining their methods, in charting the courses they pioneered. When you blink, you'll know the way.[/quote] What I find interesting is during the voidwalker mission, during the creepy story time, Tyra Kahn’s voice tells us that our ancestors tried to use the void to communicate with there dead, and that these people where called shamans.. I don’t remember the exact quote but I believe it was referring to before the golden age. Now we know nezaract is somehow connected to the void. A interesting lead and that’s all though Found the quote

        • <Like previously said, it's a pre-Golden Age myth carried somewhat into the Golden Age. Obviously it was popular enough to have locations dedicated to it in space. Unless the Hive, Cabal, Darkness, Traveler, or Vex have been to Earth before there is no reason to speculate so much on Nezarec. He is a falsehood. If he ends up being anything, literally anything, noteworthy it's probably just some Jovian.>

          • Where do you see the second mention of Nezerac? If his name is starting to pop up more often then it’s not unreasonable to assume he’ll make an appearance in the game (like they name dropped Oryx and now Savathun)
