Sent from the Elakha Alliance in thanks for your wonderful donations 🥰💜 Thanks again for donating & supporting sea otter restoration in Oregon (which is wildly outside of Destiny 2 lore, F1, & Ancient Greek bullsh*t). We really do appreciate you playing along with us & our niche otter interest 🥹

Thank you to everyone who donated to the otters during our fundraiser 💜🥹 Every single donation, big and smol, is so very appreciated. We reached our personal goal of over $200! 🥳 Back to our regularly scheduled Destiny/F1/AGBS podcast episodes starting next week.

We're in the final days of our #weotterbringthemback campaign with the @elakhaalliance.bsky.social! To prevent this otter from going to prison, please donate to the link below.👇 Link: givebutter.com/WeOtterBring...

We’re also now on YouTube Music 🥰 Rindel spent an inordinate amount of time uploading 212+ episodes (more like 250 with all our little lores) to that hellsite. Here is our most recent episode! music.youtube.com/watch?v=zSb_...

Ep 212: Heresy and Truth, pt 1 Join Orchid and Rindel as they talk about F1 hot gossip, all the giant Destiny news that dropped about next year, and read the first half of the seasonal lore book Heresy and Truth. Please donate to our #WeOtterBringThemBack campaign!

Surfer population too high? @elakhaalliance.bsky.social’s got your back with the #WeOtterBringThemBack campaign! Donate now so we can have more of this in Oregon: Link: givebutter.com/WeOtterBring...

Ep 211: Guardian Games 2025 and Ancient Greek BS, ✨the SPECIAL✨ Join Rindel and Orchid as they read this year’s guardian games lore, and then Rindel unleashes Orchid for two hours to talk about a BUNCH of Destiny weapons and their connection to AGBS.

Guardian Games is almost here, and the new Arc Trace Rifle is named Keraunios Did you know this word has deep roots in ancient Greek? Let’s talk about κεραύνιος (keraunios), the thunderbolt, divine wrath, & what it means for Destiny 🧵⬇️ (aka its Orchid’s AGBS time 🤩)

Guardians of Lore: the only Destiny podcast where you get a full understanding of Formula 1 and its gossip every season.

Ep 208: The Garden Way pt 2 Join Rindel and Orchid as they talk about the new season, get excited about the return of F1 (note: this is not an F1 podcast), and finish The Garden Way lore book. Stay for Otter News in the end!

For everyone complaining: we’re still on strike. We would like to work, but until we get a fair deal, our concerns regarding AI addressed, etc, we will not. I’m sorry this affects your games, but it also affects our ability to pay our rent and grocery bills.

Welp! Until Bluesky gives us a longer video limit, I’ll have to post YouTube links. So 2025’s first Guardians of Memes video made from @guardiansoflore.bsky.social Episode 198! Just some of the mischief for you to enjoy: youtube.com/shorts/a8PhE...

Oh hey 👋 How’s your 2025 so far? ✅ Southern California is on fire ✅ 1/2 of our hosts had covid ✅ The other host had intermittent power because of fire We’re doing great - we actually recorded an episode amidst all of that. Look for it next week. 🫡🥲 Bonus: pic of Orchid’s work cat, Stripes.

Happy new year! We’re still around (somehow). 😏 Back to your regularly scheduled otter news in a week or so now that Orchid has their voice back.

Little Lore: Alethonym The Ancient Greek BS episode is here, and it’s all about the exotic grenade launcher, Alethonym. Learn how to pronounce it, learn some philosophy, learn why Orchid was speedrunning 🍷 while recording. Happy holidays from both of us! 💜🎄

Ep 205: Shadestalker Armour Join Orchid and Rindel as they talk F1 (this is not an F1 podcast), Episode: Revenant gripes, and stay for otter news.

Side Quest 4: Dragon Age: The Veilguard review Orchid gets out their brainrot & Rindel learns about Thedas in this very lengthy review of DA4 (catered towards Destiny players). The first half tries to be spoiler-free. Next episode: back to our regularly scheduled Destiny lore.

Rindel’s still editing our next side quest episode (LOOK I HAVE A LOT TO SAY ABOUT DRAGON AGE) but I *think* we’re still recording over Thanksgiving 🙂‍↕️ Tell us how you feel 1-9 in cat. 🐱

Next week: Dragon Age: The Veilguard review. It is very long.

Why are people not believing me when I say this isn’t going to be an F1 podcast?

After six wonderful years of guiding us through the incredible world of Destiny lore, our cohost & founder, Ellimist, has made the decision to step down as a host of Guardians of Lore. We wouldn’t be where we are today without his dedication & friendship. Thank you for everything. 💜

Little Lore: Icebreaker Join Ellimist, Rindel and Orchid as they let Ellimist out of the basement, talk about FOTL, Rindel discusses his tertiary hobby, Orchid can’t help but talk F1, Ellimist has an announcement, and they talk Old Chicago.

lore people get me like

Thank you to @rindelzivas.bsky.social and @anarmyofbees.bsky.social for enabling my (Orchid)’s brainrot with the Vyrantium edition of Dragon Age: The Veilguard for my birthday 😭 (as modelled here by Max Meowstappen).

Welcome back, Guardians! We missed you. Glad you found us. *finger guns* 😎👉👉

Yo. So, Rindel is fully off the bird app, and Orchid is…mostly off of it. (They’re still there for a large group chat and F1 gossip.) This will be our main social media from now on. You can find Rindel here: @rindelzivas.bsky.social Orchid is here: @heyitsorchid.bsky.social

Ep 204: Polyphony, pt 2 Join Rindel and Orchid as they excitedly talk about F1 (this is not an F1 podcast), Vespers, definitely not Dragon Age, and descend into the second half of the seasonal lore book, Polyphony. It gets pretty dark, here.

Ep 203: Polyphony, pt 1 Join Rindel and Orchid as they go over the first half of the seasonal lore book, talk about Eido’s tonics shop, Onslaught, the new dungeon, and F1 IS BACK BAYBEEE (this is not an F1 podcast).

What are you playing this week if you aren’t grinding the dungeon?

Hi everyone 😗 We’re just as unhinged as a sliding glass door over here as we are on twitter, so glad to see you.

Oh yeah, we’ve been doing this podcast for six years now. Happy anniversary us 💜

Ep 202: Untethered Edge Armour Join Orchid and Rindel as they excitedly talk about Failsafe and her seasonal goings on (they refuse to call it an *episode*), the lack of F1 (F-none amiright 😣), and they inadvertently figure out that Destiny 2 is a game inside a game.

This week: Recording: TAKING A WEEK OFF (Rindel is going to a convention) Releasing when it’s done because failsafe takes awhile to edit: Ep 20…1? 202? Seasonal armour. Wait for it. 😚

Little Lore: Acolyte’s Staff Join Ellimist and Orchid as they talk about weekly gameplay (or at the time of recording, lack thereof), the seasonal artefact, and where they think the rest of the story will go before The Final Shape. 🟢 spotify.link/9bOWjBSEBDb
