Riddle of the Forgotten (SOLVED AND EXPLAINED)

[i]Long ago, I was an agent of kings, and I sped the growth of their power. I saw the triumphs of the ancient victors, and led their attacks farther than any before me. I sat atop a throne of glory, garbed in bright armor, with the azure crown of the shadow warriors around my head. But I was not honest with the watchers. I am not youthful and alive as I once was, though I still have my visions. The stench of the grave creeps toward me, weakening me and pulling me down. My splendor was short-lived. Now I am alone, rejected and rotting, with no purpose to guide me. My masters employ dark, menacing warriors who ravage the homes of their enemies, slaying them all. But they will not stand against what is coming. Then I see him. A man, clad in the garb of the dark warriors, walks toward me. He gives me a new weapon, one that will destroy all before me in a furious blaze. I look out at my old homeland, which I no longer recognize. For better or for worse, I have returned. [/i] Hint 1: [i]My master is hidden in darkness, yet he sees, and others see him. I may try to hide in a different darkness, but I am too bright. My brothers' masters are hidden as well, but not in darkness. [/i] Hint 2: [i]I have been here since the beginning, but I was hidden. They robbed my fallen master, not my first master or my current master, but he stands again. Will his strength grow again to reach its former glory? [/i] Hint 3: [i]I once stood beside the unbeliever and the transparent (who is shaped as his brother), all servants of the same master. The transparent is seldom seen anymore, but the unbeliever lives on. [/i] Hint 4: [i]I am not in the records you obsess over, yet all know me. You have seen me in your travels, but still you forget me. My true masters will punish you, and their fire will cover all, burning the flesh from your bones. [/i] Hint 5: [i]My true masters are infinite, endless, unstoppable. I dream of a time where they will return, and all of your wayward actions shall be corrected. Protect me, o guardian, and you shall be rewarded.[/i] Hint 6: [i]I am an ancient relic, but I use technology you cannot comprehend. I serve you well, but I am long dead. You found me trapped in a lawless world and reunited me with my brothers, and as thanks I will tell you how to make my masters feed you power.[/i] Edit 1: Added last paragraph Edit 2: Added hint Edit 3: Added hint 2 Edit 4: Added hint 3 Edit 5: Added hint 4 Edit 6: Added hint 5 (thanks to The Tree of Ruin) Edit 7: Added hint 6 Edit 8: I'll make it official. It's from the Vault of Glass. Hint 7 coming tomorrow! Edit 9: It's been solved!

        Full Explanation: [i]Long ago, I was an agent of kings, and I sped the growth of their power. I saw the triumphs of the ancient victors, and led their attacks farther than any before me. I sat atop a throne of glory, garbed in bright armor, with the azure crown of the shadow warriors around my head. But I was not honest with the watchers. I am not youthful and alive as I once was, though I still have my visions. The stench of the grave creeps toward me, weakening me and pulling me down.[/i] Kings= Hezen Lords Sped the growth of their power= Inverse Shadow perk Triumphs of ancient victors= Guardians hitting 30 in vanilla game Led their attacks farther than any before me= Energy Projection perk Throne of glory= Head of a maxed out Guardian Bright armor= Chatterwhite shader, also from VoG Azure crown of the shadow warriors= Blue fire from Nightfall buff (Bungie often jokes about flaming ninjas) But I was... my visions= Facade can mean "false front", description says the Vex cells in it are dead, but they still dream Stench of the grave= TDB, which made the Facade obsolete [i]My splendor was short-lived. Now I am alone, rejected and rotting, with no purpose to guide me. My masters employ dark, menacing warriors who ravage the homes of their enemies, slaying them all. But they will not stand against what is coming. [/i] My splendor... guide me= Left in vault or in inventory, but not used Dark, menacing warriors= TDB armor Ravage the homes of their enemies= Crota's End takes place in Crota's realm What is coming= HoW [i]Then I see him. A man, clad in the garb of the dark warriors, walks toward me. He gives me a new weapon, one that will destroy all before me in a furious blaze. I look out at my old homeland, which I no longer recognize. For better or for worse, I have returned. [/i] Man= Guardian Garb of the dark warriors= Crota's End armor New weapon... furious blaze= Etheric Light Old homeland= Destiny's meta, which changed with both TDB and HoW [i]Hint 1: My master is hidden in darkness, yet he sees, and others see him. I may try to hide in a different darkness, but I am too bright. My brothers' masters are hidden as well, but not in darkness. [/i] My master= Guardian Hidden, yet he sees= Facemask is black I may try... too bright= Even with an all black shader, the lights around the face stay orange My brothers' masters... not in darkness= The other parts of the armor set hide the rest of the Guardian [i]Hint 2: I have been here since the beginning, but I was hidden. They robbed my fallen master, not my first master or my current master, but he stands again. Will his strength grow again to reach its former glory? [/i] The beginning= Vanilla game Hidden= Not found until VoG was beaten in hard mode They robbed... stands again= Pushing off Atheon, which was patched First master= Hezen Lords Current master= Guardian Will his strength grow again?= Talk of a new, higher level mode for VoG [i]Hint 3: I once stood beside the unbeliever and the transparent (who is shaped as his brother), all servants of the same master. The transparent is seldom seen anymore, but the unbeliever lives on. [/i] Unbeliever= Vex Mythoclast (Mythoclast literally means breaker of myths) Transparent= Aspect of Glass ship (Glass is transparent), and it has the same shape as the ship from normal mode Atheon Same master= They all drop from Atheon The transparent is seldom seen= The ship isn't used much anymore Unbeliever lives on= The Vex is still viable in PvE and PvP [i]Hint 4: I am not in the records you obsess over, yet all know me. You have seen me in your travels, but still you forget me. My true masters will punish you, and their fire will cover all, burning the flesh from your bones. [/i] I am not... all know me= Not in Grimoire, but most have heard of it You have seen... forget me= Most know of it, but no one had guessed it yet True masters= Hezen Lords Their fire... your bones= Hezen Vengeance (also from the Hezen Lords) has high blast radius and MIRV rounds, and does Solar [i]Hint 5: My true masters are infinite, endless, unstoppable. I dream of a time where they will return, and all of your wayward actions shall be corrected. Protect me, o guardian, and you shall be rewarded.[/i] (By The Tree of Ruin) Infinite, endless, unstoppable= Reference to description of Hezen Vengeance Corrected= Hezen Corrective Protect= Hezen Protective [i]Hint 6: I am an ancient relic, but I use technology you cannot comprehend. I serve you well, but I am long dead. You found me trapped in a lawless world and reunited me with my brothers, and as thanks I will tell you how to make my masters feed you power.[/i] I am... cannot comprehend= From long, long ago, but we don't understand Vex tech Long dead= From item description Lawless world= VoG (The laws of time as we understand them do not apply there) Brothers= The rest of the armor set Feed you power= The Vex Striker, Vex Breaker, and Inverse Shadow perks all help Supers recharge faster

        • Ok here we go (this will probably be long as hell lol) "Long ago, I was an agent of kings, and I sped the growth of their power. I saw the triumphs of the ancient victors, and led their attacks farther than any before me. I sat atop a throne of glory, garbed in bright armor, with the azure crown of the shadow warriors around my head. But I was not honest with the watchers. I am not youthful and alive as I once was, though I still have my visions. The stench of the grave creeps toward me, weakening me and pulling me down." This paragraph explains how the Facade of the Hezen Lords was the helmet rewarded for completing Vault of Glass on Normal or Hard mode. In vanilla Destiny, it was the best legendary helmet in the game, since it was the only one that could get you to level 30. It showed that you conquered the most difficult part of the game at the time. The helmet itself has a glowing frame with a dark center where the face would be, maybe it references the vex. As time went on and TDB was upon us, the helmet was undermined by the new raid gear, so it ultimately "went to the grave" with other vanilla items. "My splendor was short-lived. Now I am alone, rejected and rotting, with no purpose to guide me. My masters employ dark, menacing warriors who ravage the homes of their enemies, slaying them all. But they will not stand against what is coming." The helmet was a top tier item for a while, and was reduced to mediocrity once TDB came out. The dark warriors could reference the Crota gear that guardians used in favor of the VoG gear at the time. The last line references ascension in HoW. "Then I see him. A man, clad in the garb of the dark warriors, walks toward me. He gives me a new weapon, one that will destroy all before me in a furious blaze. I look out at my old homeland, which I no longer recognize. For better or for worse, I have returned." This paragraph talks about ether if light and ascension in HoW. I don't know who the man is, but the weapon must be etheric light, which allowed the helmet to be viably used again. The homeland is the world of Destiny, which has changed drastically from the DLCs. The last line shows how the helmet has been restored to its former glory.

                    is it one of these: Found Verdict, Praedyth's Revenge, Fatebringer, Corrective Measure, Hezen Vengeance, Praetorian Foil, Praedyth's Timepiece, Atheon's Epilogue, Vision of Confluence, Battlecage of Kabr, light of the Great Prism, Kabr's Brazen Grips, Kabr's Wrath, Kabr's Forceful Greaves, Prime Zealot Helm, Shattered Vault Cloak, Prime Zealot Gloves, Prime Zealot Cuirass, Prime Zealot Greaves, Façade of the Hezen Lords, Fragment of the Prime, Gloves of the Hezen Lords, Cuirass of the Hezen Lords, Tread of the Hezen Lords, Chatterwhite, "Glass Minuet", XV0 "Timebreaker", Vex Mythoclast,"Aspect of Glass". its gotta be an armor piece! after reading all of them it sounds kinda like facade of the hezen lords because after reading all the hints over and over it kinda sounds like someone who is dreaming especially hint 5. and the in game description is as followed "The helm's nerve interface incorporates Vex cells. They're dead, of course. But not too dead to dream..."
