[quote]I've seen gameplay of hive on Earth, the Moon (duh), and Venus, and Fallen in all 4 locations. Since Cabal and Vex are at war with each other then I would assume some Cabal will be on Venus and some Vex will be on Mars, but will they also be found on Earth and the Moon a little too, or are they higher level enemies that make Venus and Mars harder to tread on?[/quote] Yup. Each Species has a designated planet (Fal-Earth, Hiv-Moon, Vex-Venus, Cabal-Mars) that they set up their major base of operations. Gameplay wise there is two species a planet. The old species from the last planet and the new species. Earth and the Moon contain Fallen and Hive since the Moon is a part of Earth and Earth would only have one. Venus then has Vex and Hive (New-Old) and Mars has Cabal and Vex (I would assume there will also be Fallen on all planets, given how the "Houses" work). [quote]Also, I've heard rumors and seen images of a so-called "fifth (alien) race" in Destiny, which flies giant black pyramid ships, and are presumably the "darkness". Will these be end-game enemies, or can we expect to see them in sequels later in the story arc, or am I just too hopeful for more enemies to knife in the face?[/quote] Ahh yes. If you look deeper I talked about this. The Darkness is the ancient enemy of the Travler, caused the collapse, blah blah blah. They [b]will[/b] be fightable and I think they might be represented by Dragons. The concept art and the achievement (revealed by DeeJ's mailsack) "DragonSlayer: Kill a champion of the Darkness". [quote]Lastly, I've heard a lot about a raid called Charlemagne's Vault early on this year, and is the location where you can earn an exotic weapon called "Thorn". Is this the vault of glass, downgraded to a strike, cut content, or what? Just confused about it a little, lol.[/quote] Charlesmange Vault is a strike/location. It is found in the Dust Palace, Mars. It plays a major role in collecting thorn, but datamine information reveals a bit more about it (which is in an older comment). Essentially you get a message from the Warlock Vangaurd to find a shard of Charlemange, you got there and get an ancient handcannon, you do more stuff and things and get a "corrupted thorn", then you do more stuff and things and get the thorn.
