Famous Weapons Lore

[b][u]Weapon Foundries: Summary[/u][/b] Here, I seek to list all known foundries within the City, and pay some respect to other manufacturers beyond the Wall. 1. Suros (Suros Regime, foundry weapons ) 2. Hakke (foundry weapons) 3. Omolon (Hard Light, foundry weapons) 4. Tex Mechanica (Last Word, Chaperone) 5. Daito (Jade Rabbit) 6. Cassoid (Invective) 7. Nadir (No notable accomplishments) 8. Crux/Lomar (Gjallarhorn, Truth, Dragon's Breath) [u]1. Suros[/u] Heavily stylised "form over function" appearance with smooth curves, with weapons notable for customisation options. Primary colours include red, blue, white and black, with weapons utilising standard glimmer-based ammo. [u]2. Hakke[/u] Highly functional, modern looking style, weapons rigged for maximum damage potential and utilisation. Military greens, greys, browns and oranges are favoured, with mote traditional ballistics used. [u]3. Omolon[/u] Cut-down, futuristically stylised weaponry modded for situational effects. Dark blues and blacks are favoured, with weapons using experimental liquid or photonic ammunition. [u]4. Tex Mechanica[/u] Nostalgic "old western" themed weapons, hand crafted with an emphasis on bigger bullets and less trigger-pulls. Traditional wooden stocks are paired with ornate gold and silver patterns and sleight-of-hand tricks. [u]5. Daito[/u] Slick and extravagant weapon styles comprise Daito weapons, suggesting completion with Suros. More colourful purples and other rare colours are visible. [u]6. Cassoid[/u] Dark and heavy designs, favouring black and orange, place Cassoid in opposition to Omolon who use lighter, more advanced appearances. Ammo regeneration is notable as a possible trademark of Cassoid, who seem to mainly focus on the production of secondary weapons. [u]7. Nadir[/u] Very little has been shown of Nadir concurrently, but what is visible is functional, military-grade colouration rivalling Hakke in design and primarily producing shotguns. [u]8. Crux/Lomar[/u] Dedicated entirely to rocket launchers, Crux and Lomar each have their own unique themes (Gjallarhorn-Crux/Truth-Lomar) but have been shown to break their own trends when designing new products (e.g. Dragon's Breath). Notable here also are the Queen's foundries. Using primarily standard design patterns, Reef forces have now begun integrating Fallen design motifs into their weapons (e.g. Vestian Dynasty) including shock energy weapons.

So we now know that Weapon Foundries are coming into Destiny, what other Manufacturers could make an appearance in Destiny? _____ [spoiler]We know Suros from the infamous [b]Suros Regime[/b], recently matched [b]Hardlight[/b] to the Omolon foundry, and uncovered a new manufacturer called Hakke which we have no relation to pre TTK. I know these aren't the only three weapon manufacturers in Destiny. I could only find one other in the grimoire: Crux/Lomar. Two specialized engineers who are responsible for the [b]Truth[/b] and [b]Dragon's Breath[/b] rocket launchers. Leaving me to believe if they do make it back into Destiny they will be producing explosive weapons that continuously push the limits of technological achievement. One last thing I would like to share is [b]Icebreaker[/b] was a prototype series of sniper rifles made by multiple weapon manufacturers working together; later canceled after its first field test once it was discovered to be quite lethal to its wielder.[/spoiler]

Is there any lore regarding the Hawkmoon? I don't recall seeing anything when I looked it up and I don't have the grimiore card.

I've heard about Jaren Ward and Shin Malphur before and their stories, but I don't really understand them. Could someone please explain them?
