2/15/12: Francisco Porras, I'll miss you. Rest in Peace.

I really do hope Destiny works itself into your theory, confirming it. That would be like the coolest thing ever.

This would be the biggest speculation confirm in gaming.

This would floor me 4 times more than when I accurately guessed the premise of a halo 4 mission in a question to Franky at SDCC 2012 :)

Why would you want to go there? They're way behind us.

I would. Here, we've realized that there is no ARG, while /v/ is still trying to "hack" destiny.com and making ridiculous connections that make no sense, either practically or in some kind of alternate universe where there's an ARG going.

I don't know if you guys have noticed yet, but the crest on the knight's cape in this picture is a German eagle from the Holy Roman Empire (http://marshall.csu.edu.au/Marshalls/html/Flags_and_Seals/Ger manEagle.JPG).
The credit for making the connection goes to King Leopold789:

There's nothing generic about a man wearing an armour holding a long-range weapon, wearing a Bane-like mask and to top it off, wearing a red cape with an anglo-saxon crest on it.
that is actually a german eagle from the HRE, NOT anglo-saxons..

The Joyeuse IP Formula

Ok, so I did a little searching around.

That particular eagle is certainly German, but is specifically associated with the Marshall Islands. The Marshall Islands were sold to Germany, but relinquished by Germany at the end of World War I. This is where the eagle starts popping up in Marshall Islands history. (Source: See "German Colonial Period")

That said, the German eagle (of any variation) started to show up when Charlemagne was crowned. (Source)

I'm excited about this new connection, especially the Marshall Islands part.

The city on the map that SonicJohn and others were piecing together is, as we understand it, Puerto Princesa in the Philippines. The Marshall Islands are on the other side of the Philippines from Puerto Princesa, to the far east in what's called "Micronesia." this is mainly just coincidence, but we are in general southeast Asia.

Long story short, the Marshall Islands might be relevant, or that variation of the German eagle was chosen for its artistic appeal.

I would only assume the Eagle on the person's back would represent the rank of that person. It seems like he's the commander of that certain military force.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

I used to live in Guam, right near the islands of Micronesia and part of the Mariana islands, I find this turn of events exciting.

Guam today is an important U.S Territory and the site of an airforce base and a navy base.

I've always been a fan of your theories. Personally, even when there's a lot of evidence, I don't have my hopes up in case it doesn't happen. But here, everything indicates otherwise. Seems like you just figured out something truly amazing.

Hats off to Cortana, again. =)

are you saying S'shuth is a reference to a human who ended up saving the remainder of the human race under the traveller?

That is the final screen of Marathon Infinity. Although, I can't remember who S'Shuth was, but I don't think he was human. Maybe he was a Jjaro?

Destiny may have many plot throwbacks to Marathon. The final line of that screen even says, "You are Destiny."

Some have theorized that the final screen not only congratulates the player, but cryptically sends them off to the next game universe.

I posted this in your other thread, but I'll say it again:

Awesome post Cortana. Every time I read this, my hype levels for the next IP go through the roof.

If it becomes apparent that there is a giant formula to all of Bungie's games, they will have proved to me that they really are unmatched when it comes to detail.

Over-arching plots between different IPs? Blows my mind.
