Lore
The world is very big again.
It used to be small. I know because I was born inside its commwire-satellite-datawave skeleton.
But even before that, before the Traveler wove us into a tapestry of peculiar threads, this was a planet of big, big worlds.
Many of those worlds were lost in a collapse, but not the one you're thinking of. Before the great Collapse, there was another. A longer, slower, bitterer collapse.
Some things survive. Names upon rusted signs, phrases in impervious microfiche. As other Guardians save humans, I save words. I save stories.
That is my mission, here on the shores of the Hawkesbury Sea. I surface the survivors. The sweet-voiced koodelong. The swift gangurru. The sharp-fanged tarrabah.
It's a mission the Traveler started. After all, she surfaced me.
Trivia
- "Tarrabah" is a Blackfulla word for the Tasmanian Devil; "gangurru" the name of the Kangaroo; and "koodelong" the name of the Grey Shrikethrush.
- With the default skin or Voracious ornament equipped, the design of Tarrabah is designed to mimic the face of an actual Tasmanian Devil: the angled foregrip mimics the mouth of a beast with fangs at either end, and the barrel reflects the snout — while the eyes are located under the iron sights, or on the small red dot just above the grip, respectively.
- Furthermore, the Voracious ornament directly depicts a Tasmanian Devil with two tails on the side of the gun; upon full charge, and while Ravenous Beast is active, it is lit up bright red.
- The "Hawkesbury Sea" is (presumably) a reference to the current day Hawkesbury River on the east coast of Australia.
- The Woomera B-5 description states that a clan of Warlocks, the Fighting Dharug, inhabit and guard the Hawkesbury Sea, perhaps suggesting that the person speaking in the Lore may be among their rank.
- Tarrabah is the only Raid Exotic that seems to have no lore or story relationship to the Raid which it comes from, instead referencing our own world and history.
