What this book is about

This Destiny 1 Grimoire book collects the Vanguard's notes on the Vex Axis Minds, the individual machines that hold the plans and goals for the Vex around them. You move through Gate Lords like Zydron and Qodron, the Prohibitive Mind fighting the Cabal in Meridian Bay, and Sekrion, which drives the Vex network's spread through the crust of Venus.

The book also covers the Vault of Glass: the Gorgons, whose gaze can erase what they see, the Templar and Oracles guarding the deeper Vault, and Atheon, an entity that seems to sit outside ordinary cause and effect.

Ikora writes to Zavala about the three Axis Minds found near the abomination at the heart of the Black Garden and what the Vex may have been worshipping there. Later entries follow the Vanguard chasing an undying mind, and they close with uneasy questions about what the Vex might really be capable of.

Zydron, Gate Lord

The intelligence we call Zydron seems to exist in a liminal state, stretched between gates in the Vex network. It manifests as a physical being only when called.

Warlock scholars believe that Gate Lords regulate traffic between Vex gates, and that their minds contain codes that might open the way into forbidden realms. An enormous amount of hope and anger has been spent on a particular debate - could we find a Vex gate that opens onto a place and time before the Collapse, and somehow forestall it?
