Destiny 2 - Myths and Ztories

We discuss our first impressions of the Season of Plunder from a Lore perspective, and talk about the new lore cards that have come with the season. We also discuss a theory that points to Strand maybe not being as “new” as we originally thought.   Follow us on Twitter @mythsandztories to get updates on new episodes!
