Destiny Lore Books

publishing and copyrights

Is this an official project?

Does Bungie know you made this?

Isn't this copyright of some sort?

Can you sell copies of your books?

What if I would like to donate to the project?

No, this is an unofficial project and has no affiliation with official Bungie Products.

Probably, they do frequent the Destiny Reddit and I am sure they know about it. But there has been no communication between Bungie and myself regarding the creation of this project.

No, Bungie terms and conditions allow any fan to create and publish content of their game, they retain the right to change the terms in regards to any specific content and can take ownership of content at there discretion.

That would be a definite NO, as I don't own any of the content inside the books (all lore was created by Bungie's talented writers) I, nor anyone else are allowed to restrict access to this content behind payments and cannot use the content for commercial use, or post on commercial websites.

If you wished to donate money as a thanks, I have set up a donation link here on the website. I will not and cannot accept money for printing copies of the book or for private editions. All donations are greatly appreciated but there is no necessity to do so.

downloads and printing

How do I download the books?

What download options are there?

What is the best way to view the PDF?

How do I print the book?

This is super easy, just click on the download button up in the top right to go to the downloads page. There you can download the volumes currently available. Clicking the option you want will begin the download.

Currently the only options will be high quality PDF formats, I plan to have eReader formats available at a later date.

If you are reading the books on your computer as a PDF you will want to set up your PDF reader to show you two pages at once, this way the double spread pages will match up and look like they are meant to.

Some eReaders that take PDF may automatically do this for you.

There are a few options for printing, if you have a ton of paper you can choose to  print the PDF directly off, this will lose quality and take a lot of ink but it is the quick option. 

For those people who are desperate to print, Blurb allows you to upload PDF files for printing, Download the zip files and extract the PDF files (cover and book).

Head on over to the website with your files and upload them as separate cover and book files. the book sizing will be automatically set from the PDF, Let blurb automatically adjust for size and everything will be fine. but you will still want to select 'image wrap hard cover' for the cover and either 'standard paper' or 'premium paper, matte'.

-This process should only be used for printing your individual copy and strictly cannot be used for mass printing or sale.

destiny's lore

Where can I learn more about Destiny?

Who do I ask if I have any questions regarding the Lore?

Head to the Destiny Lore page on this website for links to really helpful sights to grow your knowledge of the Lore. I would recommend starting with the youtube options such as My name is Byf.

The best place to ask questions is on Reddit, head over to r/DestinyTheGame. A lot of Destiny's players can answer your questions here. You can also visit the forums on Ishtar Collective.
