Lore from the post-Collapse period known as the Dark Age describes them as baby-eaters our experiences have shown them to be either sniveling and cowardly or scheming and thieving. Our Guardian has been told for nearly seven years that the Fallen are at once the most pitiful scavengers and most dangerous threat to humanity in the universe. When he begins to decline her plea, citing his duty to protect his people, Ikora does the unthinkable: she offers the House of Light asylum within the City’s walls.ĭesperate times call for desperate measures, but this simple gesture almost single-handedly flips the dynamic between humanity and the Eliksni on its head.Īnti-Eliksni dogma is especially strong among Guardians and citizens of the City. Ikora wants to enlist Mithrax’s help in stopping the Vex because, as he confirms with us, Mithrax is a Sacred Splicer, a class of Eliksni hacker whose specific goal is infiltrating the Vex network. Once there, our Guardian has a rendezvous with Mithrax, the newly-minted Kell of House Light, an Eliksni faction that seeks to coexist with humanity in the Light of the Traveler. In Season of the Splicer, the Vex have taken a page out of The Matrix ’s handbook and, through one of their simulations, scorched the sky into an “Endless Night.” Vanguard Warlock Ikora Rey can’t disperse the simulation, even with former Vanguard Commander (and Vex expert… Vexpert?) Osiris’s help, so she deploys our Guardian to Europa.
And the imbroglio we find ourselves caught up in is much more serious than a simple City council election. Now, in Season 14, Season of the Splicer, our Guardian is faced with a never-before-seen challenge: local politics.
We’ve gone from being avatars of the purest Light to beings that will frequently indulge in Darkness. We’ve allied with enemies and made enemies out of former allies. See, we’ve been busy out in the Solar System. As we careen toward the next expansion due out in 2022, tentatively called The Witch Queen, the consequences of our actions in each season are starting to stick around. Lore and story are gradually synchronizing, migrating out of the expansion campaign and into the seasonal content. This situation has been slowly improving since 2019’s Shadowkeep and 2020’s Beyond Light expansions. Destiny 2’s story is finally great, but the game hasn’t caught up
