The '''Future War Cult''' ('''FWC''') | The '''Future War Cult''' ('''FWC''') is one of the factions of the [[Guardians]] of the [[City]].<ref name= "Destiny Drawing Board">[http://www.bungie.net/7_Destiny-Drawing-Board-Conduit-F3/en/News/News?aid=11179 '''Bungie.net''': ''Destiny Drawing Board - Conduit F3'']</ref> Members of the Cult are known for their military prowess as well as their secrecy. They believe that war with the [[Darkness]] is inevitable, whether they stay on [[Earth]] or [[Dead Orbit|attempt to flee]], and therefore they must be ready to fight. They are also deeply concerned with fate, and whether or not it is possible to alter history altogether. The Cult is led by a group called the Inner Circle.<ref name = "Alpha">'''Bungie (2014-6-12)''', ''Destiny: Alpha PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard.''</ref> | ||
==Overview== | |||
Archaeological findings indicate that they have existed as early as the late [[Golden Age]].<ref name = "Destiny">'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies#Future_War_Cult|Future War Cult]]''</ref> The Future War Cult was founded by Dr. [[Maya Sundaresh]] and her team in Lhasa, as a result of their experiments on a [[Vex]]-inspired mind-forking device used to look into the future. This device caused its users to become mentally unstable, and they began worshipping the device as a god.<ref>'''Bungie (2015-9-17)''', ''Destiny: The Taken King, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies#Ghost Fragment: Vex 5|Ghost Fragment: Vex 5]]''</ref> The modern FWC recovered the design of the device and rebuilt it within the safety of [[The City]]. Use of the device was abandoned when most users became insane, reporting different timelines where the Darkness is victorious or the City had fallen. This device forms the basis of FWC's beliefs.<ref name = "Destiny"/> The users of the device likely did not want to be in a reality where the city is fallen to the Darkness.<ref name = "Destiny"/> Perhaps this is the very reason why fundamental Future War Cult ideals consist of the need to prepare for the inevitable wars of the future.<ref name = "Destiny"/> | |||
The Future War Cult was once an outsider faction. When the [[Concordat]] faction fell from grace, the Future War Cult was selected to replace it in the [[Consensus]] and was granted access to the [[Tower]]. The Consensus felt that the Cult's philosophy was more interesting than dangerous, and its focus on combat would both attract former Concordat members and aid in the Guardians' effort to restore the City's territory.<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Places#Ghost Fragment: The City Age|Ghost Fragment: The City]]''</ref> | |||
Recently, Future War Cult has been investigating the disappearances of certain Guardians who have apparently been lost to time. These Guardians are [[Praedyth]], [[Ana Bray]], and [[Pujari]].<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJZdlskC9Rw '''Youtube''': Destiny Taken King: How to Get No Time to Explain - Exotic Pulse Rifle]</ref> The exotic quest for the [[Pulse Rifle]] [[No Time To Explain]] includes visits to the War Cult's leader [[Lakshmi-2]] in between quest steps, including when players turn in items such as a bracelet that belonged to [[Ana Bray]], one of the founders of the research group [[Clovis Bray]], as well as a dead [[Ghost]] marked with an FWC paint job, possibly meaning that one of the people lost to the Vex inside the [[Vault of Glass]] was once a member of the Cult. | |||
The | The onset of the [[Red War]] was actually predicted by the FWC but no one believed their warnings, some even laughed at them and even called Lakshmi-2 a zealot. Despite this, the FWC was prepared when the [[Red Legion]] arrived and invaded, fighting the [[Cabal]] back. They used this as a rallying cry to recruit more Guardians to their cause during the [[Faction Rallies]]. | ||
