After discovering the growing threat of [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen|Savathûn]] and hints that the [[Darkness]] was closer to humanity than they believed, Eris returned to the Last City to warn the Vanguard before venturing once more to the [[Moon]].

As with all Guardians, Eris does not remember her life before being resurrected by her [[Ghost]]. A series of messages sent to [[the Guardian]] from an unknown source provided a false account of her first life. Narrated by both "[[Medusa]]", a self-proclaimed [[craftmind]] from the Golden Age, and by "Eris" herself, these messages are gathered in the Lore book "[[Lore:Truth to Power|Truth to Power]]". | |||
However, a counter inquiry & investigation by Ikora Rey's Hidden agents revealed Eris was born a child of the Last City, over 300 years before her Guardian life. She was born to civilian parents in a neighbourhood inhabited civilians and Guardians alike. This was corroborated by Ghost recordings from the period and a double-blind forensic analysis.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/3/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Joker's Wild]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Stolen_Intelligence#Forgeries|Stolen Intelligence]]''</ref> | |||

When the [[Ahamkara]] on [[Venus]] began warping the world in dangerous and unexpected ways due to the strength they gained from wishes made by Guardians seeking more power, Eris participated in studying the effects of the Ahamkara, but as timelines began to fracture and some Guardians were driven to suicide by the paracausal phenomenon, the Vanguard prepared to exterminate them through the [[Great Ahamkara Hunt]]. Eris wrote to her friend [[Queen]] [[Mara Sov]] of the [[Reef]] to warn her of the coming hunt and shared her fears that some Ahamkara would flee to the far edges the [[Sol System]] to escape the Vanguard's reach. She pleaded with the Queen to kill any Ahamkara that entered her realm on sight if she truly cared for her people, as they were too dangerous to be left alive and used.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Activision Blizzard - [[Armor_of_the_Great_Hunt_(Hunter)#Mask_of_the_Great_Hunt|Mask of the Great Hunt]]''</ref> | When the [[Ahamkara]] on [[Venus]] began warping the world in dangerous and unexpected ways due to the strength they gained from wishes made by Guardians seeking more power, Eris participated in studying the effects of the Ahamkara, but as timelines began to fracture and some Guardians were driven to suicide by the paracausal phenomenon, the Vanguard prepared to exterminate them through the [[Great Ahamkara Hunt]].

In the early days of the Great Hunt, Eris was assigned to work with [[Wei Ning]] to eliminate seven Ahamkara. The fight with their first target lasted an entire day, as Eris watched Wei Ning fight their foe in hand-to-hand combat. She started to believe that Wei Ning was insane, a fear that was given strength when the Titan admitted to wishing that the fight would never end. Eris was horrified and told her to stop, as they needed to kill their other targets as well, but Wei Ning asked her to trust her. An hour later their other targets arrived, having been drawn in by the power the seventh was gathering from Wei Ning's wishes. Pulling out her [[Arc]] blades, Eris [[Blink]]ed and began her bloody work culling the Ahamkara. As their last foe felled, Eris believed she heard Wei Ning whisper something and asked what she said. However, the Titan stated she was about to ask her the same thing, leaving the two Guardians confused.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Activision Blizzard - [[Armor_of_the_Great_Hunt_(Hunter)#Vest_of_the_Great_Hunt|Vest of the Great Hunt]]''</ref> | In the early days of the Great Hunt, Eris was assigned to work with [[Wei Ning]] to eliminate seven Ahamkara.

During the battle, they whispered offers to Eris and showed her images that she believe came from her life before being revived as a Guardian. After an hour-long battle, the two emerged victoriously and gazed upon a mile of Ahamkara bones. As they prepared to destroy the bones and their whispers, Eris asked Ikora what they offered her. The Warlock stated that they probably offered them the same thing. Eris remained disturbed and stated that everything the Ahamkara said was true. Ikora warned her that sentiments like that led to morbid places and told her to take her Light north while she cut south. Eris was still focused upon what they showed her, but Ikora told her to focus as the two began summoning a storm of Light to destroy the bones. The whispers from the remains of the Ahamkara grew as their work progressed, to the point where Eris could not discern between the storm and the whispers.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Activision Blizzard - [[Armor_of_the_Great_Hunt_(Hunter)#Strides_of_the_Great_Hunt|Strides of the Great Hunt]]''</ref> | ||
A year into the Hunt, Eris fought alongside [[Zavala]] and Lord [[Shaxx]] against one Ahamkara. After they mortally wounded the beast, Eris and Zavala watched as Shaxx laid a hand on its snout. She wondered if he was gloating, but Zavala believed he was too pragmatic for that. Eris then suggested he might be mourning, which Zavala thought was a possibility. The Ahamkara began to glow then, causing Eris and Zavala to shield their eyes as it exploded. When they looked back Shaxx was standing in a crater and covered in green flames. As Eris and Zavala prepared to say something, Shaxx quieted them and told them to listen.

Together, they sought to discover a way to kill the Hive Prince [[Crota, Son of Oryx]], who led the Hive on the Moon and was responsible for the deaths of thousands of [[Guardian]]s. When their research brought no answers, they sought out [[Toland, the Shattered]], an exiled Warlock who was said to be insane but had unmatched knowledge of the Hive. From him, they learned that Crota could be killed for good if they entered the [[Ascendant Realm]] and slew him in his throne room. Armed with this knowledge, Eris, Eriana, and Toland recruited three more Guardians for their mission: the [[Titan (class)|Titan]] [[Vell Tarlowe]] and the Hunters [[Omar Agah]] and [[Sai Mota]].<ref>'''Bungie (2014/12/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Dark Below]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Activities/Raids#Crota.27s_End|Crota's End]]''</ref> Eris began to learn Hive lore from Toland, who explained how when Crota's will was challenged, he would unleash [[Ogre]]s known as the [[Might of Crota]]. She questioned if he had learned this knowledge from [[The Speaker]], but Toland claimed to have received it from the [[Darkness]] itself.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/12/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Dark Below]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Exalted_Hive#Might_of_Crota|Might of Crota]]''</ref> | ||
After landing on the Moon, the fireteam began to walk towards the [[Temple of Crota]] while questioning Toland about the Hive champions they would be facing. As they discussed the thousands of Guardians killed by the [[Blade of Crota|Blades of Crota]] and others like them, Eris worried that [[Light]] would not be enough for them to emerge victorious. Eriana told her that they could just take the blades of their foes and use those to cut them down if necessary. Eris was deeply concerned about using a weapon of the Darkness to fight their enemies, and Eriana claimed she would do anything for vengeance. Eris told her friend that she prayed it would not have to come to that.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/12/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Dark Below]], | After landing on the Moon, the fireteam began to walk towards the [[Temple of Crota]] while questioning Toland about the Hive champions they would be facing.

Vell reassured her he had faith in all their Light, but Eris did not believe that faith would help and told him that they had no time for individual battles and must fight together as a unit.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/12/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Dark Below]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Exalted_Hive#Sardon.2C_Fist_of_Crota|Sardon, Fist of Crota]]''</ref> | ||
Inside the Temple of Crota the Fireteam heard screams from deep in the Hive tunnels. Toland told them the screams came from [[Omnigul, Will of Crota]], and that they signified the birth of new spawn in the service of Crota and that if they killed her, Crota's threat in the physical world would be ended. Eris declared that they would follow her screams deeper into the tunnels.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/12/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Dark Below]], | Inside the Temple of Crota, the Fireteam heard screams from deep in the Hive tunnels.

Toland explained that those were Crota's eyes, leading the Guardians to be sacrificed to wake Crota by draining their Light. Eris berated him for holding onto his secrets like weapons and asked if he meant to damn them all.

As she skulked in the shadows of the tunnels to avoid the Hive, she heard screams from below and followed them into the darkest chambers of the Hive, where she saw that Omar had been captured by a [[Wizard]] called the [[Heart of Crota]]. Eris watched in horror as the Wizard flayed the Light from her fellow Hunter and used it to feed newly spawned Thrall. After seeing this, Eris believed Omar to be dead when actually, his soul was transferred into a [[Hive]] bug that she would later use to create [[Xenophage]] for the [[Young Wolf]].<ref>'''Bungie (2014/12/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Dark Below]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Exalted_Hive#Heart of Crota|Heart of Crota]]''</ref> | ||

With her escape from the Hellmouth, Eris returned to the Last City alive, but vastly changed by the experience. As she recovered from her experience she was cared for by her friend [[Asher Mir]]. Thanks to his compassion, Eris regained some hope and recovered some sense of her old self.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]] - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Regarding_Stasis#To_Asher_Mir|Regarding Stasis - To Asher Mir]]</ref> Her continued obsession with defeating Crota and newfound knowledge of the Hive made her a pariah back at the Tower, but though the [[Speaker]] and Commander [[Zavala]] believed her fascination with Hive lore unhealthy and made her untrustworthy, [[Ikora Rey]] secretly employed her as a member of the [[Hidden]] to infiltrate and keep watch on the activities of the [[Darkness]].<ref name= "Crota's Bane/> Though she worked for Ikora, she also conspired with [[Osiris]]<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Activities#The Road to King's Fall|The Road to King's Fall]]''</ref> and Queen [[Mara Sov]] of the [[Reef]]. | |||
Eventually Eris informed Ikora that the Hive were becoming more active, and that Omnigul had left the Hellmouth. She was concerned that the Hive was targeting the Warmind [[Rasputin]] in the [[Cosmodrome]], and that if such a being was twisted by the Hive all would be lost.

Eris reluctantly assisted [[Eva Levante]] in decorating the Tower during the [[The Dawning|Dawning]]. Eris viewed the festival as trivial and a waste of time while the servants of the Darkness still lingered. Eva attempted to convince her that joy and hope were important in fighting the Darkness, but Eris viewed it all as pretending.

Eris possibly makes contact with the Guardian in the [[Dreaming City]], revealing the existence of the time loop that sustains [[Riven]] and that she has recovered memories of her pre-Guardian life. During her communication, however, several bizarre glitches occur in her speech that is eventually revealed to be due to her actually being a [[Golden Age]] [[craftmind]], Medusa. However, then it seems that the Medusa communicating with the Guardian is actually a simulation run on the mainframe of [[Quria, Blade Transform]], seeking a way to overcome its [[Taken]] state. Then it seems that this was itself a lie, and Quria is really under the control of [[Dûl Incaru]], an [[Ascendant Hive]] [[Wizard]] and daughter of [[Savathûn]], seeking to gain control of the Guardian by inundating them with riddles. However, the Dûl Incaru speaking to the Guardian turns out to be another simulation created by Quria, and the real Medusa takes control of her own simulacra and breaks the simulation. Finally, it is revealed that the narrator is and always has been the real Eris Morn, who panicked upon realizing she had wasted time talking about her past and felt that the Guardians would lose respect for her if she admitted she wasn't above such emotions as loneliness.

Setting up a base just outside [[Sorrow's Harbor]], Eris begins formulating a plan to enter the Pyramid and combat against the Hidden Swarm. Further, she has the Guardians hunt down the various Nightmares that have begun to appear across the system, taking the image of the Guardians most notorious foes, such as [[Skolas]], [[Taniks]], [[Phogoth]] and [[Omnigul]].

[[File: | At an unknown point, proper contact was made between Eris Morn and the [[Exo Stranger]]. Eris had previously been spied upon by the Exo Stranger through her companion, during her time on Io.

However, the secret of the dark future awaiting Eris was kept from her. It is hoped by the Exo Stranger that Eris can avoid the temptations of power, straying from her fate of destroying all life as a herald of darkness. | ||
[[File:Eris-morn-stasis.gif|thumb|290px|Eris Morn using Stasis against the House of Salvation.]] | |||
Though Eris continues to find The Drifter to be obnoxious and insufferable, and found the Exo Stranger very reserved, she nonetheless admitted they are better company than her solitary studies on Luna. She was pleased to see the Guardian again, she warned them that the power of Stasis is not a gift from a benevolent overseer but a tool stolen from an enemy and that only a balance mind can aid them in mastering it, as she admits that without the Exo Stranger's guidance when she remained entangled in the Darkness. Eris would also inform the Guardian about sending a message to Zavala and Ikora regarding their cause though understands that they are wary. Yet, Eris states that even they can convince them of the necessity of wielding Stasis to survive what is to come. | |||
As the Guardian made progress in wielding Stasis and battling against [[Eramis]] and her [[House of Salvation]], Eris would comment that while they are far from true mastery, their progress marks a step forward for their cause. She hopes that by the Guardian's example, others would be encouraged to follow as the Vanguard remains wary of the trio but as they trust the Guardian, they can convince them that the Darkness can be tool used for good just as the Light has been used for evil. | |||
===Mars's Return=== | |||
In the time since the discovery of the [[Europan Pyramid]], Eris has continued her investigations into the Darkness, the Pyramids and their powers. It was around this time, Mars had mysteriously reappeared, albeit experiencing a form of temporal distortion. Ikora gathered her Hidden on Mars to begin an investigation of the planet's condition, requesting Eris Morn to join the effort. It was near the Martian Cradle, the Hidden discovered a structure called the Enclave and the Relic within, which Eris Morn confirmed that both were related to the Pyramids. However, the investigation would take a new turn when [[Savathûn]] revealed herself upon her ship, [[The Lure]]. | |||
The Guardian was then called in to investigate the Witch Queen's return and upon getting inside her ship and infiltrating her Throne World, they would make a horrifying discovery: The [[Lucent Brood]] and it's Lightbearing Hive. The Guardian would work with Ikora in discovering how Savathûn stole the Light, with Eris providing aid in their efforts of traversing [[Savathûn's Throne World]], specifically teaching them to hone their [[Deepsight]] abilities. During this time, Eris would continually argue the need to use Darkness-related abilities with Commander Zavala, who remains very reluctant to do so, believing it might corrupt the Guardians. Ultimately, the Guardian would discover a more shocking revelation: in looking into the Witch Queen's memories through the [[Altar of Reflection]], learning of an entity called [[The Witness]] who supposedly commands the Black Fleet and learn of her plan to seal the Traveler away within her Throne World, they learn that after escaping the Reef following the excising of her worm, Savathûn had journeyed to Earth and came before the Traveler as a "supplicant" before ultimately dying. It was there the Traveler allowed the Ghost, [[Immaru]], revive Savathûn as a Lightbearer, thereby proving that the Witch Queen never stole the Light but was ''blessed'' with it. | |||
[[File:The Lure.jpg|thumb|295px|Eris Morn witnessing Savathûn's arrival.]] | |||
Taking this awful truth to the Vanguard, Zavala would be left completely incredulous that the Traveler would give Savathûn, one of humanity's most devious foes, the Light. Eris would point out the Traveler's behavior of uplifting civilizations then suddenly abandoning them, as told within the [[Books of Sorrow]], though Zavala would attempt to denounce this as Hive propaganda, but Eris would counter that the Eliksni themselves speak of a similar tale. Remarking that while the Traveler made the Eliksni world a paradise, once the Darkness arrived, the Traveler left them to the Whirlwind before arriving to the Sol System. At that point, Zavala angrily reminded that once the Darkness arrived in Sol, the Traveler sacrificed itself to save humanity from the Darkness which included the Hive. Yet, Zavala still couldn't comprehend the Traveler's reasons for giving the Hive the Light. Ikora, however, would state that it doesn't matter and that regardless of the Traveler's reasons, if Savathûn succeeds in her plan then the Last City would be defenseless and won't survive the Witness's return. | |||
Resolving to stop the Witch Queen, Ikora had Eris aid her in preparing the Relic to splice into the calcified worm familiar that was found during the Guardian's investigations in the Throne World. There, Ikora learned that the Hive had been tricked from the very beginning. The Witness was aware that the Traveler would soon uplift the Krill and seeking to claim them first, had whispered to Sathona through her worm familiar, speaking of a world-ending event and goading her and her sisters into traversing the Deep, thereby encountering the Worm Gods and forming the Pact that would create the Hive species and rebirth Sathona and her sisters into the Hive Gods. | |||
Armed with this knowledge, the Guardians would interrupt Savathûn's ritual to seal away the Traveler and using the secret of her past, they destabilized the Witch Queen enough to lose focus over the ritual, thereby undoing her spell. After a grueling battle, the Guardian succeeded in defeating Savathûn, though her Ghost managed to escape in the flash of light when the Traveler returned to the Last City. | |||
===Return of the Nightmares=== | |||
{{Quote|The Lunar Pyramid stirs to the Leviathan's call. It manifests our deepest regrets. They wear familiar faces and speak with familiar voices.|Eris Morn on the Leviathan's return.}} | |||
As the foremost authority on Darkness and Pyramids within the Vanguard, Eris would take the lead in [[Severing of the Nightmares|Operation: Midas]], combating the situation created by the return of the [[Leviathan (ship)|Leviathan]] and the Nightmares spawning from it. Upon the Guardian landing on the Leviathan, it is made apparent that Calus is attempting to merge his consciousness with the Pyramid on Luna, weaponizing Nightmares to hold off anyone trying to stop him. To fight this, Eris uses her knowledge of Nightmares, Hive magic, Darkness and more to fabricate a [[Nightmare Harvester]], and utilizing the [[Crown of Sorrow]] aboard the [[H.E.L.M.]] to intercept information about the current situation. The Harvester is put to use in a séance, binding the Nightmares of Zavala and Crow in an attempt to weaken the connection between Calus and the Pyramid on Luna. After weeks of struggle, she counsels Zavala, Crow and [[Empress Caiatl]] on overcoming their Nightmares, relying on her personal experience to guide them. Despite the efforts of Eris and the Vanguard-Cabal coalition in pacifying the Nightmares, Calus arrived on the cusp of completing his plan to merge with the [[Lunar Pyramid]]. Eris then orchestrates a grander binding ritual within which the Guardian, Zavala, Crow and Caiatl strike at Calus' psionic form in an attempt to break the transfer of Calus' consciousness from the Leviathan to the Pyramid. In destroying and containing the summoned Nightmares, the Vanguard-Cabal coalition were victorious in stopping Calus' plans. | |||
[[File:Season of the Haunted Eris Nightmare Harvester.jpg|thumb|295px|Eris Morn creating the Nightmare Harvester.]] | |||
During Operation Midas, Eris discovers that a statue of Calus within the Tribute Hall is exhibiting an unusual resonance with Darkness energy. As it turns out, this statue is linked to Calus' consciousness. She constructs a device surrounding this, which allows users to invade a dimension representing his consciousness, enabling further understanding of Calus' motivations. Bypassing the Vanguard and the usual protocol as she thinks this requires urgent investigation, she recruits the Guardian via [[Suraya Hawthorne]] to look into it. Advising a fireteam on delving into this realm, it is discovered by Eris that Calus himself is torn and haunted by his past, that he believes transformation will give him better insight into the Witness' goals, and that he seeks the "final shape". This prompts Eris that this final shape must be investigated further to be understood, as knowing what it means may help prevent a second Collapse from occurring. | |||
Ultimately, Eris would learn that while they managed to stop Calus from completely merging with the Pyramid, he nonetheless succeeded in his goal of becoming a Disciple of the Witness, thereby making himself the harbinger of a Second Collapse. Though the Leviathan is silent, it would take months to fully clear out the vessel of the Nightmares, which Eris believes would be a wasted effort as they are now aware that the Witness is near. | |||
Following the containment of the Nightmares, Eris Morn would provide what expertise she could as the Guardians worked with Mithrax and the Drifter in gathering the Pieces of [[Nezarec]] before Eramis and the Old Crews could. She would correspond with the Drifter a few times after he made her a gift but also provided a brief lecture to [[Eido]], Mithrax's daughter and House Light's scribe, on the nature of both the Light and Darkness, specifically that neither are the singular source of knowledge and truth. | |||
===Embracing Vengeance=== | |||
Despite the Vanguard rallying their forces and allies to protect the Traveler, the Black Fleet returned with its master, The Witness, and managed to subdue the Traveler. Along with the Fleet included The Witness's latest Disciple, Calus and his [[Shadow Legion]]. Though the combined Coalition fought hard, the Guardian and Osiris traveling to [[Neptune]] to prevent Calus from acquiring an artifact called [[The Veil]], they nonetheless failed as The Witness used the Veil's power to create a gateway upon the Traveler, granting the entity what it needs to enter the Traveler. | |||
Though the Vanguard made efforts to follow the Witness, each one failed. However, upon Titan's return and reuniting with Deputy Commander Sloane, they learned from the rogue Worm [[Ahsa]] that the only one who may know of a possible way to pass through the gateway is the Witch Queen herself. Realizing that they would have to allow Immaru to bring back their most devious of foes, the Vanguard felt they had no other choice since their options were already severely limited. Reaching out to Savathûn's Ghost and stating their terms, Immaru countered with a bargain of his own: the Witch Queen anticipated that the Guardians would need her help and has the answers they may need, but first, they must deal with her sister, Xivu Arath, for good. Despite the terms, Ikora and Eris agreed, with the latter creating a relic called the [[Acolyte's Staff]] to help the Guardian's weave the Hive's spells and reveal paths as Immaru guided them. However, in a recording the Witch Queen left behind within a secret location within Savathûn's Throne World, [[Savathûn's Spire]], they cannot confront the Hive God of War head-on, for Xivu Arath feeds off of all conflict. Only a Hive God of equal strength could possibly defeat Xivu Arath, under the rules of the Sword Logic. | |||
Understanding that only she can become the Hive God needed to defeat Xivu Arath, Eris Morn began preparations for a ritual to transform herself. Ikora firmly speaks against this plan, fearing what it will do to her. Eris Morn plainly states that there is no other way to defeat Xivu Arath, for a continued stalemate with the War God is not feasible. Only leeching from the Hive's tithe system, with the Guardian serving as her acolyte, would Eris become strong enough to defeat Xivu Arath. The ritual began, and speaking the Worm Gods' names, Eris's form contorts, Hive chitin covering her body, until she became an entity akin to the Hive. As the new Hive God of Vengeance, Eris directed the Guardians of the Vanguard to begin collecting their tithes by using the ritual sites beneath Savathûn's Spire, the [[Altars of Summoning]]. Through the tithes collected by Guardians, Eris Morn began feeding, slowly growing in strength. | |||
Eventually, after many weeks of tithing, Eris Morn calls the Guardian to her Athenaeum, telling them that it was time to return to the Witch Queen’s Oubliette and perform a ritual that would allow Eris to directly challenge the Hive God of War. Once there, Immaru attempts to run away, believing that this plan would end disastrously, however, Eris forces him to stay, saying that he would either witness their triumph, or die as one of them. Opening the Altar of The Sword, the Guardian enters the ritual space and is immediately forced to fight Xivu Arath’s champion, [[Leviathan-Eater, Bane of the Ammonites]]. After managing to defeat the Hive champion, Eris Morn reveals her true plan. By having Immaru resurrect the Witch Queen, Eris would then slay her once more, gaining all of her power, eons and eons of hoarded lies and deceit, making her the most powerful Hive God to ever exist. Using this power, instead of finishing the ritual and challenging the War God, Eris uses her newfound power to sever Xivu Arath’s connection to her Throne World and banish her from it, making her mortal and able to be killed. Eris then collapses to the ground, no longer the Hive God of Vengeance. | |||
Afterwards, Savathun is resurrected once again, laughing and claiming that she deserved that, and she delights in learning that Eris has managed to make Xivu mortal. Ikora then confronts Savathun regarding her promise to show the Vanguard how to enter the portal, but Savathun merely says that they already know how, as she had just shown them. Ikora threatens Savathûn, and the Witch Queen claims that Ikora doesn’t have the power to take her on, but the Guardian butts in, saying they did. With a sigh, Savathûn offers a peace offering, her faithful First Ghost Immaru would stay in Vanguard custody willingly and could be crushed at anytime if the Vanguard felt that Savathûn was plotting against them. With that, the Witch Queen flees, laughing and leaving the four more confused than ever. | |||

Secretive, vengeful, quiet and heavily somber, Eris Morn exemplifies nearly every trait of a hardened and scarred survivor. Though it is largely unknown what type of person Eris was before the mission in the [[Hellmouth]], she was no doubt a loyal teammate to her fellow Guardians. However, following her experiences deep within Crota's domain and the tragic loss of her friends at the hands of the Hive Prince have left Eris bitter, hardened and dark. Since emerging from the Hellmouth, Eris became obsessively determined to achieve vengeance in the name of her fallen friends, striving to take down the Hive as a whole. | Secretive, vengeful, quiet and heavily somber, Eris Morn exemplifies nearly every trait of a hardened and scarred survivor.

Despite still being loyal to the Last City following her traumatic experience, denizens of the Tower are often uncomfortable with her dark moods, with the Speaker and [[Zavala]] often finding her foreboding warnings of the Hive to be a sickness. Likewise, Eris does not see the value or point of the Last City's holidays and traditions such as [[The Dawning]] and the [[Festival of the Lost]]. [[Ikora]], however, continued to show support and faith in Eris, which led to her becoming a member of the Warlock Vanguard's Hidden. [[Cayde-6]], on the other hand, often made comedic jabs at Eris, especially when they worked together during the Taken War, which Eris did not exactly appreciate. Thus, she heavily scorned the Hunter Vanguard. Despite this, Eris did show a measure of sadness after learning of Cayde's death at the hands of Uldren Sov and the [[Scorn]].

The only member of the Tower whom she maintained a true friendship was with the Gensym Scribe, [[Asher Mir]], finding kindred spirits in each other due to the changing experiences they have had at the hands of aliens. In regards to the Guardian, Eris showed respect for their efforts in protecting the Last City and gratitude for listening to her warnings. She was especially grateful for their actions in slaying Crota and Oryx, granting her vengeance for the friends she lost. However, she warns the Guardian not to grow accustomed to their victories, for she always (and rightly) believed that a greater threat would be waiting and must be prepared for. Upon working together again in combating the Nightmares, Eris grows grateful in the Guardian's efforts to lay her demons to rest and in finding lost mementos to her former fireteam. | ||
Even though Eris possesses an unending hatred for the Hive who took everything from her, she has become one of the Last City's foremost experts on the Hive, second to or even rivaling [[Toland, the Shattered]], bearing in-depth knowledge on their practices, powers, deities and intentions. The Guardian and Ghost appreciate her knowledge on the Hive, as it saved their lives multiple times and aided them in defeating their enemies. Zavala himself often defers to Eris's expertise on the Hive and Taken whenever possible. | Even though Eris possesses an unending hatred for the Hive who took everything from her, she has become one of the Last City's foremost experts on the Hive, second to or even rivaling [[Toland, the Shattered]], bearing in-depth knowledge on their practices, powers, deities and intentions.
