I have seen what the [[Hive]] call a [[Crota, Son of Oryx|god]].|Eris Morn<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nk1p34lAol8 '''YouTube''' - ''Destiny The Dark Below DLC Trailer (PS4/Xbox One)'']</ref>}}

'''Eris Morn''' is a former [[Hunter]] and member of the [[Hidden]] who serves the [[Vanguard]] as an expert on [[Hive]] lore. She is the sole survivor of the ill-fated [[First Crota Fireteam|fireteam]] led by herself and [[Eriana-3]] that attempted to assassinate [[Crota, Son of Oryx|Crota]] after [[The Great Disaster]]. After guiding [[The Guardian]] on the path to Crota's destruction, she helped coordinate the [[Taken War|fight]] against [[Oryx, the Taken King]] while maintaining secret alliances with Queen [[Mara Sov]] of the [[Reef]] and the exiled [[Warlock]] [[Osiris]]. Before the [[Red War]], Eris left the [[The Last City|Last City]] to gather more information on future Hive threats with the aid of Mara.

After discovering the growing threat of [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen|Savathûn]] and the encroaching [[Black Fleet]] was closer to humanity than they believed, Eris returned to the Last City to warn the Vanguard before venturing once more to the [[Moon]]. There she uncovered the existence of a [[Lunar Pyramid|Pyramid]] beneath the surface, unleashed its [[Nightmare]]s upon the Moon, and then guided the Guardian in their investigation of the Pyramid. She would also receive the power of [[Stasis]] during her own voyage into the Lunar Pyramid.

Upon the Black Fleet’s [[Arrival of the Black Fleet|arrival]] at the [[Sol system]], Eris played a prominent role in interpreting the Witness's encoded messages despite interference from the Witch Queen. Although sorely tempted by the power of Darkness she was offered previously, she formed an alliance with the [[Elisabeth Bray|Exo Stranger]] and the [[Drifter]] to learn how to utilize Stasis safely as a tool against their foes. In addition, she & the Drifter grew close over the course of the war and eventually form a relationship.

As a result of a ritual involving the Proto-Worm [[Ahsa]], Eris briefly became the Hive God of Vengeance to challenge [[Xivu Arath, God of War|Xivu Arath]] and gained strength from the Sword Logic using blood tithes from the Guardians. After slaying her sister Savathûn and consuming her stored tithes through the Sword Logic, Eris became the most powerful Hive God in existence, allowing her to seal Xivu Arath out of her own Throne World and render her mortal. In doing so, she created her own throne world, the [[High Heresy]], within the [[Ascendant Realm]].

==Biography==
===First life===
As with all Guardians, Eris does not remember her life before being resurrected by her [[Ghost]]. A [[Lore:Truth to Power|series of messages]] addressed to [[the Guardian]] from [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen]] provided a false account of her first life, claiming that she had been named "Erisia Pyatova-Hsien" and had lived in St. Petersburg, Russia during the Golden Age.<ref name="Is it you?">'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Lore]]:[[Lore:Truth to Power|Truth to Power]], [[Lore:Truth to Power#Is it you?|Is it you?]]''</ref> A subsequent counter-inquiry and investigation by [[Ikora Rey]]'s [[Hidden]] agents revealed that Eris was in fact born to civilian parents in the Last City, over 300 years before Guardian life; this was corroborated by Ghost recordings from the period and a double-blind forensic analysis.<ref name="Forgeries">'''Bungie (2019/3/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Drifter]] - [[Lore]]:[[Lore:Stolen Intelligence|Stolen Intelligence]], [[Lore:Stolen Intelligence#Forgeries|Forgeries]]''</ref>

===The Great Ahamkara Hunt===
{{Quote|We will take extreme measures. We must. But these creatures have such means… They will flee. Far and wide. Perhaps all the way to you. Mara, I implore you. If you hold your people as dearly as you say you do, you will end them on sight.|Eris writing to Queen Mara on the eve of the Great Ahamkara Hunt}}
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 of 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]] - Item Description: [[Great Hunt Suit#Mask of the Great Hunt|Mask 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. 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 fell, 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]] - Item Description: [[Great Hunt Suit#Vest of the Great Hunt|Vest of the Great Hunt]]''</ref>

Likely with the same Ahamkara, Eris surprised the Ahamkara and used Arc energy to blind it, while Wei Ning sliced its belly, ending its life. While Wei Ning left to join another fray, Eris recovered a sliver of its rib, chipping her sword in the process. She held the bone between her thumb and forefinger, causing her to hear whispers. She kept the bone as a souvenir since Shaxx had taken an entire skull to the City.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/11/28)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Wish]] - [[Lore]]:[[Lore:Dragonslayers|Dragonslayers]], [[Lore:Dragonslayers#The Wise-Woman's Tale|The Wise-Woman's Tale]]''</ref>

Eris was later tasked to work with the Warlock [[Ikora Rey]] against an entire army of Ahamkara. During the battle, they whispered offers to Eris and showed her images that she believed came from her life before being revived as a Guardian. After an hour-long battle, the two emerged victorious 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 on 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]] - Item Description: [[Great Hunt Suit#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, 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. They all heard a disembodied whisper but were used to such things by then.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - Item Description: [[Great Hunt Suit#Grips of the Great Hunt|Grips of the Great Hunt]]''</ref> Despite her concerns about the Ahamkara and the disturbing whispers from their bones, Eris kept a fragment of bone from the Great Hunt.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - Item Description: [[Great Hunt Suit#Cloak of the Great Hunt|Cloak of the Great Hunt]]''</ref>

===The Hunt for Crota===
Following the [[Vanguard]]'s failed attempt to reclaim the [[Moon]] from the [[Hive]] during the [[Great Disaster]], Eris met with the [[Praxic Order|Praxic]] [[Warlock]] [[Eriana-3]]. 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]] - [[Grimoire]]:[[Grimoire:Activities|Activities]]/[[Grimoire:Activities/Raids|Raids]], [[Grimoire:Activities/Raids#Crota's 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]] - [[Grimoire]]:[[Grimoire:Enemies|Enemies]]/[[Grimoire:Enemies/Exalted Hive|Exalted Hive]], [[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]] - [[Grimoire]]:[[Grimoire:Enemies|Enemies]]/[[Grimoire:Enemies/Exalted Hive|Exalted Hive]], [[Grimoire:Enemies/Exalted Hive#Blades of Crota|Blades of Crota]]''</ref> When Vell commented that he wished to kill [[Sardon, Fist of Crota|Sardon]] and the [[Swarm Princes]], Eris reminded him that their mission was to kill Crota, but Toland told her that the Hive Prince's lieutenants were extensions of him. 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]] - [[Grimoire]]:[[Grimoire:Enemies|Enemies]]/[[Grimoire:Enemies/Exalted Hive|Exalted Hive]], [[Grimoire:Enemies/Exalted Hive#Sardon, 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]] - [[Grimoire]]:[[Grimoire:Enemies|Enemies]]/[[Grimoire:Enemies/Exalted Hive|Exalted Hive]], [[Grimoire:Enemies/Exalted Hive#Omnigul, Will of Crota|Omnigul, Will of Crota]]''</ref> As they descended, the fireteam suffered their first casualty: Vell was overwhelmed and killed by [[Thrall]].<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] - [[Enemy of My Enemy]]''</ref>

Eris, Omar, and Toland were separated from Eriana and Sai soon after Vell's demise. As they moved through the tunnels, Eris told them that she felt [[Eyes of Crota|something]] watching them. 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. Toland told her his secrets were weapons and that they could use them to complete their mission, directing her and Omar to hunt the Eyes of Crota, kill them, and then follow their draining Light to where Crota waited.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/12/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Dark Below]] - [[Grimoire]]:[[Grimoire:Enemies|Enemies]]/[[Grimoire:Enemies/Exalted Hive|Exalted Hive]], [[Grimoire:Enemies/Exalted Hive#Eyes of Crota|Eyes of Crota]]''</ref> This plan also failed, and Eris was separated from Toland and believed Omar to be dead after another encounter with the Hive. 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 the 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]] - [[Grimoire]]:[[Grimoire:Enemies|Enemies]]/[[Grimoire:Enemies/Exalted Hive|Exalted Hive]], [[Grimoire:Enemies/Exalted Hive#Heart of Crota|Heart of Crota]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]] - [[The Journey]]''</ref>

With the rest of the fireteam dead and her Ghost, [[Brya]], sacrificing itself to try and save her,<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]] - [[Lore]]:[[Lore:Luna's Lost|Luna's Lost]], [[Lore:Luna's Lost#Ghost Fragment: Eris Morn's Ghost|Ghost Fragment: Eris Morn's Ghost]]''</ref> Eris was left alone in the depths of the Hive's warrens. Against all odds, she managed to survive in the Hellmouth's shadowy tunnels for years, using Toland's journal as a guidebook to survival.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] - [[Lost to Light]]''</ref> Eris learned much about the Hive, its hierarchy, and how to wield some of their magic.<ref name= "Crota's Bane">'''Bungie (2014/12/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Dark Below]] - [[Grimoire]]:[[Grimoire:Allies|Allies]]/[[Grimoire:Allies/Tower Allies|Tower Allies]], [[Grimoire:Allies/Tower Allies#Crota's Bane|Crota's Bane]]''</ref> However, she would eventually run low on options. Eris held the bone of an [[Ahamkara]] that she had kept since the Great Hunt and wished for a way to survive, her human eyes replaced with a trio of Hive eyes. With these, she would finally find her way out.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - Item Description: [[Great Hunt Suit#Cloak of the Great Hunt|Cloak of the Great Hunt]]''</ref>

===Return to the Tower===
[[File:DarkBelowErisMorn.jpg|thumb|300px|Eris Morn within the Tower]]
{{quote|My role among the Hidden is an honor."<br>"None would argue. But it's had its cost. Your place is to gather the understanding we need to wage these wars, but your own war is long done. Let those prepared to fight, fight."<br>"And should they die?"<br>"None who walk these Towers is afraid…|Eris and Ikora Rey}}
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|Regarding Stasis]], [[Lore:Regarding Stasis#To Asher Mir|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]] and Queen [[Mara Sov]] of the [[Reef]].<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] - [[Grimoire]]:[[Grimoire:Activities|Activities]]/[[Grimoire:Activities/The Taken King|The Taken King]], [[Grimoire:Activities/The Taken King#The Road to King's Fall|The Road to King's Fall]]''</ref>

Ikora wrote a letter to Eris, catching her up on the events of Osiris's banishment while she was in the Hellmouth.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/12/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Curse of Osiris]] - Item Description: [[West of Sunfall 7#Lore|West of Sunfall 7]]''</ref>

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. Ikora asked her to remain at the Tower to aid in the battle against the Hive and promised to convince the other Vanguard leaders to listen to Eris while also promising to find Guardians to aid her.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/12/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Dark Below]] - [[Grimoire]]:[[Grimoire:Enemies|Enemies]]/[[Grimoire:Enemies/Hive|Hive]], [[Grimoire:Enemies/Hive#Ghost Fragment: Hive 3|Ghost Fragment: Hive 3]]''</ref>

===War against Crota===
{{Quote|Crota's soul is banished. You have given me the gift of vengeance. I thank you… and even if they don't know it yet… The City thanks you.|Eris Morn}}
After learning of a newly risen [[The Guardian|Guardian]] who raided [[The World's Grave]] on behalf of the Speaker, Eris summoned the Guardian. She declared the Speaker a fool for not seeing that the true threat was Crota and for clinging to his belief in a dead god, and tasked the Guardian with slaying the [[Swarm Princes]] and destroying the Sword of Crota, which the Vanguard mistakenly believed had been destroyed long ago.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]] - [[The Sword of Crota]]''</ref> After they succeeded, Eris requested they kill [[Sardon, Fist of Crota]], who was leading the Hive in the Cosmodrome in preparation for the revival of Crota's soul. As they hunted Crota's general, Eris explained to the Guardian Sardon's role in conquering the Moon and how she survived for years in the Hive's warrens there. The Guardian defeated Sardon, but Omnigul was spotted in the Cosmodrome as well, and Eris requested that the Guardian return to the Tower to discuss their next step.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/12/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Dark Below]] - [[Fist of Crota]]''</ref> 

Eris learned that Omnigul was targeting Rasputin, proving her previous concerns about the Hive's plans correct. She sent the Guardian to stop Omnigul from destroying or corrupting the warmind, which would allow the Hive to invade Earth without worrying about Rasputin's defenses. Eris was surprised when Rasputin allowed access to his bunker and was shocked to discover Omnigul had already found a way inside. The Guardian stopped Crota's mate, who fled to safety, and Eris noted that the Hive on Earth were more powerful than she had assumed. She summoned the Guardian back to the Tower to discuss how they would stop the Hive from waking Crota's soul.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/12/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Dark Below]] - [[Siege of the Warmind]]''</ref> Despite this victory, Eris was concerned about why Omnigul fled, as she usually feasted on Light, and feared that she may have found what she was looking for in the bunker. Eris was also cautious of Rasputin's motives and wondered if its survival of the Collapse came at some cost to humanity.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/12/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Dark Below]] - [[Grimoire]]:[[Grimoire:Activities|Activities]]/[[Grimoire:Activities/The Dark Below|The Dark Below]], [[Grimoire:Activities/The Dark Below#Siege of the Warmind|Siege of the Warmind]]''</ref>

With Rasputin safe, Eris tasked the Guardian with going to the Temple of Crota and stopping the [[Waker of Crota|Wakers of Crota]] from beginning a ritual to restore Crota's soul. When the Guardian arrived, they discovered that the ritual had already begun, and Eris desperately urged them onward to stop it from being completed. After the Guardian destroyed the Wakers, Eris directed them to destroy the crystal that the Wizards were using for the ritual. Once it was destroyed, she thanked the Guardian for banishing Crota's soul and bringing her some measure of vengeance for her fallen friends.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/12/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Dark Below]] - [[The Wakening]]''</ref> With Crota's soul banished, Eris declared that Omnigul now had to die to truly ensure that Crota could not return to the world. She had located Omnigul in the [[Skywatch]], where she was creating a new Hive army to carry out Crota's will. Once the Guardian slew Omnigul, Eris thanked them and hoped that her friends would now find some measure of peace. She rewarded the Guardian with the [[Fusion Rifle]] [[Murmur]].<ref>'''Bungie (2014/12/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Dark Below]] - [[Will of Crota]]''</ref> She also explained that many of Crota's disciples still walked the Moon and Earth, and suggested they find a way to enter the [[Hellmouth]] and find a way to destroy Crota for good. <ref>'''Bungie (2014/12/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Dark Below]] - [[Grimoire]]:[[Grimoire:Activities|Activities]]/[[Grimoire:Activities/The Dark Below|The Dark Below]], [[Grimoire:Activities/The Dark Below#The Wakening|The Wakening]]''</ref> Eventually, the Guardian also killed Crota, venturing into the [[Ascendant Realm]] and slaying him at his [[Oversoul Throne]].<ref>'''Bungie (2014/12/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Dark Below]] - [[Crota's End]]''</ref>

===The Taken War===

With Crota's death, Eris turned her attention to his master and father, [[Oryx]], and for this purpose, she turned to Queen [[Mara Sov]] of the [[Reef]] and the exiled Warlock [[Osiris]] for help. The three met in the Queen's throne room in the Reef, where Eris declared that she had no wish to play any games of politics with them and was only there to ensure a united front met Oryx when he invaded the system. The Queen agreed with her, and the three began plotting to end the Taken King.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]] - [[Grimoire]]:[[Grimoire:Allies|Allies]]/[[Grimoire:Allies/The Queen|The Queen]], [[Grimoire:Allies/The Queen#Ghost Fragment: The Queen 2|Ghost Fragment: The Queen 2]]''</ref> She kept her alliance with the Queen and Osiris secret from the City's leadership. During the [[Wolf Rebellion]], she secretly met with Prince [[Uldren Sov]] at the [[Vestian Outpost]], avoiding the other Guardians who were now allowed into the Reef. She informed Uldren that she had news from the beyond that the Queen needed to hear.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]] - [[Grimoire]]:[[Grimoire:Places|Places]]/[[Grimoire:Places/The Asteroid Belt|The Asteroid Belt]], [[Grimoire:Places/The Asteroid Belt#Ghost Fragment: The Reef|Ghost Fragment: The Reef]]''</ref> Together, they formed a plan to defeat Oryx; the Awoken would prevent his fleet from entering the inner system, while Eris would help the Guardians enter the [[Dreadnaught]] and defeat Oryx. She is one of the guides for the Guardian during the [[Taken War]], and among the first to detect the threat of the [[Taken]].<ref>[http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015-06-30-the-taken-king-is-the-expansion-destiny-has-been-waiting-for Eurogamer: The Taken King is the Expansion Destiny has been waiting for]</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Lore]]:[[Lore:The Dreaming City|The Dreaming City]], [[Lore:The Dreaming City#Throne|Throne]]''</ref>

[[File:Eris Oryx's Sword.jpg|thumb|300px|Eris placing her hand upon Oryx's fallen sword.]]

[[Cayde-6]] liked to refer to her as his "creepy sidekick" in their efforts to stop Oryx, much to her immense annoyance.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kDXbn9mC9Y '''Youtube''': The Taken King Reveal Teaser - Destiny Year 2]</ref> When Eris found out that her ship was destroyed in Cayde's [[The Dreadnaught|mission]] to board the Dreadnaught, she was enraged at Cayde for the loss.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] - [[Grimoire]]:[[Grimoire:Activities|Activities]]/[[Grimoire:Activities/The Taken King|The Taken King]], [[Grimoire:Activities/The Taken King#The Dreadnaught|The Dreadnaught]]''</ref> Despite her anger, she still worked with him to help bring down Oryx. However, once Oryx is defeated permanently, she refuses to let go of her anger.<ref name="FotLU"/>

After the Taken King's defeat, Eris aided the Guardians in slaying would-be contenders and pretenders to Oryx's throne. Chief among them were [[Alak-Hul, the Darkblade|Alak-Hul]] and [[Malok, Pride of Oryx|Malok]]. Regarding the Darkblade, she hoped to gain a sense of vengeance as Alak-Hul was present during her old team's raid against Crota, which caused some of their deaths. She also knew that Alak-Hul could nonetheless make a worthy successor to Oryx, and he had to be taken out of his prison. Guiding the Guardians to the prisons within the Dreadnaught, Eris led them to Alak-Hul's black cell and after a tense battle, they succeeded in slaying the Darkblade.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] - [[The Sunless Cell]]''</ref>

Malok, Pride of Oryx, attempted to assume Oryx's place by taking over the Taken brood with his mastery of the Blights and leading an all-out assault on the Last City. However, thanks to Eris's guidance and tips from [[Variks, the Loyal|Variks]], the Guardians drove Malok out of the Dreadnaught and onto the [[Shrine of Oryx]] on the Moon. There, the Guardians slayed the would-be contender to the Osmium Throne.<ref>'''Bungie (2016/4/12)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[April Update]] - [[Pretender to the Throne]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2016/4/12)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[April Update]] - [[Blighted Chalice]]''</ref>

===Last Days in the Tower===
During the [[Festival of the Lost]], Eris was approached by Cayde-6, who then told him to leave if he did not have a replacement ship for her. Cayde attempted to get her into a more festive mood, but Eris dismissed him by listing all that she had lost, in addition to her ship, including her friends and her Ghost. He offered her a sweet treat from a smuggled package that [[Kadi 55-30]] had confiscated, which Eris refused and bid him once more to begone until he had a new ship.<ref name="FotLU">'''Bungie (2016/10/24)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Festival of the Lost]] - [[Grimoire]]:[[Grimoire:Activities|Activities]]/[[Grimoire:Activities/Other Activities|Other Activities]], [[Grimoire:Activities/Other Activities#Festival of the Lost: Underwatch|Festival of the Lost: Underwatch]]''</ref>

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. Eva stated that only joyful Guardians could defeat the Darkness and that holding the Dawning festival was her way of making that happen, causing Eris to sheepishly wish her a happy Dawning.<ref>'''Bungie (2016/12/13)''', ''[[Destiny]], [[Rise of Iron]] - [[Grimoire]]:[[Grimoire:Activities|Activities]]/[[Grimoire:Activities/Other Activities|Other Activites]], [[Grimoire:Activities/Other Activities#The Dawning|The Dawning]]''</ref> 

Ikora Rey spoke with Eva about finding a way to cheer Eris up. They decided to have her friend, [[Asher Mir]] write her a Dawning greeting card. He reluctantly wrote the card and used the opportunity to include research notes on the Hive that Eris demanded, finishing with a cheerful greeting Ikora forced him to write. Eris accepted the gift and wrote a card herself, warning Asher not to succumb to the whispers, finishing with the same cheerful greeting Ikora forced Asher to include. She also included a gift that glowed with a sickly green glow, but Ikora and Eva discarded it and agreed never to speak of it again.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/12/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Forge]] - [[Lore]]:[[Lore:Dawning Delights|Dawning Delights]], [[Lore:Dawning Delights#A Cautionary Tale|A Cautionary Tale]]''</ref>

Shortly after the Dawning, Eris visited Asher in the hospital. She spoke to his catatonic body, telling him her time in the City was over, as she had accomplished all she set out to do there. She decided to find a new way to eliminate the Hive, and she could not find it within the City's walls. Before leaving, she spoke a grim warning; that a "storm" was coming, and she would not be with them when it broke.<ref name="GFEM">'''Bungie (2017/3/28)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Age of Triumph]] - [[Grimoire]]:[[Grimoire:Activities|Activities]]/[[Grimoire:Allies/Legends & Mysteries|Legends & Mysteries]], [[Grimoire:Allies/Legends & Mysteries#Ghost Fragment: Eris Morn|Ghost Fragment: Eris Morn]]''</ref>

===Fall of the Last City===
No word was heard from Eris during the Red War. When the Last City fell, Ikora sent a message to her Hidden, telling them to hide in their safehouses. She also told Eris that if she was still alive, they had not forgotten her and when they took back the Last City, there would be a home waiting for her.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/5/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]] - Item Description: [[Rekindled Solstice Armor (Warlock)#Solstice Gloves (Rekindled)|Solstice Gloves (Rekindled)]]''</ref>

Eris's departure is noted by the Vanguard and the Guardians, as they originally had hoped to ask her for further advice on the new Hive broods encountered on [[Titan (moon)|Titan]]. However, Zavala states that no one has seen or heard from Eris since before the Last City fell. <ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]] - [[Hope]]''</ref>

The Guardian would discover a terminal used by Eris in the new Tower, with notes on Crota and Oryx. Their Ghost would wonder where she went off to.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]] - [[Ghost scan]]s: [[Ghost_scan#Tower.2C_the_Last_City.2C_Earth|TW-B-6]]''</ref>

===Returning Again===
Eris would return to the Tower to ask Cayde-6 about his experiences on Io. Cayde would tell her she was talking to the wrong Vanguard and to ask Ikora. Eris responded by saying she hoped the cache by the bones marked his grave, and Cayde reminded her that as an Exo, he had abandoned his bones a long time ago. She simply responded by saying "exactly", leaving Cayde-6 confused.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/9/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]] - Item Description: [[Bounty|Io Treasure Map]]''</ref>

Asher Mir wrote a letter to Eris stating that he found no information on Nokris. He asked Eris if she felt affection for the Hive and confessed he occasionally felt admiration for the Vex when he looked upon the Pyramidion. He also mentioned that his condition was worsening and that the same morning, he cut his finger and bled radiolaria.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/9/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]] - Item Description: [[Gensym Knight Suit#Lore|Gensym Knight Cloak / Mark / Bond]]''</ref>

===Assisting Mara===
{{stub|section=yes}}
At some point following her departure, Eris sends a message to [[Asher Mir]], stating that she has built a ship out of Hive Chitin and discovered a [[Throne World]] built for the [[Light]]. She said that her message would be the last for a long time, as Mara Sov needed her more than the Last City.<ref name="DD">'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - Item Description: [[Unfinal Shapes#Lore|Unfinal Shapes]]''</ref>

===Death of Cayde-6===
Following Cayde-6's death, the Guardian would uncover a cache left for her intended for if she killed him. He believed she turned into a Hive god and fed him to her "worm cult", or she just finally got sick of him. He also apologized for stealing her ship and for every interaction they've had, but if she did kill him, his actions were justified. He also gave her permission to put her rock on any of his maps.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Ace in the Hole]]''</ref>

===Truth to Power===
During the Guardian's exploration of the [[Dreaming City]], they received a series of mysterious messages encrypted within [[Glimmer]], which later became known as the "Truth to Power" manuscripts.<ref name="Forgeries"/> The first entry in these messages seemed to be addressed to the Guardian by Eris, who revealed the existence of the time loop that sustained [[Riven of a Thousand Voices|Riven]] and claimed that she had recovered memories of her pre-Guardian life.<ref name="Is it you?"/> However, after several bizarre glitches in the message, "Eris" was revealed by the Guardian's Ghost to actually be a [[Golden Age]] "[[craftmind]]" known as Medusa, who had been impersonating Eris.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Lore]]:[[Lore:Truth to Power|Truth to Power]], [[Lore:Truth to Power#Will you smile?|Will you smile?]]''</ref> The subsequent messages continued to change the identity of the narrator in this fashion, with "Medusa" seemingly being a simulation run by [[Quria, Blade Transform]],<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Lore]]:[[Lore:Truth to Power|Truth to Power]], [[Lore:Truth to Power#act.7Cchoose.7Creact|act|choose|react]]''</ref> who was then "revealed" to have been the Wizard [[Dûl Incaru, the Eternal Return|Dûl Incaru]], who was then shown to be another simulation created by Quria, which the "real" Medusa then broke,<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Lore]]:[[Lore:Truth to Power|Truth to Power]], [[Lore:Truth to Power##react.7Cchoose.7Cact|react|choose|act]]''</ref> who then finally claimed once again to have been Eris the whole time.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Lore]]:[[Lore:Truth to Power|Truth to Power]],[[Lore:Truth to Power#It's just me.|It's just me.]]''</ref>

While the exact nature of these messages remains unclear, it is generally believed that they were an attempt to confuse the Guardian on the part of [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen]]. A Hidden agent codenamed FEN-092 mentioned that Eris has personally denied sending these messages.<ref name="Forgeries"/>

===Nightmares Awaken===
====The Pyramid====
[[File:Shadowkeep Eris Discovery.jpg|thumb|300px|Eris makes a discovery on Luna.]]
{{Quote|Ghaul...the Fanatic...Crota. Like living Nightmares, your past confronts you, Guardian|Eris}}
Eris searched for answers on [[Luna]] following the events of the [[Red War]] and the conflict with the [[Scorn]]. However, her Stone began to whisper again, taking her deep beneath the moon's surface. After traversing deeper, she touched a black surface and unknowingly unleashed a curse upon Luna.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]] - [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q78QETfeVsA Discovery]''</ref> Soon enough, Eris found herself being haunted by the ghosts of her former fireteam. Worse, the Hive of the [[Hidden Swarm]] had constructed a massive crimson fortress, the [[Scarlet Keep]] to take advantage of a structure she found, the [[The Lunar Pyramid|Lunar Pyramid]] once piloted by [[Nezarec, Final God of Pain|Nezarec]].<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/29)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]] - [[Lore]]:[[Lore:Inquisition of the Damned|Inquisition of the Damned]], [[Lore:Inquisition of the Damned#XI.X: Apocrypha|XI.X: Apocrypha]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2022/8/23)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Plunder]] - [[Eido]]: [https://youtu.be/nmmmso_uFaU?si=0G0imagyeviSTMbM|"What we know from… second-hand accounts is that Nezarec led the Witness's first assault on Earth, or, as Humans call it, "the Collapse." After the Great Machine repelled the attack, Nezarec's Pyramid crash-landed on your moon."]''</ref>

The [[Guardian]] went to the Moon to investigate the Hive's resurgence and of the Scarlet Keep but soon encountered various phantoms of fallen Guardians as they traversed beneath the keep. As the Guardian finds the Pyramid structure, they come under assault of powerful phantoms taking the appearance of various foes they have bested in the past. However, before the Guardian is overwhelmed by the [[Nightmare]]s of [[Crota, Son of Oryx|Crota]], [[Dominus Ghaul|Ghaul]] and [[Fikrul, the Fanatic|the Fanatic]], Eris Morn used her enchantment to pull them out of danger and to her position. Safe, the Guardian meets with Eris, who stated her theory that the Pyramid may be a remnant of the Darkness that brought the Collapse, possibly wrecked and hidden on Luna after being struck down by the Traveler. Eris further revealed that the phantoms they encountered are Nightmares created by the Pyramid's energies and utilized by the Hive. Knowing of the knowledge and secrets within, Eris began working with the Guardian to find a way inside.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]] - [[A Mysterious Disturbance]]''</ref>

[[File:Eris mementos.jpg|thumb|300px|The mementos of Eris' fireteam.]]

Setting up a base just outside [[Sorrow's Harbor]], Eris begins formulating a plan to enter the Pyramid and combat 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, Kell of Kells|Skolas]], [[Taniks, the Scarred|Taniks]], [[Phogoth, the Untamed|Phogoth]] and [[Omnigul, Will of Crota|Omnigul]].<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]] - [[Nightmare Hunt]]: [[Nightmare Hunt: Pride|Pride]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]] - [[Nightmare Hunt]]: [[Nightmare Hunt: Isolation|Isolation]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]] - [[Nightmare Hunt]]: [[Nightmare Hunt: Fear|Fear]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]] - [[Nightmare Hunt]]: [[Nightmare Hunt: Anguish|Anguish]]''</ref> Knowing that the Hive must possess the knowledge needed to combat the Nightmares, she has the Guardians investigate the Keep and the Hive's rituals. The Guardians manage to disrupt various rituals but encounter the architect of the Keep itself, [[Hashladûn, Daughter of Crota]]. Eris originally believed Hashladûn and her sisters were dead following the fall of their father but now realizes that the eldest of Crota's daughters seeks retribution against the Guardians for ruining her lineage. Eris has the Guardians give chase as Hashladûn retreats into the keep. Ascending the [[Tower of Woe]], Hashladûn corners the Guardians but despite her sorcery and use of the Nightmares, they slay the daughter of Crota. From her remains, the Guardians learn that Hashladûn and her sisters managed to protect themselves against the Nightmare's influence and utilize them from a forbidden piece of arcane knowledge, the [[Cryptoglyph]] located in the darkest location of the Hellmouth, the [[Catacombs]].<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]] - [[The Scarlet Keep]]''</ref>

Despite the danger and complete Darkness, the Guardians agree with Eris' plan that the Cryptoglyph is essential in combating the Nightmares and unlocking the Pyramid. Though Eris originally planned to pull the Guardian out of the Catacombs once they've acquired the artifact, she loses contact with them as they entered the forbidden sanctum. Fortunately, the Guardians managed to reach the Crytoglyph and slay its keeper, [[Besurith, Daughter of Crota]]. Racing back to the surface, Eris is relieved that the Guardians are safe and gained the artifact. With the Cryptoglyph, Eris manages to learn how to create the armor necessary to battle the Nightmares and has the Guardians hunt for more Nightmares to fuel the essence necessary to complete them.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]] - [[In the Deep]]''</ref>

[[File:Eris Haunted.jpg|thumb|300px|Eris being haunted by the phantoms of her former fireteam.]]

With the armor and weapons, Eris has the Guardian meet with Ikora Rey at the overlook near the Pyramid. The Warlock Vanguard stated that she had to see it for herself and wondered how long the Pyramid had been waiting or watching. Regardless, Eris arrives, though smothered by the ghosts of her former fireteam. Eris soon grows furious with the phantoms' taunts and torments, screaming at them to be silent. Though Ikora voices her thoughts she can't help but feel responsible for her torments and for not truly listening to her warnings, Eris brushes off her concerns, very well knowing that she didn't come to apologize. Acknowledging this, Ikora then states that those who brought their Collapse are coming back and tells Eris that the Vanguard is at her disposal. With everything said, Eris states that there is much work to do and has the Guardian follow her to prepare for their mission to enter the Pyramid.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]] - [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q78QETfeVsA&t=145s Concerns]''</ref>

Having everything they require to enter the Pyramid, the Guardian ventures to the structure but find themselves drawn into the Pyramid, as if welcomed. Inside the Pyramid, the Guardians battle against the [[Nightmare of Crota, Son of Oryx]], the [[Nightmare of Dominus Ghaul]] and the [[Nightmare of Fikrul, the Fanatic]], all the while being taunted by the voice that has taken control of their Ghost. Despite this, the Guardian defeats each of the Nightmares and at a mysterious altar, they acquire a strange spherical artifact. After taking it, they appear transported to a place that resembles the Black Garden and encounter a mirrored image of themselves, apparently representing the Darkness itself. Calling itself not their enemy nor their friend, the mirrored projection calls itself their "''Salvation''".<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]] - [[Beyond (mission)|Beyond]]''</ref>

Returning to Eris following their discovery, Eris scoffs at the message of salvation, she takes it as confirmation that the Darkness is about to return. She also acquires the artifact from the Guardian to study. Though Eris would hear whispers from it, she only takes them as attempts to manipulate them. In the meantime, Eris has the Guardians continue with the [[Nightmare Hunts]] to contain the Nightmares that continue to haunt the system.{{Citation needed}}

Eris would decipher messages from a mysterious entity through the Unknown Artifact and translate them for the Guardian. This text became known as Unveiling and quickly became popular amongst Guardians. After witnessing Guardians begin to question the Darkness, Eris turned to Mara Sov for her opinion. Mara told her she believes that there must be a balance between Light and Darkness. However, much more Light would be needed than Darkness. Eris shared that she believes that a good Guardian cannot entertain the idea of using the Darkness, as balance would be a constant war to keep the Darkness in check.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]] - [[Lore]]:[[Lore:Unveiling|Unveiling]], [[Lore:Unveiling#Trust and Hope|Trust and Hope]]''</ref>

====The Vex Offensive====
{{Quote|All this time, they've been closer than we even knew. First the Pyramid on the moon. Now a team of Guardians finds remnants of their presence in the Black Garden.|Eris}}
Shortly after the Young Wolf returned from the Pyramid, Vex began pouring out of a gate to the [[Black Garden]] on the Moon and invaded the lunar surface, being drawn by the dark influence of the Pyramid. Meeting with the Young Wolf, Eris warned that the Vex threatened the Vanguard's presence on the moon and that they must be stopped before they cut off their access to the Pyramid and any hope they had of stopping the Nightmares. Eris noted that she needed to keep her focus on researching the Pyramid and requested that the Young Wolf work with Ikora to drive back the Vex and keep her sanctuary secure before too many Vex invaded the moon. She also asked that they discover the motivations of the Vex and share that information with Ikora.<ref name="VI">'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Undying]] - [[Vex Invasion]]''</ref>

A team of Guardians entered the gate and slew two powerful Vex minds within and discovered traces of the Darkness. Their success caused the mysterious Darkness artifact to come to life and emit another message. Eris was visited by the Young Wolf, who explained what had occurred before declaring the Darkness meant to play them as puppets listening only to what it said. She dismissed the messages from the Darkness as manipulation and warned them not to trust anything the Darkness said and to discard further messages. She worried that these messages were meant as a means to distract the Guardians from their task and sow seeds of doubt so that the Darkness could win against them. Despite her worries, Eris resolved to continue studying the artifact.<ref name="VI"/>

====Lost Mementos====
[[File:Eris at the Altar.jpg|thumb|300px|Eris approaches the Altar.]]

Sometime later, the Phantoms that continue to haunt her soon begin to take their toll on Eris. Resolving to help Eris, the Guardians journey through Luna's surface and find various relics and mementos left behind by her former fireteam. Among them, they find Sai Mota's repaired necklace, Vell Tarlowe's Reforged Mark, one of Toland's lost journals, Omar Agah's Brace of Knives and Eriana-3's Letters from Wei Ning. With each keepsake, Eris can make peace with the fates of her friends and the phantoms that once haunted her, disappear.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]] - [[Memory of Sai Mota]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]] - [[Memory of Vell Tarlowe]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]] - [[Memory of Toland, The Shattered]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]] - [[Memory of Omar Agah]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]] - [[Memory of Eriana-3]]''</ref>

Later, Eris enters the Pyramid herself and approaches the altar of the veiled figure. Touching the altar, her Stone appears to absorb a strange [[Stasis|element]] born of the Darkness. At first shocked, Eris resolves to absorb the unidentified energy and leaves with a faint smile.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]] - [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q78QETfeVsA&t=328s Energy]''</ref>

Eris would later pen a journal entry reflecting on her experiences with the Darkness as it manifested through the Lunar Pyramid. For unknown reasons, [[The Witness]] either stole or copied this page and stored it aboard the [[Essence]] until the Guardian recovered it three years later.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/2/28)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Lightfall]] - [[Lore]]:[[Lore:Inspiral|Inspiral]], [[Lore:Inspiral#The Dark Below|The Dark Below]]''</ref>

===Eve before the Arrival===
Eris would also compose a message to Ikora, stating that despite the Nightmares still haunting the Moon, she and the Guardians have been pushing them back and taking power from them.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/3/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Worthy]] - Item Description: [[Waking Nightmare#Lore|Waking Nightmare]]''</ref>

After [[Saint-14]] was rescued from the Infinite Forest by the Guardian and Osiris, he visited Eris Morn and was shocked by how much she had changed. He thought she should get a bigger gun so she wouldn't have to carry around her Ahamkara bone all the time.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/12/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Dawn]] - [[Parts Long Lost#Transcript|Parts Long Lost]]''</ref>

Eris would not be in support of rebuilding Rasputin, believing some secrets are better left buried,<ref>'''Bungie (2020/3/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Worthy]] - Item Description: [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/legendary-spelunker-moon Legendary Spelunker: Moon]''</ref> and the Vanguard were just bidding time until the [[Black Fleet]] arrived.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/3/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Worthy]] - Item Description: [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/hive-minded Hive Minded]''</ref>

===The Arrival===
[[File:Eris Warning Season of Arrivals.jpg|thumb|300px|Eris warns Zavala of her discovery on Io.]]

Several months after the battle on the Moon, a fleet of the [[Pyramids]] ventured into the system, with [[The Ionian Pyramid|one of them]] touching down on [[Io]]. The power of the Pyramid beckoned Eris there, and she heeded the call to learn whatever she could. When she reached Io, her attempts to hear the Darkness were disrupted by Savathûn, who jammed the Pyramid's broadcasts and sent Taken to intervene. She was slowly overwhelmed, and the Guardian, following her on Zavala's orders, was cut off from her as they took separate routes through the [[Cradle]]. Though injured, Eris managed to overcome the Witch Queen's power as she found a [[Tree of Silver Wings]], with a [[Seed of Silver Wings|seed]] growing at its base. She tried to claim it but found she couldn't touch it and was forced to let the Guardian have it.<ref name="ASO">'''Bungie (2020/6/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Arrivals]] - [[A Shadow Overhead]]''</ref>

Eris then returned to the Tower and met Zavala in his office for a debrief on what had happened. Eris told Zavala that she intended to return to Io, but the Vanguard Commander pleaded with her not to go any further. She left anyway, determined to figure out what Savathûn and the Darkness want.<ref name="ASO"/> She returned to the Cradle, only to find it swarmed with Savathûn's forces. Eris called on the Guardians to take back the tree, and when they succeeded, she used the Seed of Silver Wings to receive and interpret the Pyramid's broadcasts. She began camping at the foot of the tree, though she was regularly driven out by Savathûn's forces, requiring her to enlist the help of Guardians again to clear them out.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/6/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Arrivals]] - [[Interference]]''</ref>

[[File:ErisMornSilver2.jpg|thumb|300px|Eris Morn beneath the Tree of Silver Wings]]

In the meantime, Eris made reports to Zavala and reflected on the broadcasts received from the Pyramid, while also learning to cook fried rice with raisins and pineapple, using a hot plate and a makeshift wok salvaged from the Moon. While cooking, she would encounter some problems, mainly not knowing what a pineapple is, nor where to get any.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/6/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Arrivals]] - [[Lore]]:[[Lore:The Singular Exegete|The Singular Exegete]], [[Lore:The Singular Exegete#PROTECTED|PROTECTED]]''</ref> A Guardian named [[Enina]] later found Eris, seeking to help her with her investigations, to which Eris responded by snapping at her to bring her a pineapple.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/6/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Arrivals]] - [[Lore]]:[[Lore:The Singular Exegete|The Singular Exegete]], [[Lore:The Singular Exegete#WHITE|WHITE]]''</ref> Enina returned a few weeks later, telling Eris of an [[New Pacific Arcology|arcology]] [[Arboretum|garden]] on [[Titan (moon)|Titan]] known to contain pineapple seeds. Elated, Eris sent Enina to retrieve the pineapple seeds,<ref>'''Bungie (2020/6/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Arrivals]] - [[Lore]]:[[Lore:The Singular Exegete|The Singular Exegete]], [[Lore:The Singular Exegete#YES|YES]]''</ref> which she would plant in a plot of special loam, as Io's own soil did not support agriculture. At one point, Eris also spotted a strange-looking [[Pouka|Ghost]] among her supplies that seemed to be spying on her for unknown reasons.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/6/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Arrivals]] - [[Lore]]:[[Lore:The Singular Exegete|The Singular Exegete]], [[Lore:The Singular Exegete#CONVICTION|CONVICTION]]''</ref>

Weeks into her investigation, Eris discovered that the Tree of Silver Wings had grown a branch with leaves that resembled tiny feathers. Interpreting it as a gift from the Pyramid, she invited Zavala and the Guardian to see it. The Guardian removed the branch and, with Eris's help, grew the branch into a weapon, the [[Ruinous Effigy]].<ref>'''Bungie (2020/6/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Arrivals]] - [[Growth]]''</ref>

Eris has also enlisted the Drifter to research and investigate the Darkness, but she doesn't trust the rogue Lightbearer and monitors him. When she discovered he was recruiting the Guardian to enter the realms of the [[Nine]] for information on the Darkness, she angrily contacted him and declared he was mistaken if he thought she would allow such a thing without being involved.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/6/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Arrivals]] - [[Prophecy]]''</ref> At some point, Eris would inform Mara of the Drifter's communication with the Nine.<ref>'''Bungie (2022/11/28)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Wish]] - [[Riven's Wishes VI]]''</ref>

===Journey to Europa===
At an unknown point, proper contact was made between Eris Morn and the [[Elisabeth Bray|Exo Stranger]]. Eris had previously been spied upon by the Exo Stranger through her companion during her time on Io. Setting out with the Exo Stranger and Drifter, she traveled to Europa to discover [[The Europan Pyramid|the Pyramid]] located there and also began harnessing the power of [[Stasis]] under the guidance of the Exo Stranger. 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.{{Citation needed}}
[[File:Eris-morn-stasis.gif|thumb|290px|Eris Morn using Stasis against the House of Salvation.]]
Though Eris continued to find the Drifter obnoxious and insufferable and 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 balanced mind can aid them in mastering it, as she admited 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 understood that they were wary. Yet, Eris stated that even they can convince them of the necessity of wielding Stasis to survive what is to come.{{Citation needed}}

As the Guardian made progress in wielding Stasis and battling against [[Eramis, Kell of Darkness|Eramis]] and her [[House of Salvation]], Eris would comment that while they are far from true mastery, their progress marked a step forward for their cause. She hoped 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.{{Citation needed}}

Eris herself would also teach Stasis to other Guardians and show them that Darkness isn't inherently evil.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - Item Description: [[Pyrrhic Ascent Suit#Pyrrhic Ascent Bond|Pyrrhic Ascent Bond]]''</ref>

===Glint's Investigation===
During Glint's research into the mysterious [[Headless One]]s, he asked Eris for any information on them. However, Eris stated all the impossible things she has seen, but has yet to a pumpkin-headed creature, not even on the Moon.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/8/24)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Lost]] - [[Lore]]:[[Lore:Tales of the Forgotten — Vol. 1|Tales of the Forgotten — Vol. 1]], [[Lore:Tales of the Forgotten — Vol. 1#Luna - 1|Luna - 1]]''</ref>

===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 that 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, where the Hidden discovered a structure called the [[The Enclave|Enclave]] and the [[Relic (Mars)|Relic]] within, which Eris Morn confirmed both were related to the Pyramids. However, the investigation would take a new turn when Savathûn revealed herself upon her ship, [[The Lure]].<ref name="Arrival">'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - [[The Arrival]]''</ref>

The Guardian was then called in to investigate the Witch Queen's return. Upon getting inside her ship and infiltrating her Throne World, they would make a horrifying discovery: The [[Lucent Brood]] and its Lightbearing Hive.<ref name="Arrival"/> 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.{{Citation needed}} 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 learning 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]], to revive Savathûn as a Lightbearer, thereby proving that the Witch Queen never stole the Light but was ''blessed'' with it.<ref>'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - [https://youtu.be/jlzQnXcUxqI?t=503 Remembering]''</ref>
[[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. Eris would counter that the [[Fallen|Eliksni]] themselves speak of a similar tale, remarking that while the Traveler made the Eliksni world a paradise, once the Witness and its Black Fleet arrived, the Traveler left them to the Whirlwind before arriving in 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, the Last City would be defenseless and won't survive the Witness's return.<ref>'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - [https://youtu.be/jlzQnXcUxqI?t=579 Council]''</ref>

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 God]]s and forming the Pact that would create the Hive species and rebirth Sathona and her sisters into the Hive Gods.<ref>'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - [https://youtu.be/jlzQnXcUxqI?t=746 Worm]''</ref>

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.<ref>'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - [[The Ritual]]''</ref>

===Return of the Nightmares===
{{References|section}}
{{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's psionic form in an attempt to break the transfer of Calus's consciousness from the Leviathan to the Pyramid. In destroying and containing the summoned Nightmares, the Vanguard-Cabal coalition were victorious in stopping Calus's 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's consciousness. She constructs a device surrounding this, which allows users to invade a dimension representing his consciousness, enabling further understanding of Calus's 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.

===Search for the Relics of Nezarec===
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 [[Relics of Nezarec]] before Eramis and the Old Crews could. She would correspond with the Drifter a few times after he made her a gift<ref>'''Bungie (2022/8/23)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Plunder]] - [[Lore]]:[[Lore:Between Stolen Stars|Between Stolen Stars]], [[Lore:Between Stolen Stars#III - TRUST|III - TRUST]]''</ref> but also provided a brief lecture to [[Eido]], Mithrax's daughter and [[House of Light|House Light]]'s scribe, on the nature of both the Light and Darkness, specifically that neither is the singular source of knowledge and truth.{{Citation needed}}

===Studying the God of War===
As the Guardian and Bray sisters worked together to restore Rasputin and defeat [[Xivu Arath|Xivu Arath]], Eris Morn and Eido attempted to decipher her plans. Eris would realize the more they fight Xivu Arath, the stronger she becomes. Eido declared they must send a message to the Techeuns, so Mara Sov could stop Rasputin from being restored and strengthening Xivu Arath.<ref>'''Bungie (2022/12/6)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Seraph]] - Item Description: [[Infiltrator Shell#Lore|Infiltrator Shell]]''</ref>

===Sloane's Return===
Eris would meet with the Drifter upon the Derelict. The Drifter asked Eris to share with Sloane her experiences in the Hellmouth, to help her through her similar experience when Titan was Taken. However, Eris told him that he should be the one to speak to her and share his experiences. The Drifter didn't think Sloane would trust him, but Eris told him he must build trust by being vulnerable.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/5/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Deep]] - [[Lore]]:[[Lore:Purpose|Purpose]], [[Lore:Purpose#IV. Tether|IV. Tether]]''</ref>

Eris Morn would look upon her unbandaged face, and reflect on how she does weep for her condition, as it gave her the strength and time she needed to survive the Hellmouth. As she covers her eyes once more, she sees her Hive eyes as a sense of power.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/5/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Deep]] - Item Description: [[Pale Reflection#Lore|Pale Reflection]]''</ref>

===Embracing Vengeance===
Though the Vanguard made efforts to follow the Witness into the Traveler, each one failed. However, upon Titan's return and reuniting with Deputy Commander Sloane, they learn 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 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 Guardians weave the Hive's spells and reveal paths as Immaru guided them.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/8/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Witch]] - [[Way of the Witch]]''</ref> 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.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/8/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Witch]] - [[Savathûn's Spire (activity)|Savathûn's Spire]]''</ref>

Eris gifted Eido a collection of tomes on the nature of Hive rituals and runes. After much research, Eido remembered Eris was preparing for a ritual and planned to wish her good luck.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/8/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Witch]] - Item Description: [[Semiotician#Lore|Semiotician]]''</ref>

Understanding that only she could become the Hive God needed to defeat Xivu Arath, Eris began preparations for a ritual to transform herself. Ikora firmly spoke against this plan, fearing what it will do to her. Eris plainly stated that there is no other way to defeat Xivu Arath, for a continued stalemate with the War God would not be feasible. Only by 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 contorted, Hive chitin covering her body, until she became an entity akin to the Hive.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/8/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Witch]] - [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPrwuAJOx6s&t=80s Transformation]''</ref> 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 began feeding, slowly growing in strength.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/8/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Witch]] - [[Altars of Summoning (activity)|Altars of Summoning]]''</ref>

Eris wrote a letter to Mara Sov not apologizing for transforming into a Hive god, and says that she is no longer afraid. She thinks about how Mara chose to sacrifice herself during the Battle of Saturn to halt Oryx's fleet. She explains that she is prepared to do the same.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/8/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Witch]] - Item Description: [[The Eremite#Lore|The Eremite]]''</ref>

Eris asked Eido for her perspective on the [[Deck of Whispers]]. Eido remained distracted, looking at the ritual circle where Eris transformed. Eris would tell her she transforms both here, and the oubliette. Eido would ask if she forgets when she transforms, but Eris would state she remains herself always, and wondered if others had lied more convincingly.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/8/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Witch]] - Item Description: [[Locus Locutus#Lore|Locus Locutus]]''</ref>

Eventually, after many weeks of tithing, Eris Morn called 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.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/8/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Witch]] - Item Description: [[Locus Locutus#Lore|Locus Locutus]]''</ref> Once there, Immaru attempted to run away, believing that this plan will end disastrously, however, Eris forced him to stay, saying that he will either witness their triumph or die as one of them. Opening the Altar of The Sword, the Guardian entered the ritual space and was immediately forced to fight Xivu Arath's champion, the [[Leviathan-Eater, Bane of the Ammonites]]. After managing to defeat the Hive champion,<ref>'''Bungie (2023/8/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Witch]] - [[Mission: Sunder]]''</ref> Eris Morn revealed 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 used 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 permanently killed. Eris then collapsed to the ground, no longer the Hive God of Vengeance.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/8/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Witch]] - [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPrwuAJOx6s&t=395s Rejection]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2023/8/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Witch]] - [[The Bladed Path#Step 50|The Bladed Path: Step 50]]''</ref>

Afterwards, Savathûn 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 Savathûn regarding her promise to show the Vanguard how to enter the portal, but Savathûn 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 offered a peace offering, her faithful First Ghost Immaru would stay in Vanguard custody willingly and could be crushed at any time 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.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/8/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Witch]] - [[Lore]]:[[Lore:Rites of Passage|Rites of Passage]], [[Lore:Rites of Passage#A Deal's A Deal|A Deal's A Deal]]''</ref>

===Preventing the Final Shape===
As Mara bargained with Riven to create a way into the Traveler, Eris confided in the Drifter about her feelings of helplessness as Mara, Ikora, and the rest of her friends prepared to enter the Traveler. Unsure of the shape Riven's bargain would take, she believed that both she and the Drifter would not be among the front lines when the path was made. Drifter embraced her and reminded her that she once told him they would live through the night if they had to. Eris questioned why he hadn't left Sol yet, and he told her that he would miss the moonlight.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/11/28)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Wish]] - Item Description: [[Gloaming Journeyer#Lore|Gloaming Journeyer]]''</ref>

As preparations were underway for [[Operation Ahamkara]], Eris Morn offered the Guardian to send them into a memory of their experiences when they first obtained [[Whisper of the Worm]], allowing her to craft a more powerful version.<ref>'''Bungie (2024/4/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Into the Light]] - [[Whispers of the Past]]''</ref> The following weeks Eris would continue to unlock the weapon's potential, as the Guardian travelled back into the memory.<ref>'''Bungie (2024/4/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Into the Light]] - [[Whispers of the Taken I]]''</ref>

At Shaxx's request, the Guardian visited Eris Morn on their journey to inspire hope among their friends and allies. Eris noted that Shaxx has them on the front lines again, and offers them her expertise as she cannot join them due to the toll her transformation into a Hive god took on her. Thinking about her lack of Light to aid her recovery, she requests that the Guardian visit more mortals, such as [[Devrim Kay|Devrim]] and [[Hawthorne]].<ref>'''Bungie (2024/4/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Into the Light]] - [[Spin to Win]]''</ref>

[[Archangel|Archie]] would travel to the Moon and wanted to play fetch with Eris, but she redirected his attention to the railgun at [[Archer's Line]]. The Guardian would arrive after questioning [[Ada-1]] on his disappearance, and Eris pointed them in his direction. Later he would travel to the Lunar Pyramid, despite Eris's warnings.<ref>'''Bungie (2024/4/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Into the Light]] - [[Where on the Moon Is Archie?]]''</ref>

[[File:Drifter and Eris Excision.png|350px|thumb|Eris Morn, Drifter and Elsie Bray before the final fight with the Witness]]

While Ikora, Zavala, and the Guardian entered the Pale Heart, Eris waited with the Drifter on the H.E.L.M. for the signal to attack. The Drifter contemplated a jade coin with the image of a Pyramid on it, and Eris informed him that cryptic non-answers aren't needed for the future ahead of them.<ref>'''Bungie (2024/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Final Shape]] - Item Description: [[False Idols#Lore|False Idols]]''</ref>

Eris joined the [[The Coalition|Coalition]] forces for the final stand against the Witness. The army attacked the Witness, severing its hold over the Traveler's Light and in a direct attack, struck at the Witness directly, unmaking it with a tremendous surge of Light. At last, the War against the Witness was over, with the Coalition and the people of the Last City rejoicing.<ref>'''Bungie (2024/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Final Shape]] - [[Excision]]''</ref>

===Return to the Dreadnaught===
====Escaping Death====
Eris returned to the Deck of Whispers to help her decipher Savathûn and Xivu Arath's plans since the Witness's defeat. The cards no longer whispered to her, but she still used them occasionally to provide a new perspective on her questions. She drew three cards: the Witch, the Adherant, and the Harbinger, intended to represent the two sisters and Eris. As she drew the third card, she sensed the sisters would come for her soon. The fourth and final card she drew was the Lament, intended to represent Oryx and the Dreadnaught.<ref>'''Bungie (2024/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Episode: Echoes]] - Item Description: [[Ill Omen#Lore|Ill Omen]]''</ref>

The Vanguard detected an [[Eversion Anchor|artifact]] land in the [[European Dead Zone|EDZ]]. Eris and Drifter tasked the Guardian with investigating the artifact while they searched the Dreadnaught, believing it to be the artifact's source. Drifter informed the Guardian that whatever the artifact was, it created holes in the Ascendant Realm. Eris suspected the Taken weren't leaderless as they had hoped, but did not believe that one of Oryx's sisters had taken up the mantle of Taken Queen. Arriving at the Dreadnaught, they noticed that it appeared to be flayed of its living flesh. The Drifter found them a landing zone, and they began investigating further within, realizing the Taken energy had consumed even more of Akka's flesh. The Guardian arrived at the artifact, revealing to Eris that it was an anchor from the Dreadnaught attempting an eversion of Earth. Eris ordered the Guardian to dispatch the Taken before making contact with the Ascendant anchor.<ref>'''Bungie (2025/2/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Episode: Heresy]] - [[Espial]]''</ref>
[[File:Eris impaled.png|thumb|right|350px|Eris impaled by the Resonant Knife.]]
After briefly losing the Guardian's signal, Eris and Drifter detected that they had arrived on the Dreadnaught through the Ascendant Realm. They agreed to meet up with each other, and on the way, Eris and Drifter discovered a piece of the Tablets of Ruin. Within the Hall of Souls, Eris and Drifter were ambushed by the [[Dire Taken]], but quickly dispatched them. Eris suddenly felt an overwhelming presence, and sensing something was wrong, insisted that they needed to find the Guardian. However, more Taken and a [[Subjugator]] known as the [[The Resonant Knife, First of the Reshaped|Resonant Knife]] ambushed Eris and Drifter. The Taken targeted Drifter, keeping him occupied while the Subjugator charged Eris as she fired at it. The Resonant Knife picked her up by the neck, and she fruitlessly shot it in the face, before it stabbed her with its [[Subjugator Glaive|glaive]]. The Resonant Knife dragged her body away to the Mausoleum, where Drifter and the Guardian pursued her. However, after recovering her body, they realized it was too late, and Eris Morn was dead.<ref name="Recce">'''Bungie (2025/2/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Episode: Heresy]] - [[Recce]]''</ref>

However, Eris Morn awakened within a strange chamber containing Hive architecture. Realizing she had somehow survived, she laughed at her good fortune.<ref name="Recce"/>

====Binding the Echo====
{{Stub|section=yes}}
Realizing she was within a Throne World of her own creation, Eris began cutting seams through the Ascendant Realm to the Dreadnaught to get in contact with the Guardian. Eventually, she was able to get a message through, telling them to assemble Oryx's blade, Willbreaker, as it has the power to cut through the Ascendant Realm and break her free.<ref name="Act II">'''Bungie (2025/2/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Episode: Heresy]] - Item Description: [[Act II: Rites of the Deep#Steps|Act II: Rites of the Deep]]''</ref>

Reforging Willbreaker, the Guardian cut a rift into Eris's Throne World.<ref>'''Bungie (2025/2/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Episode: Heresy]] - [[Renascence]]''</ref> The Drifter followed the Guardian through, and Eris reassured him she was alright as the pair reunited. Eris turned to the Guardian, sharing that she had heard the Taken King had returned. She declared her Throne World to be named the High Heresy, in opposition to the Hive, swearing that she will be the downfall of the Hive siblings, beginning with capturing the Echo of Navigation.<ref name="Act II"/>

Eris explained her plan to Sloane, who instead thought the Echo should be destroyed. Eris believed Oryx's love for his sisters was fading, and could help them undermine them. Sloane didn't believe the Echo would cooperate with them, but agreed with Eris that they needed to continue their operations of the Dreadnaught and retain their foothold.<ref name="Act II"/>

Later, Eris detected a call from the Deep within the Dreadnaught. After Drifter tracked its location, Eris sent the Guardian to claim the power for themselves. Discovering an aberrant source of Taken energy, Eris decided to teach the Guardian how to embrace it, rather than fight it.<ref>'''Bungie (2025/2/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Episode: Heresy]] - [[Writ: Path of Ambition]]''</ref>

Discovering a Taken disturbance on the Moon, Eris sent the Guardian to disrupt them, while she used the opportunity to teach them a new way to wield Taken power. As the Guardian came across an Ogre being Taken, Eris Morn questioned who the entity behind the ritual was, as without Oryx or the Witness, the Hive do not possess the means to Take. After disrupting the ritual and teaching the Guardian about the Taken, they discovered a memory of Savathûn revealing to the Echo how the Witness deceived them. Knowing that Oryx was at a crossroads, potentially aligning with Savathûn, Eris decided it was time to act and began her preparations.<ref name="Act II"/>

Sloane and Eris came into conflict with their methods of controlling Taken energy. Sloane believed that to wield the Taken powers, you must exert control, while Eris believed you had to embrace them to use them to their full potential.<ref name="Act II"/>

Eris reflected on her argument, believing her method wasn't faith as Sloane had described, but ambition. She grew aware that Oryx was planning to flee to Fundament, and shared with the Guardian her plan to bind the Echo to her Throne World so she could excise Oryx's memory.<ref name="Act II"/>

Using a piece of the flesh of Akka, Eris began the ritual alongside the Guardian at the place where she died. As Savathûn and Xivu Arath sent their forces to stop the ritual, Eris and the Guardian finished the ritual, bringing the Echo to Eris's Throne World.<ref>'''Bungie (2025/2/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Episode: Heresy]] - [[Mission Captis]]''</ref>

Eris and Sloane argued again within the High Heresy. Sloane believed they needed to destroy the Echo, as it posed a threat to the Last City. Eris refused, seeking to gain as much knowledge as she could from it, knowing Oryx's sisters would soon be after it.<ref name="Act II"/>

====Destroying the Echo====
{{Stub|section=yes}}

===An Investigation===
Following the destruction of the Echo of Navigation, the Hidden began investigating chrono-spatial disruptions around Earth. While the rest of the Hidden investigated how the disruptions came to be, Eris Morn sought out what purpose they served. Considering that chrono-spatial distortions are unintended consequences, Eris believed the destruction of the Echo unlocked a latent power within the Taken.<ref name="Distortions">'''Bungie (2025/7/15)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Reclamation]] - [[Lore]]:[[Lore:As Without|As Without]], [[Lore:As Without#Distortions|Distortions]]''</ref>

Around the Golden Age ruins on Europa, Eris observed independent Taken being lured by Vex into containment. Eris captured a [[Minotaur]], at the cost of a chipped tooth. Within her ship, Eris downloaded data from the Minotaur, but accidentally triggered it's self-destruction protocols, damaging her ship. Analyzing the data, Eris noticed significant "irrational" data alongside the standard protocols, leading her to conclude the Vex that were capturing the Taken are a part of the [[Nessian Schism]]. The "irrational" data breached Eris's ship's firewall, causing glitches within her local timespace continuum. Using a spell from [[Haroktha, Scourge of the Helium Drinkers|Haroktha]]'s Brood, Eris contained the glitch. Some components of her ship experienced years of aging, while others were restored to mint condition. Eris came to the conclusion that the Vex were attempting to manipulate time itself.<ref name="Distortions"/>

Seeking assistance from a Vex expert, Eris Morn arrived on Nessus where she was invited by Failsafe to have tea, as she identified her ship's signature. As Failsafe analyzed the Minotaur's remains, she recommended non-poisonous flora for Eris to blend Nessian tea. Failsafe noted that different parts of the Vex aged differently, similar to the temporal distortions Eris and Drifter experienced. Eris also saved some of the tea for Drifter.<ref name="Fissures">'''Bungie (2025/7/15)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Reclamation]] - [[Lore]]:[[Lore:As Without|As Without]], [[Lore:As Without#Fissures|Fissures]]''</ref>

Observing the Vex, Eris speculated that [[Maya Sundaresh]]'s control over the [[Echo of Command]] has weakened, as she saw several bands of Vex wandering independently. She also came across a group of Vex brutally punished and drained of radiolaria. The Neomuni also reported a theft of Golden Age data, stolen by Maya Sundaresh.<ref name="Fissures"/>

Failsafe's final analysis of the Vex noted that it had come into contact with [[Dark matter]]. Eris and Drifter examined dark matter emissions across the Sol System, and none coincided with the Nessian Schism, and the last led off into empty space. The trail led to the outer system, and Eris alerted Ikora Rey, who was also investigating similar radiation past Neptune. Eris followed the trail, but where it led her is unclear.<ref name="Fissures"/>

==Personality and traits==
{{References|section}}
{{quote|You saved us all. Your sacrifice—" <br> "I am still here. My sacrifice was—" <br> "Enough" <br> "And I should ask new heroes to fall... as they did?" <br> "It is why we were reborn in the Light."|Ikora Rey and Eris}}

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.
[[File:ErisMornVendor.jpg|thumb|300px|Eris Morn]]
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 with whom she maintained a true friendship was the Gensym Scribe, [[Asher Mir]], finding kindred spirits in each other due to the changing experiences they have had at the hands of aliens. Regarding the Guardian, Eris showed respect for their efforts in protecting the Last City and gratitude for their listening to her warnings. She was especially grateful for their actions in slaying Crota and Oryx, granting her vengeance for the friends she had 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 for 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 of 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.

Most uniquely, Eris bears strong connections to powerful and legendary figures in the Solar System, namely Queen [[Mara Sov]] and [[Osiris]]. For an unknown time, she maintained a level of communication with the exiled warlock. With Mara Sov, however, Eris possessed a level of trust and respect with the Reef Queen, having full knowledge of her plans in the [[Battle of Saturn]] and what needed to be done to achieve victory against Oryx. Further, she relayed her findings in creating Throne Worlds to Mara and what information she had on Savathûn, the Witch-Queen.

==Inventory==
Players must speak to Eris to unlock the [[Story Mission]]s and [[Will of Crota]] strike in [[The Dark Below]], as she is the story agent for the expansion. Besides offering quests, Eris offers her own [[bounties]] and has her own [[reputation]] stat. She sells unique [[shader]]s, [[emblem]]s, class items, and a few [[upgrade material]]s specific to the expansion.

When The Dark Below is obtained, Eris will hand over a quest line called the [[Rise of Crota]]. After completing the quest and its missions, Eris will award you with the legendary fusion rifle [[Murmur]]. Eris will give you two quest lines, [[The Extermination]] and the [[Urn of Sacrifice]]. The Extermination will award you with the [[Mark of the Duskborn]], [[Cloak of the Dusktorn]], or [["Curse of the Hidden"]] depending on your class. The Urn of Sacrifice will award you with [[Knightbone Guard]], [[Acolyte Rung]], or [[Thrallskin Brace]] depending on your class.

===''The Dark Below''===
Available items for purchase depends on what level of reputation the player has with her. Unlike many other vendors, she sells upgrade materials and ammo synthesis in exchange for [[Black Wax Idol]]s.

==Trivia==
*Eris is voiced by [https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2185286/ Morla Gorrondona].
*[[Wikipedia:Eris_(mythology)|Eris]] is the goddess of discord in Greek mythology.
*During the Festival of the Lost, Eris gives the player the item Tiny Box of Raisins instead of the candy given by all other vendors. The raisins seemed useless and could only be discarded. As of update 2.4.1, they became Ascendant Raisins and granted a Grimoire card to those who still had them.<ref>'''Bungie (2016/10/24)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Festival of the Lost]] - [[Grimoire]]:[[Grimoire:Activities|Activities]]/[[Grimoire:Activities/Other Activities|Other Activities]], [[Grimoire:Activities/Other Activities#Ascendant Raisins|Ascendant Raisins]]''</ref> In their place, the player is given a Piece of Celery.
*Her past and experiences with the Hive mirror that of the [[Fallen]] [[Scorn]] Baron, [[Hiraks, the Mindbender]], as he survived the Hellmouth as a [[Dreg]] and emerged changed. However, where Eris desired vengeance on the Hive, Hiraks grew obsessed with them and their powers.
*In [[Shadowkeep]], Eris is haunted by the phantoms of her former [[Fireteam]]. At the start of the campaign, she is accompanied by just one phantom, but as the story progresses, a total of five haunt her.
**It is possible for the phantoms to dissipate one by one when the player brings Eris their respective mementos every other week. Afterwards, her attire will change slightly with the addition of Hive-enchanted embroidery.
*In the dark future experienced by the Exo Stranger, Eris becomes the leader of the army of Darkness-aligned beings. In this future, she subjugates the Vex to her own control,<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]] - [[Lore]]:[[Lore:The Dark Future|The Dark Future]], [[Lore:The Dark Future#Chapter 9: The Return|Chapter 9: The Return]]''</ref> corrupts Ana Bray into a double agent for Darkness,<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]] - [[Lore]]:[[Lore:The Dark Future|The Dark Future]], [[Lore:The Dark Future#Chapter 8: Migration|Chapter 8: Migration]]''</ref> and orchestrates the [[The Bombardment|Bombardment]] of the Last City.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]] - [[Lore]]:[[Lore:The Dark Future|The Dark Future]], [[Lore:The Dark Future#Chapter 5: Almighty, Once|Chapter 5: Almighty, Once]]''</ref>
*Eris has been shown to write left-handed.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruystidIISc '''YouTube''': ''Destiny 2: Season of the Witch Lo-Fi Beats to Tithe To'']</ref>
*In the early days of [[Episode: Heresy]], if you interacted with Eris Morn on the [[Moon]], she reverts to her reference pose in the vendor menu. This had since been patched.
*Eris does not like being close to others as on the Moon she has many voice lines asking the player to step back and to not crowd her, even hinting she might hurt them if she's startled.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/31)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]] - Eris Morn: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nZexFheLEg "Do not startle me. I might hurt you."]</ref>
