Grimoire:Places



The following is a list of Places entries for the Grimoire:

The City
"From across the ruined earth they came, seeking shelter from the storm."

- Card blurb

Every wayward soul unlucky enough to be born outside The City's protecting arms whispers its truth across the wastes: A metropolis, risen from the ashes of the Collapse, sheltered by the Traveler. It is a promise and a dream, the only refuge from the Darkness.

The Tower
"Swords were joined to give refuge to peace."

- Card blurb

The Tower is the only home many Guardians ever know. To the people of the City, it stands as a promise that we can endure. The merchants and citizens who fill its plazas and halls are as dedicated to the reclamation of our worlds as the Guardians who venture into the Darkness beyond.

Ghost Fragment: The Dark Age
"No one knew what had happened to the Traveler. No one understood what had happened to the world. But they heard the whispered call."

- Card blurb

They came from the wild lands, gathering in secret enclaves, slipping through the howling ruins of shattered cities, hoping to find the coast, find a ship, pick up the trail of an impossible dream.

From the deep black came the Awoken, their eyes haunted. Exos marched in the refugee columns, cloaked in moss and shattered memories. And among them came the Ghosts, beginning their search.

It was a time of vast suffering and terrible evil. But there was one hope: the promise of a refuge beneath the Traveler.

The Ocean of Storms
"...Yet I fear the moon's jade mansions are much too high and cold for me. Holding tight my midnight shadow, I would not leave the human world..."

- Poem Excerpt, Chinese poet, Song Dynasty, Old Earth

The support base centered here was likely the first off-Earth colony, though it has long been left in ruin. In the centuries since, Hive temples have begun to breach the surface, exposing entrances to their fortress below. It was here that we came face-to-face with Crota and his legions, a force so powerful that we abandoned the Moon. Now Guardians venture into its depths seeking revenge, most never to return.
