Eris Morn

"Six of us went down into the pit. Only one crawled out. I am Eris, the last. I have seen what the Hive call a god."

- Eris

Eris Morn is a vendor found in the Tower, as of the implementation of The Dark Below. She is also an important character in The Taken King, serving as the Vanguard's authority on the Hive and Oryx.

Biography
Eris was one of six Guardians who descended into the Hellmouth to kill the Hive god Crota in revenge for the deaths of thousands of Guardians who had tried to reclaim the Moon during The Great Disaster. Though the other five members of her fireteam, Eriana-3, Toland, the Shattered, Omar Agah, Vell Tarlowe, and Sai Mota, died during the venture and her own Ghost was lost, Eris managed to survive in the Hellmouth's shadowy warrens for years. She eventually returned to the Tower alive, but changed. Her obsession with Crota made her a pariah back at the Tower, but though the Speaker and Commander Zavala believe her obsession is unhealthy, Ikora Rey secretly employed her as a member of the Hidden to infiltrate and keep watch on the activities of the Darkness. Though she works for Ikora, she also reports to Osiris and Mara Sov.

Eris claims that after the Hive took her eyes, she replaced them with those of a Hive enemy, third eye included. Apparently that was not enough, though, as one of the tasks she sends the player on is to obtain the eyes of The Forsaken for some undisclosed purpose.

With Crota's death, Eris turned her attention to his master, Oryx, and for this purpose she turned to the Queen of the Reef for help. 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 kill Oryx. She is one of the guides in The Taken King, and among the first to detect the threat of the Taken. Cayde-6 likes to refer to her as his "creepy sidekick" in their efforts to stop Oryx, much to her immense annoyance.

Gameplay
Players must speak to Eris to unlock the Story Missions 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 shaders, emblems, class items, and a few upgrade materials 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 Gaurdr, Acolyte Rung, or Thrallskin Brace depending on your class.

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 Idols.

Trivia

 * 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 grant a Grimoire card to those who still have them.
