===The Endless Night=== | ===The Endless Night=== | ||
Following the successful armistice with the Cabal Empire, the Last City would find itself trapped in an [[Endless Night]], the result of a powerful Vex simulation, that has begun to drain the city of its power. Requiring aid from the one individual who has the knowledge to breach into the Vex's domain, the Vanguard reaches out to [[Mithrax]], Kell of the [[House of Light]]. After saving his people from a Vex attack, Mithrax agrees to lend his aid with Ikora offering his House shelter within the walls of the Last City, to which the Light Kell gratefully accepts. However, while many accepted the Vanguard's alliance with the Eliksni House of Light, others saw them as painful reminders of the bloodshed that has been committed for centuries between them, leading to paranoia and suspicion. Amanda Holliday however, was optimistic of the alliance with the House of Light, lending her mechanical expertise in helping the eliksni set up their homes in the [[Botza Ruins]] and their Ether production. She would even attempts to learn the eliksni language to help bridge the gap between humanity and eliksni but also try to assuage the discomfort Saint-14 had with the eliskni's presence, even as he managed to reach an understanding with Mithrax. | |||
Amanda would also conduct various projects, specifically with an eliksni named [[Niik]], creating a new sparrow in the process. Unfortunately, the Consensus Factions had grown increasingly wary of the House of Light, even as they succeeded in not only aiding the Guardians in locating the architect of the Endless Night, [[Quria, the Dreaming Mind]] but also managed to fully lift the veil and return daylight. It all came to a head when [[Lakshmi-2]], leader of the [[Future War Cult]], conducted a conspiracy with the other factions in using Vex portal tech to forcefully remove the Eliksni from the Last City and oust the Vanguard's current leadership. However, the coup ended disastrously when the portal allowed Vex to pour into the City, killing Lakshmi and anyone else. Racing to close the portal, the Guardians stormed the Vex realm and destroyed the Vex mind in control, stopping the Vex from entering the city, but enough of the machines remained and they were closing in on the eliskni. Gathering her shotgun, Amanda Holliday entered the fray to defend the House of Light alongside Mithrax, Saint-14, Zavala and Ikora, removing the Vex and saving the eliskni. | |||
After the coup was exposed, leading the factions to flee, the Vanguard reaffirmed their alliance with the House of Light. Amanda once again lent her mechanical skills to help the elisksni rebuild, with Mithrax offering the shipwright his thanks and was surprised that she wasn't a Lightbearer and yet still risked her life to defend his people. | |||
===Painful Truths=== | |||
Sometime after the Endless Night and the appearance of the [[Lucent Brood]], which included its own Lightbearers, the Vanguard entered into a coalition with the Cabal to combat this Hive threat. Amanda welcomed this alliance, actually lending air support for the Guardian by piloting a [[Hawk]] and dropping a Drake tanks against Cabal insurgents dissatisfied with Empress Caiatl. | |||
However, prior to this, Amanda had learned Crow's former identity as Cayde's murderer, Uldren Sov, leading the shipwright to reject him, acting cold and distant towards Crow, much to his discomfort. Amanda was ultimately frustrated that the friend she had made was originally the one she had despised. | |||
