→Savathûn's Throne World
| Line 98: | Line 98: | ||
In a rare moment of reprieve from his duty overseeing the Witch Queen, Rhulk had stepped out of the throne world for the first time in an unknown while. Ever driven to conquest an empire once more, Rhulk chose the ringed world of [[Kalarahnda]], with its yellow haze streaking ruby clouds, as his intended target. The vaulted ring surrounding Kalarahnda was immediately shattered at the Lubrean's hands into a shimmer-like, windblown sand much to his exhilarating glory. His destructive revelry would only be short-lived, however, as an apocalyptic cult called the [[Polyps of the Longshadow]] emerged from the shadows in jubilation at the breaking of the vaulted ring. Having divined Rhulk's coming to be the final sign of their ascension, they unleashed their doomsday armaments upon Kalarahnda and scrubbed all life on the planet; stealing the former the purity of their extinction. In a report to the Witness, Rhulk would deduce Kalarahnda's destruction to be the guileful work of Savathûn herself, undermining him of his involvement.<ref name="Resonant Fury Robes">'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - [[Armor|Armor lore]]: [[Resonant Fury Suit (Warlock)#Resonant Fury Robes|Resonant Fury Robes]]''</ref> | In a rare moment of reprieve from his duty overseeing the Witch Queen, Rhulk had stepped out of the throne world for the first time in an unknown while.

The First Disciple observed Savathûn building a palace within her domain as he relayed word of her brother's [[King's Fall|demise]] in the [[Taken War]]. Having suspected her of played a role in the Taken King's death, Rhulk nonetheless offers condescending commendation for having outwitted Oryx and seized his secret of [[Taken|Taking]] as spoils. Savathûn smugly denies Rhulk any straight answers but the latter warns that Oryx's death | The First Disciple observed Savathûn building a palace within her domain as he relayed word of her brother's [[King's Fall|demise]] in the [[Taken War]].

Savathûn smugly denies Rhulk any straight answers but the latter warns her that Oryx's death placed a target on her by the god-slaying [[Guardians]], without the presence of her brother to shelter her in the shadows. She instantly rebukes Rhulk's words having nothing to fear from her exposure, showing no restraint in her expression.<ref name="Resonant Fury Boots">'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - [[Armor|Armor lore]]: [[Resonant Fury Suit (Warlock)#Resonant Fury Boots|Resonant Fury Boots]]''</ref> | ||
