Cabal: Difference between revisions

As they traverse the former Emperor's mindscape, the Guardians hear every repressed personal thought of Calus, from his rise to power, overthrowing the Praetorate, his drunken stupors to the moment Ghaul led the coup against him. As they progressed, the Guardians faced off against the [[Nightmare of Gahlran, Sorrow Bearer]]. Despite the danger, the Guardians prevail against the Nightmare and collect more memories of Calus's time during his exile before coming into contact with [[The Witness]], vowing to become its herald and be the last being left in the universe before the end. Their journey through the expansive world of Calus's mind would ultimately have the Guardians confront a phantom of the Emperor's daughter, the [[Nightmare of Caiatl, Princess-Imperial]]. After a struggle, using the reality of Calus's mind against it, the Guardians managed to defeat Nightmare of Caiatl before claiming the last of Calus's repressed memories. With Eris's aid, the Guardians returned to their reality and, from what they had gleaned from Calus's nightmares, is that the former Emperor is seeking a transfiguration of sorts, believing it will help him understand the goals of the Witness. Recalling Calus mentioning the "final shape" that Eris has heard before in Hive Apocrypha and from Toland, she claims that by understanding the true goals of what the Witness seeks, they might be able to prevent a second Collapse.
