Legend of Acrius is an exotic [[Shotgun]] in [[Destiny 2]]. | '''Legend of Acrius''' is an exotic [[Shotgun]] in ''[[Destiny 2]]''. This weapon was earned by completing the "On the Comms" and "Destroyer of Worlds" quests until ''[[Beyond Light]]'', when it became available for purchase through the [[Monument To Lost Lights]]. | ||

'''"In the Cabal legend, a hero seeks to possess the sun. He succeeds. Then, he becomes Emperor. The Cabal… are not a subtle people." —Tyra Karn''' | |||
That really is the entire myth. A Cabal named [[Acrius]] desires the sun, and he takes it and becomes the first [[Cabal Emperor|Emperor of the Cabal]]. Other scholars have already noted the parallels and differences with our own ancient Earth myth of Icarus, which famously has a far more humbling ending. I am more interested in how [[Cabal]] leaders throughout history have deployed this legend as a rhetorical and political justification for conquest. Among the most relevant such figures is [[Dominus Ghaul]] himself, who appears to have a personal affinity for the Acrius myth. I must also note here that, while linguistic analysis of the Cabal language and its many dialects is incomplete, they do not appear to have a word for the concept of "hubris." —Research notes of Tyra Karn | |||
