As with all Guardians, Eris does not remember her life before being resurrected by her [[Ghost]]. However, a series of messages to [[Young Wolf|the Guardian]] from an unknown source seemingly provide an account of her first life. Narrated by both "[https://www.destinypedia.com/Medusa Medusa]", a self-proclaimed [[craftmind]] from the Golden Age, and by Eris herself, these messages are gathered in the Lore book "[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/categories/book-truth-to-power Truth to Power]".  
As with all Guardians, Eris does not remember her life before being resurrected by her [[Ghost]]. However, a series of messages sent to [[the Guardian]] from an unknown source seemingly provide an account of her first life. Narrated by both "[[Medusa]]", a self-proclaimed [[craftmind]] from the Golden Age, and by Eris herself, these messages are gathered in the Lore book "[[Lore:Truth to Power|Truth to Power]]".  


The messages claim that in her first life, the woman who would be reborn as the Guardian Eris was named Erisia Pyatova-Hsien. She lived in St. Petersburg, Russia in the 22nd century, during the [[Golden Age]]. She was a skilled swimmer, and enjoyed swimming in the Neva River during her youth and adulthood. In her late thirties, she died during an ill-advised and unassisted winter swim across the Neva.<ref>https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/is-it-you</ref>

Fellow agents who worked side by side with Eris Morn and Eris herself (who was confirmed still active in the field) denied that Eris sent any of the messages attributed to her.


The messages were poorly encrypted in some [[Glimmer]] the Guardian had retrieved and were then forwarded by [[the Guardian]]'s [[Ghost (Little Light)|Ghost]] to [[Ikora Rey]] and her Hidden agents. Fellow agents who worked side by side with Eris Morn and Eris herself (who is confirmed still active in the field) denied that Eris sent any of the messages attributed to her.
Ikora Rey then started an inquiry, assigning an investigation to her Hidden agents. One of the agents, FEN-092, compiled a report which details photographic and video evidence that Eris was born a child of the Last City over 300 years prior to civilian parents in a neighbourhood inhabited by civilians and Guardians alike. This was corrborated by Ghost recordings from the period and a double-blind forensic analysis.  
 
Ikora Rey then started an inquiry, assigning an investigation to her Hidden agents. The results of this investigation are gathered in the Lore book "[https://www.destinypedia.com/Lore:Stolen_Intelligence Stolen Intelligence]", chapter "Forgeries", a report by the agent FEN-092<ref>https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/forgeries#book-stolen-intelligence</ref>.
 
The new information leads to the real origins of Eris Morn: born to civilian parents, she lived in a mortal-Guardian integrated neighborhood of the Last City. Double-blind forensic analysis and other proof like radiocarbon dating of some pictures of the child and timestamps on live footage from a Ghost of the same era, confirmed that the period was around 300 years before the present.
 
Further cross referencing with Warmind [https://www.destinypedia.com/Rasputin Rasputin] and the Golden Age AI [https://www.destinypedia.com/Failsafe Failsafe] confirmed that no craftmind called "Medusa" ever existed during the Golden Age.
 
The agent concludes that these messages are simply a forgery, used to mislead the Guardian and to make them doubt their allies. He lists some possible authors and, among them, the code name for [[Savathûn]] appears.

Eris then returns to the Tower and meets Zavala in his office for a debrief on what has happened. Eris tells Zavala that she intends to return to Io, but the Vanguard Commander pleads with her not to go any further. She leaves anyway, determined to figure out what Savathûn and the Darkness want. She returns to the Cradle, only to find it swarmed with Savathûn's forces. Eris calls on the Guardians to take back the tree, and when they succeed, she uses the Seed of Silver Wings to receive and interpret the Pyramid's broadcasts. She begins camping at the foot of the tree, though she is regularly driven out by Savathûn's forces, requiring her to enlist the help of Guardians again to clear them out.

In the meantime, Eris made reports to Zavala and reflected on the broadcasts received from the Pyramid, while also learning to cook fried rice with raisins and pineapple, using a hot plate and a makeshift wok salvaged from the Moon. While cooking, she would encounter some problems, mainly not knowing what a pineapple is, nor where to get any.<ref name="SingularExegete>'''Bungie (2020/6/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Arrivals]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:The Singular Exegete|The Singular Exegete]]''</ref> A Guardian named [[Enina]] later found Eris, seeking to help her with her investigations, to which Eris responded by snapping at her to bring her a pineapple.<ref name="SingularExegete/> Enina returned a few weeks later, telling Eris of an [[New Pacific Arcology|arcology]] [[Arboretum|garden]] on [[Titan (moon)|Titan]] known to contain pineapple seeds.

Weeks into her investigation, Eris discovered that the Tree of Silver Wings had grown a branch with leaves that resembled tiny feathers. Interpreting it as a gift from the Pyramid, she invited Zavala and the Guardian to see it. The Guardian removed the branch, and, with Eris' help, grew the branch into a weapon, the [[Ruinous Effigy]].
