Prison of Elders: Difference between revisions

The '''Prison of Elders''' is a prison facility in [[The Reef]], formerly under the oversight of [[Variks, the Loyal]]. It is based on the [[House of Judgment]]'s traditions for settling disputes between [[Fallen]] through trial by combat. The Archon Priest [[Aksor, Archon Priest|Aksor]] was previously a prisoner before later being retrieved by [[Taniks]] and having his soul restored by the [[House of Winter]] on [[Venus]]. The Prison of Elders is also known to contain members of the [[House of Wolves]] that were captured during the [[Reef Wars]], <ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies#Ghost_Fragment:_The_Queen|Ghost Fragment: The Queen]]''</ref> though it also contains [[Hive]], [[Vex]] and [[Cabal]] inmates who have attacked the Reef. These prisoners are considered "trophies" by the Reef, kept cryogenically frozen for the Queen's benefit. Though since [[Skolas]]' rebellion, the Queen now wants the prison cleared out, and has recruited the [[Guardian]]s to do it.<ref>'''Bungie (2015-5-19)''', ''Destiny: House of Wolves, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Activities#Prison of Elders|Prison of Elders]]''</ref>

A year after the [[Red War]], the undead [[Fallen]] horde known as the [[Scorn]] orchestrated an incredibly massive breakout from the prison, following a lack of order after [[Mara Sov]]'s and [[Variks, The Loyal|Variks]]' disappearances. [[Uldren Sov]] was behind the escape, and executed [[Cayde-6]] with his own [[Ace of Spades|weapon]] after he attempted to stop the breakout alongside the [[The Guardian|Guardian]]. Numerous prisoners not strictly affiliated with the Scorn, collectively referred to as [[the Wanted]], also escaped the prison, going on to roam [[Patrol]] zones and roost in [[Lost Sector]]s.
