Empress Caiatl: Difference between revisions

To aid in her ambitions, Caiatl began attempting to rally the remnants of the Red Legion back to her side and exhorted all loyal Cabal across the Sol System to prove themselves by capturing Calus. Although the remnants of the Red Legion on [[Earth]], [[Nessus]], and the [[Reef]] responded to her call and offered tribute, they could not comply with her orders as with the arrival of the [[Pyramids|Black Fleet]] to that system, the ''[[The Leviathan|Leviathan]]'' disappeared without a trace.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/20)''', ''[[Weblore]]: [https://www.bungie.net/en/Explore/Detail/News/49747 Immolant Pt. 2]''</ref> She dispatched [[Caiatl's Emissaries|emissaries and scouts]] to the system, however, they began to report abandoned Red Legion camps with signs of internal conflicts.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]] - [[Vanguard Communications]]''</ref> Additionally, a [[Wrathborn|mysterious disease]] of [[Hive]] origin began to spread amongst the fringes of the Cabal empire.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]] - [[Wild_Hunt_Armor_(Titan)#Wild_Hunt_Helm|Wild Hunt Helm]]''</ref>

===Fall of Torobatl===

{{Quote|Our people are not meant to flee our battles. But neither are we the Hive, throwing ourselves on the blade again and again. There is strength in tactical retreat.|Caiatl, informing her war council of her decision to retreat from Torobatl}}

Caiatl's coronation was held the next day as the Cabal fleet retreated from Torobatl.<ref name="E7"/> Following her coronation, Caiatl addressed the entire Cabal fleet to address their concerns about the fall of their homeworld and their retreat, reassuring them that there was no shame in withdrawing to consolidate strength for future conflict. She urged them to remember that they found themselves in a war with the embodiment of war itself, and admitted that she now found conflict to be ugly and poisonous and that the Cabal must fight for a greater purpose than the fight itself. Caiatl declared they would fight for each other and the Empire and would do so with the remnants of the Red Legion in the Sol System. She vowed that she would lead the Cabal into a new age, one where she would fulfill promises that her father left incomplete. She began by announcing that all [[Psion]]s were now free and full citizens of the Empire and any who wished to depart could do so and be granted a reasonable amount of supplies. Caiatl cautioned that those who remained would soon find themselves in another war, but that together they would build an army that fought for each other. She then ended her address by declaring that they would emerge victorious against the false gods of the Hive and would unite to draw strength from the past to forge a new united future for all Cabal.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Empress#CHAPTER_8:_EMPRESS|Empress CHAPTER 8: EMPRESS]]''</ref>
