Crota's Assault: Difference between revisions

===The Dark Below===

Many years later, Eris Morn would find evidence that the Hive were stirring, likely in preparation of Crota's return but her warnings to the Vanguard would often be dismissed as they often viewed her warnings as madness. Some Guardians however, including one who would be called the Young Wolf, listened to her warnings and agreed to help her in thwarting the Hive's schemes. Firstly, Eris Morn had the Guardians target Crota's consort, Omnigul, who planned on corrupting the Warmind Rasputin into serving the Hive. Forming a strike team, the Guardians succeeded in saving Rasputin, drive Omnigul out of hiding and take her out, depriving the [[Spawn of Crota]] a valuable leader. Further, the Guardians succeeded in hunting down the feared [[Swarm Princes]] and their leader, Sardon himself. The loss of their army's leaders led to the Hive to fall into disarray and granted the Last City more time to prepare. These victories also led the Vanguard to reconsider their views of Eris, now taking her knowledge of the Hive seriously.

To prevent Crota from returning to the material plan and likely lead his armies himself, Eris guided the Guardians back to the Moon where the chamber housing Crota's soul was located in midst of a summoning ritual. Due to the Guardians disrupting the ritual, the crystal tethering Crota's soul in the [[Chamber of Night]] would be sent back to the Ascendant realm, banishing his shadowy presence from the physical world and thereby preventing his corporeal return. Though the Vanguard viewed this victory as a sigh of relief, Eris Morn however, believed they had only delayed the inevitable. Unless Crota himself is slain, he will return to complete his conquest. Thus, Eris Morn organizes the Guardians to form a Raid team to breach into the deepest pit of the Hellmouth so they confront the Hope-Eater.
