With City-Reef relations deteriorating, Queen Mara demoted Petra to Emissary and exiled her to [[the Last City]]. Petra was uncomfortable living in the City, regarding its inhabitants as ignorant of their place in the world. After years of exile, she pleaded with the Queen to end her exile and allow her to return to the Reef.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Allies/The_Queen#Petra_Venj.2C_Queen.27s_Wrath|Petra Venj, Queen's Wrath]]''</ref> | ||
Petra | ===Hunting the Wolves=== | ||
{{Quote|Last week I was delivering court messages. Today, we're delivering explosions! I love fieldwork! Get after them, Guardian.|Petra}} | |||
After the Queen aided a [[The Guardian|Guardian]] in acquiring a Vex Gate Lord's eye to enter the [[Black Garden]], Petra was allowed to return to the Reef. She was stationed at the [[Vestian Outpost]] to serve as an emissary between Guardians visiting the Reef and the Queen. She met with the Guardian who the Queen had aided and tasked them with killing [[Draksis, Winter Kell|Draksis]], the Kell of the [[House of Winter]] and a thorn in the side of both the Reef and Last City. While the Guardian was accomplishing that task, [[Skolas, Kell of Kells|Skolas]] escaped from the [[Nine]] and broke many of his followers out of the [[Prison of Elders]]. Most of the House of Wolves then [[Wolf Rebellion|rebelled]] against Queen Mara and fled the Reef.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard'', [[House of Wolves (quest)]]</ref> Petra was stunned by the return of Skolas, noting that Queen Mara had assured the Reef that he would never be seen again. The Queen ordered Petra to report to [[Uldren Sov]] to see what his [[Crow]]s had learned, and Petra vowed not to rest until the hunt for Skolas was done.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Activities/House_of_Wolves#The_Hunt_for_Skolas|The Hunt for Skolas]]''</ref> | |||
When the Guardian returned after killing Draksis, Petra informed them of the rebellion and ordered them to head to Venus to prevent Skolas from taking control of the now leaderless House of Winter. Despite the circumstances, the hunt for the Wolves invigorated Petra, and she was eager to oversee the operation to take down Skolas. She directed the Guardian to destroy the House of Winter's heavy artillery to prevent the Wolves from utilizing it. The Guardian discovered Skolas had subjected the House of Winter already, and found him making a speech. Petra ordered [[Variks, the Loyal|Variks]] to translate, and he informed them that Skolas had declared himself Kell of Kells. Skloas managed to escape, but a number of his followers were killed by the Guardian. Petra detected a mysterious Vex signal amongst the Fallen and ordered the Guardian to return to the Reef.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[A Kell Rising]]''</ref> | |||
===The Taken War=== | |||
Following the [[Battle of Saturn|defeat of the Awoken Fleet]] at the hands of [[Oryx, the Taken King]], a grief-ridden Petra was appointed to the position of Acting Regent-Commander of the Reef in the wake of Queen [[Mara Sov]]'s apparent death. She would then go on to assist in the [[Taken War]] by assisting [[Variks]] and a fireteam of Guardians with tracking down the last remaining holdouts of the [[House of Wolves]] and offering bounties on Taken leaders and troops. | Following the [[Battle of Saturn|defeat of the Awoken Fleet]] at the hands of [[Oryx, the Taken King]], a grief-ridden Petra was appointed to the position of Acting Regent-Commander of the Reef in the wake of Queen [[Mara Sov]]'s apparent death.
