Cabal: Difference between revisions

Despite this failure and Caiatl still refusing to take part in the binding ritual, Eris instead looks for a new way forward and finds a clue to one on the moon. Tasking the Guardians to investigate, they enter the K1 Revelation site on the Moon, battling with the [[Nightmare of Arguth, the Tormented]] near a relic belonging to Calus. After slaying the Nightmare, Eris had discovered a call to the Pyramid in the dying screams of the Nightmare. Eris surmises that in lieu of the severed connections to the Pyramid, Calus had used the relic within K1 Revelation as a focusing point to strengthen what remained. Now, Eris directs the Guardian to the Lunar Pyramid and there they discover Calus's Loyalists deceased, with Egregore lining their esophagus. Eris then understands that Calus forfeited their lives to ferry his mind across a great distance and hasten ingress to the Pyramid. Concluding that Calus is now desperate, that their plan is working, Eris seeks to speak with Caiatl. Speaking with the Guardian, however, Eris understood Calus knew exactly what he was doing, goading his daughter to recklessly strike out on her own. Nonetheless, with the recent discovery found near the Pyramid, Eris is able to figure out that Calus is seeking to become one with the Lunar Pyramid and claim its power. Worse, Eris believes Calus is doing this at the behest of The Witness in bringing about a second Collapse.

Finally speaking with Caiatl, Eris once again offers her support but the Empress remains hesitant as the weight of her responsibilities as leader of the Cabal makes her reluctant to engage in the situation as Caiatl herself. However, Eris states that she is not a crown but a woman with a burden and that her true nightmare is the expectations placed on her as leader. Understanding this and realizing she doesn't know what she wants for the future, Caiatl agrees to take part in the binding ritual.
