Crown of Sorrow: Difference between revisions

{{Quote|I chose Gahlran, and his frailty betrayed us. He was too pure, too alone. Our new guests are neither. A glorious chain of Dark minds. An open mouth for the One in the Darkness, that it may sing in exaltation of my majesty. Greatness recognizes greatness. To invoke the attention of the End, our offer must be great.|Emperor Calus' address to the crew of the Glykon.}}

The Crown was shipped aboard the ''[[Glykon Volatus]]'' along with Calus's scribe [[Amsot]], numerous Psion Councilors and [[Katabasis]] in preparation for its grand experiment; which was to happen at the planet-sized Darkness anomaly in place of [[Mars]]' disappearance. Once the Glykon had crossed into the anomaly, the councilors placed their hands on the Crown and focus their cognition through it. They pry open the Scorn's collective synaptic pathways and sew them into the fabric of the anomaly's memetic sphere. The first communion however was initially a failure as Calus' call was unanswered.<ref name="ENTRY 6"/> Many failed attempts to repeat the communion saw the Crown's golden flush tarnished by Egregore spores, having burrowed its way into the crown's precious metal adornments since the last communion attempt. The latest attempt, however, saw the councilors incinerated as the Glykon was pulled beyond the anomaly's event horizon before it impacted and ran adrift between dimensions.<ref name="ENTRY 8">'''Bungie (2019/02/09)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]]'', ''Lore:[[Lore:Captain's Log#ENTRY 8 - Acheron's Wall|ENTRY 8 - Acheron's Wall]]''</ref> Calus could hear the entity's thoughts calling through the Crown of Sorrow, beckoning him to the anomaly in [[Mercury|Mercury's]] absence,<ref name="Duality Memory 9">'''Bungie (2022/05/24)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Haunted]]'', ''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEu2P6kwWZY Duality | Ninth Repressed Memory]''</ref> before he himself was spirited away.<ref name="ENTRY 8"/>
