Emperor Calus: Difference between revisions

At one point, Calus calls the Guardians via [[Benedict 99-40]] and gives them the Chalice of Opulence, opening up the [[Menagerie]] for their pleasure and creating [[The Tribute Hall]] in honor of their deeds.  

Around the same time, Calus breeds [[Gahlran]] in order to wear the [[Crown of Sorrow]]. This plan goes awry as Gahlran is corrupted by the Crown's powers and goes insane, much to the emperor's chagrin - though it was ultimately fortunate that he chose another to bear its power, as the Crown was in reality an attempt by [[Savathûn, the Witch-Queen]] to put him under her control. Nonetheless, with Gahlran under the control of the Witch-Queen, the mad Shadow brings a large infestation of Hive within the treasure vaults of Calus's Leviathan. Wanting his vessel cleansed of this infestation, Calus calls upon his Guardian allies once again, offering more riches and rewards upon their success. After a perilous struggle against the Sorrow-bearer and the Hive's wicked rituals, the Guardians succeeded in putting Gahlran down and cleansing the Crown of Sorrow, thereby saving the Leviathan the threat of a Hive incursion.

Pleased with their success, Calus rewards the Guardians as promised but also officially makes them his Shadows of Earth. Several of the Guardians would accept Calus' offer and pledge themselves up as Shadows, much to the suspicions of [[Aunor Mahal]] of the [[Praxic Order]]. Despite the mistrust in the Cabal Emperor though, [[Ikora Rey]] and [[Zavala]] agreed to leave Calus alone citing his deterrence with the [[Red Legion]], though under continued [[Vanguard]] surveillance.
