{{Quote|But that night—because it was you—I knew then and there that I never wanted to be without you.|Eriana-3, on her first meeting with Wei Ning}} | |||
At the [[Tower]] saloon, Eriana was introduced to [[Wei Ning]] by [[Pahanin]], who soon began questioning Eriana extensively about [[Stormtrance]]s. Although she normally would have been annoyed by such questions, Eriana quickly became enamored with Wei Ning and knew instantly that she never wanted to be without her.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/9/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Eriana's Vengeance]]''</ref> | |||

Eriana and Wei Ning were among the thousands of [[Guardian]]s who launched an assault against the [[Hive]] forces entrenched on the [[Moon]]. During the battle, Eriana and several other Guardians took a Hive [[Wizard]] prisoner, torturing it with [[Light]]. She learned of the name, [[Crota, Son of Oryx|Crota]], and saw through the Wizard's mind as the Hive [[Prince]] killed Wei Ning. She sought information on how to kill Crota from the Wizard, and was telepathically shown images of [[Crota's realm]] and the [[Oversoul]], but another Guardian informed her that Crota was operating on the [[Mare Imbrium]] front, carving his way through the Guardians. As Eriana pressed for the means to reach Crota's realm and kill him, the Wizard mocked her, showing how it had tortured an [[Awoken]] man in the exact same way Eriana was interrogating it, claiming they were the same, before dying. Eriana ordered the Wizard's body be incinerated and their [[Sparrow]]s be summoned so they could join the battle, hoping that their Light would be enough to turn the tide. However, the Guardians soon abandoned the battle and fled back to Earth, with the failed campaign becoming known as "[[the Great Disaster]]".<ref>'''Bungie ( | Eriana and Wei Ning were among the thousands of [[Guardian]]s who launched an assault against the [[Hive]] forces entrenched on the [[Moon]].

After the Disaster, Eriana was consumed by vengeance for Wei Ning and so devoted herself to Crota's destruction.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/12/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Dark Below]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Exalted_Hive#Blades_of_Crota|Blades of Crota]]''</ref> She worked together with the Hunter [[Eris Morn]] in order to solve Crota's apparent immortality. Without a ready solution, they sought out knowledge from forbidden Hive arcana, in the form of the exiled Guardian [[Toland, the Shattered]]. Toland described the method in which they could defeat their foe by entering the [[Ascendant Realm]] and slaying the Hive Prince in his throne world. Although Eriana was disturbed by the mad Warlock's obsession with learning Hive secrets and their secret song about death, she and Eris recruited him to join their mission. She also asked three other Guardians, [[Omar Agah]], [[Sai Mota]], and [[Vell Tarlowe]], to aid them their quest to defeat Crota. She recorded a message explaining their goal to the rest of the Vanguard should they fail.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/12/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Dark Below]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Activities/Raids#Crota.27s_End|Crota's End]]''</ref> | After the Disaster, Eriana was consumed by the desire to gain vengeance for Wei Ning and so devoted herself to Crota's destruction.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/12/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Dark Below]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Exalted_Hive#Blades_of_Crota|Blades of Crota]]''</ref> She worked together with the Hunter [[Eris Morn]] in order to solve Crota's apparent immortality.

In her last moments, Eriana apologized to Wei for her foolishness, getting her friends killed in the name of revenge, then fought the Hive with the last of her Light until she fell.<ref>'''Bungie (2015-1-23)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Places#The Hellmouth 2|The Hellmouth 2]]''</ref> | In her last moments, Eriana apologized to Wei for her foolishness, getting her friends killed in the name of revenge, then fought the Hive with the last of her Light until she fell.<ref>'''Bungie (2015-1-23)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Places#The Hellmouth 2|The Hellmouth 2]]''</ref> | ||
