Ignovun, Chosen of Caiatl: Difference between revisions

Before becoming Caiatl's Champion, Ignovun was a part of the surviving exodus from [[Torobatl]] and served as the leader of her [[Imperial Cabal]] fleet.<ref>https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/mantle-of-battle-harmony?highlight=vargessus</ref> He is heralded as Caiatl's greatest warrior and would be selected by the Cabal [[Cabal Emperor|Empress]] as her Champion to represent her to fight in a final [[Rite of Proving]] deep inside the [[Halphas Electus]] to determine the victor in a binding agreement between the Cabal Empire and the [[Vanguard]] of [[The Last City]].<ref>[[Lore:From the Front#VII._The_Imperial_Throne]]</ref>

A grand ceremony would be held inside the Halphas Electus where every Legionnaire inside the tank had come to salute him for his promotion and annoiting. Ignovun saw it as the appointment of his lifetime as he was given his weapon and its ammo, silver armor that shone in the light, and his helm crafted by the Psions that contained their "very will" that would allow him harness over Solar Psionic abilities. He would be told throughout the course of the ceremony his expectations and what he was fighting for - the control of Nessus, vassalship of the Vanguard, and glorious honor of the Cabal.

Yet Ignovun upon the ceremony's end, when he was left alone in the arena, felt doubt. He thought back to the [[Dominus]] of recent past and how [[Dominus Ghaul|he]] had reasoned the [[Light]] like any weapon upon an opponent could be [[Red War|disarmed]]. Ignovun thought him wrong, believing it was from not [[Guardians]] instead drew their power. However, it was also then he mused on [[Ixel, the Far-Reaching]]'s ravings and came to some considerations he had not before. He realises the Vanguard must have mortality brought to them if the Cabal are to triumph over them.<ref>[[Threaded Needle]]</ref>

Ignovun accepts his thinking will not save him, but reaffirms that if the [[Guardians|"Smallmen"]] can face death, he can as well. He would confront the Guardians seven weeks later after the failed treaty. Humanity's [[The Guardian|Champion]] would storm the [[Imperial Land Tank]], facing a [[Valus Ozysas|Valus]], countless [[Val]]'s, [[Halphas Honorguard|Honorguard]], [[Goliath Tank|Tanks]] and soldiers until reaching the arena where the two would fight in ceremonial combat with Ignovun, Chosen of Caiatl and the Cabal, falling after a glorious confrontation and thus setting the Vanguard as the victors in the Rite.<ref name="PG">'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Proving Ground]]''</ref>
