The Long Drift is a period within Eliksni history where they journeyed through the vast expanses of space from their homeworld Riis and to the Solar System.[1]
History
The Eliksni were a peaceful race of gardeners once graced by the Traveler, however this changed with the arrival of the Darkness which destroyed their society in an event called the Whirlwind. They suffered further casualties when Oryx, the Taken King challenged the House of Stone and its Kell, Chelchis, Kell of Stone.
They were forced to leave their homeworld after the noble Kells of the various Houses ordered a mass exodus and searched for salvation by following the Traveler across space. The Kells instructed their respective Prime Servitors to calculate star flight which relayed the information to Pilot Servitors to pilot their Ketches.
This period lasted for centuries and the Eliksni raised many generations of younglings during space flight. This new generation of Eliksni were deemed unlucky as they never witnessed the glory of Riis and were raised on stories and war songs that celebrated their lost culture.[2] Their Ketches also became sacred as it fostered many clans and homes to families. They carried remnants of their dying culture such as ceremonial washing bowls and children’s musical instruments and ceramic effigies of Servitors.[3]
