Saladin Forge: Difference between revisions

The Guardian managed to located Osiris in the Reef but found to their horror that the Osiris that had aided the Vanguard in the Cabal armistice and in the Endless Night was actually Savathûn herself, having taken the warlock's form not long after he lost his Light against the [[High Celebrant of Xivu Arath]]. Despite this, the Guardian agrees to an alliance with Mara Sov and the Awoken not only for Osiris' return after exorcising her worm but also to prevent the Dreaming City from being claimed by Xivu Arath and her horde.

Not long after the conflict in the Reef, Mars would mysteriously return, leading Ikora to have her Hidden conduct an investigation on the planet's condition as it appeared to be afflicted by some temporal distortion. Worse however, they find that Savathûn revealed herself and to the Guardian's horror, the Witch Queen gained control over the Light along with her forces, the [[Lucent Brood]], even having their own Ghosts. The Guardians search extensively on how Savathûn stole the Light but after managing to delve into the Witch Queen's memories, they learn not only of her plan to seal away the Traveler within her Throne World and of an entity called [[The Witness]] that commands the Black Fleet but that Savathûn never stole the Light. She died sometime after escaping the Reef and, before the Traveler, was granted the Light like a Guardian would be, becoming the first Hive to wield the Light.

The Guardian brings this awful truth to the Vanguard and during the meeting, Saladin, along with nearly everyone else, is left speechless. Nonetheless, Saladin appeared to agree with Ikora's declaration that regardless of the Traveler's reasons, if Savathûn were to succeed in her plan, then the Last City will be defenseless against the Witness' return. Ultimately, the Guardian succeeded in thwarting the Witch Queen's plan and killed her but her Ghost, [[Immaru]], managed to escape. However, though Savathûn had been defeated, her Lucent Brood remained a threat.
