The Guardian's first mission in destabilizing the House of Salvation would be to sabotage a large Fallen weapons factory. Returning to Variks on Europa, he agrees to aid the Guardian in their mission, though he is somber about Eramis' death all the same. | The Guardian's first mission in destabilizing the House of Salvation would be to sabotage a large Fallen weapons factory. Returning to Variks on Europa, he agrees to aid the Guardian in their mission, though he is somber about Eramis's death all the same. Understanding that there is little time to mourn, Variks guides the Guardian back to Riis-Reborn as the House of Salvation deal with Vex incursions. Variks gives the Guardian his old security codes to access the manufacturing plant but are denied, forcing the Ghost to shut down a power plant powering the gateways. | ||
Accessing the factory, the Guardian proceeds to sabotage a number of Fallen [[Brig]]s before reaching the main hub of the factory, where they encounter a massive [[Factory Brig]]. Despite its firepower, the Guardian manages to bring down the machine and power down the factory, giving the Vanguard the opportunity to establish a foothold on Europa. Further, Zavala has the Guardian take advantage of the Vex incursions against the House of Salvation to instigate more sabotage operations against the Fallen. | |||

Hearing reports of another Vex incursion against the House of Salvation at Riis-Reborn, Zavala has Variks guide the Guardians in taking advantage of the Fallen's distraction as they will not be expecting the Guardians as they struggle against the Vex. Entering deep into Riis-Reborn, at Kell's Rising, the Guardian would the House of Salvation holding their ground against the Vex better than they expected, leading Variks to believe that someone has risen to take Eramis's place. Delving deeper into the city, the Guardian encounters [[Kridis, Dark Priestess]], a member of the Dark Kell's inner circle and who is leading the Salvation Fallen in Eramis's absence, explaining how the Fallen have been able to manage the Vex incursions. | |||
Before the Guardians could battle with Kridis, she escapes and sends her forces to deal with them. Despite their efforts, the Guardian defeats the Salvation Fallen's forces but Kridis still got away, leading them to work with Variks in locating her. Variks informs the Guardian that his spies have learned that Kridis is sending her followers to collect remnants of the Darkness in Cadmus Ridge. Finding the Dark Priestess' followers, the Guardian takes them out and takes the [[Flecks of Dark]] they had been collecting as well as aiding more Eliksni evacuating from Europa who sought refuge with the House of Light. | |||
Learning that Kridis has returned to Eramis's fortress in Riis-Reborn, the Guardian and Variks hear Kridis giving a wide-ranged broadcast proclaiming that Eramis is not dead but sleeping and the House of Salvation has the means to rouse her. Racing back through Riis-Reborn towards Eramis's command center to prevent this, the Guardian confronts the Dark Priestess and her Prime Servitor, [[Yamiks Prime]], in the presence of the Stasis statue that Eramis had become. Despite her Prime Servitor and her own Stasis Powers, the Guardian manages to slay Kridis, claiming her Splinter of Darkness in the process. Thinking that they taken out all of Eramis's lieutenants, Variks proclaims that the reign of the Kell of Darkness is over. However, he believes that despite this victory, Eramis's deeds will become myth and legendary. Her legacy would continue to inspire new champions to rise in her name, leading Variks to state that they must stay vigilant as a result. | |||
Returning to Zavala, the commander commends the Guardian for defeating Kridis but claims that despite it proving essential in defeating Eramis and her House of Salvation, the Guardians cannot use Stasis any further, believing that any compromise with the Darkness will only lead to disaster. Even after reading reports from Eris Morn on Stasis' potential, Zavala imposes a ban on the use of Stasis as official Vanguard policy, asking the Guardian to aid him in this. In contrast, the Exo Stranger wishes to further their understanding of Stasis by finding the lost personal journal of [[Clovis Bray I]], revealing herself as his granddaughter, [[Elisabeth Bray]]. | |||
