{{Quote|The floodgates are open. The Darkness is here. I wield it now with the intent to stop our enemies where the Light cannot. Your resilience within the [[The Lunar Pyramid|Pyramid]] proves you're capable of wielding it too. Before us lies what we call a "[[Ziggurat]]." Its purpose is temptation. To begin your training, you must give in. Here, take [[Splinter of Darkness|this]]. Please understand. The line between Light and Dark is so very thin. Let's cross it together.|The Exo Stranger}}
{{Quote|Chains! For centuries we have been bound by them. Servants to the so-called "Great" Machine. We even built idols in its image. We have become pawns to our own devices. No. Longer. Today... we begin breaking free from our chains. This power is a gift. One of which I will share with all of you in time. One by one, we will rise again. This is our future! Our enemies stand no chance against this power. The Great Machine will finally know our pain!|Eramis, Kell of Darkness.}}


The '''War of Salvation''' was a conflict between the [[Vanguard]] and [[Human]]-aligned [[Eliksni]] houses against the Fallen empire [[House of Salvation]]. Each side began using the [[Darkness]] during the war to gain an advantage over their opposition.

Variks became aware that he was close to being cornered by Eramis and her House, leaving him with little room for maneuver. Managing to find a relay station at [[Charon's Crossing]], Variks grew desperate enough to send out a distress signal to the Guardians, wishing for their aid in combating the House of Salvation and Eramis. However, unknown to Variks, the [[Exo Stranger]] would steal the Splinter he had brought with him but before he could do anything, Eramis would catch up and corner him as he finished his message. Variks would then find himself tortured by an enraged Eramis who used Stasis to encase half of his body. Though Variks tried to reason with Eramis, the Dark Kell would not listen, denouncing the scribe a traitor and a thief. Eramis demanded the return of the Splinter he had stolen but Variks merely replied that it was safe from her.

The Guardian, who had been surveying the Pyramid on Europa after being instructed by a Voice in the Darkness inside [[The Ionian Pyramid]] before Io's disappearance, would hear Variks' distress signal and work their way to him, encountering the House of Salvation Fallen for the first time. As the Guardian neared, Variks made one last plea to his old friend but once again, Eramis ignored him, claiming that he can cling to the Great Machine, while the Fallen, with the power of Stasis, will make their own fate. Before leaving, Eramis ordered her troops to make an example of him. The Guardian arrived just in time before the Salvation Fallen could execute Variks, freeing him from his Stasis confinement. However, Eramis ordered her forces to surround the station, not wanting Variks to leave alive. Still demanding answers from Variks, the scribe tells them that once they have dealt with the incoming forces, he will tell them everything.

The Guardian succeeded in eliminating the Salvation forces, leaving Variks grateful, but the Guardian reminds him that they still want answers. Acknowledging this and aware that they no longer trust him, Variks asks the Guardian to set aside their distrust for him, telling them of the threat that Eramis poses and of her intent on building an army of Fallen powered by the Darkness. If she succeeds, then not even the Guardians will be able to stop her.
