The ebook inside The Witch Queen Collector’s Edition would not hit fairly as arduous because the journal included within the Beyond Light CE (which particulars how Clovis Bray was virtually mind-controlled by the Vex), however it does function a bunch of fascinating tidbits about Ikora Rey, the Darkness, and the Hidden. It additionally provides us one thing we have been ready for: phrase from Fenchurch.The lore ebook in The Witch Queen CE units the stage for the story of the enlargement, although one fascinating entry particularly suits properly in with the story we have seen unfold within the Season of the Lost.

Mara has been round, although, even when we did not know the total particulars of her exploits. In truth, the CE lore ebook tells us that within the interval between Forsaken and the Shadowkeep enlargement, she was hanging out with Eris Morn.

Now Playing: Destiny 2 Exorcism Mission Gameplay | Season of the Lost Ending
Within the Witch Queen CE lore ebook is a report from Fenchurch Eververse, who most gamers will know from a voice line delivered by Tower cosmetics service provider Tess Eververse: “No word from Fenchurch today. He must have found something interesting.” Canonically, Fenchurch is the man who finds all of the bizarre artifacts Tess sells within the Eververse Store, however he additionally has a narrative position with the Vanguard, serving as one of many Hidden, Ikora’s secret group of Guardian spies. The entry within the Witch Queen CE is certainly one of his studies to Ikora, which really utterly explains one other of his earlier reports–one that was among the many spookiest latest lore entries within the recreation.That lore entry is named “Fragment,” and it appeared means again throughout the Season of the Drifter in 2019. In it, Fenchurch submits a report a couple of day when he was patrolling on the moon with another Guardians, earlier than he abruptly was overwhelmed by a splitting headache. He went to lie down, however as a substitute immediately fell asleep and had an odd dream. The lore entry mentions particular folks within the dream, however Fenchurch makes use of Hidden codes that obscured who the principle individuals are. One is certainly Eris, however the other–VIP #0704–was unknown till now.In his dream, Fenchurch noticed Eris and tried to catch as much as her in a crowd, however could not. He wakened a number of moments later to discover a Hive thrall standing there, him and never shifting. Fenchurch blasted the thrall and located a bizarre piece of black materials, the fragment the entry is known as for, protruding of its chest. Fenchurch’s Ghost, Neville, tried to scan the fragment however had a tough time doing so. Eventually, Fenchurch touched it together with his hand and had a sudden imaginative and prescient.The imaginative and prescient confirmed Eris and VIP #0704 collectively in a discipline of black particles, apparently that of a destroyed ship, with #0704 dressing an enormous gash in Eris’ thigh. Before the imaginative and prescient ended, Eris turned and stated one thing to Fenchurch in Russian, which roughly interprets to “pathetic” in English. (We by no means do discover out what this Russian half is all about.)Eris was lacking for a very long time between The Taken King enlargement and her return in Shadowkeep.The CE lore entry has Fenchurch providing a brand new report on the imaginative and prescient, the bizarre thrall, and the black merchandise he discovered caught in its chest, after speaking to Eris and convincing her to inform him what the hell was happening. Eris explains that Fenchurch’s imaginative and prescient was an occasion that really occurred, and that she despatched the thrall to discover a Guardian with a view to make a report in case she and VIP #0704 died doing no matter they had been doing.There’s an entire lot extra to the scenario we be taught from the brand new report, although. First and foremost, we will choose up that VIP #0704 is, the truth is, Mara Sov.Fenchurch studies what Eris tells him: Between the Forsaken enlargement and the Shadowkeep enlargement, Mara consulted VIP #0101 (who we quickly work out is Elsie Bray, the Exo Stranger) in regards to the approaching Pyramid ships. (As an apart, assigning #0101 to Elsie needs to be a Terminator joke: T-101 was the designation for Arnold Schwarzennegger’s killer robotic in a film about time-traveling robots, and Elsie is a time-traveling robotic.) We noticed throughout Forsaken that Mara was conscious of the Darkness’ Black Fleet earlier than nearly anyone else–she’s been planning to cope with it because the unique Destiny.Using a mix of Elsie’s future tech from different timelines and a while traveler insights, in addition to the Warmind synthetic intelligence Rasputin and the AI Failsafe from the Exodus Black, Mara was capable of pinpoint one of many Pyramid ships inside the photo voltaic system lengthy earlier than the remainder of the ships confirmed up throughout the Season of Arrivals, and earlier than the one on the moon was found in Shadowkeep. This one was in orbit round a dwarf planet known as 136199 Eris, a physique that exists within the photo voltaic system (in the actual world in addition to the sport) however which is fairly distant. Together, Mara and Eris made for 136199 Eris to see what the deal was with the Pyramid ship.The Pyramid ship on the moon was there earlier than the remainder of the Black Fleet arrived within the Season of Arrivals, and apparently it wasn’t the one one.What occurred subsequent is not tremendous clear. Apparently, after discovering the ship, the pair moved nearer to research. Fenchurch would not know precisely what occurred after that. Apparently, Mara left the ship to get nearer to the Pyramid, after which even deserted her spacesuit–which sounds similar to the origin story for Mara described within the lore ebook Marasenna. Fenchurch is not positive, however he believes Mara both interacted with and even entered the Pyramid ship; he additionally would not know if Mara was capable of have an effect on the Pyramid in any respect, or if the particles discipline he noticed in his imaginative and prescient was really the results of Mara destroying the Pyramid ship. What he does know, nevertheless, is that no matter occurred precipitated Mara to die.Death is not the tip for Mara, nevertheless. Like Hive gods Savathun, Oryx, and Xivu Arath, Mara has managed to make use of the ability of the Dreaming City and her Techeun witches to create a “throne world” on the Ascendant Plane–in truth, if you happen to’ve ventured into the Shattered Throne dungeon within the Dreaming City, you’ve got seen it. An individual or entity with a throne world may be killed within the materials world, however they survive within the Ascendant Plane, which primarily renders them immortal. That’s why, throughout the Taken King enlargement, Guardians needed to kill Oryx in his throne world within the King’s Fall raid–if they did not, Oryx would not keep lifeless.The throne world is how Mara survived her obvious dying throughout The Taken King, when the Awoken fleet attacked and disabled Oryx’s Dreadnaught. And she survived her dying right here, too, by zapping again to her throne world. At this level, although, Savathun and her daughter, Dul Incaru, had taken up residence there, as we see within the Shattered Throne dungeon. Eris used her bizarre Hive powers to drag Mara again from the throne world, however to do this, the 2 of them needed to combat Dul Incaru and Savathun.Fenchurch says that Eris and Mara made it by that battle and wound up on the floor of 136199 Eris. However, the combat was a tough one, and Eris was injured–when Fenchurch noticed Mara treating Eris’ wound amid the particles on a frozen planet, that is why. We nonetheless do not know what all that particles really is, although.Mara sacrificed herself towards Oryx throughout the Battle of Saturn, however due to her throne world, she will’t die.Before this, the connection between Mara and Eris, who labored for the Awoken queen for years, was a strained one, presumably due to the trauma Mara suffered throughout the battle with Oryx in The Taken King and her dying afterward. Mara sacrificed rather a lot for Eris’ plan to take down Oryx, together with an enormous variety of the Awoken folks, and ultimately, her brother, Uldren Sov. But after the combat with Dul Incaru and Savathun, and confronted with the prospect they could die, Mara and Eris managed to reconcile. That level is necessary for a pair causes: First, Mara and Eris are each an enormous a part of the story of The Witch Queen; and second–according to Elsie Bray at the hours of darkness timeline she seeks to prevent–Eris is finally corrupted by the Darkness and turns into an even bigger menace than even Savathun. The Dark Future lore ebook says that in that timeline, Eris finally helps the Darkness defeat the Traveler and the Light, and is even liable for Mara’s dying.Back on the dwarf planet, Eris was frightened she won’t survive the ordeal; although she’s a former Guardian, she has no Ghost, and is subsequently mortal. Fenchurch says that Eris used some Hive magic to zap a report onto a bit of the black metallic within the particles discipline after which transported it to the moon, together with the compulsion for a “lesser Hive” to deliver that report back to the closest Guardian, which is how the thrall got here to Fenchurch and the explanation he noticed the imaginative and prescient.The report ends with Fenchurch pissed off that Eris’ rationalization of the imaginative and prescient he noticed leaves much more questions, particularly about what Mara did to the Pyramid ship in orbit round 136199 Eris. Was she capable of destroy it, and if that’s the case, how? Can she do it once more, and if not, why not?In her response, Ikora notes that, like Savathun, Mara is shifting items round a chessboard and he or she retains secrets and techniques for a larger objective. She additionally means that Mara may be attempting to return to phrases with the truth that she will not be capable to management occasions as a lot as she desires.Mara squared off with Savathun and was overwhelmed within the Season of the Lost, however the two queens are nonetheless locked in a battle of wits.”I believe Mara has begun to consider that she may not be the prime executor of her own endgame,” Ikora writes to Fenchurch. “She may be just one component of the bomb–the payload or timing device. At the end of her own journey, she is necessary but not sufficient. She can no longer fight alone.”It appears Mara has an enormous position within the story to return, as we noticed arrange in Forsaken and currently within the Season of the Lost. Destiny 2’s story currently has been pushing the concept that the way in which to defeat the specter of the Darkness is thru alliances, and this lore entry provides a way that we’ll have to proceed to strengthen our relationship with Mara Sov. It additionally hints at extra of what Mara might need up her sleeve–she’s seen an entire lot of issues we do not know about, and I’ve a sense we’ll see her tackle the Darkness immediately earlier than too lengthy.
