![]() "Yes, Misraakskel?" she answered, too clipped. ![]() She turned over the cracked datapad, as if to hide what had just transpired. It was worse, somehow, hearing him speak gently. His voice was gentle, but Eido flinched nonetheless as her thoughts broke apart. "Eido," Misraaks said, appearing at the threshold of the door. A pain Eido had never known-a pain she realized her father had tried to keep from her. When Eramis interrupted her Scribe's log, there had been pain in her voice. But now she knew that Eramis had listened. Eido had reached out to Eramis before, calling for Eliksni unity, and did not think she would receive a reply. She realized now how naïve that had been. ![]() What else had Eramis intercepted? All of House Light's communications? The petitions to the City for supplies, the transactions for The Ether Tank, her father's instructions to his people? Eido knew that this wasn't possible-or shouldn't be. Eramis had heard Eido recording her Scribe's logs. Now, staring at her datapad, she was even more grateful for the quiet. Privacy was a luxury in this place, and Eido took it where she could. She stood within one of the half-ruined rooms of the Eliksni Quarter. Eido took a breath, Ether hissing through her rebreather. Her shoulders slumped slightly as her eyes landed on the thin fracture across its face. Jumping to her feet, she scrambled to pick it up, inspecting hurriedly for damage. Just people: frightened and misguided.The datapad hit the tiled floor with a sharp crack as it slipped from Eido's shaking hands. I don't think this tradition will continue in the House of Light. But now that we have seen Guardians among their own people, taking orders and making awkward small talk. ![]() For grown Eliksni, it's a reminder that the Great Machine blesses life-givers and killers alike. Soon enough, they must learn that the Guardians cannot be stopped by such things. We know this is not true, of course, but it helps hatchlings to rest peacefully. Some Eliksni tell hatchlings that these wards keep Guardians from attacking us in our sleep.And now that it's right overhead, I still look to this shrine for comfort. I revered the Great Machine all my life, without ever having seen it. Most of those Houses are now extinct, and their members are scattered. It's a tradition that lasted generations. That's why shrines like these are made of many small pieces. It's one of the few things all Eliksni Houses can agree on. And in all of our exploration, we never found anything more wonderous than the Great Machine. ![]() During our Golden Age, the Eliksni civilization spanned many star systems.This would lead to an entire overhaul of the Quarter including a communal speaking area, decorated with bunting and lights and gardening troughs for farming and planting. The former mob boss would also lead a fundraising drive to help renovate the Quarter using pirate treasures taken as spoils by the Guardians. He set up a bar called The Ether Tank, where he resides. In the Season of Plunder, The Spider and his syndicate moved to the Eliksni Quarter, after disappearing from the Tangled Shore during the Season of the Lost when Mara Sov retook it. Saint-14 fights alongside Mithrax with backup from Amanda Holiday and Ikora Rey whilst in the distance watching the Guardians struggle an ominous Osiris, now known to be Savathun, escaped. The Guardians quickly intercept to try and stem the attack and save the Eliksni. The Quarter also had 9 scannable Ghost scans where players could learn more about Eliksni culture.ĭuring the final weeks of the Season of the Splicer we learn that the leader of the Future War Cult, Lakshmi-2 opens a portal to the Vex Network within the Eliksni Quarter and is immediately killed by the invading Vex. The Vanguard originally supported them with supplies such as sleeping bags and various other materials. It is their primary base of operation and home to any Eliksni including refugees who have fled their old Houses, denizens of the House of Light and currently, The Spider. The Eliksni Quarter is a shelter located in the Botza District where the House of Light have settled within the Last City. ![]()
