"We have seen enough. The children of Sol cry out for salvation. You promised them life, but deliver only death. As you have for so many before. Enough. Enough death. Enough life. You have no pieces left to place. The game is over. Do not be afraid. Your pale heart holds the key. This time... there is no escape."

— The Witness, announcing its arrival to the Traveler upon Savathûn's defeat.

The Lucent War, also known as Operation Elbrus, was a massive conflict that took place shortly after the exorcism of Savathûn’s worm. After the reappearance of Mars and the rise of the Light-based Lucent Brood, the Vanguard, along with their Imperial Cabal allies and with the assistance of Mara Sov of The Reef, would begin assaulting and conducting operations against Savathûn’s newly formed brood. During this conflict, Scorn and Taken forces, first led by Rhulk, and then the Witness, would assault Lucent and Guardian forces, turning the war in the High Coven into a three-front war.
