| ==Overview==
| |
| The Prison of Elders is based on the [[House of Judgment]]'s traditions for settling disputes between [[Fallen]] through trial by combat. The Archon Priest [[Aksor, Archon Priest|Aksor]] was previously a prisoner before later being retrieved by [[Taniks, the Scarred|Taniks]] and having his soul restored by the [[House of Winter]] on [[Venus]]. The Prison of Elders is also known to contain members of the [[House of Wolves]] that were captured during the [[Reef Wars]], <ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny,, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies#Ghost Fragment: The Queen|Ghost Fragment: The Queen]]''</ref> though it also contains [[Hive]], [[Vex]] and [[Cabal]] inmates who have attacked the Reef. These prisoners are considered "trophies" by the Reef, kept cryogenically frozen for the [[Mara Sov|Queen]]'s benefit, though since [[Skolas, Kell of Kells|Skolas]]'s rebellion, the Queen now wants the prison cleared out, and has recruited the [[Guardian]]s to do it.<ref>'''Bungie (2015-5-19)''', ''Destiny: House of Wolves, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Activities#Prison of Elders|Prison of Elders]]''</ref>

| A year after the [[Red War]], the undead Fallen horde known as the [[Scorn]] orchestrated an incredibly massive breakout from the prison following a lack of order after Mara Sov's and Variks's disappearances. [[Uldren Sov]] was behind the escape, and executed [[Cayde-6]] with his own [[Ace of Spades|weapon]] after he attempted to stop the breakout alongside the [[The Guardian|Guardian]]. Numerous prisoners not strictly affiliated with the Scorn, collectively referred to as the [[The Wanted|Wanted]], also escaped the prison, going on to roam [[Patrol]] zones and roost in [[Lost Sector]]s. The Prison of Elders is also the location of the [[Strike]] [[Warden of Nothing]].
| |
| | |
| Later, after the [[The Witness|Witness]] was defeated by the [[The Coalition|Coalition]], its death manifested paracausal artifact called [[Echo (object)|Echoes]], one of them falling under the possession of [[Fikrul, the Fanatic|Fikrul]]. The Echo Fikrul acquired was able to turn living Eliksni into [[Revenant Scorn]]. The derelict prison became overran with Revenant Scorn, [[Shadow Legion]], [[Lucent Brood]], and [[The Dread|Dread]] forces as Fikrul sought to use the Echo's power to turn Skolas into a Scorn. They arrive too late stop Fikrul and the duo escape.

| A single session consists of 5 rounds of 3 waves each, except for Skolas's Revenge which features 6 rounds. The final round of a session is a boss battle. Players spawn in the Airlock, a small central room that connects to the Prison's four chambers, each home to one of the four enemy races. As introduced in Forsaken, each one connected to a different prison block that housed each different race. A-Block holds Fallen, B-Block holds Vex, C-Block holds Cabal, and D-Block holds Hive. Once a round begins, a modifier is activated and players are directed to one of the chambers. After completing a round, players must return to the Airlock to begin the next round. | | A single session consists of 5 rounds of 3 waves each, except for Skolas's Revenge which features 6 rounds.

| After completing the boss round of a Prison of Elders challenge mission, a gate in the Airlock's floor opens and allows players to descend into a treasure room. The room contains three chests that can only be opened once per session: two small chests that may drop rare items, and one large chest that requires a [[Treasure Key]] to open and may drop Reef-themed gear as well as exotic items. Other items that can drop from the chests include [[Strange Coin]]s and [[Mote of Light|Motes of Light]]. Players with multiple Treasure Keys may repeat a Prison of Elders session to refresh the large chest so that the Keys can be used; the large chest can be opened multiple times per week, the only limit is the number of Treasure Keys in the player's possession. As of the April Update, Prison of Elders now has two extra game modes: Level 41, which has a chance of hosting [[Taken]] and Level 42, which is known as [[Challenge of the Elders]]. | | After completing the boss round of a Prison of Elders challenge mission, a gate in the Airlock's floor opens and allows players to descend into a treasure room.

| ==Prison layout==
| |
| The Prison of Elders is a massive complex in total, with at least four main prison blocks and a minimum of fifty-four floors. A-Block and B-Block are known to house Fallen denoted as Scar and Rats respectively, C-Block contains a significant number of Cabal, and D-Block contains Hive. It is unknown what blocks the Taken and Vex are placed in, as they have not been shown to be associated with any particular one, though it is known that the Prison keeps a significant quantity of them. It could be that these blocks are organised in accordance to the security required to contain certain inmates, which would explain why the Fallen remnants of the [[House of Scar]] are placed in a different block from their unaffiliated rat counterparts.
| |
| | |
| The Combat Arena where the gamemode from Destiny 1 takes place is located in the upper levels of the prison, directly above the Queen's treasure room and the Warden's command center farther below. Seeing as it has access to enemies from every block, this is likely located near the center of the complex. A large section of the Prison is built in a large cylindrical spire, with prisoners held on the exterior walls and control stations suspended in the middle, connected by large catwalks. It is possible that there are actually two or more of these cylindrical areas, as the area shown in [[Last Call]] and the climax of the [[Warden of Nothing]] strike both take place in structures of similar design, though with different construction. The former has no roof and is open to the sky, and contained the Prison's security hub before Cayde-6 dislodged and destroyed it, while the latter has a closed roof and contains the Warden's command center. It is also possible that these two areas are actually stacked on top of each other, in which case the Prison would possess over a hundred decks. Alternatively, as shown in the [[Warden of Nothing|aforementioned strike]], guardians travel through a vacuum tube from one section of the prison, past a cylindrical area, and into the Fallen side of the combat arena, implying that the Prison could be laid out in clusters of these cylindrical chambers, perhaps being the Blocks themselves.
| |
| | |
| The Prison holds its criminals in one of two different ways: traditional barred cells and cryogenic pods. Standard enemies seem to be relegated to the simpler cells while the more dangerous members are frozen and stored below. Some or all of these cryo-pods are fitted with propulsion mechanisms similar to an escape pod, though the means for this is unknown. It could be that this is a more effective way to transport these high-level targets across long distances without risking the safety of a traditional crew, such as how [[Skolas]] was sent to [[The Nine]]. Many of these pods rained down on the [[Tangled Shore]] during the [[Hunt for the Scorn]]. Other pods were sent farther and contributed to the foes scattered across the system that [[The Spider]] placed Wanted bounties on. For transportation withing the Prison, elevators, vacuum tubes, and train-like prison transports are the main means of getting from place to place. The transports are automated and have room for six prisoners in cryo-pods, three on either side. When the Warden took control of the prison, these transports ran amok, smashing at high speed into anyone foolish enough to get in the way of their tracks. It is likely these transports are only for high-level threats due to their small passenger size, as the vacuum tubes like those used to transport detainees up to the Combat Arena have a much higher capacity. Elevators are present for use by Prison staff and feature four crash seats spaced apart at medium intervals, as the immense height of the Prison would be deadly if the elevator were to fail. The main airlocks to the outside are located on Deck Zero, though there are also access points in lower decks used to covertly transport prisoners. [[Uldren Sov]] was delivered through one of these.
| |
| | |
| In case of a Prison riot, turrets were installed in the catwalks that could be controlled remotely from the Security Hub.
