Editing Te'Qal

'''Te'Qal''' was the last Warden of the [[Seht]] Armada, the primary military fleet of the [[Qugu]] civilization.

==Biography==
Prior to accepting their role as Warden, Te'Qal experienced a nectar-induced vision of an impending event which they interpreted to mean the end of their people, and resolved that they would defend their people against this threat as Warden.

===War with the Hive===
Two years after becoming Warden, Te'Qal led a fleet to investigate the Qugu system of Se'Un, which had gone silent. Upon arriving in Se'Un, the fleet encountered a massive void where the system had previously been, which revealed itself to be a portal that disgorged a fleet of Hive ships. Although the Qugu managed to destroy some of the invaders, they were forced to retreat back to Seht for reinforcements.

The Hive proceeded to ravage every world in the Qugu's home system of Se'Tar, eventually converging on Seht itself. Te'Qal led the remaining Qugu forces in defense of their homeworld, fending off the Hive to buy time for the Qugu's ark-ships as they lifted soil from Seht's sacred grove lands in preparation for colonizing a new system far from the danger. During the battle, a flagship belonging to [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen|Savathûn]] arrived and took position over Seht's Mountain, a site of holy significance to the Qugu, and detonated a blast of soulfire that decimated the surrounding Hive and Qugu vessels and provoked a response in the Mountain below. The Mountain revealed itself to be a [[Pyramid]], and rose from its resting place on the surface of Seht to meet the Hive fleet. Outmatched, Te'Qal ordered their forces to retreat to the last safe system available to the Qugu, Se'Otan, and leave Seht to the Hive.

As Te'Qal led their fleet to the jump gate leading to Se'Otan, they used their ship's nectar-dispensing faculty to induce a vision of their mentor Te'Dura, which bolstered their resolve to achieve victory for their people. 

After they arrived at the gate to Se'Otan, Te'Qal watched the ark-ships jump through, noticing that the gate had been inscribed with green-glowing runes that flared with each jump; sure enough, upon passing through the gate, Te'Qal discovered that it had been reconfigured to lead into the [[Ascendant Realm]], where Savathûn's Hive and the Pyramid were waiting for them. As Te'Qal engaged the Hive, Oryx's flagship arrived on the scene, launching an assault on Savathûn's flagship. Te'Qal took advantage of the distraction to rally their remaining fleet in a final stand against the Pyramid, drawing upon the fury and grief of their ancestors to manifest a massive Resonant blast which impaled the Pyramid. As the Pyramid exploded in a wave of Resonance that annihilated the Hive and Qugu, Te'Qal heard the voice of the Witness, who preserved Te'Qal's mind as a memory within the Darkness.

===Echo of Command===
Untold eons later, the Witness was destroyed by the Coalition within the Pale Heart of the Traveler, releasing its Darkness to merge with the Traveler's Light. As a result of this, several of the Witness' Darkness-preserved memories of various species it and its followers had conquered were rendered into physical form by the Light, creating paracausal artifacts known as Echoes which escaped the Pale Heart and landed throughout the Sol System. One of these, the [[Echo of Command]], contained the mind and memories of Te'Qal, whose skills in leadership imbued the Echo with the ability to command and compel other beings.
