| | '''Thorn''' is an exotic [[hand cannon]] and one of the [[Weapons of Sorrow]]. It is most likely named after the thorn-like spikes on it. The weapon is sleek, dark black, with many spikes or "thorns" adorning the sides, facing the front of the weapon. |
|
| |
|
| '''Thorn''' is an [[Exotic]] {{icon|Kinetic}} [[Hand Cannon]] and one of the [[Weapons of Sorrow]]. It was first able to be acquired via the Exotic [[bounty]], "[[A Light in the Dark (Year 1)|A Light in the Dark]]". Thorn returned to ''[[Destiny 2]]'' during ''[[Season of the Drifter]]'' and was acquired through a hidden [[Quest]], “[[Independent Study]]”. As of ''[[Beyond Light]]'' it is only acquirable through the [[Monument To Lost Lights]].
| | Thorn is acquired via the exotic [[bounty]], [[A Light in the Dark]]. |
|
| |
|
| ==Description==
| | Thorn was once called Rose, and belonged to the [[Guardian]] [[Dredgen Yor]]. Once a noble hero, Yor eventually fell to [[Darkness]], and rebuilt Thorn using the dark sorcery he learned from the [[Hive]].<ref>Bungie (2014-9-9), Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Inventory#Thorn|Thorn]]</ref> Ever since, it has been hungry for the Light of other Guardians. Whether before or after it was built, Thorn became bound to [[Xyor, the Unwed]]; killing her removes the link and enables Guardians to safely use Thorn without risk of corruption.<ref>Bungie (2014-9-9), Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard</ref> |
| The weapon is sleek and dark black in coloration, with many spikes or "thorns" adorning the sides angled toward the front of the weapon. The projectiles shot from it also resemble giant daggers or "thorns".
| |
|
| |
|
| ==History==
| | '''Thorn''' will appear in ''[[Rise of Iron]]''. |
| ''Also see: [[Dredgen Yor]]'' | |
|
| |
|
| Thorn was once a hand cannon called [[Rose]], which belonged to the [[Guardian]] [[Rezyl Azzir]]. Once a noble hero, Rezyl became corrupted by Hive magic after facing the [[Hive]] [[Wizard]] [[Xyor, the Unwed|Xyor, the Blessed]] and her [[Knight]] betrothed at the [[Hellmouth]].<ref name="Legends and Mysteries: Rezyl Azzir">'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies/Legends & Mysteries#Legends and Mysteries: Rezyl Azzir|Legends and Mysteries: Rezyl Azzir]]''</ref>
| | ==Gameplay== |
|
| |
|
| After spending days locked in battle with the Hive, the [[Titan (class)|Titan]] took down the Knight using Rose and successfully escaped the Hellmouth. He would then graft the fragments of chitinous bone he collected from the slain hive onto his Hand Cannon as a trophy, not knowing that Xyor's whispers would echo from them, corrupting Rezyl's mind and Rose itself, which became reborn as a Weapon of Sorrow known as Thorn.<ref name="The Triumphant Fall">'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies/Legends & Mysteries#Legends and Mysteries: Rezyl Azzir - The Triumphant Fall|Legends and Mysteries: Rezyl Azzir - The Triumphant Fall]]''</ref>
| | Thorn's special ability is called "Mark of the Devourer", which allows rounds to pierce the target and cause lingering damage over time, <ref>[http://db.destinytracker.com/inventory/item/3164616404 '''DestinyDB''' : ''Thorn'']</ref> which, in PvP, could potentially prevent a fleeing guardian's shield from regenerating quickly enough for a kill-shot to be delivered. |
|
| |
|
| Rezyl eventually gave into the bones' whispers, adopting the new moniker [[Dredgen Yor]] after looking to the [[Hive]] to try finding more ways to defeat the [[Darkness]]. His Hand Cannon also became ravenous for the [[Light]], causing Yor to begin wantonly murdering countless Guardians and their Ghosts to satiate his weapon's hunger.<ref name="grimoire">'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]] - [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Inventory/Primary_Weapons#Thorn|Thorn]]''</ref>
| | ==Trivia== |
|
| |
|
| Sometime later, an unnamed [[The Guardian|Guardian]] would acquire a Weapon bounty from [[Xander 99-40]], revealing that a then-unknown Weapon of Sorrow was discovered recently at the [[The Summoning Pits (location)|Summonings Pits]] of the [[Hellmouth]]. Recovering a depleted Thorn during one of the many rituals involving [[Phogoth, the Untamed|Phogoth]], the Guardian fed it power with kills from the Hive and in the [[Crucible]]. Doing so recklessly, however, whispers of [[Darkness]] from the corrupted hand cannon plagued its bearer for more death. Seeking out the [[Speaker]] for guidance, they managed to stave off its blight from spreading with an infusion of [[Light]] yet the corruption lingered. To sever it, the Guardian killed Xyor in another Strike at the Summoning Pits and freed their Thorn of its bond to the Hive permanently.<ref> '''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]] - [[A Light in the Dark (Year 1)|A Light in the Dark]]''</ref>
| |
|
| |
| Sometime after the defeat of Dredgen Yor by [[Shin Malphur]], "cleansed" replicas of Thorn were created in secret by the [[Shadows of Yor]], a group of Guardians who idolized the fallen Guardian. Their activity raised enough concern for [[Shin Malphur]], Yor's killer, to take up arms against the Shadows. A year after the Red War, a Shadow of Yor known as [[Callum Sol]] was found and killed by Shin as an example made to warn the other Dredgens. [[The Guardian|The Young Wolf]] would find the spot of the Shadow's final death, retrieving weapon parts from his remains for [[The Drifter (character)|The Drifter]] to craft [[Malfeasance]], a Hand Cannon based on Thorn's design.
| |
|
| |
| It was later revealed that Shin Malphur's killing of Callum Sol was in fact a trap intended to bait Guardians that could not resist their temptations of the Darkness, and that Shin was actually a member of the Shadows of Yor himself. Having taken upon himself to prevent a whole generation of Guardians from following in Yor's footsteps, Shin (under the false identity "Zyre Orsa") founded the Shadows along with [[Teben Grey]], [[Zana Maas]], [[Jonah Pavic]], [[Braga Yasuul]] and Callum Sol as a means to uncover Lightbearers who were at risk of going rogue after participating in the Drifter's [[Gambit]] and dissuade them from falling into temptation. Shin also looked for a Guardian capable of resisting their temptations, leading them to find [[the Young Wolf]], whom in the years after claiming their Thorn from the Hellmouth and cleansing it had went on to do extraordinary feats. They had killed [[Enkaar, the Anointed]], an infamous [[Hive]] weapons master who crafted the original blueprints of the Weapons of Sorrow, and managed to reforge another broken copy of Thorn, replacing the one they had lost in the [[Red War]] without succumbing to its corrupting influence.
| |
|
| |
| During ''[[Season of Opulence]]'', Shin entrusted the Guardian with Yor's original Thorn. In their hands, Thorn was first be cleansed to reveal the original Rose underneath, and then extensively modified and charged with Light to become the Hand Cannon [[Lumina]].
| |
|
| |
| At some unknown point, a [[Warlock]] named [[Jana-14]] who was obsessed with researching Thorn and other topics surrounding Dredgen Yor managed to reverse-engineer the hand cannon's effects, in the process accidentally causing her fellow researcher [[Carro]] to suffer a slow and agonizing death. Jana-14 had her fellow researchers secretly conduct an autopsy of Carro's body without the [[Vanguard]]'s approval, and found that tissue samples from his body yielded an explosive, contagious version of the Weapon of Sorrow's corrupting effect, which she infused into a pair of Warlock gauntlets to create the [[Necrotic Grip]]. Sometime during the war against the [[House of Salvation]], the Guardian would obtain the Grips and discover its ability to synergize with Thorn itself, enabling the gun's rounds to take on the traits of the Grips' poison.

| ===Gameplay===
| |
| Thorn, like every exotic in Destiny, has a "signature perk". Thorn's is called "Mark of the Devourer", which allows rounds fired from the weapon to pierce the target and cause lingering damage over time, <ref>[http://db.destinytracker.com/inventory/item/3164616404 '''DestinyDB''' : ''Thorn'']</ref> which, in PvP, could potentially prevent a fleeing Guardian's shield from regenerating quickly enough for a kill-shot to be delivered. This perk has since been nerfed from its [[Year 1]] iteration.

| Augmented through dark practices, Thorn was once a hero's weapon. Its jagged frame hints at a sinister truth: a powerful connection to the unutterable sorceries of the Hive.
| |
|
| |
| The legend of Thorn is bound to the rise and fall of Dredgen Yor, a Guardian whose name is remembered with disgust and shame. The weapon was thought destroyed... but rumors of its existence still haunt the wilds.<ref name="grimoire"/>

| |
| ====Perks====
| |

| |
| *Exotic Trait: '''Soul Devourer''' - Absorbing a Remnant strengthens Mark of the Devourer and partially refills the magazine.

| |
| **Greatly increases handling speed.
| |

| |
|
| |
| ===Catalyst===
| |
| The [[Exotic Catalyst]] for Thorn was first released during ''[[Season of the Wish]]'' and can be obtained as a random drop through ritual activity completions ([[Strike]]s, [[Crucible]] and [[Gambit]]) once the weapon has been acquired. Once obtained, it requires 700 kills with the weapon to complete.
| |
|
| |
| The catalyst, once completed, will grant the following additional perks:
| |
|
| |
| *'''+15 Range'''
| |
| *'''+5 Stability'''
| |
| *'''+5 Airborne Effectiveness'''
| |
| *Exotic Trait: '''Refined Soul''' - Grants bonus range and stability. Dealing a final blow or absorbing a Remnant grants additional increased weapon range, as well as increased mobility and handling for a short time.

| "The [[Weapons of Sorrow]] are not the endgame, but a road map. Each evolution, every advance in the delivery of pain and the mastery of destruction feeds the Hive's hateful weapons research. They will map every scream, harness every aggression, until they understand every method by which to ravage the hearts, minds, and flesh of man. And in doing so, they will turn us against ourselves—feeding our lust, our greed, our fear, until we become a threat unto ourselves like none we could imagine. So, wield these, angry reaper. Strive to know the darkness in your own heart. Walk in the shadows of fallen heroes. And know that you are an enemy of hope."
