The '''Whirlwind''' was an apocalyptic event that triggered the collapse of the [[Eliksni]] civilization, caused at least in part by the departure of the [[Traveler]]. Much like [[human|humanity]]’s [[Golden Age]] and the [[Collapse]] that followed suit, the Eliksni experienced significant advancement in technology under the Traveler before a sudden cataclysm destroyed everything. When it left, the Houses fell to fighting each other and many Houses were ultimately wiped out. The Whirlwind occurred before humanity's first contact with the Traveler.<ref>'''Bungie (2015-9-9)''', ''Destiny: House of Wolves, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies/The Queen#Variks, The Loyal|Variks, The Loyal]]''</ref>


The '''Whirlwind''' was an apocalyptic event that triggered the collapse of the [[Fallen|Eliksni]] civilization, caused by the departure of [[The Traveler|the Traveler]] due to the arrival of the [[Black Fleet]]. The Whirlwind occurred centuries before humanity's first contact with the Traveler.<ref>'''Bungie (2015-9-9)''', ''Destiny: House of Wolves, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies/The Queen#Variks, The Loyal|Variks, The Loyal]]''</ref>
It appears that the [[Hive]] led by [[Oryx, the Taken King]] were present during the Whirlwind, as [[Chelchis, Kell of Stone]] was [[Taken]] during the event.
Much like [[Human]]ity's [[Golden Age]] and the [[Collapse]] that followed suit, the Eliksni experienced significant advancement in technology under the Traveler before a sudden cataclysm destroyed everything. The Eliksni homeworld of [[Riis]] was set upon by the [[Pyramids]], causing the Traveler to flee. The Pyramids subsequently caused massive damage to the Eliksni civilization, and the remaining Houses fell to fighting each other. While [[Oryx, the Taken King]] would challenge and defeat [[Chelchis, Kell of Stone]], making a last stand before the maw. Several Houses, including House Stone and most of House Rain, were ultimately wiped out, with billions of Eliksni perishing. The remaining Eliksni fled their homeworld in pursuit of the Traveler, beginning the period known as the [[Long Drift]].
