Kelgorath, Risen from Bones: Difference between revisions

Following another humiliation at the hands of the Guardians, Kelgorath brought himself to a broken court of the High Celebrant where he would be taunted by the wizard, [[Rakthrin, War-Council]], a member of Xivu Arath's War-Council. Remembering how he once served the Witch Queen, Rakthrin mocked him on how he could've found greatness had he still served the Witch Queen even as she turned over to the Light which angered Kelgorath who refused, wishing to continue his service to Xivu Arath with renewed vigor. Pleased with this, Rakthrin used her magic to crack the court's altar, revealing an emerald sliver of a blade, a piece of the Taken King's very own sword [[Cleaver#Willbreaker|Willbreaker]]. Transfixed on the blade shard, Kelgorath agreed to Rakthrin's union, thereby allowing himself to be Taken, earning the new title '''Taken from Bones'''.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/5/23)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Deep]], Item Description: [[Thin Precipice]]''</ref>

With his new form and power, Kelgorath would be sent by Xivu Arath to corrupt the [[egregore]] coral the Guardians are seeking to collect for their ongoing mission in helping Deputy Commander [[Sloane]] in strengthening her connection to the proto-[[worm]] [[Ahsa]]. During Operation Fulgurite, the Taken Kelgorath would stalk Sloane as the fireteam worked to collect the coral, but she fought him off; leading him to eventually confront the Guardians once more. Despite Kelgorath's persistence, power and being encouraged by Xivu Arath herself, the Guardians prevailed, slaying the Taken Knight once more and allowing them to collect the egregore coral.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/5/23)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Deep]], [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9vS0Gy0oAE Operation Fulgurite]''</ref>
