The '''Deep Stone Crypt''' is the original source of all [[Exos]]; its nature is mysterious, but it appears to both be a location and a subroutine responsible for seeding the first Exo consciousnesses. | |||
In ''[[Beyond Light]]'', it is revealed that the Deep Stone Crypt is in fact a physical place, located on [[Europa]], and is the setting of the eponymous [[Raid]]<ref name="Raid">'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]], [[Raid]]: [[Deep Stone Crypt (raid)|Deep Stone Crypt]]''</ref>. It is also the location of the artifact or entity [[Clovis Bray I]] called "[[Clarity Control]]". | |||
==History== | |||
===The Golden Age=== | |||
During [[Clovis Bray I]]'s studies of the [[Vex]] on [[Europa]], he discovered that exposing Vex [[radiolaria|radiolarian fluid]] to the [[paracausal]] power he referred to as "[[Darkness|Clarity]]" created a substance which miraculously solved the "loop/billboard/crash" problem that had plagued early exominds. Likening this substance to the mythological "[[Alkahest]]" produced by the legendary Sorcerer's Stone, Bray named his Exo-production facility on Europa the "Deep Stone Crypt". | |||
===City Age=== | |||
After the [[Collapse]], most Exos know the Deep Stone Crypt only as a dream that many of them experience. In the dream, a tower lies on a black plain. Some make it to the tower in peace, while others are forced to slay an army of everyone they have met in order to reach it.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Console, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies/Legends & Mysteries#Ghost Fragment: Legends|Ghost Fragment: Legends]]''</ref> | |||
The late [[Hunter]] [[Vanguard]] [[Cayde-6]] vaguely recalled becoming an Exo in his [[Cayde's Treasure Island Book|Treasure Island Book]], where he recorded going to an icy moon.<ref name="Cayde anecdote">'''[[Cayde's Treasure Island Book]]''', ''Page 4'' ''"Saturn. No, someplace else. Someplace colder. This moon has been almost completely converted[...]"''</ref> | |||
In the events of the Season of the Worthy, Ana Bray notes that she is working with Rasputin to find the location of the Deep Stone Crypt; given the control that he can exert over Exos it is perplexing why Rasputin does not know its location. | |||
===Rise of Salvation=== | |||
When [[Eramis, the Shipstealer]] came to settle on Europa guided by the [[The Witness|whispers]] of the [[Darkness]], she had her newly founded [[House of Salvation]] explore the ruins of the [[Golden Age]] [[Eventide]] colony, and discovered the Deep Stone Crypt. She quickly got busy uncovering its secrets, with her [[Baron]] [[Atraks, the Wildcard]] leading the exploration. When [[The Guardian]]'s offensive grew closer, she instucted the latter to fortify the Crypt, and prepare for the human's arrival.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]], [[Mission]]: [[The Technocrat]] (Cutscene)''</ref> Though the [[Kell]] of Darkness was stopped, Atraks had continued working with the Crypt's technology, and managed to turn herself into an Exo.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]], [[Armor]]: [[Mask of Bakris]]''</ref> | |||
A Raid fireteam would be put together by the [[Vanguard]] to rid the Crypt of Fallen presence. The [[Guardian]]s traveled through the frigid snowstorm surrounding the installation, and disarmed its compromised [[Crypt Security|security]]. They reached Clarity Control, where they found Atraks-1 rebuilding [[Taniks, the Scarred|Taniks]]. With Atraks' fall at the [[Morning Star]], Taniks activated the installation's Nuclear Descent Protocol, threatening the entire moon with destruction alongside the Guardians. The fireteam would manage to disarm the nukes required for the protocol's full completion, causing the space station to crash into the ground installation and opening it up for the galaxy to see. The Crypt's AI would warn the Guardians they would have to defend the secrets of Exo creation from all threats now, starting with taking out Taniks for good.<ref name="Raid"/> | |||
