Following the failed attempt to steal Outbreak Prime and the SIVA it contained, Eramis abandoned the House of Devils banner and united former members of the Devils, Wolves and Dusk Houses under the [[House of Salvation]], with Eramis proclaiming herself as Kell. They began utilizing the [[Darkness]] as a means to destroy the [[Guardian]]s and [[The Last City]], going against the Fallen's traditional rules and ideals by willingly using and harnessing the very thing that [[Whirlwind|destroyed]] their [[Riis|home]]. Furthermore, Eramis sought revenge against the [[Traveler]] for abandoning her people centuries prior.<ref>[https://www.gamespot.com/articles/destiny-2-beyond-light-expansion-will-let-you-wiel/1100-6478184/?ftag=NLS-04-10aaa1d '''GameSpot''' - ''Destiny 2 Beyond Light Expansion Will Let You Wield Darkness'']</ref>

Unfortunately for Eramis, Variks would learn of her hateful plans, disappointed that Eramis had turned their shared dream of rebuilding Eliksni civilization in peace on Europa into an opportunity to forge an empire for herself. Desperate to save his people, Variks had stolen one of Eramis's Splinters of Darkness and sought a means to contact the Guardians to warn them of Eramis's threat. Though he was almost killed when the Dark Kell caught up to him, Variks was successful in getting the Guardian to aid him in combating Eramis and her House of Salvation. However, Eramis's use of Stasis. along with that of her lieutenants, proved too much for the Guardians to handle, forcing them to agree to work with the [[Exo Stranger]] in wielding Stasis themselves.
Unfortunately for Eramis, Variks would learn of her hateful plans, disappointed that Eramis had turned their shared dream of rebuilding Eliksni civilization in peace on Europa into an opportunity to forge an empire for herself. Desperate to save his people, Variks had stolen one of Eramis's Splinters of Darkness and sought a means to contact the Guardians to warn them of Eramis's threat. Though he was almost killed when the Dark Kell caught up to him and personally docked his mechanical arm, Variks was successful in getting the Guardian to aid him in combating Eramis and her House of Salvation. However, Eramis's use of Stasis, along with that of her lieutenants, proved too much for the Guardians to handle, forcing them to agree to work with the [[Exo Stranger]] in wielding Stasis themselves.


After enough training, the Guardians are able to take out the members of Eramis's inner circle, such as [[Phylaks]] and [[Praksis]], growing in strength with their Stasis abilities. Hearing of her council being decimated, Eramis became enraged. Though [[Kridis]] advised caution, Eramis sought to retaliate, initially through gaining reinforcements from the remnants of the old House of Devils but after the Guardian caught wind of her plan and routed the devils before they could reach Europa, the Dark Kell became further enraged and desperate. Seeking reinforcements of a different nature, Eramis began to activate a Vex portal that Clovis Bray was studying, which would allow the Vex to pour through and overwhelm Europa. Believing that Eramis had truly gone mad, Variks directs the Guardians to stop the Vex portal in haste, succeeding in doing so after destroying [[Belmon, Transcendent Mind]]. Eramis nonetheless gained something from the massive amounts of radiolaria the portal had created.

Following the battles with the Shadow Legion, Eramis would seek out a House of Wolves Ketch [[Wolfship Turbine|partially buried]] in the [[Tangled Shore]]. Despite the insistence of her [[Vandal]] lieutenant [[Kylaksis]] to attack and capture an Awoken patrol vessel, Eramis declared that the time of the Shipstealer was gone and that all that mattered was where she was when the Final Shape came. She then transmitted aboard the Wolf Ketch and made her way to the ship's navigation where she retrieved a map to Riis from its data core that her mate Arthys had used to navigate out of Sol. Eramis was unsure if Arthys was still alive or not, but being at her side when the end came was what she could think most about.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/11/28)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Wish]] - [[Nostos]]''</ref> While the Vanguard still considered her a credible threat, their attention was focused more on finding a way to pass through the portal and follow the Witness to prevent it from enacting the Final Shape.

After many trials, revelations and risky bargains, the Guardians managed to enter into the Traveler's [[Pale Heart]] and confront The Witness for the last time, destroying the entity once and for all. With its death, House Salvation would begin to turn on itself in Eramis' absense.

===Joining forces with the Light===
Eramis met with [[Ixis]] to inform her that a call for aid had been sent, and she needed to evacuate her nest. Ixis warned her that she would be killed if she made contact with the Last City, but Eramis knew they wouldn't be able to fight [[Fikrul, the Fanatic|Fikrul]]'s new breed of [[Scorn]] on their own. Eramis began to leave as she had weapons to prepare, knowing sooner or later she would come into contact with Fikrul.<ref>'''Bungie (2024/8/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Episode: Revenant]] - [[Shadestalker Suit#Shadestalker Helm/Hood/Mask|Shadestalker Helm/Hood/Mask]]''</ref>
Eramis and House Salvation sent a distress signal from Riis-Reborn as they came under attack from the [[Revenant Scorn]]. The Guardian and [[Uldren Sov|Crow]] arrived to rescue to Eliksni, but [[the Hidden]] informed them that Eramis was on site, and they made plans to capture her. The Guardian arrived at Eramis's location, and she challenged them to stand against her. However, the Guardian ultimately sided with her, and together they fought the Revenant Scorn. Fikrul arrived, and summoned a [[Revenant Baron]], before leaving. After they defeated the Baron, Eramis fled, exclaiming that she bowed to no one. The Guardian chased her down, and Crow arrived to personally arrest her. He explained that it wasn't his place to judge, but the people of the Last City wanted justice for the crimes she committed. Eramis scoffed at his so called justice, believing humanity has committed equal crimes against the Eliksni. Crow told her to think about her remaining kin, and Eramis agreed to go peacefully if her people were given save harbor. Crow gave his word, and Eramis asked to be brought to Eido.<ref name="Rev1">'''Bungie (2024/8/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Episode: Revenant]] - [[Na-Veskirisk]]''</ref>
Aboard the [[H.E.L.M.]], Crow held a gun to Eramis and activated onboarding defenses as a House Salvation Ketch arrived to free Eramis. He demanded that Eramis call them off, but she explained that she want the one in need of a rescue. Fikrul arrived in the H.E.L.M., and Eramis realized that it was too late, as Fikrul used his new [[Echo (object)|Echo]] to convert the Eliksni aboard the Ketch into Revenant Scorn, causing the Ketch to crash into the H.E.L.M.. The Guardian, Crow, and Eramis held onto the ship as it began a crash landing towards the surface of Europa. [[Failsafe]] took control of the ship due to her experience with crash landings.<ref name="Rev1"/>
Eramis was placed within a jail cell in the [[Market District]]. Zavala visited an explained that she would receive a fair trial, and could face indefinite incarceration, or probation pending evaluation. She was also given a counsel who helped her sign legal documents, and had them translated into her language.
Eido would frequently visit Eramis in her cell. Eramis began to recognize that the Guardian was protecting her people. Eido told her she was working with Variks to track down information about tonics. Eramis told her that she knew some older Eliksni that might have some knowledge on the topic. She also gave Eido coordinates  to a Salvation enclave in need of assistance, and Eido forwarded it to Crow without telling him it was from Eramis.<ref>'''Bungie (2024/8/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Episode: Revenant]] - [[Episode: Revenant Act I: Eliksni Rescue]]''</ref>

===Jail Quotes===
*''"I do not have time for your gawking. My… "counsel" has presented me with a labyrinth of documents I must read. She has… translated it into my language. Obviously in an attempt to lull me into a false sense of security. Such theatrics as this will not fool me. There is no justice at the hands of humanity. Only death. [whispers] Only death."''
*''"Oh, it’s you. I am told I will receive… "legal representation." Some form of advocate for this deplorable system. I hold no peers and will suffer no advocacy. I know in my heart the verdict has already been decided. That my corpse will hang from the City’s walls to reassure its people. One more monster slain."''
*''"I knew this was a trick. Your Vanguard sent an agent down to manipulate and interrogate me. She asked me of my childhood, my parents, my hatchlings. She wanted me to… talk about my pain. This psychological warfare will not work on me, Guardian. Tell your “therapist” that I see through her disguise. Her questions opened up too many old wounds to not be an attack."''
*''"Back again? I never thought I would long for the solitude the Prison of Elders provided. Instead, I am left to feel like a curiosity, trotted out for all the world to see. To bask in the glow of my spectacular failures. To relish my defeat. One last humiliation."''
*''"Here to enjoy your victory? I remember when I was a hatchling, I was brought to witness a House of Judgement trial. Two Eliksni armed with ceremonial blades. Trial by combat. The shame of defeat lasted only as long as your fleeting life. It was simple. Kind. This? Being left to rot in the filth of my own failure, until I am deemed fit to be executed? This is cruelty."''
*''"Guardian. I didn’t think this experience could be any worse. And yet, here you are. I do not need your pity or your curiosity. And if you’re here to finish me off… Stop wasting my time."''
*''"Come to appreciate the fruits of your labor? These judicial theatrics continue and I refuse to be broken by them. Your Commander Zavala came to see me. Assured me I would see a "fair trial". I asked what weapons I would be permitted for the occasion, and he... explained the City's justice system. He said that I could face indefinite incarceration! Or probation, pending evaluation. I will not stay caged, Guardian. I will not stay caged."''
