(Needs to be just like other structure pages for factions, structure does not stand for leadership here. Leadership is in the infobox, you don’t need to have a whole new section for four people.) Tag: Mobile edit |

'''The Dread'''<ref>'''Bungie''': ''[https://press.bungie.com/Destiny-2-The-Final-Shape-Brings-Prismatic-Subclass-New-Enemy-Faction-]''</ref> are an army of [[Darkness]]-wielding entities created by the [[The Witness|Witness]]. | |||
==Overview== | |||
{{Quote|[[The Witness|It]] works in broad strokes first. Cuts away the excess. Peels back the integument and lays bare the shivering, raw meat of it. In it, the Witness sees a glimpse of the sculpture trapped inside, waiting to be freed by its hand. One assistant places the pins; another wipes away the effluvia.<br> <br> <nowiki>-|A form to teach our enemy fear. A shadow they will dread.|-</nowiki> <br> <br>(...)It refines the form, tearing wings of muscle away from bone, carving down, down, until exposed marrow steams in the cold air. Its tempo increases, its motions grow sharper, until it is slashing wildly at its canvas. Its assistants tremble. They do not see that its expression is frozen in absolute serenity. It is as calm and clear-eyed as it has ever been, discarding yards of still-living tripe to reveal…<br> <br><nowiki>-|Perfection.|-</nowiki> |[[Mataiodoxía]]}} | |||
The Dread consist of beings reshaped by the Witness into their "perfected" form, with its [[Disciples of the Witness|Disciples]] serving as a genetic blueprint for some Dread units, and remnants of other subjugated species transfigured into its army using stolen [[Light]] from the [[The Traveler|Traveler]].<ref>'''Bungie (2024/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Final Shape]] - [[The Ghost]]: [[Transmigration#Transcript|Servants of the Witness! They must be remnants from a conquered species!]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2024/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Final Shape]], [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFGD76C6LOM Temptation {{!}} Mara Sov: "The abominations you encountered are of the Witness' making."]''</ref> When killed, coiled, branching tendrils of Darkness burst from their bodies, much as observed with the Witness and its Disciples upon their defeat. | |||
''' | ==History== | ||
===Origin=== | |||
The Dread would first be encountered during the [[Invasion of Neptune]], when Tormentors were seen to be serving among the ranks of the [[Shadow Legion]], led by the newly appointed [[Disciples of the Witness|Disciple]], [[Emperor Calus]]. When the Guardian infiltrated the Cabal fleet, [[Kavauust, Reverent of the Witness]] would appear and briefly taunt the Guardian before teleporting away. Later, Kavauust would confront the Guardian once more and despite its formidable strength and Void-suppressing abilities would be slain in a fierce battle.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/2/28)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Lightfall]] - [[First Contact]]''</ref> | |||
When the Guardian infiltrated the [[Typhon Imperator]] in an attempt to destroy the [[Radial Mast]], they would deposit Resonant energy and defeat a Tormentor to venture further into the ship.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/2/28)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Lightfall]] - [[Downfall]]''</ref> Later when the Guardian was sent to restore power to the [[CloudArk]], two Tormentors would lead their forces to ambush them once they had successfully restored the power. However, thanks to warnings from [[Nimbus]], the Guardian would be aware of their scheme and defeat them before using [[Strand]] to evacuate.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/2/28)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Lightfall]] - [[Breakneck (Mission)|Breakneck]]''</ref> Later, when the Guardian was sent to stop the Shadow Legion from creating a link using the mast, they would defeat an [[Imprint of Nezarec]] to make their way closer to the location of the Radial Mast, which would ultimately be destroyed due to the heroic sacrifice of [[Rohan]].<ref>'''Bungie (2023/2/28)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Lightfall]] - [[No Time Left]]''</ref> | |||
As the Shadow Legion would begin sending Taken into the [[Vex Network]] to breach the CloudArk, [[Toniq, Imprint of Nezarec]] would be tasked with guarding the Blight. However, they would meet resistance from a fireteam of Guardians, who would slay them and enter the Vex Network to purge the Taken infestation.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/2/28)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Lightfall]] - [[HyperNet Current]]''</ref> Taking matters into his own hands, Calus would lead his forces to assault the [[Veil Containment]] site. Upon confronting the Guardian, Calus would bring forth multiple Tormentors to his aid. Despite the immense paracausal power he now possessed, the former Emperor of the Cabal would meet his end with the Guardian. However, the [[The Witness|Witness]] would possess the Guardian's Ghost, and use him to create a link between the Traveler and the Veil. It would then create and enter a portal into the [[The Pale Heart|Pale Heart]], beginning its plans for the [[Final Shape]].<ref>'''Bungie (2023/2/28)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Lightfall]] - [[Desperate Measures]]''</ref> | |||
Over the following year, Tormentors would be encountered many times working alongside various other forces of the Witness, including the Shadow Legion,<ref>'''Bungie (2023/2/28)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Defiance]] - [[Mission: Jailbreak]]''</ref> the Taken,<ref>'''Bungie (2023/8/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Witch]] - [[Altars of Summoning (activity)|Altars of Summoning]]''</ref> the [[Hive]] of [[Xivu Arath, God of War|Xivu Arath]]<ref>'''Bungie (2023/5/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Deep]] - [[Deep_Dive#The_Whetstone|The Whetstone]]''</ref> and [[House Salvation]].<ref>'''Bungie (2024/4/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Into the Light]] - [[Onslaught]]''</ref> | |||
===Serving the Final Shape=== | |||
{{Expand-section}} | |||
Upon entering the Pale Heart, the Guardian encountered a variety of new and deadly Dread soldiers alongside the Tormentors: reshaped [[Psion]]s known as [[Weaver]]s and [[Attendant]]s; the [[Glaive]] wielding [[Subjugator]]s; winged creatures known as [[Grim]]; and blade-wielding creatures known as [[Husk]]s. | |||
While primarily encountered within the Pale Heart, Dread units were briefly seen on [[Europa]] under the command of [[Korha, the Hollow]].<ref>'''Bungie (2024/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Final Shape]] - [[The Hollow, Part II]]''</ref> | |||
== | ===Following the Echoes=== | ||
Following the death of the Witness, the remaining Dread forces would fall under the control of its various followers. One of them, a leader of the [[Psion Conclave]] named [[Yirix]], would send an Omen and Tormentor [[Eexonios, Pledged to Yirix|Pledged]] [[Iziira, Pledged to Yirix|to her]] to lead a mission to claim the [[Echo of Command]] from the [[Maya Sundaresh|Conductor]] from deep within [[Nessus]].<ref>'''Bungie (2024/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Episode: Echoes]] - [[Encore]]''</ref> | |||
Months later, [[Fikrul, the Fanatic]] was able to utilise many more Dread forces through the use of his own Echo in his mission to transform living [[Fallen|Eliksni]] into [[Scorn]] with its power.<ref>'''Bungie (2024/10/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Episode: Revenant]] - [[Onslaught: Salvation]]''</ref> | |||
