Qugu: Difference between revisions

Line 21:

The Qugu evolved from herd animals and were infected by a virus that profoundly influenced their society. The virus rewrote the Qugu's genetic code so that they were compelled to ritualistically offer their limbs to be amputated by another species called [[Jaw-beast]]s. Once the massive, sessile jaw-beasts had consumed Qugu cells, the virus converted the cells into eggs, which would develop and eventually hatch within the jaw-beasts. In turn, the jaw-beasts produced a nectar-like substance that the Qugu would consume to experience hallucinogenic visions.<ref name="XXIII">''''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Darkness#Calcified Fragments|Calcified Fragments]], [[Grimoire:Enemies/Darkness#Calcified Fragments: Fire Without Fuel|XXIII: Fire Without Fuel]]''</ref>.

The Qugu homeworld was called Seht and orbited a large white star called Se'Tar along with other ~~eleven~~ worlds. Three other stars were close enough to their system to "color the sky"<ref name=dynasty/>.

The planet was defined by a great Mountain that stood rigid and cut against the sky, floodplains engulfed the Mountain's shadow to every horizon. In the surrounding region coral forests dotted by mossy patches were rooted into red sands and maize-streaked stone. The shallow steeps were geothermally active, rich in silt and aromatic lichens grew there. These depths flow through subterranean channels that eroded the foundations until the surface falls into the slithering grooves that covered the planets<ref name=dynasty/>.
