Tree of Silver Wings (Io): Difference between revisions

Following the second arrival of the [[Pyramids]] in the [[Sol system]], a  '''tree of silver wings''' was discovered by [[Eris Morn]] in the [[Cradle]] on [[Io]]. The relationship of this tree to the original "[[tree of silver wings]]", which existed either within the [[Black Garden]] or the metaphorical "[[garden]]" that gave rise to the universe, is unclear.

During the arrival of the Pyramids, [[Osiris]] recovered a [[Seed of Silver Wings|seed]] from the Pyramids<ref>'''Bungie (2020/3/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Worthy]], Playstation 4, [[Weblore:Season_of_the_Worthy#What_Gives_Me_Pause|Weblore: What Gives Me Pause]]''</ref>. He later received a message from [[Mara Sov]] relayed to him through [[Brother Vance]], which instructed him simply to "plant the seed"<ref>'''Bungie (2020/3/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Worthy]], Playstation 4, [[Lore:Trials_and_Tribulations#Chapter_8_-_Idolatry|Trials and Tribulations, Chapter 8 - Idolatry]]''</ref>. This suggests that the tree grew from the seed Osiris planted, or at least that Osiris placed the seed at its base. However, Eris Morn claimed the tree had been created by the [[Traveler]] back when it was transforming Io during the [[Golden Age]].

After [[Pyramid (Io)|one of the Pyramids]] settled over the Cradle, it began projecting a beam directly onto the tree, which slowly transformed it over a period of weeks into a darker version of itself with a crown of more angular, jagged "leaves".

During its transformation, a new branch grew at the base of the tree, which was then taken by the [[The Guardian|Guardian]] and crafted into the [[trace rifle]] [[Ruinous Effigy]].
