After decades of conflict, Efrideet joined [[Saladin Forge]] and [[Felwinter]] within a [[Warlock]] meditation chamber within [[Felwinter Peak]] to plan how to deal with the legendary Warlord [[Shaxx]]'s mountain fortress. Felwinter announced that Shaxx had accepted his challenge to one-on-one combat, but Efrideet was skeptical of his plan due as no Iron Lord or Warlord had ever bested the [[Titan]]. Felwinter countered that [[Ikora Rey]] had and that he could too before questioning if either had a better idea. Saladin conceded that Lord [[Radegast]] was planning a head-on assault, shocking Efrideet due to the nearly hundred civilians living in the fortress who could be caught in the crossfire. She refused to believe that their commander truly intended to go through with the assault, but Saladin noted that Radegast was tired of fighting, but Efrideet did not believe that was a good excuse.<ref name="REM">'''Bungie, (3/10/2020), [[Weblore]]:''' ''[https://www.bungie.net/en/Explore/Detail/News/48809 Remembrance]''</ref> | After decades of conflict, Efrideet joined [[Saladin Forge]] and [[Felwinter]] within a [[Warlock]] meditation chamber within [[Felwinter Peak]] to plan how to deal with the legendary Warlord [[Shaxx]]'s mountain fortress.

The trio traveled to Shaxx's fortress, discovering his people were seemingly well-fed and had winter clothing. They found the Warlord making repairs to his fortress to weatherproof it for the coming change in weather. Felwinter attempted to convince Shaxx to join, but the Warlord questioned if he had given [[Citan]] the same speech before killing him. Efrideet carefully kept her face neutral and ignored Saladin looking at her in shock, keeping ready to draw her hand cannon in case things turned violent. Failing to persuade Shaxx to join the Iron Lords or the growing [[The Last City|Last City]], they proceeded outside where Efrideet and Saladin watched as Shaxx defeated Felwinter in seconds. Conferring in the aftermath of the duel, Felwinter declared he would stay and continue challenging Shaxx. Efrideet noted that the local Warlords would respect that, although they were all needed to join a concentrated strike against the [[House of Devils]] in the [[Cosmodrome]]. She was also concerned that Shaxx would target Felwinter's [[Ghost]], [[Felspring]], as he had multiple confirmed kills of other Warlords, but Felwinter did not believe that Shaxx would attempt to truly kill him. Saladin agreed with the plan but declared that he expected that all Felwinter would do is buy them time to deal with the Fallen and then return in force. As she and Saladin left their comrade to his work, Efrideet expressed surprise that Saladin did not know that Felwinter was a oathbreaker and that was why Radegast hated him. Saladin admitted he did not and questioned why Felwinter was still tolerated. She informed him that Felwinter had provided evidence that all the Warlords he murdered has killed Ghosts, civilians, and other crimes that broke the Iron Decree but had never requested permission for any of his executions. Efrideet then hoped that they had another plan other than assaulting the mountain once the Devil uprising had been put down, but Saladin stated that Shaxx was forcing their hand and that they could not risk other Warlords who would be less careful attack first.<ref name="REM"/> | The trio traveled to Shaxx's fortress, discovering his people were seemingly well-fed and had winter clothing.
