Survivor of The Great Disaster |
- "Again I will confess. I am Eriana-3, of the Praxic Fire, and I know my flame goes out down here. I will burn bright and hot and raze a thousand Hive to ash as I go, but I know we will not end him – The one who fell you, and hundreds more, with that foul blade."
- — Eriana

Biography
Early Life and Career
- "But that night—because it was you—I knew then and there that I never wanted to be without you."
- — Eriana-3, on her first meeting with Wei Ning
At the Tower saloon, Eriana was introduced to Wei Ning by Pahanin, who soon began questioning Eriana extensively about Stormtrances. Although she normally would have been annoyed by such questions, Eriana quickly became enamored with Wei Ning and knew instantly that she never wanted to be without her.[1]
The Great Disaster
- "My name is Eriana-3, disciple of the Praxic Warlocks, marked by the Cormorant Seal. We came here under one banner, united in a host of thousands, to claim the Moon. But the battle goes against us. I have taken a prisoner and this is the record of its interrogation. If I transgress in your eyes I ask for your forgiveness."
- — Eriana-3
Eriana and Wei Ning were among the thousands of Guardians who launched an assault against the Hive forces entrenched on the Moon. During the battle, Eriana and several other Guardians took a Hive Wizard prisoner, torturing it with Light. She learned of the name, Crota, and saw through the Wizard's mind as the Hive Prince killed Wei Ning. She sought information on how to kill Crota from the Wizard, and was telepathically shown images of Crota's realm and the Oversoul, but another Guardian informed her that Crota was operating on the Mare Imbrium front, carving his way through the Guardians. As Eriana pressed for the means to reach Crota's realm and kill him, the Wizard mocked her, showing how it had tortured an Awoken man in the exact same way Eriana was interrogating it, claiming they were the same, before dying. Eriana ordered the Wizard's body be incinerated and their Sparrows be summoned so they could join the battle, hoping that their Light would be enough to turn the tide. However, the Guardians soon abandoned the battle and fled back to Earth, with the failed campaign becoming known as "the Great Disaster".[2]
Hunt for Crota
After the Disaster, Eriana was consumed by the desire to gain vengeance for Wei Ning and so devoted herself to Crota's destruction.[3] She worked together with the Hunter Eris Morn in order to solve Crota's apparent immortality. Without a ready solution, they sought out knowledge from forbidden Hive arcana, in the form of the exiled Guardian Toland, the Shattered. Toland described the method in which they could defeat their foe by entering the Ascendant Realm and slaying the Hive Prince in his throne world. Although Eriana was disturbed by the mad Warlock's obsession with learning Hive secrets and their secret song about death, she and Eris recruited him to join their mission. She also asked three other Guardians, Omar Agah, Sai Mota, and Vell Tarlowe, to aid them their quest to defeat Crota. She recorded a message explaining their goal to the rest of the Vanguard should they fail.[4]
In her last moments, Eriana apologized to Wei for her foolishness, getting her friends killed in the name of revenge, then fought the Hive with the last of her Light until she fell.[5]
