Black Garden: Difference between revisions

The '''Black Garden''' is a mysterious realm located outside of space and time. Described as the birthplace of the [[Vex]], It houses the [[Black Heart]], a failed replica of [[The Veil|the Veil]] that is used to weaken [[The Traveler|the Traveler]], and is tended and guarded by the Vex collective known as the [[Sol Divisive]], led by 3 frames collectively called the [[Sol Progeny]].<ref name = "Destiny">'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''[[Destiny]]''</ref>. It was also the lair once used by [[Taranis]] to make his nest before making his final wish to scatter his and [[Riven]]'s clutch.

Several moments after the Conceptual Mind was defeated, the Sol Divisive would create an Axis Mind capable of harnessing [[Ahamkara]] energies and simulating the [[Techeun]]s to stop them from recovering Riven's eggs. As the Guardian arrived too late to recover one of the eggs, the Sol Divisive would transport the egg into the Black Garden, near Taranis's corpse. Crow would track the egg and allow the Guardian to pursue them into the Garden by using Riven's accessway. They would use the sparks left behind to approach the structure resembling [[The Citadel]] from [[Venus]], unlock the paracausal locks, navigate the mist otherwise hazardous to them, defeat [[Akardon, Pitiless Mind]], and recover both Riven's egg and [[Wish-Keeper]], a gift given to them by Taranis to honor his wish to protect his and Riven's unborn whims. Riven reveals that the Black Garden was used as a lair by Taranis, just like the [[Dreaming City]] was used as a lair by her. Taranis and Riven would spend time in the Black Garden until the [[Great Ahamkara Hunt]] was commenced by [[Lightbearer]]s of the [[Last City]], when they were separated. Taranis would make a noble sacrifice at the cost of his death: he would grant his own wish to scatter the clutch. Riven would begin sending messages by having the Guardian use Wish-Keeper to form constellations around both the Black Garden and the Dreaming City, then having them visit Taranis's corpse to deliver it. As they do so, they would also build mysterious platform to access a portal above the corpse.
