[b]This is a collaborative effort with the Master Lore Post. So, naturally, I'd link it: [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/206388637?showBanned=0&path=0]here[/url][/b] Hello! Today I'll be talking about Warlocks. Not specific ones, but there will be some who have brief descriptions about who they are and what they did. If you want to know more, you can look through the Master Post to find your answer. Let's start with what a Warlock is exactly. A Warlock is a scholar who studies they Light in order to gain knowledge. Ironically, the most legendary Warlocks (Toland and Osiris) both studied the Darkness and it's inhabits. But most study the Light to gain knowledge and power. At least according to Ikora. Ok, Subclass time!: [b]Voidwalker:[/b] First let me say that Void is a type of Light. Voidwalkers stare into the Void and draw power from it. They then use this Space Magic to obliterate their foes! [b]Sunsinger:[/b] Sunsingers can sing the Sun's Song. I know that sounds confusing, but let me explain. When a Warlock can sing the Sun's Song, they can understand one of the purest forms of Light. Toland states:[i]"I have left searing footprints on the dark side of the Moon. I have stood on the spires of Mercury, chilled by the solar wind. I have stretched my wings, and I have flown. That is what is possible when you understand the Sun's song."[/i] Once you know the song and sing it, the enemies of the City will burn! [b]Stormcaller[/b] I consider this one the oddball. Stormcallers take the static electricity from things around them and direct the Arc stream (not get consumed by it) to the Fallen, Hive, ect. The first Stormcaller and master of Stormtrance was a Warlock trying to imitate the Vex during a Lightning Storm on Mars. Now to the good stuff: The Legends! [b]Toland, the Shattered:[/b] Toland the Shattered is, questionably, the most known Lore character out there, along with Saint-14, Kabr and his Fireteam, the Iron Lords (hype), ect. He went out of his way to study the Hive. Toland was eventually exiled from the City after frequently communing with the Darkness (Hive) and because the Speaker didn't like what he talked about. But he never did stop studying the Hive, their Magic, and their ever-expanding lust for Guardian. Eris and Erianna-3 decided they needed his help with the first ever Crota's End raid, so they recruited him along with Sai Mota, Omar Agah, and Vell Tarlowe, to defeat the Hive prince. There he did some weird things (which you can find by either surfing the Master Post) and had his body die whilst doing so, but not permanently. He now is floating between Hive Throne Worlds as a spirit of sorts, mapping them out for us to find. [i]Sidenote:[/i] Eris Morn is NOT a Warlock, she is a Hunter. Carry on. [b]Osiris:[/b] Osiris is sort of like Toland, just with an obsession with the Vex, the true nature of the Darkness, and the coming of Oryx. Osiris studied under the Speaker. After the battle of Six Fronts he became the Warlock Vanguard and Commander. After a little falling-out with the Speaker he chose to leave the City (or was exiled, it is unknown) to use what he always studied. He even gained a cult following, who proceeded to follow Osiris to Mercury, if not physically then mentally. The Cult of Osiris was born, and the Cult members wrote two books; The Parables of the Allspring and the Sayings of the Disciples. [b]Iron Lords Felwinter, Skorri, and Timur:[/b] These guys don't have that much lore in them, except that they have their own weapons. Skorri's Revenge, Timur's Lash, and, of course, Felwinter's Lie. Felwinter was one of the original Iron Lords, and presumable helped secure Felwinter's Peak. Skorri is sometime nori clued as an Iron Lord, but she still sings of what her fallen comrades have done. [b]Fenchurch Everis:[/b] Fenchurch Everis is an Awoken Warlock and explorer. He was revived in the Martian sands, with nothing but his Ghost and a single Silver coin. Silver, unlike real life silver, is cryptographic, which means someone can have a Silver coin digitally made for them only. Fenchurch goes around planets and finds ancient cultural dances and actions, which explains emotes. Other than this, Fenchurch either makes wild claims or tells interesting stories. He says he's been inside the Traveler (which faintly smells like vanilla), met a tiger inside a Vex conflux, and had the legendary engram named after him. [b]Albios:[/b] Albios is probably the most unknown Warlock on this list. He lived 5 lives. Lives 1-3 and 5 are missing, so I'll explain Live 4. In his 4th life he was found under a Willow Tree on Venus, with only a Lantern. He was on a mission: Find and Ahamkara. In his final life he did find one, but as stated in the Item Description (yes, his only lore is through item descriptions), but it was too late. [b]Pujari:[/b] Pujari is a Thanatonautic poet and writer (don't worry, I explain Thanatonautics in a bit). After a vision he had about a random flower-Ghost in the Black Garden saying, "Hey, you're a dead thing made by a dead power in the shape of the dead. All you will ever do is kill," and gets pricked by the Ghost's thorns and keeps the wound afterwards, he begins to feel doubt. It has been [b]theorized[/b] that Pujari is actually Dredgen Yor, infamous Hunter(?) who wielded Thorn, but this isn't about maybe Hunters, now is it? For proof (kinda) look to the Common Warlock Bond, Bond of Will. [b]Ulan-Tan[/b] Ulan-Tan is a Warlock who believes that everything is even. For every Light there is Darkness. He went on to make a Faction called "The Symmetry." Same thing with the Light and Dark forces, like Guardians vs Hive. [b]Praedyth:[/b]: Praedyth was the Warlock of Kabr's Fireteam. He went in with Kabr and Pahanin wielder of Super Good Advice (And also maybe Osiris). Praedyth was captured by the Vex, and is now stuck in a "time-prison" as I like call it. He sends messages through a little box of wires and cables, and sends them when his prison door is open (in whatever timeline he may be in) and hopes for help. This is clear as most Guardians have done the mission "Paradox," in an effort to save Praedyth and expel the Vault of Taken. Praedyth may be dead in "this" timeline, he may still live just as a non-physical being, but not the others. [b]Ikora Rey:[/b] A very short-fused person. Ikora Rey is the current Warlock Vanguard as of posting time. During her youth, she'd carry around her signature weapon, Invective. Invective actually means "insulting, abusive, or highly critical language!" But now as the Warlock Vanguard, she's calmed down and is now the leader of a hidden team which makes secret attacks, called "The Hidden." The Hidden are a group of of Guardians (Including Eris Morn)which make hit-and-run raids on enemy strongholds for Warlocks to study. [b]Erianna-3[/b] Erianna-3 of the Praxic Warlocks was a member of Eris's Fireteam to take on Crota, Hope Eater. She was a Sunsinger and is [b]theorized[/b] to have had the Heart of Praxic Fire held tightly to her torso. She even tortured a Hive Wizard to find out what Crota's name was, where to find him, and how to kill him! Now that I've mentioned Praxic and Thanatonaut, you might be wondering what I mean. So let's get into the groups of Warlocks. [b]Praxic:[/b] Praxic Warlocks are Warlocks who are more like Titans. They care more about the fight then they do knowing who they're fighting. It's not that they don't like studying, it's just more of a secondary task. [b]Thanatonauts:[/b] Such a confusing word should be for these confusing people. A Thanatonaut is a Warlock who kills themselves in order to gain visions. A well-known Thanatonaut is Pujari. This comes from the root "Thanato" meaning death. This is all for now, I will update when I'm asked of. But for now, see ya and keep Lore-ing!
