Destiny 2 Lore - Eramis' Story before she was a Kell shows us how powerful she really was!

Destiny 2's lore tells us about Eramis' story before she was the Kell of Darkness. In today's story, we'll learn about how she was a unique unifying force even before her rule when she languished in the Prison of Elders!

I'm just waiting for Mithrax to become the first eliksni guardian.

Eramis after Mithrax stopped the SIVA heist with guardians: *"My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined."*

Variks is a character with no real friends or enemies, he only has his interest. His interest or loyalty is the survival of the Eliksni people.

"Eramis could have grown to be an immense threat!"

Didn't that happen in the Stranger's Timeline? Hence the time travel and coming to Europa?

[WhoisPersona]

“Come then pawn, show me what freedom has given you.”

Eramis is an extremely interesting character for me when looking over Eliksni lore. Love this vid.

[Silencersix]

I really hope what the Darkness told Kridis was true, and Eramis will come back to life, stronger than she was. She was killed off too quickly in my opinion.

[novabomb]

I never realized how old eramis actually is. She was alive not only when the traveler left the fallen, but when it arrived hundreds of years ago.

6:18

Eramis has no House. She kneels before no banner, owes allegiance to no Kell. She is a shipstealer, and very good at what she does. I have been tracking her since she broke out, yes? Now Eramis works for Darkness, but not for long.

"Are you not entertained? Are you not entertained?! Is that not why you're here?"
- Eramis in the Prison of Elders.

[bspoon]

what saint 14 and ana bray say on the radio at beyond is very interesting they tell you how powerful eramis was she was respected and feared by them both.

Stasis fallen rivaling the guardians:
Me who soloed the whole campaign: bruh

[silverb]

At 16:33, In case y'all are wondering who is Athrys.

For Hunters, her name might look familiar because she has an extoic named after her, ATHYRS’S EMBRACE.
She really isn't mentioned in any lore books besides "The Once-Shipstealer" but Variks does talk about her relationship with Earmis in the Sabotage lore tabs.

Basically, Athrys was Eramis' mate back when the Traveller was still with the Elkisni. They had many hatchlings and were quite happy together according to Variks. We don't know her fate but Eramis mentioned that Athrys was banging on the walls of her own or Eramis sleeping pod begging for the Traveller to come back.

For me, I believe Athrys and their hatchlings are dead. It would provide a great motive for why Earmis hates the Traveller along with her other motives. It would explain her hatred towards the guardians and Traveller is much more impactful because in a way, the Traveller
took everything from her.

It's also a bit of irony because the Traveller destroyed her past life. We destroyed her present one by killing her House and all the dreams a better life for the fallen with it.

I think they might actually have further plans for Eremis. Her _literally_ being in stasis and us not smashing her like we've been proved more than capable of is definitely a hint to that. They've built her up for a while as such am interesting and formidable foe, just for is to defeat her so quickly.

Here's to hoping they have a few tricks still left up their sleeves for this interesting piece on the multidimensional chess board

[theunholymemecrusader]

Eramis is one of my favorite main villains in the series so far and even though there wasn't much for her cutscene wise her and her generals (cant remember the exact term) during those interactions was pretty neat even her voice lines made her character one of my favorites especially with the strike and her trying to bring a vex army was actually pretty smart in my opinion if she was able to figure out a way to control them and we weren't able to stop the mind and the hydra or her she definitely would have been the next ghaul in able to take the city and possibly the entire system even faster than the red legion did

[jyapp]

It is so cool that this one lore book connects Forsaken to Beyond Light. It feels weirdly... natural.

[solstia]

The final tab when Eramis was talking about Taniks was cool, the imagery of all the Fallen VIPs storming the city is just so cool

[krogaen]

"Eramis could have been a ridiculous threat to guardians" she was a huge force during the Stranger's timeline's Bombardment...

[Pejin]

Before she was Eramiskel she was Eramis


What did you think she was Eramisdreg?

[SymbioteMullet]

I haven't played D2 yet, but Eramis sounds like an amazing character, who really shows how the Fallen were such a threat to city so long ago. I wish she'd been teased during house of wolves, even with a throwaway line. I hope she becomes the equivalent of a guardian for the darkness.
