Hello again guardians, AL here with another lore post! Today we will be discussing the exotic auto rifle, Zhalo Supercell. Let's get into it! [quote]"An up-cycled torrent of righteous thunder. " [/quote]Sources: [b]Zhalo Supercell grimiore The Ashen Conflux Group [/b] The Zhalo Supercell is an interesting exotic, but not the way you think of. The name "Zhalo" comes from a Russian root, and I had to have some Russian friends help me find the true way to say it. In Russian, "Zh" is replaced by a vibrating "J". So, it would be "Jha-lo". Also, Zhalo in Russian means "Sting". So, technically, you're wielding the "Sting Supercell", funny isn't it? So, to the lore of the weapon. Zhalo Supercell was forged outside of the walls of the tower, which is evident from the weapon's grimiore. [quote]"When you're out the Wall, sometimes you have to take what you can find, and make it work."[/quote] This means that Zhalo wasn't forged with normal materials, most likely parts from fallen weapons, assuming that the weapon is from the cosmodrome, since it has Russian roots. I'd like to think that the guardian who forged this weapon used his own light to fuel this weapon, because of the high amounts of power pulsing from the weapon. I am led to believe this from this part of the grimiore: [quote]"The Zhalo Supercell remains a striking example of what a Guardian can do with some outdated tech, a deep command of fundamental light, and a spark of inspiration"[/quote] This shows this exceptional guardian has an exemplary command of light and can forge weapons. What he forged it after, we may never know, but it does have a striking resemblance to the devouring maw, which most likely points back to the fallen once again. Thank you for reading guys, and have a great day!
