I'm making this to hopefully answer a few peoples question about this topic. I'm going to start by defining the Fireteam. 👌 ~Raps
[b][u]Eris Morn[/u][/b]
[b]Eris was present during the first initial attempt to retake our moon from the Hive. After speaking with Eriana-3 on how to work the problem, they knew they needed more Intel. So they sought forbidden knowledge. They found Toland, the shattered, exiled master of Hive arcana. "The shadows dance quickly among the dust. Make them your ally."~Eris[/b]
[b][u]Eriana-3[/u][/b]
[b]Eriana-3 was a Exo Praxic Warlock, who was present during the first initial attempt to retake our moon from the Hive. Knowing the battle was going poorly, she captured and interrogated a Wizard, Thus learning of Crota's existence. Instead of showing Eriana-3 how to beat Crota, it taunted her, by showing her the death of her best freind, Wei ning. "I vowed to avenge them all and this curse I will carry to my final death." ~ Eriana-3 [/b]
[b][u]Toland, The Shattered[/u][/b]
[b]At some point, Toland had been exiled, out of fear that he was mad because of his constant rambling about Hive arcana. He was recruited because of his extensive knowledge of Hive arcana by Eris and Eriana-3. He was set on learning the deathsinger's song, and did. Details Ghost fragment: Hellmouth. "This is the shape and the point of the tooth nothing has ever lived that will not to die."~Toland [/b]
[b][u]Omar Agah[/u][/b]
[b]Omar Agah was present during the first attempt to retake the moon from the Hive. He met a painful end at the hands of the Heart of Crota. "Bet you killed a lot of Thrall to weave that thing. I didn't even know they had skin." ~Omar Agah[/b]
[b][u]Sai Mota[/u][/b]
[b]Sai Mota was recruited to the Fireteam because of her skill in the field. She and Eriana-3 were on the trail of Crota's dreaded Hand, when they encountered, Omnigul. "Mota was so close--clawing her way out with bones torn from acolytes--Her fall. Omnigul. You honor her." ~Eris Morn | " Toland stop recording this. Fine, fine. Whatever. A toast, then. To the best damned Fireteam I've ever worked with. We may not be the smartest. And we may not be the bravest. But we are the dumbest! To victory!" ~Sai Mota - The night before they went down into the pit[/b]
[b][u]Vell Tarlowe[/u][/b]
[b]Before Tarlowe was recruited he was known for his strength and courage which is why he was recruited. However Tarlowe was the first to die. He was laid low by, Verok and her mate, Alak-Hul. "There's nothing more satisfying than feeding a Knight a shard of there own." ~Vell Tarlowe[/b]
~~~~¤¤¤¤~~~~¤¤¤¤~~~~¤¤¤¤~~~~¤¤¤¤~~~~¤¤¤¤~~~
Now that that's done, we can move on to how it all went down. Keep in mind some of this is speculation. And. By some I mean a very little amount. 👌
~Raps
The night before they went into the pit they stayed at the old moon base, as stated by Eris in the mission: [b]The Wakening[/b] [b][u]" We hid in the old moon base up ahead waiting for the right time to strike. We were brave... but not ready." ~Eris Morn[/u][/b]. They learned more about the Hive from Toland, and had fun [b][u]"Toland stop recording this. Fine, fine. Whatever. A toast, then! To the best damned Fireteam I've ever worked with. We may not be the smartest. And we may not be the bravest. But we are the dumbest! To victory!" ~Sai Mota -The night before they went into the pit [/u][/b].
[b]The Next Day[/b]
They went to the front of the Temple of Crota, the stones around them cracked as the Hive waited to ambush. Vell's light was then smothered, as Alak-Hul weakened Vell, Verok and her Thrall smothered his light [b][u]" Do not underestimate the Thrall as Vell did." ~Eris[/u][/b]
[b]In The Temple[/b]
[b][u]"It was worse for those who made it inside." ~Eris[/u][/b]. All but Vell made it inside. Sai and Eriana-3 set on the path of Crota's dreaded Hand. They encountered Omnigul. Eriana-3 went up in flames burning thousands of Hive [b][u]Ghost fragment: Hellmouth 2[/u][/b]. Sai mota almost made it out but fell to omnigul[b][u]"Sai was so close--clawing her way out with bones torn from acolytes--her fall Omnigul. You honor her." ~Eris[/u][/b]
[b]Heart of Crota[/b]
[b][u]"I thought Omar dead, until I heard his screams." ~Eris[/u][/b] Omar ventured off to find and kill the Heart of Crota. He was killed in a sort of dark ritual, where the Heart peeled the light from Omar's limp body.[b][u]"I can't say if they were feeding off the Light itself, or the pain. My guess both, somehow both."~Eris[/u][/b]
[b]Alone[/b]
After Omar died Eris was truly alone, hiding in the shadows screaming for her lost comrades. Out came Toland he gifted her the knowledge of the sword power [b][u]Grimoire Card: Crota's End [/u][/b][b][u]"And after the axiom bolt smashes into neutrino scatter, the sword goes on, the sword remembers. You will understand why the sword is so powerful there. This is the world the Hive craves, a universe cut by the sharpest edge." ~Toland the shattered [/u][/b] he then gifted her with the: Emerald Light bond [b][u]"They will believe you are one of them, and that is the only way." ~Toland the shattered[/u][/b]
[b]Toland's Legacy[/b]
[b][u]Revelations my friends, it does go down hard." ~Toland [/u][/b] Toland found the Deathsinger [b][u]"I too am detached from my source, the charming Ir Yut made her introduction, a little tete-Yut. A couple old wizards exchanging definitions." ~ Toland [/u][/b] he tried to use her song but it did not work, and he was killed. He now flies between green and black suns beyond Crota's God Star.
[b]Eris's Escape[/b]
Eris was stuck in the Temple for years, but with our Ghost's words [b][u]"We've awoken the Hive." ~Ghost[/u][/b] she was able to escape. She now assists us in the Tower as (Crota's Bane) [b][u]"Thank you, guardian you have given me vengeance, for all I have lost."~Eris[/u][/b].
Thank you for reading.👌

3 RepliesEris was on boomer duty [spoiler]WOW WHO REMEMBERS BOOMER DUTY LOL[/spoiler]

Eriana might be alive right? She popped her radiance(should have waited for self res btw) and that was the last time Eros saw her she could very well be alive

9 RepliesEdited by The 7th fall: 6/27/2016 3:57:52 PMYou know what really baffles me... why did Eris speak about a Queen and us, the Guardians, simply being a means to an end when she took a shard of Oryx's sword at the end of the fight on the Dreadnaught? Aside from that pretty good summation of the lore behind the Crota fireteam. Sad though that we can only see the lore here and not experience it in the game :(.

They failed as they didn't all have Ghally.
-
5 RepliesGreat read , thanks. My question is, how can they permanently die if they have their ghost with them? Didn't their ghost would just resurrect them when they fall?
-
2 RepliesSounds like a lfg raid team.

Edited by SubjectCandy: 6/28/2016 12:36:56 PMThey had it so much harder than us by the sounds of it. All we had to do was pull out our Ethernet cable...
-
1 ReplyToo bad Aluk-Khul wasn't there when we went down. Sounds like Eris and them had to deal with a lot more stuff than we did.
-
Tarlowe is that scrub who charges at the enemy during nightfalls
-
2 RepliesFirst, great post...fascinating read. Second, how do you know we helped release Eris or what makes you think this?? Just curious
-
9 RepliesHow did Eris survive inside the temple?
-
8 RepliesGood summary. I like to call Vell Tarlowe "that guy". That guy that dies before they even get into the temple. In the story mission, I was like wtf? This is the legendary fire team and members died before even making it inside? No wonder they lost to crota :)
-
3 RepliesSomwhere in there i thought they killed crota in the real world and banished him to his throne world. So thats why he had to "awaken" out of his throne world before he could come back. This is why we only had to kill him in his throne world
-
4 RepliesEdited by MrKnackebrod: 6/27/2016 9:03:23 PMDo we know anything about why Eris has three eyes?
-
1 ReplyThanks ! This is the final puzzle piece I needed to put the story together! If anyone wants to see the whole story, read the comments on the topic I posted about this subject!
-
4 RepliesSo were we the ones to let Eris out of the temple when we opened it or did she escape before then? Secondly why did Crota's soul need to be summoned back in awakening if he was never killed in the first place?
-
2 RepliesThat fireteam must suck because there's so many unknown scrubs that routinely soloed Crota on HM on Twitch.
-
Very good.
-
10 RepliesSo, the dead titan you see in the dark beyond mission is Vell Tarlowe, no?

7 RepliesQuestion: Why did we take separate entrances to get to the bottom of the Hellmouth? They entered through the Temple of Crota's front door, but we plunged through a dramatic floating bridge portal.

23 RepliesThanks for the write up, this would make a cool short movie for destiny. Also the VoG first raid team story
