Destiny 2 Lore - What happens when Cloudstriders go Rogue? You get the Uplift Coven.

Destiny 2's Lore and Story in Lightfall tells us about how some of the cloudstriders rose up against Neomuna. These rogue cloudstriders existed in the time of the cloudstrider Maelstrom and they were known as the Uplift Coven.

Neomuni: "Warlords"!

[@iponce2]

I think the best argument against "warlord prejudice" is the simple fact it was Lighbearers who worked to put a stop to the Warlords. Guardians worked hard to ostracize their extremists. Ask Citan lol

[@nullspace9927]

The problem is people fear power. The people of Neomuna are even afraid of Cloudstriders. That's why there are only ever two Cloudstriders at a given time. Because of that fear their city burns.

[@DeinosDinos]

The last contact they had with Earth before they hid themselves was that one cloudstrider who actually went to earth and removed files of Nefele Stronghold aka Neomuna aka “new world” from Rasputin’s archives. I’m pretty sure that was during the dark ages and they will have witnessed the warlord’s acts and consequences firsthand. But Jisu stabbing us in front and behind us every chance he gets is a little bit annoying.

The creation of the Cloudstriders reminds of the Spartan II (Halo) augmentation procedures especially with the drills

[@ObsoleteVodkaYT]

I'm replaying the campaign with my other two characters and realized even Nimbus admits he imagined guardians as "people with bushy eyebrows and wooden shields" the first time the player talks to him.

[@jamisoncooke1457]

Now that I think of it, nearly every superhero I can think of has a dark parallel that demonstrates the whole “making superheroes” problem.

[@beanomorph382]

This is crazy good and bring a tear to my eye. I wish bungie would put voices behind the stories I can guarantee that having the lore being spoken by actors would make the community feel more in-tuned with characters

[@justinchamberlin4195]

Okay, Guardians, nobody tell the Neomuni about Shaxx and the title he's never given up over the centuries. Don't want them getting nervous, you know. On the flip side, the interview between Jisu Calerondo and Warlord Shaxx would probably be pretty amusing.

[@Aldyssar]

just gonna go ahead and point out that one of the members of the coven was named Laghari. like Quinn Laghari, the arcivist of the Hall of Heroes. i'm guessing Laghari is the coven-members last name, wich comes with interesting implications regarding Quinn and her potential family legacy. hoping this gets explored in a future season.

The Traveller took it more as a numbers game, the more people with the POTENTIAL for protecting the light the better. It results in many more flawed people becoming Guardians with a lot of negative consequences over the years but in the end it gives both the light and life a better chance of survival in the long run.

Warlord Byf: Hoarder of Lore

[@TheManOfWar13]

Funny how they call us Warlords and some of them want us gone yet here we are helping Nimbus protect them in their cozy CloudArk while trying to also fight on multiple other fronts

[@steelgriffin7716]

Yea. That smugness. I feel it. Even when they're being friendly and helpful. Like... I honestly can't hate folks like Sid, or Quinn, or Sam. They're decent folks. But Sid commenting on how he figured that if they got involved with Earth again, it'd be them rescuing Us stuck with me. And they did see Earth at it's absolute Worst. Warlords and suffering and banditry. Rasputin unhinged and in full MIDNIGHT EXIGENT mode and so on. But they also never came back.

[@DuragTrev]

The common theme between the guardians and cloudstriders to me seem to be that you can’t choose good, you let good happen sometimes you’ll make mistakes but you’re suppose to have faith in the fact that they will be good instead of just thinking you have to force it on everyone

[@S3Cs4uN8]

While I can't say that feeling of smug superiority isn't there to me it feels like the Neomuni, and their governing council in particular, are stuck in that desperate survival mindset much the same way the Last City is. This contrasts very sharply with the glitzy, technologically advanced, golden age-esque City they live in where there is no Great Wall to keep their enemies at bay or Towers to keep watch. I do find it a little amusing though that Neomuna was able to form something that at least resembles a Representative Government in its Council, something The Last City has never experienced having been ruled by a Cadre of Misrepresantative Factions in an Oligarchy-themed Junta and now, after the factions' failed coup, The Vanguard has become Military Dictatorship in all but name.

"I have always been proud of you. From the first moment, I've been proud of you. And it was my pride, that blinded me; I loved you too much to see what you were becoming... what I was turning you into." - Strider (to Uplift Coven), probably.

I can just picture byfs guardian putting this video up on the holonet in the tower 🤣

[@kaseypischel9941]

a NONILLION nanites is insane. That’s a 1 with 30 zeroes after. The avg human body only has 7x10^27 ATOMS in it
