#Warlord’s Ruin

[winnower-winnower]

“This is all that remains of the Ahamkara, then. Even like this, in its silence, it could move worlds.”

This is a piece I made for the @onelastwishzine zine! This painting explores a sort of divergent scenario for the events leading up to the Warlord’s Ruin dungeon, in which Hefnd had been left to fester alone in his desire for retribution. Poisoned and corrupted by taken energies into a monstrous reflection of his former shape, he waits for the day when he can finally rest, and see his dear friend Naeem once again.

I had an absolute BLAST working on this project alongside all the other artists and writers who participated, I’m so happy with how this one turned out!

Please be sure to check out the full zine and the wonderful submissions from all the other creators!

2014-2017 WoW lore is so funny because it would be someone saying something like "DNI if you think any of this character's actions were justified. I am NOT arguing about this anymore, you all make me sick." so you google the character and open images and you just get this

oh yeah destiny is a multiplayer game

Hii! I was hoping for a cassian x reader fic where maybe their little baby girl is about to get her ears pierced...the baby is like a toddler and cassian is freaking out over this....you know those tiktoks of those dad's that are crying while their baby girls are getting their ear piercings and how they look like they are in more pain than the baby....

Overprotective daddy.

Cassian x f!Reader

Warnings; a bit of angst and needles.

Masterlist.

My heart melted. I haven't been around kids lately so I hope this is correct.

You had no idea when the two and a half years passed and your baby girl could walk and communicate. You were exhausted but every time she gave you a toothy grin you knew that you would never change a thing. Alette is the spitting image of her daddy, black hair, golden-brown skin, big hazel eyes and membranous wings. Lately she has been begging you to get her ears pierced and you weren’t surprised at all. Even though she is a daddy’s girl she always watches you when you get ready, frequently asking to try on your heels and jewellery. When Cassian heard her request his face paled and he immediately left the house and came back with multiple pairs of clip-on earrings.

“Here babygirl you can wear those.” He had said with a hopeful smile that turned into a frown when Alette burst into tears.

“I want to wear mommy’s earrings” she had cried out and Cassian’s heart broke even more when she pushed him away and ran to you.

✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧

Cassian couldn’t sleep, he kept tossing and turning leaving huffs and sighs. “Okay enough, what’s wrong?” you groaned.

“She hates me” he exclaimed with wide eyes.

“Baby, she is a toddler she gets angry when we say no to her.” You sighed “and let’s not forget that she is a daddy’s girl.”

Cassian smiled at that. “Hopefully she will forget all of this tomorrow.” He mumbled and pulled you in his arms.

“I’m taking her to the jewellery store tomorrow to get her ears pierced.” You informed him. Cassian’s eyes almost fell out their sockets and he pushed you away sitting up.

“What?” he exclaimed.

“All the females around her have their ears pierced it’s not a big deal” you shrugged.

“You want to create holes on my babygirl?” he shouted and pushed a hand through his hair.

“Baby you are overreacting” you rolled your eyes.

“No I’m not! You are not taking her there.”

“Okay but don’t act hurt when she pushes you away again.” You mumbled and turned your back on him.

“She will?” he asked, and you hummed. “Okay we will take her there together” he continued and laid down again.

At some point you kicked him out of the bed, you couldn’t sleep with his tossing and huffs, so you got up, picked a new blanket from the closet and threw it at him.

“Let me get some sleep” you shouted and pointed at the door.

✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧

Morning came and Alette burst in your room with a huge smile on her face.

“Mommy mommy, wake up.” She shouted and jumped on you.

“Good morning little bat” you smiled.

“Earrings” she shouted with a giggle and her wings fluttered.

“Alright, let mommy get dressed. Go find daddy to make you breakfast.”

She hurried off shouting “Daddy” again and again.

You shook your head and got ready. Cassian was brushing Alette’s hair when you found them.

“Ready?” you asked.

“Yes” she smiled, and Cassian sighed.

Your mate picked both of you up and shot up to the sky, he was flying way slower than usual, probably praying that Alette would change her mind. She didn’t and when you all landed in front of the store Cassian’s wings slumped behind him.

The lady who worked there smiled when she saw Alette and picked her up.

“Your momma came yesterday and told us that you are a big girl now and you want to get your ears pierced.”

“Yes” Alette giggled, and the lady placed her on a chair, she picked a case with multiple pairs of earrings and showed it to Alette. Your daughter picked a simple pair with red stones and showed it to Cassian. “Look daddy we will have matching stones.” She exclaimed and Cassian grinned.

“Yes baby.” He cooed and ruffled her hair.

The lady smiled and picked a new needle, Cassian’s grin turned into a frown and his breath hitched.

“Okay take a deep breath sweetheart.” The lady told Alette and touched the needle on her lobe.

Cassian took a step back his face paling and he gripped your hand tightly.

“I think daddy needs to take a deep breath too.” You giggled and caressed your mate’s arm.

The moment the needle pierced Alettes ear Cassian tensed, and a tear fell from his eye.

“Very good” the lady cooed, and Alette kept smiling completely unaffected. “Now I will pierce the other one” she informed her and your babygirl nodded eagerly.

She got the needle through the skin and Cassian gasped, his big palm covering his eyes.

“I can’t watch this again” he whined.

“Its okay baby, its done” you said softly, and Cassian peeked from the space between his fingers.

“Daddy look they’re so pretty” Alette exclaimed as she saw her reflection on the mirror.

“You are what makes them pretty” Cassian smiled and picked her up, leaving a soft kiss on her cheek.

You paid and left the store.

“I’m so proud of you” you told Cassian. “Why?” he asked.

“Because you didn’t faint” you burst into laughter and Alette giggled too.

“S’ okay daddy don’t be scared I will never let a needle hurt you.”

Hope you enjoyed it!

Dungeon is really good! I'm enjoying it immensely! Everyone in the mood for some fantasy ACTUAL dungeon crawling DnD style will love it! Beautiful location, really fun encounters that feel WAY more fair and approachable than many other dungeons and some incredibly cool lore.

The way you collect lore is also interesting; you can't just get in and grab what you need to understand everything, it's tied to a quest that requires multiple runs. This may be annoying if you don't have your own fireteam, but it's a really nice way to experiment with lore delivery; with each clear you continue a quest and can search for hidden rooms and then inside you get a collectible and can listen to dialogue that is explaining the stuff about the dungeon. The only lore tabs are on the exotic weapon and the exotic Ghost shell; everything else is dialogues to listen to. I'll put the lore tabs below and also add some stuff that I've learned so far. I'm missing final three dialogues as it takes some time to collect everything for the quest. Spoilers under:

First of all, the speculation was wrong! Nobody was correct! The castle isn't Shaxx's and Shaxx wasn't involved and he's not on comms. Strange, but I personally don't mind it that much. The dungeon is led by Petra and Crow, mostly because it's focused on an Ahamkara. The setup is that Scorn were detected on Earth where they haven't been before and then it's discovered that they were drawn to an old Dark Age castle that used to be owned by a Warlord. This Warlord is a new character called Naeem and she lived there with an Ahamkara (Hefnd) with whom she struck a deal with.

The Ghost Shell (Zira's Shell, I assume Zira was the name of Naeem's Ghost) explains that another Warlord killed Hefnd and then told Naeem about the whereabouts of its bones and she went there and claimed the castle and the Ahamkara. She made a deal with the Ahamkara to feed on her, infinitely (because she can just keep dying over and over), instead of making other people suffer for the wishes they make. So like if someone makes a wish with Hefnd, the backfire should go to Naeem. Hefnd agreed. Super interesting insight into Ahamkara. While super grim, it shows that Ahamkara are capable of partnership with people instead of just messing with them for no reason.

The Scorn are interesting because the first boss is called Rathil, First Broken Knight of Fikrul. In one of the lore dialogues, Petra and Crow also discuss Fikrul and it's finally explained that he simply vanished from the Reef and nobody knows where he went. So this is some really interesting setup going on right now, which makes sense given that the second episode is going to be about him (barring any changes in schedule and plans ofc). Furthermore, Fikrul is featured on the lore for the exotic weapon from the dungeon and it's the first and most comprehensive answer to the question of where he is and what he is doing. And it's kinda sad ngl! Rathil was a Scorn guy he called "son" and tasked with bringing back Scorn from Earth because he didn't want Darkness to "claim them." I assume that refers to taking. It's interesting because it would mean that Fikrul is not very fond of the Witness and isn't working with/for it. Speculation for now, but that's how it read. The first dungeon boss and some of the enemies needed to activate damage phases are all Fikrul's guys from the lore tab.

The final boss is a chimaera manifested by Hefnd and we defeat it, but the bones remain and they're being siphoned by Taken energy. The Taken appear half-way through the dungeon and it's unclear what they're doing and why they want the Ahamkara. Perhaps to prevent us from messing with Ahamkara to get through the portal? I assume the Witness would know that Ahamkara could help us follow it, so some sort of contingency plan. Super excited to continue playing tomorrow and get the last three dialogues. Really loving the Fikrul update. It feels so good to know that they're laying the groundwork for the hinted episode that will feature him.

Imagine being a crawler and your two warlords in the faction wars are a codependent duo made up of a man that is literally insane and a talking cat. I know the dungeon is ridiculous at all times but that might've been my last straw

[kb1301]

I GOT TO RANK 9!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's some celebratory selfies with my Warlock's husband, Shaxx.

AND ALSO SOME DETAILS!

Doing Crota's End AND Salvation's Edge was real fun! The encounters I did earlier were the latter half of the raids, having done the former half of it some days ago!

AND. AND AND AND!

I got EUPHONY! THE RAID EXOTIC FROM SALVATION'S EDGE!

FIRST TRY.

I definitely think the RNG gods have told me "you get this now and you won't be getting anymore next time."

All in all, it was fun! And great! And lovely!

this won’t make sense to non-destiny players but last night i got booped so hard out of the map in warlord’s that i died to turnback

reverse skydiving

[lucentmothman]

So I spend all of my solo play time in Warlord’s Ruin. All I need is the solo triumph and I’ll have the title. I think I’m pretty decent at it, now.

All that to say, if anyone needs help running Warlord’s Ruin or wants to farm it (standard or expert) I’m down to play with strangers. Just shoot me a message.

I can play as a warlock (preferred) or a titan.
