The Story of Gjallarhorn, seems like a good time to talk about it

If there is Beauty in Destruction, why not also in its delivery - Feizel Crux Chapter 1: Twilight Gap Twilight Gap. The Last Cities greatest battle for survival happened here. Many guardians lost there lives trying to hold fortifications, only to be overrun. Today we will talk of Battle where the brave fell, Heros rose and legends where born. When you walk around the Tower the beauty of it really dosen't show that it is in fact a Military Installation with Guns at the ready. There was an Instance where the Fallen decided that they would take the remnants of the Golden Age. The Fallen would set aside their pride and work with each other to claim the Last City. The Fallen Houses of Winter, Kings, Devils, and Wolves would have been an unstoppable force of military might and that is what they counted on. What they did not anticipate however was the Loss of Ceres. Chapter 2: The Scatter From the Records of the Awoken, The Maraid book 7 chapter 10. The transmission was broadcasted on all Fallen frequencies. Lacking, at the time, the ability to crack Fallen encryptions, the Master of Crows, Prince Uldren could discern only that the Fallen Houses were all talking to each other. That was a thing that had never happened before. Then the Techeuns looked Earthward—and saw the Fallen there becoming bolder. Tactics suggested they were planning a massive attack. We had no interplanetary arrays—no way to warn Earth. We thought we would be able to do nothing but watch. But then the Wolves arrived from the Jovians. Their army was hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions strong: a dark wave that washed over the Reef, rushing toward the Earth. As soon as we saw them it was clear that if the Wolves reached Earth, the City would fall. Seemingly oblivious to the Awoken's existence, the bulk of the Wolf fleet stopped to regroup at Ceres. The Queen's decision was this: attack the House of Wolves, thereby saving Earth but revealing the Reef's presence to any and all enemies in the quadrant; or remain silent, preserving the Reef's invisibility but allowing the City to perish. It was here that Queen Mara Sov said several memorable quotes In her encounter with the House of Wolves Kell Virxas. The Wolf Kell, practical, brave, tallied strength of metal and equipment. The Kell considered the chance that the Awoken have some secret weapon, something gleaned from hulks in the Reef or whispered up by the witches, and set that chance aside. The Kell thought the House of Wolves could win decisively. So the Kell sent a challenge and warning. I AM LORD OF WOLVES, the Kell sent. YOU ARE AN EMPTY THING WITH TWO DEAD SOULS. THIS IS MY HOUSE. THESE ARE MY TERMS. SURRENDER AND I WILL ONLY TAKE YOUR SHIPS. The Awoken fleet cut their engines and began to Drift. Wolf strike elements, torpedo-armed Skiffs hidden under jamming and camouflage, found their firing solutions and prepared to attack. Then the Queen's ship broadcasts. Queen Mara said I AM NOBLE TOO, OH LORD OF WOLVES. The Kell didn't mind a little banter before the kill. It would give the Wolf ships longer to draw the battle away from Ceres. The Kell replied, "YOU HAVE NO LINE. YOU HAVE NO POWER." Virxas's Captains and Barons signaled their readiness, Skolas and Pirsis and Irxis, Drevis, Peekis, Parixas, all of them bound by fear and loyalty, all were ready for war. "STARLIGHT WAS MY MOTHER AND MY FATHER WAS THE DARK" the Queen's ship whispered in eerie erratic radio bursts. Servitors begin to report a strange taste in the void. Here, at last, too late, the Kell began to feel fear. CALL ON THEM, THEN, the Kell sent, one last mocking signal before death and ruin, AND SEE WHAT HELP THEY OFFER. So the Queen called, as only she could. Every Servitor in every Ketch hears it. Every Captain and Baron roars at their underlings as sensors go blind, as firing solutions falter, as reactors stutter and power systems hum with induction. Stealth failed. Space warped. The House of Wolves shouts in spikes of war-code, maneuvers wild, fires blind. Behind the Queen's ship, the Harbingers awaken. Her Harbingers ripped into Ceres, destroying the asteroid and killing Virixas, Kell of Wolves and more than half his House. The remaining Wolves scattered, burrowing deep into the Belt for cover. There, new claimants to the Kellship quickly arose: Irxis, Wolf Baroness; Parixas, the Howling; and Skolas, the Rabid. In the end the Queens attack on the Wolves kept them from joining in the Battle of Twilight gap and sealing the fate of the Last City. The fallen would remember the destruction of Ceres and the splitting up of forces. The Fallen would call it the Scatter. Chapter 3: The Battle Undaunted by House of Wolves absence, the attack would still commence. The House of Devils, the scourge of the City, the shadow below our walls,would lead the battle at Twilight Gap. The Fallen Swarmed in large numbers but it was when the Walkers showed up that momentum swung in their favor. Walkers are immediate and deadly threats, having ended the Light of countless Guardians. The Fallen do not hesitate to deploy them to provide overwatch for their salvage and extraction crews. Walkers are also commonly used as blocking forces to guard key Fallen assets. At the Battle of Twilight Gap, Walkers engaged in a thunderous artillery duel with the City's gun positions. This defensive battery once held the front line against the combined might of the Fallen Houses. It was overrun during the course of the invasion, many Guardians lost their lives to hold the line. This Post is now known as Twilight Gap, named for the great battle. Many Guardians Fought and met their fates that day. At the desperate battle, Warlocks worked in concert to shatter the enemy. It was not quite enough. A special cloak known as the strength of the pack was a pattern worn by Ana Bray during the fateful battle. Its worth noting that Ana may have been related to Elise Bray, creator of the Eon Trespass, and Clovis Bray the scientist. The Battle continued as the Fallen pushed to the Walls. Saladin Forge led the City's defense during the Battle for the Twilight Gap. His protégés, Commander Zavala and Lord Shaxx where also present for the Battle. Zavala's brutality was beautiful in the defense of the City. Both Saladin and Zavala held the Line, it was Lord Shaxx that went on a counter offensive. This was a bold move since it goes against the logic that saved the city at the battle of Six Fronts. Lord Shaxx counter attack pushed the Fallen from the City Walls. To this day Saladin remains close to Zavala, though his relationship with Shaxx has been strained since the Twilight Gap. It could be speculated that Saladin disagreed with Shaxx's actions at the Battle. Though the Battle had been won it was not without great cost and new lessons learned. One of the Osiris Cultist Sister Lupe had said "Though the City won a great battle at Twilight Gap, it lost an even greater mind." referring to the Exile of Osiris shortly after the battle. Twilight Gap changed things. It highlighted the desperate need for proactive strikes to keep the enemy off balance. Chapter 4: The Gjallarhorn Feizel Crux, a Gunsmith, wanted to create a tribute to those who fell. A shoulder mounted rocket system intended to be a gift to Guardians who fought at the battle. Something that would be Art as a Weapon. He named it Gjallarhorn after the old Norse Myth. It was a horn used by the Norse God Heimdall to warn the City of the Gods, Asgard, about an incoming attack. Warriors would answer the call of Gjallarhorn and stand to defend the city. It would be a fitting name. In his design notes he wanted the Gjallahorn to represent honor, pride, glory, and hope, and that these are things not given but earned. Forged from the Armor of those that fell, the Gjallarhorn would be a symbol of Survival. The weapon has tracking Rockets and special cluster Missiles that would also track targets. The munitions would be called Wolfpack rounds. It would carry the Crest of Alpha Lupi and multiple golden wolf heads, one for each day of its creation. Gjallarhorns were given to those Lucky guardians who survived a brush with true death. When you hold the Gjallahorn to your shoulder you have placed a wolfpack of departed guardians by your side. When Gjallarhorn calls, its wolfpack will answer.
