History of II - Wake

Overview

II - Wake is a triumph in Destiny 2 that presents chapter II of the lore book Acts of Mercy. The book was introduced in Season of the Risen, which ran during The Witch Queen. The chapter is written in third person and follows Saladin as Isirah, his Ghost, speaks to him in dialogue.

Lore

Saladin wakes in a burning forest after his rocket strikes a cliff, and Isirah calls the fight a loss rather than a draw. The two decide to keep sweeping east for the source of a weak Golden Age broadcast. Saladin pulls the fire out of a scorched pine with his Light so the tree can heal. A frightened villager named Kepre recognises him as an Iron Lord and offers food in exchange for help. Thieves have taken a pig and much of the village's dried meat, and Saladin agrees to track them down. Isirah then finds that the transmission comes from the village longhouse.
