Prison Of Elders - Tumblr Posts
Guardian Academy Headcanon: Often the academy goes on field trips with the juniors and seniors to either old Guardian raid sites that are now historical landmarks or places like the Reef which they met Mara Sov who gave them a lecture then let Petra take full charge in being their guide which was later passed down to Uldren who was visibly annoyed because Variks wasn't around to help out.
-Raid locations almost always turn into cool field trip spots. The only one that is left is The one where Riven’s happens, just because the Dreaming City is a bit of a mess
-Variks purposely leaves Uldren to deal with the kids/teenagers because 1.) he doesn’t think they’ll want to talk to him because he’s Fallen(Eliksni), 2.) he does have a prison to run, and 3.) he is not always the easiest to understand. But if kids are visiting he’ll know Uldren or Petra will come by to show them the Prison, so he’ll always have an event going on.
-When Uldren started doing the lectures, he was first really annoyed with these kids, but they eventually grew on him, and now he’s indifferent to them
-The kids really like the Queen. She only really gives a lecture and shows them the throne room, and stuff. She’ll also answer any questions and sort of tell them about stuff like the Crows, Queen’s Wraith, Corairs, etc. They really like her though because they admire her and her people because of what they have gone through and withstood
-The times Variks is around to help, he’ll lecture on the prisoners. Especially the high profile ones like the Mind Minotaur, Keksis, Silok, Skolas, Val’alrun, etc. He will also give descriptions on what and how to do the Prison because he knows these kids will one day be old enough to fight.
-Variks also, much to everyone’s suprise, really emjpys showing the kids around and talking about everything. He just really loves it
(If you couldn’t tell, I absolutely adore Variks, so thank you for this ask)
-The Leviathan raid zone is even an open field trip location. Emperor Calus will talk to the kids, and at first it was incredibly strange, but now they can visit his palace
-If the young ones are on a trip, Zavala will send at least 2 fireteams ahead to clear the areas, and kind of stick around just in case any people want to show up and try to hurt the kids
-Besides raid locations, they’ll visit old strike zones, empty crucible maps, and places like Felwinter Peak. They’ll also visit planets for overnight trips and outdoor trips.
-Older kids will get to more trips into a bit more dangerous areas. Like the Infinite Forest where Osiris or Sagira will talk, the Dreadnaught where Eros will lecture. Places that are a bit more high profile
I love hearing these ideas, and am really happy you decide to share them with me because it is just such a cool idea. I wish I had a bit better drawing skill to draw some of this, but hopefully I’ll get better so I can.
Thank you for letting me build on it too as I really adore this idea. It’s really lovely to see stuff like this in my ask, so never feel bad about asking.
Variks, The Loyal: Are you looking for the prison?
Me: No I’m looking for my heart because you seem to have stolen it
Variks: What
Me: You heard me
"Let's go to prison!"
