The Fourth Horseman quest and what it tells us?

So I'm sure by now we've all done the quest, slogged through the legendary lost sector (i say slogged, that really only applies to those who have yet to "no life" the season) and now have a semi-good auto shotty that is pretty good against bosses. But the quest actually informs us of two major things regarding the Cabal. So through the text given to us via interaction with one of the 3 vendors related to this quest, we learn 2 very big things that haven't entirely been too clear up until now. 1) Calus is rebuilding his Shadows. & 2) The Princess Imperial is 100% alive. Now in reality, none of these are very surprising; we knew Calus wanted to rebuild the Shadows with us at the helm of their rebirth but it looks like he's already putting things into work, which now makes sense for Werner's existence (which always confused me regarding his title because it implies that Calus regards the Frames as a species onto themselves, which I never really thought of. But it also never really suggested he was truly making a new wave of Shadows without us to lead it.); and Caiatl was never stated as dead in any of the Leviathan Raid lore, but I know it's been brought into question by some people. So what does this mean for destiny? Well it means what we already knew. There is definitely a seat of power for the Cabal at Torobatyl, and that seat is held by Caiatl now. Which now puts her as a possible threat to invade Sol. It would make sense as well, given that she has a motive. Destroying her Father. And this could be where both story points come together in a future season/expansion. The obvious alternative is for us to go on the offensive this time and attack the Cabal home-world alongside Calus. But we are definitely a while away from this whole idea. So yeah. Just a few nice little detail about the quest; I'm hoping this season will give us more information on the state of the Cabal's higher ranks.

  • Be interesting to see another side of an allegiance story where we join Calus' shadows and fight with his cabal on the homeworld. Or stand by the vanguard and ignore Calus
