Quest- Blighted

The Oryx encounter in the raid has a chance to drop a 'Blighted Shard.' You can turn it into the Speaker for Vanguard rep. However, if you go to Eris (she won't have a marker over her head) she'll tell you the history of the gun that the shard came from.

"You... the Blight rejects you. You are strong... killer of Oryx, this shard respects you!"

You get a mission from her. She tells you to go to Earth, where you go through the area of the Omnigul strike. Fallen have taken up residence there. You clear them out and Eris appears in a cutscene.

She steps out a dark corner in the room, walking towards and then passing you. She stares at the ground, her back turned to you.

"The shard has bonded to your will. It is bound to those who have made great triumphs or great failures. You slayed the Taken King. Now, this shard calls into question..." she turns and takes a step toward you.

"Was that ultimately the right decision?"

Northbot pipes in. 

"I do not doubt your decision. You have given me hope when there was none. Remember what you did here, so long ago? Omnigul's shrieks... though it has been so long... they scar my mind. However, you gave me peace. The whispers of the Hive are silent to me now. This shard whispers to me in the way the Hive did. But it answers to your will. It hungers... it wishes to feed. Seek the Speaker. He shall know your path."

-the Guardian now has a waypoint on the Tower, but you can do whatever until you return to the Tower. Going there triggers a cutscene-

The Speaker: "Guardian... you have brought a shard of Oryx's power to the City! Why?"

Ghost: 

S: "Hmm... this is intriguing."

(If the Guardian has ever acquired the Thorn, Ghost says- )G:  (The rest of the dialogue does not change due to this line.)

S: "Alright, Guardian. Your abilities are to be trusted. But you will be tested at times through this journey. You may require some assistance. At any time, feel free to come to me. I will help you to the best of my ability."
