Hereafter Lore

Interesting in design, The hereafter is a Sniper with some interesting lore. “Huddled at the mountain's base, we had no choice but to beat our ploughshares into swords once more.” Once, we had peace. This isn't a story about peace. Then there was darkness, destruction, despair. This isn't a story about those things either. This story comes much later. It's a story about what was here, after, And what came next. The Quote is a parody of a quote in the bible: "And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and He will teach us of His ways, and we will walk in His paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. And He shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more."—Isaiah 2:3–4 In reference to the Grimoire card this is the saying that military technology was used to better civilian life, but then when the darkness came causing the collapse, but during the dark ages this weapon came into creation using salvage of the golden age. that explains the graph on the scope and the blinking antenna. The color scheme and recticle lead me to believe it is an early Hakke weapon, but until more is known of Hakke's origins nothing can be assumed. It is important to note that Dark Age weapons were built using poorly understood technology and this weapon signifies that well, having been built using Civilian technology. Hope you enjoyed this little tidbit and have a great day. Edit 1: routine cleaning.

  • As @No U said, Hereafter is another word for Heaven. Why would people of the Dark Ages hold it so highly? Also, was this the around the time that Takanomes rangers protected the rufegee roads to the city. The Rangers are noted to primarily use Sniper rifles. My own theory is that the Hereafter was born when the golden age was coming to an end before the Collapse. During the Golden Age, humanity was going through a great period of peace, and as Fallen crews slipped onto our planets. Space agencies needed a weapon to issue to colony ship crews and other colonies. Enter Herafter and Zhalo supercell(ill explain). What do both have in common? You guessed it! ARC ELEMENTAL!!!! Perfect for Fallen captain shields. And the Zhalo, it appears that the zhalo was a mass produced standard issue Autorifle that was standard issue to the troops of Old Russia. With the Fallen and those pesky Arc D Sheilds entering the fray, a weapon capable of Arc damage needed to be produced and distributed. Why produce a whole new weapons system when you can just stick a go-cart battery(golf cart/definitely russian possibly a jew) to an already existing weapon. So, im just thinking that both the Hereafter and Zhalo were created out of the same purpose, to counter the fallen. Now, i realize that i may be incredibly far from anything even remotely close to truthful.

        • By the way hereafter is another word for heaven. So that's why it's from the bible.
