The broods on the Moon would be consolidated into the ranks of the [[Hidden Swarm]], but they would retain their faith in the [[Sword Logic]] while the daughters of Crota [[Hashladûn, Daughter of Crota|Hashladûn]], [[Besurith, Daughter of Crota|Besurith]], [[Voshyr]], and [[Kinox]] held faith in the belief of Oryx's return, and schemed to return their linage to greatness. They planned to use the power of the [[The Lunar Pyramid|Lunar Pyramid]] to conjure back their king. <ref> '''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Inquisition of the Damned#X: Faith in Bone|Faith in Bone]]'' </ref> | ||

The Witch Queen would also offer them the essence of Zulmak so he could be resurrected as a puppet champion and a choir of [[Deathsinger]]s led by Ir Airâm. The Daughters would accept, successfully unite the Hidden Swarm under their leadership and begin constructing the fortress known as the [[Scarlet Keep]]. However, unknown to them, this was a trick by Savathûn as she was the one who influenced the three siblings and placed Azavath in the body of Malkanth with the promise she would lead the choir. This was done so they would attract the attention of the Guardians who would kill the Daughters of Crota as she believed Oryx's bloodline had done its course. <ref> '''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Inquisition of the Damned#XI.X: Apocrypha|XI.X: Apocrypha]]'' </ref> | ||

Going deep into the Scarlet Keep, the Guardian would encounter [[Nightmare Thrall|strange Thralls]] that [[The Ghost|Ghost]] stated we’re not actually Hive and had an unfamiliar energy signature.

Seeking to end this, Eris would explain that they must breach the Lunar Pyramid. | ||
