Led by [[Fikrul, the Fanatic]], and formerly [[Uldren Sov]], they orchestrated a massive breakout from the [[Prison of Elders]] and murdered [[Cayde-6]] in the process, and have since spread throughout much of the [[Reef]] and the [[Dreaming City]]. Most recently, many have become enthralled under the influence of the [[The Witness|Witness]] and its [[Disciples of the Witness|followers]], using them as pawns against the [[Guardian]]s and the turncoat [[Hive]] God, [[Savathûn]]. | ||

===Assaulting the | ===Assaulting the Ley Lines=== | ||
After the [[Endless Night]], a large number of Scorn would attack the Ley Lines situated in and around the Dreaming City. Led by [[Kruutiks, Reefbane]], they would also attack the Blind Well directly. Even worse, they seem to have made a pact of nonaggression with the Hive and Taken, if not an outright alliance. They would also somehow gain access to the Ascendant Realm and take over the [[Shattered Realm|Debris of Dreams]] located in the Shattered Realm. After multiple expeditions to the Shattered Realm, it was learned the Scorn seemed to be evolving. They were seen to have been mining Ascendent energy from the Realm, as well as engaging in a fighting pit that appeared to run on Sword Logic rules. The latter of which heavily suggests the Scorn are developing their own culture. Eventually, when the day of the [[Exorcism]] arrived, the Scorn participated in the final assault alongside the Hive and Taken but were ultimately driven off. | After the [[Endless Night]], a large number of Scorn would attack the Ley Lines situated in and around the Dreaming City.

Though the Scorn failed in aiding Calus in seizing control over the Lunar Pyramid, the Scorn would in time serve a new master in preparing for the Witness's return, the Hive God of War, Xivu Arath. To supplement her forces, Xivu Arath consolidated her Wrathborn forces in seizing control over the Warsat Network as [[Rasputin]] remained incapacitated since its failed effort to stop the Black Fleet's initial arrival. To aid her efforts, Xivu Arath assumed control over most of what was left of the [[House of Salvation]], after their leader, [[Eramis]], failed in her mission to claim the relics containing the pieces of the dead Disciple, [[Nezarec]] before the Guardians. To further punish Eramis for her failure, Xivu Arath killed a number of Salvation Fallen and resurrected them as Scorn, some of whom Eramis had known personally. | Though the Scorn failed in aiding Calus in seizing control over the Lunar Pyramid, the Scorn would in time serve a new master in preparing for the Witness's return, the Hive God of War, Xivu Arath.

Fighting alongside the War God's Wrathborn forces, the Scorn would seek out one of the Warmind's creators, [[Clovis Bray I]], and subjugate him to grant Xivu Arath full control over the Warsat Network and turn its arsenal on the Last City. However, the Guardians, Ana Bray and Osiris also sought out Clovis to conscript his aid in restoring Rasputin. After rescuing the scientist, Clovis would direct the Guardians to locate the [[ | Fighting alongside the War God's Wrathborn forces, the Scorn would seek out one of the Warmind's creators, [[Clovis Bray I]], and subjugate him to grant Xivu Arath full control over the Warsat Network and turn its arsenal on the Last City. However, the Guardians, Ana Bray and Osiris also sought out Clovis to conscript his aid in restoring Rasputin. After rescuing the scientist, Clovis would direct the Guardians to locate the [[Submind]]s that have the data needed to repair Rasputin and regain his control over the network. One submind, [[Malahayati]], was located on Luna, within a Seraph vault and it was guarded by the Scorn, led by [[Once-Phyris, the Exhumed Tether]], a Captain and Marksmen that once served under Eramis. Despite Phyris' efforts, the Guardians slayed her and recovered the submind's data. Further, Mara theorizes that without Phyris acting as a nexus of control, her hold over the Scorn on Luna will weaken for now. | ||
Another former lieutenant of Eramis' would be resurrected as Scorn to serve Xivu Arath and the Witness's plans: [[Praksis, the Technocrat]] now dubbed as the Defiled, much to the Shipstealer's dismay. Praksis would be charged with guarding the Nexus Control hub of the Seraph Station, clashing with the Guardians as they infiltrated the space station to plant a virus and gather intel regarding a Clovis Bray weapon. Despite Praksis's efforts and Stasis powers, the Guardians would slay him again. | Another former lieutenant of Eramis' would be resurrected as Scorn to serve Xivu Arath and the Witness's plans: [[Praksis, the Technocrat]] now dubbed as the Defiled, much to the Shipstealer's dismay.

During the | During the aeons, Savathûn had amassed several specimens within her [[Savathûn's Spire|Spire]] and [[Altars of Summoning]], including several powerful Scorn, to study their ability of resurrection to see if it was similar to the Necromantic powers [[Nokris, Supplicant to Savathûn|Nokris]] wielded. She would also conduct various experiments, which continued even in her absence. Vanguard forces would [[Savathûn's Spire (activity)|storm]] these [[Altars of Summoning (activity)|areas]] to harvest the Scorn as tithes to [[Clash of the Hive Gods|empower]] [[Eris Morn]] into a God of Vengeance to rival Xivu Arath. | ||
===Hunting Riven's eggs=== | |||
After Xivu Arath was banished from her [[Black Terrace|throne world]], the Scorn would continue to spread corruption in the Dreaming City. Managing to find a way into [[Riven's Lair]], the [[Locus of Subjugation]] would lead Scorn in an attempt to steal an egg of Riven. But, they would be killed by a Guardian fireteam. | |||
During the Dark Age, a castle belonging to a [[Warlord]] named [[Naeem]] was attacked by the House of Kings, with the Warlord herself being killed in the process. With her dying breath, she wished for vengeance. Many years later, after the Witness entered the Traveler and Xivu Arath was banished from her throne world, the remains of the [[Ahamkara]] [[Hefnd]] would grant this wish after luring the now leaderless Taken to the castle. He fed on their desire for a purpose to corrupt the dead House of Kings into Scorn. Those resurrected in the castle seemed to develop a culture surrounding Hefnd's bones, placing them in shrines across the castle and worshipping Chieftain Totems that held bone fragments within Taken Blights. | |||
The news of these Scorn on Earth would eventually catch the attention of Fikrul, who has been leading a crew of his own Scorn independent from the Witness after fleeing the Tangled Shore. Aboard a stolen Ketch, he tasked five powerful Chieftains dubbed Knights to bring the Scorn to them before the Witness could claim them. However, the Knights would be broken and fall under the control of Hefnd. They would fight alongside the Dragon's Scorn and the Taken, only to be cut down by a Guardian fireteam sent to investigate the ruins. | |||
When the Techeuns pulled the final egg out of the Ley Lines and into the [[Caliginous Expanse]] within the court of Mara Sov, the Scorn would infiltrate the Awoken Queen's court with the purpose of retrieving it. However they would quickly come into conflict with the Guardian, who would slay the Plaguewielders and enter the portal into the Catacombs. It becomes apparent that tho most of these Scorn were raised by the Witness, some of them bear Fikrul's mark. Upon arriving at the Caliginous Expanse, the Guardian engages with [[Elikaa, the Pale Rot]], who was attempting to make a wish using the final egg. Despite it's resilience, it is unable to defeat the Guardian and is slain in a fearsome battle. Successfully retrieving the final egg, the Guardian makes the fifteenth wish to pursue the Witness. Despite their failure to make the wish, the Scorn would continue their assault within Riven's Lair, now being directed by the agents of Fikrul. | |||
