The '''Court of Savathûn''', also known as the '''High Coven''', is the [[Ascendant Realm|Throne World]] of [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen]]. After she was revived as a [[Lightbearer]], Savathûn reforged her throne world with [[Light]] instead of [[Darkness]]. It was added as a [[Destination]] in ''[[The Witch Queen]]''.

==History==
===Realm of the Witch Queen===
{{Expand-section}}
As with her siblings [[Oryx, the Taken King]] and [[Xivu Arath, God of War]], Savathûn created her Throne World within the [[Ascendant realm]] using the power of her [[Worm]] symbiote and her own force of will. It served as a refuge for her soul should she ever be killed in battle, as well as a means of connecting the far corners of the Hive's dominion in the physical plane.

After the Hive's defeat of the civilization known as the [[Harmony]], Savathûn flew her fleet of [[war moon]]s into the black hole at the center of the Harmony's system, after which her Throne World became "distant" from those of her brother and sister.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books_of_Sorrow#XLVI:_The_Gift_Mast|XLVI: The Gift Mast]]''</ref>

Following his defeat on [[Mars]], [[Nokris, Supplicant to Savathûn|Nokris]] was drawn to a [[Court of Savathûn (Io)|simulated singularity]] of the High Court and made a pact with Savathûn, taking command of her [[Taken]] forces sent to the [[Cradle]] on [[Io]]. The fabricated version of Savathûn's Court would act as the staging ground for her [[Interference|interference]] against the [[Black Fleet]] and the [[The Witness|Witness]]'s communications with the Guardian.

===Reforged in Light===
After Savathûn's death and subsequent resurrection by her Ghost Immaru the Witch Queen retreated to her Throne World. There with the help of her brood Savathûn began reshaping her Throne World in the image of the Light, bringing to life huge ghostly cathedrals which rose from the dark swamps below. 

However Savathûn's control of the Throne World was not absolute, the dark swamps where her Light had not touched became infested by the Scorn, who now served [[The Witness|the Witness]] and its [[Disciples of the Witness|disciple]] [[Rhulk]]. Thus Savathûn's Throne World became a battleground, as the Hive and Scorn vied for control.

==Overview==
{{Article quote|The inner workings of Savathûn's mind, brought to life within a mysterious throne world of her own making.}}
Savathûn's Throne World consists of three main public areas, each with a [[Lost Sector]], five private areas accessible during Patrol, and a few more that can be accessed as part of Missions. The main enemy factions are the [[Hive]]'s [[Lucent Brood]] and the [[Scorn]]. Throughout the destination, one can find clouds that can be interacted with using the power of [[Deepsight]] to reveal a number of secrets, sometimes including platforms that may be necessary to progress through an area.

The destination vendor is [[Fynch]], located in the [[Quagmire]]. The destination's resource is [[Fundamental Osmium]].
