'''Kelgorath, Risen from Bones''' | '''Kelgorath, the Undeterred''' formerly '''Risen from Bones''' and '''Taken from Bones''', is a [[Hive]] [[Knight]] of the [[Forum:Weavers of Sorrow|Weavers of Sorrow]]. Tired of being used as [[Xivu Arath, God of War|Xivu Arath]]'s chisel to be [[Wrathborn|reborn]] or [[Taken|remade]], he would be given the chance to make a new path under [[Forum:Shin'ra, the Sorrow-Maker|Shin'ra, the Sorrow-Maker]] and serve the Weavers of Sorrow with powers of [[Forum:Corruption (element)|Corruption]]. | ||

In another tale, Kelgorath hunted an [[Awoken]] [[Techeun]] through the [[Ley Lines]] for three days. The fearful Techeun radiated a stench of fear that allowed the Knight to track her down and corner her. In desperation, the Techeun collapsed the [[Ascendant Plane]] onto him through her magic which resulted in his death. Kelgorath re-emerged in his next life with newfound determination to not be fooled again by her trick. When he confronted the Techeun a final time, the Awoken Witch mocked the Knight by saying he still bore the scarlet flecks on his chitin flesh and belittled him for abandoning his Witch Queen so quickly. Kelgorath, angered by her words, ripped off the crystal implanted on the Techeun's forehead and added it to his collection of war trophies.<ref name="Risen"/> | In another tale, Kelgorath hunted an [[Awoken]] [[Techeun]] through the [[Ley Lines]] for three days.

He then gathered these ornaments of conquests and built a shrine; deep within the Ascendant Plane, from the bones of his foes to direct his tribute and worship to Xivu Arath. As [[Soulfire]] vanished from the ground, Kelgorath placed his head against his shrine and smudged a bloodied sigil of his new Hive God to show his devotion to war. The sky around him began to churn as Kelgorath inhaled the first breath of his new life. As he prepared to face his adversary, he glanced at the trinkets of his conquests and recollected his journey from killing the Guardian and Techeun to renouncing the Witch Queen. Still determined to eliminate any traces of the heretic sister, Kelgorath wanted to make an example of his adversary, [[Hurdru]], as they still showed loyalty towards Savathûn. Through battle, he would confirm his allegiance to Xivu Arath and through blood, he would don her image of war and be one step closer to erasing Savathûn | He then gathered these ornaments of conquests and built a shrine; deep within the Ascendant Plane, from the bones of his foes to direct his tribute and worship to Xivu Arath.

Commanding a legion of Acolytes and Thralls, he slaughtered the remaining forces of [[Savathûn's Brood]] on the moon. Afterwards, he would offer the new conquest to Xivu Arath, using a ritual in which several Acolytes sacrifice themselves to invoke the God of War. She would accept her new servant and, as a reward, brought back to life [[Kudazad, Binder of Savathûn]], a Wizard of Savathûn whose skull had been left adrift in the waves of Titan and used in the ritual.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/5/23)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Deep]], Item Description: [[A Distant Pull]]''</ref> | ||
When the Hive learned of Savathûn's ambition to remove her [[Worm]], Xivu Arath ordered Kelgorath to pursue her heretic sister through the [[Dreaming City]]. [[The Guardian]] was also in pursuit of Savathûn for other reasons and entered the Ascendant Plane to bypass the Hive barricades, however, [[Crow]] informed them a Wrathborn was nearby. Kelgorath emerged from an [[Ascendant Portal]] and dueled against his new adversary with his Hive [[Cleaver]]. As the Guardian inflicted damage against Kelgorath, he gained an immunity shield thanks to [[Taken Shield Weaver]]s. The Guardian turned the tide by defeating the Wizards and Kelgorath.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/8/24)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Lost]] - [[Mission]]: [[Cocoon]]''</ref> | When the Hive learned of Savathûn's ambition to remove her [[Worm]], Xivu Arath ordered Kelgorath to pursue her heretic sister through the [[Dreaming City]].

Kelgorath would be sent screaming into his scrap of land within the Ascendant Plane. He would find himself freed of the Taken corruption as he stood before [[Forum:Shin'ra, the Sorrow-Maker|Shin'ra, the Sorrow-Maker]], who admired the shrine that the wrathful Knight made in honor to Xivu Arath. He would offer Kelgorath the choice, to take in the power of [[Forum:Corruption (element)|Corruption]], or to be cast into the endless abyss of the Ascendant Plane and die his final death. Emboldened by this choice, he would take the power of Corruption and declared that he was no longer to be the chisel of Xivu Arath, rather the Hammer of Shin'ra. | |||
