The '''Grasp of Nokris''' is a [[Hive]] brood centered in the [[Hellas Basin]] in the polar ice caps of [[Mars]]. Dormant for centuries after the Collapse, they were awoken and acted in the name of their leader, [[Nokris, Herald of Xol]] and their Worm God [[Xol, Will of the Thousands]]. After Xol's death and [[Whisper of the Worm|defection]] to their killers, they began making desperate attempts to summon [[Savathûn's Brood]] to their aid.<ref name="Deathly Tremors>'''Bungie (2018/6/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]], Adventure: [[Deathly Tremors]]''</ref> Eventually Nokris pledged his allegiance to the Witch-Queen as her Supplicant, allying his revenant brood with hers. | |||
The '''Grasp of Nokris''' | |||
==History== | ==History== | ||
After [[Oryx]] excommunicated his son [[ | After [[Oryx]] excommunicated his son [[Nokris]] for making a heretical bargain with [[Xol]], Nokris took his followers, the Grasp of Nokris, and set out to conquer a new world in the name of his patron [[Worm|Worm God]]. Nokris chose to invade [[Mars]], and arrived at some point shortly before or during the [[Collapse]]. | ||
In defense, the [[Warmind]] [[Rasputin]] executed the SIBERIAN ENTROPY protocol, flash-freezing the entire Hive army along with Nokris and Xol. They would remain entombed within the ice of Hellas Basin for centuries, until the pulse of Light emitted by the Traveler at the conclusion of the [[Red War]] caused the ice caps to thaw. With the thawing of the Ice caps, the Grasp emerged with the goal of continuing their reason for arriving on Mars which would be to claim it - Rasputin on top of that. Over a period of weeks as the Grasp engaged Guardians as they would cut down, eventually slaying both their leadership and their Worm God. Despite the loss of their leaders, the Grasp would continue to be of nuisance to Hellas Basin with many champions and bosses in Escalation Protocoll frequently returning. | |||
With Xol having abandoned them for the [[Guardians]] and Nokris left Mars for Savathûn's [[High Coven|court]], the brood of undead Hive had quieted their activity with the [[Pyramid (Mars)|Pyramid's]] arrival.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/6/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Arrivals]], Lore: [[Lore:Duress and Egress#Ana: Black Box|Ana: Black Box]]''</ref> | |||
==Structure== | ==Structure== | ||
The Grasp of Nokris are the only known brood composed entirely of reanimated Hive with their leaders possessing the heretical secret of [[necromancy]], giving them power to continuously raise their deceased in endless cycles of death and rebirth. The majority of the undead Hive all have ice and rime fused to their chitin after centuries of being frozen cryogenically, which causes them to shatter upon killing them rather than combust into soulfire like the other Hive broods. | |||

*The Grasp of Nokris | *All the Hive within this faction are covered in ice crystals and when they die, their bodies shatter like ice. This is likely a result of being imprisoned within the frozen ice caps of Mars for centuries. | ||
*The Grasp of Nokris has a unique faction insignia distinct from [[Savathûn's Hive]]. The symbol resembles the central "eye" of [[Xol, Will of the Thousands]]. Another symbol of this faction bears the head shape and eyes of Nokris. | |||
*Many of the Hive within the Grasp of Nokris | *Many of the Hive within the Grasp of Nokris have distinctive titles in what is implied to be a Hive dialect; these titles have been identified by fans as originating from several ancient real-world languages.<ref>https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/244977779</ref> | ||
* The units of the Grasp of Nokris have slightly different sounds than Hive from other sects. | |||
