The Harmony had a relationship with the [[Ahamkara]], whom they called upon to grant wishes in times of need. An Ahamkara bone originating from the Harmony would one day make its way into the hands of Emperor [[Calus]] during his tenure as ruler of the [[Cabal]].<ref>'''[[Beloved (lore)|Beloved]]''', "[[Beloved_(lore)#I_am_a_few_days_older.|I am a few days older.]]"</ref>

==History==
==History==
[[Oryx, the Taken King]] used his newly-built [[Dreadnaught]] to destroy the Harmonious Flotilla when the latter gathered to defend the [[Nicha Thought-ship]]. Oryx boarded the Thought-ship to learn the location of the Gift Mast, but was ambushed by the Vex Mind known as [[Quria, Blade Transform]]; it is unknown if the Harmony was actively allied with the Vex, or the Vex independently prepared the ambush. After dispatching Quria, Oryx assaulted the Harmony core worlds.<ref name="Forty One"/>

[[Xivu Arath]] led the offensive and the Harmony defended themselves with the Sting; but her attacks stalled fifty years on as the Harmony turned to "[[Ahamkara|dragon-wishes]]", allowing their "wishful bishops" to challenge Xivu Arath directly in her Ascendant Realm but she was ultimately victorious. [[Savathûn]] then infiltrated Ana-Harmony in secret and set up Hive covens that sowed chaos among the Harmony for a century, and in the process, she acquired an unknown secret. Oryx had his broods colonize the rubble of the black hole's accretion disk, allowing them to direct asteroids at the Harmony's fleets and worlds. When they had been weakened sufficiently, he deployed [[Seeder Ship]]s and invaded the Harmony outright. When Oryx toppled the Gift Mast, the remaining Harmony reportedly despaired and drowned themselves.<ref name="Forty Six">'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] - [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books of Sorrow|Books of Sorrow]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books_of_Sorrow#XLVI:_The_Gift_Mast|XLVI: The Gift Mast]]''</ref>
