Hashladûn began as an abnormally large and strong [[Thrall]], ''"huge of crest and thick of arm"''. Viewing this as excessive, her father Crota ordered her ritually mutilated ''"in the old way of floods"'' in order to reduce her to a normal size and strength, and sent a hundred Thrall, ten [[Knights]], and an [[Ogre]] to retrieve her. Hashladûn fought off the entire force, but was left exhausted; after that, Crota himself came for her, impressed but unrelenting, and took her to a floodplain deep within the [[Ascendant plane]], where she was impaled and exposed to the paracausal tides of the Sea of Screams, flooding her body five times with caustic and harmful substances. | Hashladûn began as an abnormally large and strong [[Thrall]], ''"huge of crest and thick of arm"''.

On witnessing her crawled back to his throne world, Crota stated: ''“You are great now, and you cannot love Me. For the parts of you that were Mine have been taken from you; the parts that were [[Oryx|His]] remain.”'' With all ties to Crota severed by the floods, and therefore rendered closer to Oryx, Hashladûn was sworn into her grandfather's [[Court of Oryx|court]] much to her father's joy and grief; Knowing that she can never set foot in his court again. | ||
It is largely unknown what role Hashladûn played in her grandfather's court but she was presumed dead by the Guardians since Crota's fall. | |||

Unable to accept a world without their King, Hashladûn and her sisters enacted a plot to recreate their deceased grandfather in the form of a phantasmal [[Nightmare]]; a necessary violation of the [[Sword Logic]] since the Taken King was never succeeded by his killers. They also believed that Oryx might yet truly resurrected, having been defeated before and returning to life through sheer will and tribute in his name.<ref name="FIB">'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Inquisition_of_the_Damned#X:_Faith_in_Bone|X: Faith in Bone]]''</ref> | ||
As the coven of sisters worked to enact their sinister plot, they were still left to deal with conspirators and contenders for the vacancy of a champion left by their late father. Many of the Hive that still held to the old beliefs in the [[Sword Logic]] gave way to gladiatorial combat in the [[Pit of Heresy|Pit]] beneath the Keep, though none of the sisters believed any were worthy of their father or grandfather's succession. Hashladûn and her sisters attended the Pit to witness the gladiatorial games, and silenced Besurith and Voshyr as they expressed doubts about the fighters when the games began.<ref name="II: An Audience with Slaughter">'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], [[Lore | As the coven of sisters worked to enact their sinister plot, they were still left to deal with conspirators and contenders for the vacancy of a champion left by their late father.

Of the greatest contenders was the Knight [[Zulmak, Instrument of Torment|Zulmak]], whose triumphs in the Pit threatened to upend Hashladûn's plans if anointed a new Hive champion by the majority of the Swarm. Hashladûn judged Zulmak a great warrior but lacking the cunning of Crota and Oryx and turned to leave the Pit alongside her sisters, which prompted much of the congregation to do the same.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], [[Lore | Of the greatest contenders was the Knight [[Zulmak, Instrument of Torment|Zulmak]], whose triumphs in the Pit threatened to upend Hashladûn's plans if anointed a new Hive champion by the majority of the Swarm.

Taking advantage of the ensuing chaos, Hashladûn and her sisters assassinated their perceived enemies, leaving the Akrazul-possessed Azavath to take the blame and none left to challenge them.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Inquisition_of_the_Damned#XI:_The_Anti-Logic|XI: The Anti-Logic]]''</ref> | ||

She encouraged her nieces to seize control of the Hidden Swarm themselves and be the strength the Hive needed to challenge the [[Light]] with a mighty new [[Scarlet Keep|fortress]]. Additionally, she offered a boon in the essence of the fallen Zulmak, to be raised as a puppet champion for the Swarm. Intrigued but weary of her aunt's schemes, Hashladûn questioned what role the heretic Azavath-reborn [[Ir Airâm, Deathsinger]] would play, as they killed their maddened brother Akrazul with the [[Deathsong]]. Savathûn offered her as a second boon as the head of the reformed Choir, a legendary group of [[Deathsinger]]s to be used as another weapon in their upcoming battle against the Guardians.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Inquisition_of_the_Damned#XI.X:_Apocrypha|XI.X: Apocrypha]]''</ref> | ||

After [[Eris Morn]]'s discovery of the Pyramid unleashed its phantasmal power, Hashladûn utilized the great tower of the Scarlet Keep to channel its energy for their experiments, which helped the Hive summon [[Nightmares]] of great power near the Keep based on the fears and past foes of the Guardians.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]]'', ''[[In Search of Answers]]''</ref> Using the [[Cryptoglyph]], Hashladûn experimented with the creations of the ancient Pyramid and found no hope of truly restoring Oryx and Crota through their power. However, she and her sisters embraced Savathûn's gifts and began crafting what remained of Zulmak into a fearsome champion of their own design and under their control. Through her experiments, Hashladûn distilled the primordial essence of terror and contributed it to Besurith and Voshyr reshaping of Zulmak's husk.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Heretic]]''</ref> | |||

When the Guardians invaded the moon to challenge the Hive's resurgence and the appearance of the Nightmares, Hashladûn personally encountered [[The Guardian|the Guardian]] who slew her father, mother, and grandfather at the bridge to the Keep. Retreating to the top of the spire, Hashladûn lures the Guardian and their fireteam to her position to finally claim her revenge for her ravaged lineage. Having gathered potent energies to amplify her powers, the Inundated summons waves of Hive reinforcements to swarm her enemies and use her magic in several attempts to knock them off the tower. In her quest for vengeance, however, Hashladûn met her demise in flames much like her family. From her remains, the Guardians found a tablet containing evidence of the [[Cryptoglyph]] hidden at the bottom of the [[Hellmouth]].<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[The Scarlet Keep]]''</ref> | |||
