The '''Hidden Swarm''' are a brood of the [[Hive]] previously under the command of the Hive god [[Crota]] and his [[Spawn of Crota|disciples]], led by the [[Swarm Princes]] under their commander [[Sardon, Fist of Crota]]. Since Crota's [[Crota's End|demise]] and the genocide of his spawn, the Swarm became the de facto Hive power on the Moon, led by Crota's own daughters.

The Hidden Swarm are the first Hive encountered in [[The Dark Within]]. On the [[Moon]], they're the outermost defensive line, warding off anyone attempting to enter the [[Hellmouth]].<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]] - [[Grimoire:Enemies/Hive|Hive]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Hive#The_Hidden_Swarm|The Hidden Swarm]]''</ref> They are identified by their red-orange coloring and the large nails driven through their arms and bodies. This sect of Hive is encountered once more on Luna in ''[[Shadowkeep]]''; their general look is similar to before, but they now seem to have some form of spiked growth all over their bodies.

 

Following their repeated defeats and setbacks, they would fall under the sway of [[Xivu Arath, God of War]].  

When [[Crota, Son of Oryx]] and his spawn arrived at the Solar System during the [[Collapse]] and took over the [[Moon]] as their territory, the Hidden Swarm served as their beachhead force and were also tasked with protecting their newly erected lunar strongholds, the most infamous of which being the [[Hellmouth]]. As they silently built their strength over the years for a staged invasion of Earth, a [[Titan (class)|Titan]] named [[Rezyl Azzir]] happened to intrude upon the Hellmouth and met with the Hive Wizard [[Xyor, the Unwed|Xyor, the Blessed]] and her consort Knight. Though Rezyl survived his encounter, it would ultimately be Xyor's plan to curse the Titan with her dark whispers into becoming the infamous [[Dredgen Yor]].<ref> '''Bungie (2016/20/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]] - [[Grimoire:Allies/Legends & Mysteries|Legends & Mysteries]]: [[Grimoire: Allies/Legends & Mysteries#Legends and Mysteries: Rezyl Azzir|Legends and Mysteries: Rezyl Azzir]]''</ref><ref> '''Bungie (2017/28/3)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Age of Triumph]] - [[Grimoire:Allies/Legends & Mysteries|Legends & Mysteries]]: [[Grimoire:Allies/Legends & Mysteries#Legend: Rezyl Azzir - The Triumphant Fall | Legend: Rezyl Azzir - The Triumphant Fall]]'' </ref>

During the early [[City Age]], the Hidden Swarm launched their [[Seeder Ship]]s throughout [[Earth]] and engaged the [[Light]]bearing [[Guardian]]s at the [[Rusted Lands]] in the Eastern Flooded Zone; only one surviving [[Hunter]] warned the City of the Hive threat. <ref> '''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] -  [[Grimoire :Activities/Crucible Arenas|Crucible Arenas]]: [[Grimoire:Activities/Crucible Arenas#The Rusted Lands|The Rusted Lands]]''</ref>

Against overwhelming odds, the Guardians barely succeeded in repelling their forces at the [[Battle of Burning Lake]], only to fail at their counteroffensive at the [[Great Disaster]] on the Moon.<ref> '''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] -  [[Grimoire:Inventory/Heavy Weapons|Heavy Weapons]]: [[Grimoire:Inventory/Heavy Weapons#Raze-Lighter|Raze-Lighter]]''</ref><ref> '''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]] - [[Lore:Letters from Eris|Letters from Eris]]: [[Lore:Letters from Eris#Regarding the Great Disaster|Regarding the Great Disaster]]'' </ref>

Unopposed after their victory at Luna, the Hidden Swarm continued to seed their brood in secret beneath [[Old Russia]] for years, until [[Fallen]] from the [[House of Devils]] stirred them up at [[Skywatch]] much to the discovery of a newly-Risen [[The Guardian|Guardian]]. <ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]] - [[The Dark Within]]''</ref>

With word reaching the [[Speaker]] about the resurgence of Hive activity on Earth, a Vanguard scout was sent to investigate the fortified [[Hellmouth]] for answers; His trail lead him to the entrance of the [[Temple of Crota]] only to be killed by the Hive. His [[Ghost]] was held captive by [[Vurok, Eir Spawn]] who probed it of information for study; the Ghost would likewise gain glimpses of the [[Seeder Ship]]s prepared for invasion before expiring. Coming to the Moon for the first time, the Guardian would trace the deceased scout's location, where they faced Vurok and recovered the dead Ghost. From probing its memories, they soon got confirmation that the Hive were indeed preparing a second attack on Earth.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]] - [[Grimoire:Enemies/Hive|Hive]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Hive#Ghost Fragment: Hive 2|Ghost Fragment: Hive 2]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''' ''[[Destiny]] - [[The Dark Beyond]]''</ref>  

Upon further inspection of the dead Ghost's memories, the Guardian's Ghost uncovered the existence of [[The World's Grave]], a vast archive chronicling everything that the Hive had known of Earth. Delving into the depths of the [[Hellmouth]] in search of insight into the enemy, the pair killed [[Kranox, the Graven]] and loot his key to the archive itself. Upon further investigation, the two would fully realize the scope of the Hive's plans of seeding the Earth for centuries in preparation for Crota's second coming. They would warn the City of the impending danger.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]] - [[The World's Grave (mission)|The World's Grave]]''</ref>   

By then, the Hive had begun a ritual draining the [[Light]] of the [[Traveler]] using a corrupted shard of it, causing the Speaker to issue an emergency broadcast to all Guardians to stop it. The Guardian would answer the call, battling deep through the [[Hellmouth]] and into the [[Chamber of Night]] where they were successful in stopping the [[Siphon Witch]]es of their ritual.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]] - [[Chamber of Night (mission)|Chamber of Night]]''</ref>  

At the same time, the Wizard [[Mormu, Xol Spawn]] had raised an unstoppable abomination called [[Phogoth, the Untamed]], a massive [[Spawn of Crota|Crota-spawn]] [[Ogre]] bred for destruction since the Great Disaster. Because of its savage nature, Phogoth was kept alive through foul rituals of rebirth and chained up in the Summoning Pits. However, their activity quickly alerted the [[Vanguard]] who called a [[The Summoning Pits|strike]] team to action, killing Mormu and destroying her creation before the Hive could unleash it upon Earth.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]] - [[Grimoire:Enemies/Exalted Hive|Exalted Hive]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Exalted Hive#Phogoth,_the_Untamed|Phogoth, the Untamed]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]] - [[The Summoning Pits]]''</ref>

The Guardians would later come to the Hellmouth seeking [[Thorn]], the most infamous of the [[Weapons of Sorrow]] once wielded by [[Dredgen Yor]] after he was corrupted by [[Xyor, the Unwed]] into becoming a [[Guardian]] killer. After recovering the cursed [[Hand Cannon]] in the Summoning Pits and cleansing it with [[Light]], the Guardians killed the Wizard responsible for Thorn's creation as a final step to claiming the weapon as their own.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]] - [[A Light in the Dark (Year 1)|A Light in the Dark]]''</ref>

The Hive's activity were pacified thanks to the actions of the Guardians, but the threat of Crota's return remained; one which would be addressed by the former-Lightbearer [[Eris Morn]]. Having sworn vengeance on the Hive and their master Crota for the losses of her [[Light]], [[Ghost]], and [[First Crota Fireteam|fireteam]], Eris took tactical control over the [[Guardian]] operations as they work to dismantle the [[Spawn of Crota|leadership]] behind the Hidden Swarm, including the legendary [[Swarm Princes]], who forged Crota's infamous Sword) and their commander [[Sardon, Fist of Crota]], whom led the Hive spawn on Earth.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]] - [[The Sword of Crota]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2014/12/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Dark Below]] - [[Fist of Crota]]''</ref> Eventually, Crota fell to the Guardians, though word of his death would reach his father: [[Oryx, the Taken King]].<ref>'''Bungie (2014/12/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Dark Below]] - [[Crota's End]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] -  [[Grimoire:Enemies/Exalted Hive|Exalted Hive]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Exalted_Hive#Oryx.2C_the_Taken_King|Oryx, the Taken King]]''</ref>

Following a year after the Taken War and the death of their God-King, the Hidden Swarm on Earth still appear to be organized but hunkered down in their nests, and have recently gone into conflict with the [[SIVA]]-augmented Fallen [[Devil Splicers]] in the [[Plaguelands]].<ref>'''Bungie (2016/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]]''</ref> Soon enough, the ambitions of the Splicers, led by [[Kovik, Splicer Priest]], extend to experiment on not only themselves but the Hive as well, whether to control them as a slave army or to weaponize their mysterious biology. Furious, the Hive began an all-out war with the Splicers. Through the efforts of the Guardians (not out of pity), the Fallen's efforts to control or weaponize the Hive were thwarted and Kovik was killed.<ref>'''Bungie (2016/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]] - [[The Wretched Eye]]''</ref>

Years after Crota and Oryx's deaths, the Hive on Luna would remain relatively quiet. As the attention of the Guardians became preoccupied with the chaos of the [[Red War]], the conflicts on [[Curse of Osiris|Mercury]], [[Warmind (expansion)|Mars]], and in [[Forsaken|the Reef]], the Hive on Luna would be overlooked. As a result of numerous deaths, the various broods on the Moon consolidated into the Hidden Swarm, becoming the "de facto" Hive power on the moon. However, the toll of the [[Taken War]] had left the Hidden Swarm bereft of warriors of a caliber befitting royalty that could lead the Hive on the Moon.<ref name = "FiB">'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]] - [[Lore:Inquisition of the Damned|Inquisition of the Damned]]: [[Lore:Inquisition of the Damned|X: Faith in Bone]]''</ref> Crota's brood rallied around the strongest of his children: his four daughters [[Besurith, Daughter of Crota|Besurith]], [[Kinox]], [[Hashladûn, Daughter of Crota|Hashladûn]], and [[Voshyr]].<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]] - [[Toland, the Shattered]]: [[Toland, the Shattered#Quotes|"When Oryx fell, Crota's brood rallied around the strongest of his surviving children, reaffirming their belief in the logic, accepting their loss. But deep in the hearts of four of Crota's daughters - Besurith, Kinox, Hashladûn, and Voshyr - a seed of doubt quietly took root. They resolve to lead their leaderless Swarm toward a new dawn and slaughter all who stood in their way."]]''</ref> While the Swarm attempted to reaffirm their belief in the sword logic, the daughters of Crota held faith in the belief of Oryx's second coming and schemed to recapture the greatness of their lineage.<ref name="Faith in Bone">'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]] - [[Lore:Inquisition of the Damned|Inquisition of the Damned]]: [[Lore:Inquisition of the Damned#X: Faith in Bone|X: Faith in Bone]]''</ref>  

Hashladûn and her coven of sisters contemplated the inactive [[Pyramid (Luna)|Lunar Pyramid's]] power and its connection to the Darkness as a means to conjure back their grandfather, the fallen Oryx, and exact their vengeance against the Guardians for ravaging their lineage. However, the Hidden Swarm was soon marred by corruption and conspiracy from within, as a Knight named [[Zulmak, Instrument of Torment|Zulmak]] was gaining favor through combat in the Pit and threatened to succeed leadership of the Swarm much to the Daughters' contempt.<ref name="Faith in Bone"/>

Meanwhile, a coven of Hive siblings had their own conspiracy to usurp the Daughters using the forbidden art of Unmaking in defiance of Oryx's Sword-Logic.<ref name="A Sinister Plot">'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]] - [[Lore:Inquisition of the Damned|Inquisition of the Damned]]: [[Lore:Inquisition of the Damned#V: A Sinister Plot|V: A Sinister Plot]]''</ref>  

Together with her [[Deathsinger]] sister [[Ir Airâm, Deathsinger|Azavath]] and her Knight brother [[Akrazul, the Severed]], [[Malkanth, the Deceiver]] enacts a ritual to 

cleave Azavath's body together with the essence of her brother.<ref name="The Unmaking pt.II">'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]] - [[Lore:Inquisition of the Damned|Inquisition of the Damned]]: [[Lore:Inquisition of the Damned#IX.II: The Unmaking|IX.II: The Unmaking]]''</ref> Their conspiracy failed as Akrazul's rage proved too much for Malkanth to contain and the newly remade Azavath impales his blade into Malkanth's sternum, fatally killing her.<ref name="Apocrypha pt.IX.X">'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]] - [[Lore:Inquisition of the Damned|Inquisition of the Damned]]: [[Lore:Inquisition of the Damned#IX.X: Apocrypha|IX.X: Apocrypha]]''</ref> Wielding dual [[Cleaver]]s, the now possessed Deathsinger unleashes havoc upon the Pit; butchering Zulmak and the congregation of the Scarlet Court until she is unmade by the [[Deathsong]] sung by the reborn Malkanth (whose body was in turn possessed by the real Azavath and became Ir Airâm). Hashladûn and her sisters would also find the opportunity to assassinate their enemies under the chaos of Azavath's warpath. With their leadership secure, the Daughters began their plans to return their father to glory.<ref name="The Anti-Logic">'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]] - [[Lore:Inquisition of the Damned|Inquisition of the Damned]]: [[Lore:Inquisition of the Damned#XI: The Anti-Logic|XI: The Anti-Logic]]''</ref>  

Over the course of months, the Hidden Swarm constructed a massive crimson fortress, the [[Scarlet Keep]], before the [[Pyramid]] that would act as an amplifier for their magics and to immunize themselves of the Pyramid's trauma-inducing influence.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]] - [[Eris Morn]]: [[Eris Morn#Quotes|"The energy spilling from the tower suggests another purpose: I believe it amplifies Hive magic. This may be where the Hive achieve their immunity to the Pyramid's influences."]]''</ref> By then, the whole Swarm were fully radicalized under the Daughters' heretical belief in the Taken King's return and the complete disavowal of the [[Sword Logic]].<ref name="Poison"> '''Bungie (2019/9/16)''', ''[[Weblore:Shadowkeep]] - [[Weblore:Shadowkeep#Poison|Poison]]''</ref> However, it would later be revealed to every event that happened prior was all part of a massive plot orchestrated by [[Savathûn, the Witch-Queen]], to wipe the remaining heirs of her late brother's lineage at the [[Guardians]]' hands. <ref name="Apocrypha pt.XI.X">'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]] - [[Lore:Inquisition of the Damned|Inquisition of the Damned]]: [[Lore:Inquisition of the Damned#XI.X: Apocrypha|XI.X: Apocrypha]]''</ref> She would in turn manipulate [[Eris Morn]] of her curiosity into uncovering the Lunar Pyramid hidden beneath the surface.<ref> '''Bungie (2019/9/16)''', ''[[Weblore:Shadowkeep]] - [[Weblore:Shadowkeep#THE BLACK NEEDLE |THE BLACK NEEDLE]]''</ref>

[[File:HiddenSwarm.jpg|thumb|300px|Nightmares and the Hidden Swarm]]

Eventually, the discovery of the [[Pyramid]] by [[Eris Morn]] unleashed phantasmal [[Nightmares]] based on the Guardians' traumas that the Swarm could exploit. Within hours, seismic activity erupted across the Moon, cracking its surface at the [[Ocean of Storms]] and driving the Hive into a frenzy; to which the [[Vanguard]] would deploy a massive siege operation upon the gates of the Keep and secure ground at [[Sorrow's Harbor]].<ref name="A Mysterious Disturbance">'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]] - [[A Mysterious Disturbance]]''</ref>

The Guardian would soon enter the Scarlet Keep to investigate Eris' whereabouts but would soon discover the Pyramid and encounter the Nightmares for the first time, nearly getting overwhelmed as the Nightmares took the form of Crota, [[Dominus Ghaul]] and [[Fikrul, the Fanatic]]. Fortunately, Eris Morn would rescue the Guardian and soon take charge of operations against the Hidden Swarm. Gaining the Vanguard's support, Eris Morn guided the Guardians into dismantling the Hidden Swarm's power base while seeking a way to enter the Pyramid.<ref name="A Mysterious Disturbance"/>

Unfortuately, the Guardians would soon confront Hashladûn herself within the Keep, slaying the eldest of Crota's daughters at the peak of the Tower of Woe.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]] - [[The Scarlet Keep]]''</ref> Further on, the Guardians braved the darkness of the Hive's most forbidden sanctum, the [[Catacombs]], to acquire the Cryptoglyph so Eris could create armor to combat the Nightmares, slaying [[Besurith, Daughter of Crota]] in the process.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]] - [[In the Deep]]''</ref> Such actions were critical blows to the Hidden Swarm but they would remain a threat the Guardians continue to fight against as well as containing the Nightmares.

====Pit of Heresy====

[[File:HiddenSwarm6.jpg|thumb|300px|The Instrument of Torment, Zulmak]]

{{Quote|If all are unworthy, all will seek to subvert the tenets of logic in ways grand and infinitesimal, because all will revert to their truest form—all will become survivors.|Kinox}} <ref name="Apostate">'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]] - Item Description: [[Apostate#Lore|Apostate]]''</ref>

For several weeks after their sisters' deaths, [[Voshyr]] and [[Kinox]] would remain in hiding in the Pit to continue their heretical work; going against the Sword Logic for the sake of survival. Having learned from Hashladûn's failed attempt to preserve their family's past glory, Kinox took the opportunity to make use of Zulmak as their champion to rally the failing Swarm.<ref name="Heretic"/> <ref name="Apostate"/> Using demented rituals that involved sacrificing Nightmares into a crystal, the surviving daughters of Crota enacted a dark yet desperate ritual to commune with the [[Voice in the Darkness]]. However, as their [[Altars of Sorrow|rituals]] caused seismic disturbances, Eris and the Guardians were alerted to their activities.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/29)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]] - Transcript:[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hev8IF4neTw The Deepening Wake]''</ref>

Delving deep beneath the Keep, the Guardians explored the [[Pit of Heresy]] and encountered powerful Hive, Disciples of the Broken Blade. After slaying each disciple and solving intricate puzzles, the Guardians managed to reach the ritual taking place in Zulmak's lair, the [[Cradle of Damnation]]. There, the Guardians faced off with the Daughters' champion but despite his strength and the power gained from the sacrificed Nightmares, the Guardians used his own Cleavers and Hive magic against him, bringing the monster down and thwarting the ritual.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/29)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]] - [[Pit of Heresy]]''</ref> However, due to the Daughters' desire for revenge, they would remain active and plotting to attempt the same ritual over again in the unknown future.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/29)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]] - Transcript:[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=genP9gQOaL0 Lingering Torment]''</ref>

{{Quote|There it is. Along with the entire Scarlet Court. Crota's remaining children, and their spawn, can be destroyed in one fell swoop.|Osiris}}

 

In an audacious and "suicidal" move as described by [[Sagira]], Osiris descended upon the gathering as the mighty Phoenix he was and began to slaughter the court. Voshyr and her two daughters [[Yishra]] and [[Ayriax]] were the first to perish before they could even finish their incantation - incinerated by Osiris' [[Daybreak]]. Kinox was also vanquished attempting to flee into the crevices with her son [[Ulg'Urin]] and his cohort of Knights having died in defense of a massive [[Nova Bomb]]. The remaining lesser nobles were killed in the slaughter, which filled the Hive god of war with power from the Warlock's violence. Osiris was then stripped of his supers when the visage and will of Xivu Arath emanating from the large Cryptolith taunted him. Osiris was pinned and around him were cleaved Runes in the stone by the High Celebrant. In a stunning and tragic act, Sagira broke through the oppressive force Xivu projected that was slowly killing Osiris and sacrificed herself - destroying the Cryptolith and projection, saving Osiris but leaving him Ghostless. The light in the place of Sagira's sacrifice remained for days.<ref name="Immolant">'''Bungie (2020/11/13)''', ''[[Weblore:Season of the Hunt]] - [[Weblore:Season of the Hunt#Immolant Pt. 2 | Immolant Pt. 2]]''</ref>

With the demise of the Scarlet Court came the end of the Taken King's lineage with no surviving heirs of Crota left; the remaining Hive had pledged themselves to Xivu Arath as their only master. One Knight, [[Kelgorath, Risen from Bones]] would renounce his ties to Savathûn and leave the Swarm to become a powerful [[Wrathborn]] in service of the Hive god of war. According to him, Xivu Arath had rightfully avenged the deaths of Crota's kin by taking away Osiris' [[Light]] and [[Ghost]]. <ref name="Risen from Bones ">'''Bungie (2021/08/07)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Lost]] - [[Lore:Ripples|Ripples]]: [[Lore:Ripples#III - Risen from Bones|III - Risen from Bones]]''</ref>

Following the loss of the Scarlet Court, the Hidden Swarm would fully pledge themselves to Xivu Arath, countinuing to maintain a foothold in the Scarlet Keep in her name. However, the Hidden Swarm would come into conflict with the [[Lucent Brood]], the servants of Savathûn who abandoned their worms and now use the Light. The Lucent Brood intended to claim the Keep, planning on making it the center of a massive ritual using stolen Light to open a portal large enough to launch an invasion of Earth. The Hidden Swarm would fight to keep their holdings on the Moon but would also clash with the Guardians and their new [[Cabal]] allies in their efforts to stop the Lucent Brood's invasion.<ref>'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Risen]] - [[PsiOps Battlegrounds|PsiOps Battleground]]: [[PsiOps Battleground: Moon|Moon]]''</ref>
