The Hive trace their origins to a gas giant named [[Fundament]]. Long ago, the Krill crashed their homeworld into Fundament, ostensibly to hide from something unknown. The shards of this homeworld became a number of continents that floated upon a sea called the Fundament Ocean within a layer of the gas giant's atmosphere, and the Krill eventually built a meager civilization upon them and forgot their old history. In addition to the Krill, Fundament was home to hundreds of other intelligent species, and Fundament's fifty-two moons were inhabited by a space faring species called the [[Ammonite]]s who were overseen by the [[Traveler]].<ref name="Curiosity">'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Darkness#Calcified_Fragments:_Curiosity|Calcified Fragments: Curiosity]]''</ref><ref name="Syzgy">'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books_of_Sorrow#IV:_Syzygy|IV: Syzgy]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books_of_Sorrow#XIV:_52_and_One|XIV: 52 and One]]''</ref> | |||
Life was quick and harsh for the krill. Their natural lifespan rarely exceeded ten Fundament-years, though females who ate "mother jelly" became able to spawn and live longer. In terms of environmental hazards, Fundament was almost inhospitable. The Fundament Ocean was toxic, the skies were eternally stormy, the rain poisonous and sometimes corrosive, lightning had enough power to vaporize anyone it struck, "living clouds" called [[Stormjoy]]s would prey on the populace, and the Krill frequently warred with each other.<ref name="Curiosity"/><ref name="Predators"/> | |||
The progenitors of the contemporary Hive were [[Xi Ro]], [[Sathona]], and [[Aurash]], the three daughters of the [[Osmium King]] who ruled the continent called the Osmium Court.<ref name="Predators"/> When the Osmium King was ten years old, he fell to madness, fearing an event called the Syzygy wherein Fundament's fifty-two moons would align and create a massive tidal wave, the God-Wave, that would destroy Fundament's civilizations.<ref name="Syzgy"/> [[Taox]], a sterile mother who served as the teacher to the King's daughters, feared the King's daughters were too weak to succeed the King and invited a rival kingdom, the [[Helium Drinkers]] of the Helium Court, to invade the Osmium Court, kill the royal family, and allow Taox to rule the Osmium Court as their regent.<ref name="Hate">'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books_of_Sorrow#II:_The_Hateful_Verse|II: The Hateful Verse]]''</ref> The Helium Drinkers invaded and slew the Osmium King, but the three sisters, two years old at the time, escaped on a ship and vowed to take their revenge against the Helium King and Taox.<ref name="Oath">'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books_of_Sorrow#III:_The_Oath|III: The Oath]]''</ref> | |||
After a year of traveling the sea, the sisters salvaged an ancient, high-tech ship they called "The Needle" from the Shvubi Maelstrom. Xi Ro wanted to sell it at the Kaharn Atoll, a gathering place of Fundament's many species, in order to raise enough money to hire a mercenary army, but Aurash wanted to take command of the ship. Sathona sided with Aurash, goaded on by a worm that their father had kept; the worm had washed up on the Osmium Court's shores and was seemingly dead, but Sathona could hear it speak.<ref name="Needle Worm">'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books_of_Sorrow#V:_Needle_and_Worm|V: Needle and Worm]]''</ref> Unbeknownst to Sathona, the voice she was hearing was in fact that of the [[The Witness]], a paracausal entity who sought to claim the Krill away from the Traveler; in truth, there was no imminent danger from a "god-wave" or the syzygy that would supposedly cause it. | |||
The sisters spent the next two years reactivating the ship, until Aurash decided to use it to fulfill its intended purpose: she wanted to dive to Fundament's core in the hopes of learning a secret that would prevent the Syzygy.<ref name="Sisters">'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books_of_Sorrow#VI:_Sisters|VI: Sisters]]''</ref> | |||
As they descended, the sisters encountered a vast creature called the [[Leviathan (Fundament)|Leviathan]], a disciple of the [[Traveler]]. The Leviathan warned the sisters against proceeding further, telling them that they faced a choice between the Sky and the Deep, the Light and the Darkness, the way of life and the way of death. The sisters rejected the Leviathan, unable to accept that allowing their people to suffer was the better way, and instead decided to follow the worm Sathona had saved, which urged them to continue diving.<ref name="Dive">'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books_of_Sorrow#VII:_The_Dive|VII: The Dive]]''</ref><ref name="Leviathan">'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books_of_Sorrow#VIII:_Leviathan|VIII: Leviathan]]''</ref> | |||

The Worm Gods claimed that they had lived and grown in Fundament's depths for millions of years, trapped by the Leviathan and the Traveler. They had called many species to Fundament, hoping one would be tenacious enough to find them. They offered Xi Ro, Sathona, and Aurash immortality if they would allow themselves to be hosts for the Worms' larvae, with the caveat that if the sisters ceased to obey their natures (Xi Ro's desire to test her strength, Sathona's cunning, Aurash's inquisitiveness), their Worms would consume them.

Against overwhelming odds, the Guardians barely succeeded in repelling their offense at the [[Battle of Burning Lake]]. Not realizing the true threat the Hive posed, they planned a counterattack on the moon. Lord [[Shaxx]], a veteran of Burning Lake, opposed this, and eventually busted in on a [[Consensus]] meeting, calling the idea of a counterattack 'madness' and said that the Guardians needed to learn about the Hive's swords and find a way to defend against them.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Inventory/Heavy_Weapons#Raze-Lighter|Raze-Lighter]]''</ref> The Consensus ignored Shaxx's warnings, and the failed attack was later called the [[Great Disaster]]. The Sword-Logic proved to be too much for the Guardians, as countless heroes fell before Crota's [[Blades of Crota|Blades]], rendering the entire battle a slaughter. In particular, the legendary [[Titan (class)|Titan]] [[Wei Ning]], was slain personally by the God-Knight himself who cracked the Moon with his sword, forcing the Guardians a full retreat from the battle. The Vanguard and Consensus then declared the Moon off-limits, where only the most elite Guardians are allowed to venture to. | ||

Understanding that there was no other choice if they wished to stop the Witness, the Vanguard reached out to Immaru and offered him Savathûn‘s body, if she were to agree to help them pass through the portal at the Traveler.

Despite the Lucent Hive and their Scorn prisoners hampering their efforts, the Guardians managed to clear the Spire, slaying its wardens, [[Dûl Alai]], [[Ur-Hiruk]] and [[Zirah]], reconfiguring the Light coursing through it using crystals the Witch Queen had made, and locate a ritual site beneath it. During this, the Guardians were given recordings of the Witch Queen by Immaru, messages she left behind in the event the Guardians ever required her aid after killing her.

Therefore, to defeat Xivu Arath, they must use the logic that the Hive God of War believes to be absolute: their Sword Logic.

Eris Morn states that there is no other way to challenge Xivu Arath, as simply maintaining their current stalemate with her or outright confronting her are not feasible, for in either case they would eventually lose. Despite fearing what will happen to Eris, Ikora reluctantly agrees to allow Eris to proceed with her ritual. Using Hive magic, Eris's body transforms with new Hive biology, capable of feeding off of the battles the Guardians partake in, allowing her to grow in strength. With the ritual complete, Eris Morn had emerged as the new Hive God of Vengeance and make a base for herself within the Throne World she would call the [[Athenaeum]] which the H.E.L.M. was connected to via a portal. | ||
To begin in the quest to make Eris stronger, the Guardians located a prison called the oubliette beneath Savathûn's Spire, which also housed various ritual sites, the [[Altars of Summoning]], and acting as her acolyte, they battled with prisoners and retainers of the Witch Queen during her earlier studies with the Light, which included Vex, the Ternary Minds, and forgotten Lucent Hive, such as [[Alak'nar]] and [[Ei Haaruz]], both Retainers of Savathûn. Defeating them allowed Eris to gain strength from the tithe system, as planned. However, Ikora remained deeply disturbed by the circumstances, seeing Eris and the Guardian revel in the slaughtering, but admits she can't deny the results. | To begin in the quest to make Eris stronger, the Guardians located a prison called the oubliette beneath Savathûn's Spire, which also housed various ritual sites, the [[Altars of Summoning]], and acting as her acolyte, they battled with prisoners and retainers of the Witch Queen during her earlier studies with the Light, which included Vex, the Ternary Minds, and forgotten Lucent Hive, such as [[Alak'nar]] and [[Ei Haaruz]], both Retainers of Savathûn.

Eris would later clarify the nature of her transformation to the Guardian, stating that her transformation didn't empower her as she expected but instead "refined" her, making Eris more herself which concerned Ikora but Eris remains resolute. She would further inform the Guardian on the nature of the Hive's Sword Logic and of Xivu Arath's devotion to it. To the Hive, the Sword Logic is the only way to prove one's right to exist while the rest die in terror but Eris state the Hive's logic is flawed as she had used it to acquire the power needed to claim her vengeance just as she did when Crota, Oryx and Savathûn were felled. Eris was able to see past Xivu Arath's devotion to the Sword Logic as a desperate, childish cry to prove it right and by using it against her would deny her it's vindication. Further, Eris states that while she may use the Sword Logic, she is using it not out of desperation as the Hive do but out of desire. Immaru, offers insight of his own but scoffs that "philosophy" will defeat Xivu Arath. He offers a recording of an argument Xivu Arath had with Savathûn not long after Oryx had been slain years ago, where Xivu Arath desired to avenge their brother just as he attempted to avenge his son but the Witch Queen mocked her desire for revenge, stating that by the Guardians killing Crota and Oryx, then both have deserved death. Further, Savathûn states that Oryx's attempts to avenge his son of his death only proved himself a hypocrite, mocking Xivu Arath for being the same. The Hive God of War however, refused to accept this believing that Eris, she who orchestrated Oryx's demise, will take up his mantle, take her "true shape" and eventually face her. The Witch Queen, however, remained unimpressed, citing her sister as "vain child" that Oryx "spoiled rotten" before stating that she will not always get her way. With the recording finished, Immaru theorizes that Xivu Arath sees Eris as Oryx's heir and that this was part of Savathûn's plan which makes the Hive Ghost wonder what the former Lightbearer is doing. | |||
With all this new insight, the Guardian continues on in their mission in gathering tithes for Eris, whether it be in Shaxx's Crucible or within the Altars of Summoning, growing stronger with each kill. In addition, Eris provides attunements for the Guardian in strengthening her powers and of their abilities in using Hive Magic. The Guardian would receive one more message from Immaru, again taunting them regarding his dislike of their alliance but goes through with the plan because his Lightbearer had ordered it, along with him to give the Guardians whatever they need, giving them another recording of Savathûn's as proof. Of course, Immaru does so in his usual brutal, matter-a-fact style, encouraging the Guardians to help Eris grow stronger with tithes, mocking them once again in being part of the Witch Queen's plan. | |||
With all this new insight, the Guardian continues on in their mission | |||
In time, Eris calls upon the Guardian in her Hive form once more within her Athenaum.

Nonetheless, Eris states that each tithe strengthens her as well as thrills her but informs the Guardians that her cards speak of change, " great shadow rises from the sea of blood", as she explains. In essence, something is coming. | ||
That something turned out to be Xivu Arath herself, as her brood managed to breach into Savathûn's Spire, looking to turn her sister's court into her battlefield. After taking out [[Molok, Edge of Xivu Arath]], the Guardians work to clear out the rest of the spire of Xivu Arath's forces even as the War God taunted them and issued her challenge towards Eris Morn. As the Guardians ascended the Spire, slaying any Scorn before Xivu Arath's brood could, the War God continued to taunt Eris, goading her to accept the Sword Logic as truth and face her as Hive, but Eris Morn refuses to give into Xivu Arath's words before threatening her that once their clash is over, she will flee, leaving the Xivu Arath's Worm to gnaw at her before she starves. Ikora claims that they must rethink their plan but Eris Morn states that they can't for Xivu Arath's presence only proves its efficacy and that while they cannot directly fight the Hive God of War, they can still hold the line against her until a way forward is found.
