{{quote|Look at you! Already you are grown, my daughter, already you are a wizard. Have I been away so long? Now you are Ir Anûk, and Savathûn cackles and rages at your brilliance. You have written eleven axioms describing the ascendant places, our throne world. You have announced that you will kill one of these axioms, as Akka would kill the truth, and in mantling Akka you will become a God, as I am. If you try it I may kill you, or I may applaud. Well done.|Oryx}} | |||

'''Ir Anûk, Deathsinger''' is one of [[Oryx, the Taken King]]'s two daughters, created after Oryx cut a larvae in half. The Deathsinger sisters are first encountered in [[Last Rites]], when the player is infiltrating [[Crota]]'s death ceremony. They are found next to Crota's tomb and have to be avoided. Together with her twin sister [[Ir Halak, Deathsinger]], she is encountered and killed in the [[King's Fall]] [[Raid]] in [[Threshold]]. | |||

Ir Anûk and her sister Ir Halak were created from the same larvae cleft in two by Oryx's [[Cleaver|sword]], Willbreaker. He praises them for their cunning and intellect, especially Ir Anûk, for her ambitious methods of becoming a god—she wrote out the eleven axioms which described the [[Ascendant Realm]] and plotted to kill one. Oryx commended her by saying he may kill her for trying. | |||

Later, as Oryx wrestled with his worm, Ir Anûk and Ir Halak began to die repeatedly in a certain place, ostensibly for no reason. When asked what they were doing, they launched into a highly technical description that Oryx eventually forced them to conclude simply: "''If we hide our deaths from ourselves, we become harder to kill.''" Thus came about the birth of the first prototype [[Oversoul]].

When asked what they were doing, they launched into a highly technical description that Oryx eventually forced them to conclude simply: "''If we hide our deaths from ourselves, we become harder to kill.''" Thus came about the birth of the first prototype [[Oversoul]]. Oryx ordered his son Crota to watch his sisters, fearing they were trying to go to the [[Darkness|Deep]], and to learn cunning. | ||
Unfortunately | Unfortunately it was Crota who needed watching. He began to conspire with his sisters and thought rashly he too would seek for himself a power. Using his sword he cut a hole in the Ascendant Realm, and unwittingly let in the [[Vex]], who mocked his attempts to contain him by simply [[Blink]]ing away from him whenever he attacked. His sisters went to help him, Ir Anûk created an [[Annihilator Totem]] while Ir Halak called upon their fellow Deathsingers and they fought the Vex, who learned all too quickly how the Realm worked, and proved difficult to dislodge. | ||
Later, to protect his Realm, Oryx built the [[Dreadnaught]]. Ir Anûk and Ir Halak built the weaponry and internal systems for the ship, allowing Oryx to concentrate his Ascendant power and obliterate any foe. | Later, in order to protect his Realm, Oryx built the [[Dreadnaught]].

Finally, billions of years later, Ir Anûk and Ir Halak barred the way to their father by challenging the [[Guardians]] sent to kill him. As their father's last line of defense they used their Deathsongs to fight and unwrite the Guardians. They were eliminated, and the way to Oryx, the Taken King was clear. | |||
