The '''Lucent Brood''' or the '''Lucent Hive''' is a [[Hive]] sect found within the [[Court of Savathûn]]. They are distinguishable by their dark blue/alabaster white armor and grey skin, along with the neatly patterned grey/white spikes on their armor.

Uniquely  among the Hive, the Lucent Brood have been gifted with the powers of the [[Light]] and are capable of raising some of their members from the dead as '''Hive [[Lightbearer]]s''' through the use of their own [[Ghosts]]. Even their living members could be imbued with Light by [[Lucent Moths]], increasing their power.<ref>'''[https://www.gamesradar.com/destiny-2-witch-queen-preview/ Destiny 2 Witch Queen Preview]"''': ''Destiny 2: The Witch Queen improves on Beyond Light to set up "the beginning of the end"'' (''"Normal enemies like Knights and Acolytes have gotten a power boost, too, with moths of Light granting them overshields and other abilities that change up the usual flow of combat. "'' )</ref><ref>'''[https://www.gameinformer.com/2022/02/01/destiny-2-the-witch-queen-preview-riddles-wrapped-in-a-mystery Destiny 2: The Witch Queen Preview – Riddles Wrapped In A Mystery ]"''': ''Destiny 2: The Witch Queen Preview – Riddles Wrapped In A Mystery'' (''"Meanwhile, more standard Hive enemies will get powered up by moths that infuse them with Light. "So, you might fight an Acolyte who is charged with Light, and when you defeat that Acolyte, then the moth comes flying out, and it seeks to infuse its power into another one of the nearby combatants, or it comes after you and tries to detonate," Tsai explains."'' )</ref> They play a prominent role in ''[[The Witch Queen]]'' and ''[[The Final Shape]]'' expansions, as well as the seasons of ''[[Season of the Risen|the Risen]]'' and ''[[Season of the Witch|the Witch]]''.

==History==
===Origin===
[[Savathûn, the Witch Queen|Savathûn]]'s Lucent Brood first appeared in the Throne World of the Hive Witch Queen after she was granted the Light. The members of the Witch Queen’s [[Savathûn's Brood|former brood]], who still remained loyal to her after her betrayal to [[The Witness|the Witness]] would rally to her Court. With the help of her Ghost [[Immaru]], Savathûn summoned many Ghosts to her strange Throne World. These Ghosts spread throughout the High Coven and resurrected many Hive as their Lightbearers, which became known as the Lucent Brood. These new risen quickly settled into positions of power, becoming trusted lieutenants of the Witch Queen. Savathûn began to restructure her Throne World using the Light, trapping [[Rhulk, Disciple of the Witness]] into his [[The Sunken Pyramid|Sunken Pyramid]] in the process, and placing two [[Lightbearer Knight]]s at the entrance of [[Disciple's Bog]]. The [[Disciples of the Witness|Disciple]] responded by attracting the [[Scorn]] into the High Coven, where they started battling the Lucent Brood for supremacy. According to [[Osiris]], the [[Grasp of Nokris|brood]] loyal to [[Nokris, Supplicant to Savathûn|Nokris]] was also consolidated into the Lucent Brood through Nokris's bargain with Savathûn before the Witness captured [[Mars]].

===War in the Throne World===
Savathûn then brought her warship, [[The Lure|the Lure]], over the skies of the recently reappeared Mars. The [[Red Legion]], on orders from [[Empress Caiatl]], quickly boarded the ship, only to be pushed back by the Hive Lightbearers. When [[The Guardian|the Guardian]] infiltrated the ship, the Lucent Brood tried to push them back, to no avail. They would eventually find Savathûn as she left the bridge of the ship via a portal. A Lightbearer Knight soon appeared to confront the intruder, but was unable to stop them and had their Ghost crushed. The Guardian would furthermore push into the Throne World, intent on finding out how the Hive gained access to the Light, and they found the Lucent Brood fighting against the Scorn.

Eventually, the Guardian would come across the Witch Queen's plan to move [[The Traveler|the Traveler]] from the [[Last City]]. The Lucent Brood again tried to stop their advance, first into the [[Apothecary]], and then into the [[Sanctum of the Brood Queen]], helping the Witch Queen's ritual in the process, but the brood's defenses were overcome, and the Guardian managed to ruin the ritual by confronting the Witch Queen with the truth about the origins of the Hive, destabilizing her, and then killing her. However, before they could kill her Ghost, he disappeared in the flash of light as the spell broke, leaving Savathûn's body behind. Although the Brood had lost its Queen, Immaru has now taken the reins of their operations and continues to direct their efforts in pushing out the [[Vanguard]] and the Scorn alike.

===Operation Elbrus===
Meanwhile, the Lucent Brood also started deploying outside the Throne World. [[Mor'ak, Lightstealer]] led attacks in the [[European Dead Zone]] with the intent of stealing the Light of [[Guardian]]s deployed there. The harvested Light would then be sent to the [[Cosmodrome]], to be processed and purified by [[Uul'nath, Lightcleanser]]'s group. The stockpile of Light was to be used by [[Korosek, Thronebringer]] to attack the [[Scarlet Keep]], taking it from the hands of the [[Hidden Swarm]], and manifest the High Coven there. This would've given the Brood a position from which to easily siege the Last City and take the Traveler by force.

When Commander [[Zavala]] contacted Empress Caiatl to explain the attack on her forces on Mars, he also requested the [[Imperial Cabal]]'s help in combating the Lucent Brood's threat. The Guardians deployed in [[PsiOps Battlegrounds|operations]] against the Lucent Lightbearers, using [[Psion]]s to enter the Hive's [[Mindscape]] and sever its connection with the Light. The Psions would then abduct these Hive and keep them in suspended animation in the [[H.E.L.M.#Psisorium|Psisorium]], to probe their minds and understand the Lucent Brood's plans. After several weeks, the alliance would discover the brood's plans for the Scarlet Keep, and intervene, stopping the Thronebringer and the brood's plans. However, the captured Lightbearers, along with the Psion probing their minds, would be killed in an accident by [[Uldren Sov|Crow]], putting the alliance at risk. Hearing of this, Caiatl demands Crow's life per Cabal customs. Fortunately, [[Saladin Forge|Lord Saladin]] managed to appease Caiatl by offering his own life in Crow's place. The [[Cabal Emperor|Empress]], impressed with the [[Iron Lord]]'s bravery in the face of death, accepts. She claims that Saladin's life is forfeit, but as a member of her [[War Council]] for the rest of his days, saving the Vanguard's alliance with the [[Cabal]].

Though their alliance was saved, any of the Lucent Lieutenants that would be captured would instead be incinerated instead of putting them through a psychic analysis.

===Sails of The Shipstealer===
After being thwarted from taking over the Scarlet Keep, the Lucent Brood turned their attention to the relics of [[Nezarec, Final God of Pain|Nezarec]]. While unsuccessful in stealing a relic from [[Alaaks, the Beast Tamer]] and her crew, a force led by [[Ei Arat, Trespasser]] succeeded in taking a relic from [[Vrisk, the Coward]]. They were quickly cut down by the Guardian, who needed the same relic.

Later, after the Guardian had been successful in claiming all but one of the relics, the Lucent Hive led by [[Hiak'ar, Hoardseeker]] infested the asteroid [[16246 Cantor]] as they searched for the last relic. [[Eido]] was there to claim the relic herself, but was rescued by [[Eramis, Kell of Darkness]] and the Guardian, who killed Hiak'ar.

The reason why the Lucent Hive were after the relics is currently unknown, but [[Drifter]] speculated that they wanted the power of the relics to free them from  Savathûn's control.

===Ghosts of the Deep===
After failing to claim the pieces of Nezarec, the Lucent Brood would remain relatively quiet even as the Witness finally reached inner [[Sol System|Sol]] and the [[Shadow Legion]] invaded both [[Earth]] and [[Neptune]]. Though the Traveler would be claimed by the Witness, [[The Coalition|the Coalition]] remained determined to find a way to follow it and prevent it from enacting the [[Final Shape]]. However, following [[Titan (moon)|Titan]]'s return and reuniting with [[Sloane|Deputy Commander Sloane]], handling a surge of [[Xivu Arath]]'s forces in the process, the Vanguard discovered that a Lucent [[Hive warship]] had entered Titan's atmosphere and then descended within the depths of the moon's methane seas. The Guardians were tasked to descend into the deep, reach the Hive warship and discover what the Lucent Hive were planning. 

After reaching the Lucent Hive Ship, the Guardians discovered that the Lucent Hive had found the corpse of [[Oryx]] himself and were attempting to conduct a brute-force approach in resurrecting the [[Taken]] King. To defend their ritual, the Lucent forces had deployed various Hive commanders, some of which were former servants of Oryx resurrected with the Light, including [[Ecthar, Sword of Oryx]] and [[Vorlog]], along with a servant of Nokris, [[Šimmumah ur-Nokru]], who was leading the ritual. Despite their efforts, the Guardians managed to disrupt the ritual after slaying the head of the ritual and informed Sloane of this development. Alarmed that the Lucent Hive nearly resurrected one of the Guardians' most dangerous foes, the Deputy Commander took this information to [[Ikora Rey]], who ordered her [[Hidden]] to secure Oryx's remains for study and have it locked away in a secure Vanguard vault like with the Taken King's sister.

===A Tenuous Alliance===
The Lucent Brood would soon clash again with the forces of the Vanguard, when [[Eris Morn]] sought an alliance with Immaru, following [[Ahsa]]'s revelations. However, the First Ghost would accept only on the condition that they deal with Xivu Arath first, as Savathûn asked him to. Despite this agreement, the common troops of the Brood would continue their assigned duties, standing in the way of the Guardian as they sought access to [[Savathûn's Spire]]. Several Lightbearer Hive would stand in protection of the [[Court of Thorns]] and were thus slain in battle. Several more continue their studies within the Spire, reacting violently to the disruption of Fireteams coming to learn more of the Light.

It would be revealed that a few of her own brood were trapped by Savathûn within an arcane oubliette, a prison where they would be forgotten until the need for them arose. Guardians would use the [[Altars of Summoning]] under the Spire to call forth these champions and slay them, alongside other trapped creatures, using their deaths as tithes to strengthen Eris Morn, Hive God of Vengeance.

Ultimately, Eris Morn would gain the strength she needed not only from the Guardians' tithes but also from killing a revived Savathûn, who hadn't been killed by a Hive since the day her worm was severed from her being. In that act, Eris gained a millennia's worth of power, enough to surpass Xivu Arath herself. Instead of confronting the Hive God of War, Eris Morn weaved a spell that severed Xivu Arath from her [[Black Terrace|own Throne World]], rendering her mortal and vulnerable. With their bargain fulfilled to an extent, Savathûn kept her end by giving the Vanguard the secret they needed to pass through the portal on the Traveler before escaping. However, as part of a peace offering and to "keep up appearances", Savathûn offered the Vanguard custody of Immaru. In this, the Vanguard agreed, as keeping Immaru would allow them to sever Savathûn's connection to the Light should she do anything to endanger [[Humanity]].

The Guardians would continue to partake in the Altars of Summoning to prevent the Witch Queen from gaining tithes to aid her research on the Light within her Spire, clashing with the imprisoned Lucent Hive in the process. Savathûn would likewise continue to observe, comment and taunt the Guardians' efforts as they battled with her Lucent Hive, whom she referred to as the Guardians' "cousins".

===Operation Ahamkara===
Previously during the events of the [[Invasion of Neptune]], members of the Lucent Brood would be pulled into the Pale Heart after infiltrating the [[Black Fleet]] on the orders of Savathûn. Notably a Hive Lightbearer known as [[Luzaku]] would be changed from an Acolyte to a Wizard upon her entry. Thinking about the possibilities of change in the Sky, Luzaku decided to break off from her Brood and would be drawn to [[The Blooming Deep|the Blooming Deep]].

Later, the Guardian would arrive at [[The Landing|the Landing]] in search of a fissure of Light in an attempt to commune with the Traveler. Upon entering the [[The Forgotten Deep|the Forgotten Deep]], the Guardian would fight their way through the Lucent Brood and step in the pools of Hive magic to lower the barrier. They would then arrive in another room and slay [[Ei Räkosh, Banisher of Memory]] to make their way to the fissure, however, they would discover that it had been restrained by the Witness.

In the [[The Impasse|the Impasse]], the Lucent Brood would engage in a ferocious conflict with the [[Taken]] and [[The Dread|Dread]]. Eventually, within the mountains, they would be confronted by a Guardian fireteam hunting a Tormentor blocking a path to the Witness's [[The Monolith|Monolith]]. The fireteam would dispel three Lucent Seals to lower a barrier and would continue to slay swarms of Hive in pursuit of the Tormentor. Later [[Sardul, Acting Expedition Commander]] and its forces would ambush the Guardians during their battle against [[Kataxiia, Tormentor of the Ahamkara]]. However, their endeavours would be in vain as they would quickly be slain by the fireteam, who would go on to defeat the Tormentor shortly after.

Later Savathûn and further forces of the Lucent Brood would enter into the Pale Heart and agree to a "temporary alliance" with the Coalition to vanquish the Witness and its followers. Despite this short-term alignment, the Witch Queen would continue her schemes by sending her forces to assault [[The Lost City|the Lost City]] to test the Guardian's strength. To bring an end to her schemes, the Guardian disrupts Hive rituals by empowering different elemental runes before confronting Savathûn on the city's [[The Lost City, Outskirts|outskirts]]. After briefly engaging with the Guardian to test their battle prowess, the Witch Queen and her forces eventually decide to retreat. On the orders of Mara Sov, the Guardian would be sent to pursue the Lucent Brood and uncover the secrets of Savathûn's plans. Eventually, the Guardian and Mara discover the existence of Light fissures that exist outside of the material world.

When a Guardian fireteam succeeded in uprooting the Witness's hold over the Traveler, Savathûn and her forces would unite alongside the Coalition to defeat the Witness once and for all. Ultimately the Guardians succeed in unmaking the Witness by destroying the statues holding its consciousness together and harnessing the Traveler's Light. With the death of the Witness, the Lucent Brood would intend to claim control of the Pale Heart, clashing against the Guardians, and the united Taken and Dread.

==Structure==
The organization of the Lucent Brood appears to be largely unchanged from the standards set down by Oryx, the Taken King in the [[Books of Sorrow]], with a hierarchy of powerful [[Knight]]s and [[Wizard]]s leading groups of [[Acolyte]]s and [[Thrall]]s, and their patron god, in this case Savathûn, the Witch Queen, holding absolute authority.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books_of_Sorrow#XX:_Hive|XX: Hive]]''</ref> Even the [[Worm]]s and the tithe system remain in place, at least for the regular Hive. However, the presence of Lightbearers in the hierarchy has had unexpected effects on these. Light exerts a ''"negative pressure"'' on the tithe system, moving ''down'' the hierarchy of its own accord such that even living Thralls may be infused with traces of Light. Furthermore, the worms of such infused Hive appear to be sated indefinitely and make no further demands for bloodshed or violence, as one affected Thrall claimed. The presence of Light within non-Lightbearers was initially mistaken for theft, leading to several summary executions.<ref name = 'Specter'>'''Bungie (2022/02/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Lucent Tales#Specter|Specter]]''</ref> Lightbearer Hive themselves no longer have worms at all.<ref>'''Bungie (2024/06/04)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Final Shape]] - [[Lore]]: [[First Ascent Suit (Hunter)]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2024/06/04)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Final Shape]] - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Chirality#Old_Friend,_Beloved|Old Friend, Beloved]]''</ref>

Despite the key role Ghosts play in the strength of the Lucent Brood, they generally receive little respect from their Lightbearers, in contrast as to how Guardians generally treat their Ghosts as friends and confidants. The Lightbearer [[Ubartu-ana]] treated his Ghost with contempt and suspicion, and named them [[Krill (Ghost)|Krill]] as an insulting comparison to the ''"small and useless"'' proto-Hive species. Krill's discovery of Lucent Moths was later credited to Ubartu-ana.<ref>'''Bungie (2022/02/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Lucent Tales#Krill|Krill]]''</ref> The Hive Ghost [[Specter]] felt that ''"Hive prefer talking to their own and don't respond to things—even things that bring them back from the dead,"'' and assumed their partner, [[Nabenki]], had fallen ill when they began behaving more respectfully towards them.<ref name='Specter'/>

This attitude is not without exceptions, as seen most notably with Savathûn and her Ghost Immaru, who considered each other friends and equals.<ref>'''Bungie (2022/02/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Lucent Tales#Immaru|Immaru]]''</ref> Furthermore, Immaru's status as First Ghost gives him command authority over the Lucent Hive, even after Savathûn's death, and he can frequently be heard giving orders to Hive soldiers during patrols in Savathûn's Throne World.<ref>'''Bungie (2022/02/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]]''</ref> However, Immaru's orders are not entirely absolute as the Lucent Hive will carry out any order the Witch Queen had previously given them even if it means going against any current command Immaru attempts to give, such as standing down during his tenuous alliance with the Guardians. 

Another notable distinction of the Lucent Brood is their willingness to use methods and techniques that the rest of the contemporary Hive species views as heretical, unsurprising given how they already wield the Light. This includes necromancy that they had learned from members of the Grasp of Nokris who joined the Witch Queen.

Several Hive and Ghosts such as [[Luzaku]] and [[Fynch]] made the conscious objection against the brood's blind zealotry to Savathûn and adherence to the sword logic, instead choosing a pacifistic route to ally with their enemies and making their own fate in turn. In pursuing their own path against the Hive's dogmatic ways, the Witch Queen openly commends Luzaku as the first of her brood for actively seeking her own personal truth; setting an example for her subjects to follow instead. <ref>'''Bungie (2024/06/04)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Final Shape]], [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKejUKb6jBY The Blooming Deep {{!}} Savathûn: "You Don't Need Me"]''</ref>

==Trivia==
*The pervasive presence of churches, shrines, and praying statues in the architecture of the Throne World, along with the use of water as a resurrection-related element, may indicate the existence of a more complex religious system than those typically encountered in other [[Hive]].
*Members of the Brood appear to resemble the [[Hidden Swarm|previous]] [[Spawn of Crota|Broods]] [[Blood of Oryx|of]] [[Silent Brood|Sol]] rather than their [[Savathûn's Brood|ancestral counterparts]]. 
*The three main examples of Lightbearing Hive (Knight, Wizard, and Acolyte) are analogues of the three guardian classes (Titan, Warlock, and Hunter, respectively).
**It is likely for this similarity that Savathûn amusingly called her Lucent Hive Lightbearers the Guardians' "cousins".
