Savathûn then brought her warship, [[The Lure|the Lure]], over the skies of the recently reappeared Mars.

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 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. | Eventually, the Guardian would come across the Witch Queen's plan to move [[The Traveler|the Traveler]] from the [[Last City]].

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. | Meanwhile, the Lucent Brood also started deploying outside the Throne World.

When Commander [[Zavala]] contacted Empress Caiatl to | When Commander [[Zavala]] contacted Empress Caiatl to give an explanation about the attack on her forces on Mars, he also requested the [[Imperial Cabal]]'s help into 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]], in order 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 in accordance to the Cabal's 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. | 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. | ||

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. | 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.

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.

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]]. | 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.

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]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2024/06/04)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Final Shape]] - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Chirality#Old_Friend,_Beloved|Old Friend, Beloved]]''</ref> | 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.

Despite the key role Ghosts play in the strength of the Lucent Brood, they generally receive little respect from their Lightbearers, in contrast 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'/> | 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.

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. | 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.
