| 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]].

| 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.

| 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.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/5/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Deep]] - Item Description: [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/rise Rise]''</ref> | | {{Hide|title= Season of the Deep Spoilers|After failing to claim the pieces of Nezerac, the Lucent Brood would remain relatively quiet even as the Witness finally arrived in the Sol System and the [[Shadow Legion]] invaded both Earth and [[Neptune]].

| 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 to 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.

| ===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.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/8/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Witch]] - [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPrwuAJOx6s Opening]''</ref> 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]].<ref>'''Bungie (2023/8/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Witch]] - [[Way of the Witch]]''</ref> 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.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/8/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Witch]] - [[Savathûn's Spire (activity)|Savathûn's Spire]]''</ref>
| |
| | |
| 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.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/8/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Witch]] - [[Altars of Summoning (activity)|Altars of Summoning]]''</ref>
| |
| | |
| 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.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/8/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Witch]] - [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPrwuAJOx6s&t=395s Rejection]''</ref> 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]].<ref>'''Bungie (2023/8/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Witch]] - [[Lore:Rites of Passage|Rites of Passage]]: [[Lore:Rites_of_Passage#A_Deal.27s_a_Deal|A Deal's a Deal]]''</ref>
| |
| | |
| 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".{{Citation needed}}

| ===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.<ref name="FACHH"/> 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]].<ref>'''Bungie (2024/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Final Shape]] - [[Luzaku]]: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyfItmbtZTk "After passing through the threshold and arriving here... this one was changed."]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2024/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Final Shape]] - [[The Message, Part III]]''</ref>

| | |
| 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.<ref>'''Bungie (2024/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Final Shape]] - [[The Message, Part II]]''</ref>
| |
| | |
| 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.<ref>'''Bungie (2024/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Final Shape]] - [[Liminality]]''</ref>

| 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 end 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.<ref>'''Bungie (2024/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Final Shape]] - [[Queens, Part I]]''</ref> 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 outside of the material world.<ref>'''Bungie (2024/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Final Shape]] - [[Queens, Part II]]''</ref>

| 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.<ref>'''Bungie (2024/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Final Shape]] - [[Excision]]''</ref> 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.<ref name="Final Shape ending cutscenes">[https://youtu.be/Q-14MWExkKE?t=330'''Youtube''' - Destiny 2 The Final Shape (Ending Cutscenes)]</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]] - [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books_of_Sorrow|Books of Sorrow]]: [[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:Lucent Tales|Lucent Tales]]: [[Lore:Lucent Tales#Specter|Specter]]''</ref> Lightbearer Hive themselves no longer have worms at all.<ref name="FACHH">'''Bungie (2024/06/04)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Final Shape]] - Item Description: [[First Ascent Suit#Helmet|First Ascent Casque/Helm/Hood]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2024/06/04)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Final Shape]] - [[Lore:Chirality|Chirality]]: [[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:Lucent Tales|Lucent Tales]]: [[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.

| This attitude is not without exceptions, as seen most notably with Savathûn and her Ghost Immaru, who consider each other friends and equals.<ref>'''Bungie (2022/02/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - [[Lore:Lucent Tales|Lucent Tales]]: [[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. | | 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> |

| 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]] - [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen|Savathûn]]: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKejUKb6jBY "...you don't need me. That you never have. The Hive should have been more than the hierarchal mess we've become. You see it. You're reaching out for your own truth. Whether it kills you or not."]''</ref>

| **It is likely for this similarity that Savathûn amusingly called her Lucent Hive Lightbearers the Guardians' "cousins".
| | *In the trailers for Witch Queen, it has been observed that the Hive of this brood possess blue eyes instead of the usual green. This may be connected to the Brood using the light in contrast to the other Hive wielding the Darkness. |
| *The pervasive presence of churches, shrines, and praying statues in the architecture of the Throne World, may indicate the existence of a more complex religious system than those typically encountered in other [[Hive]] factions. This is also reinforced by a large number of canals, fountains, basins and gardens, purely decorative and atypical architectural elements for the Hive, a race culturally defined by the veneration of essentiality and aimed at eliminating everything that is superfluous as dictated by the Logic of the Sword.
| | **This has been proven false with the release of The Witch Queen, as many of their rank-in-file are shown with green eyes. The exceptions are Hive Lightbearers, whose eye color matches the element of their super. |
