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.

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.

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 | 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]]: [[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> | ||
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.

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.

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.
