The '''Osmium Court''' was a floating continental fragment which rested upon an ocean within the gas giant planet [[Fundament]]. It was a remnant of an ancient cataclysm when the proto-[[Hive]] homeworld crashed into Fundament, after which it served as the new home of the proto-Hive species.<ref name="Curiosity">'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Darkness#Calcified_Fragments:_Curiosity|Calcified Fragments: Curiosity]]''</ref>

==Overview==
The Osmium Court was ruled by a [[Osmium King|King]] who sired many broods of children,<ref name="Predators">'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books_of_Sorrow#I:_Predators|I: Predators]]''</ref> notably [[Aurash]], [[Sathona]], and [[Xi Ro]].<ref name="Predators"/> [[Taox]], a neutered Mother<ref name="Hate">'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books_of_Sorrow#II:_The_Hateful_Verse|II: The Hateful Verse]]''</ref> designed great engines to navigate the treacherous seas of Fundament; when they were active everyone needed to stay far from the edge or exercise extreme caution.<ref name="Predators"/> It possessed a lightning farm, presumably to generate power for the engines,<ref name="Predators"/> and an orrery to study the movements of Fundament's fifty-two moons.<ref name="Hate"/>

==History==
The Osmium Court was betrayed by Taox—who feared both that her King was abandoning his people and that his daughters were unfit to govern—to the rival [[Helium Drinkers]] and [[Helium Court|Court]].<ref name="Hate"/> It was later retaken by the [[Worm]]-empowered [[Hive]] led by Auryx and his sisters,<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books_of_Sorrow#III:_The_Oath|III: The Oath]]''</ref> and presumably destroyed and then abandoned when they ascended to attack the [[Ammonite]] civilization.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books_of_Sorrow#XII:_Out_of_the_Deep|XII: Out of the Deep]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books_of_Sorrow#XIII:_Into_the_Sky|XIII: Into the Sky]]''</ref>

==Trivia==
*The proto-Hive homeworld may have been one of the moons of Fundament, or at least local to the same planetary system. If Aurash is to be believed, the proto-Hive deliberately manipulated their world to crash in order to hide.<ref name="Curiosity"/>
*According to a vision imparted by the [[Relic]] on [[Mars]] using [[Savathûn]]'s ancient, calcified Worm familiar, the Osmium Court closely resembles the island found at the center of the lake atop Savathûn's massive bowl-shaped fortress in her Throne World. Whether this is merely symbolism within the context of the vision or evidence that Savathûn designed the island after her ancestral home is unknown.
