'''Savathûn's Spire''' was a Seasonal activity that was introduced in ''[[Season of the Witch]]''.

==Overview==
When the [[Vanguard]] were told by [[Ahsa]] that Savathûn knows a way to follow [[The Witness]], they would reach out to [[Immaru]]. He would agree to help them and resurrect Savathûn, but would say they must deal first deal with [[Xivu Arath, God of War]], and Savathûn's Spire holds what they need. The Guardian would infiltrate the Spire and defeat Hive and Scorn. [[Eris Morn]] would use Hive magic to transform herself into the Hive God of Vengeance.

{{Tabcontainer
|title1='''First Ascent'''
|content1=
''The fireteam ascends the Spire.''
*'''Ikora''': It looks like the way up has cleared. Be careful.
*'''Hive Signal''': [Recording begins] 
*'''Savathûn''': Guardians. I'm sure Immaru has given you a warm welcome on my behalf.
*'''Hive Signal''': [Recording ends] 
*'''Eris Morn''': Savathûn's dire machinations echo through these halls. She whispers from the past, anticipating each outcome.
*'''Immaru''': She left you some recordings. It ain't that deep.
*'''Hive Signal''': [Recording begins]
*'''Savathûn''': You've accepted my proposal. We have mutual interests, after all... despite our bad blood. You might not believe me, but... I love my sister. But to us Hive, love is death. No one knows more about killing her than I do. 
*'''Hive Signal''': [Recording ends]
*'''Eris Morn''': There is something... vile at the heart of this place. Steeped in Hive magic, but bound by the Light.
*'''Ikora''': Savathûn planned for this moment.
*'''Immaru''': She knew the Guardian would end up here eventually, Eris Morn in tow.

|title2='''Week 1'''
|content2=
''The fireteam ascends the Spire.''
*'''Ikora''': These tithes are reckless.
*'''Eris Morn''': Reckless? No. I know the danger, and I will accept the outcome.
*'''Ikora''': And if I won't accept it?
*'''Eris Morn''': That is what will lead us into recklessness.
Or alternatively
*'''Immaru''': Eris is having the time of her life. She'll never give up being a Hive.
*'''Ikora''': Yes she will. The sooner we can get this done, the sooner she can finish this.
*'''Immaru''': I wouldn’t be so sure. I see that look in her eyes when she gets those tithes... and you see it too.
Or alternatively
*'''Immaru''': Bringing down Savathûn’s [[Xivu Arath|sister]] is gonna take more than chanting in a circle.
*'''Ikora''': Eris knows what she’s doing.
*'''Immaru''': Maybe. But from where I’m floatin’, you’re not exactly a fan of her methods.
*'''Ikora''': I trust her judgement. I only wish it hadn’t come to this.

|title3='''Xivu's Arrival'''
|content3=
''The fireteam ascends the Spire.''
*'''Immaru''': You hear that? ...She’s in our heads.
*'''Ikora''': I hear it.
*'''Xivu Arath''': THE [[Helium Drinkers|HELIUM DRINKERS]]. THE [[Ammonite|AMMONITES]]. WE SOUNDED THEIR END WITH OUR BLADES. THE [[Ecumene|ECUMENE]]. THE [[Harmony|HARMONY]]. THEY WAILED IN TERROR AS WE SANG THEIR EXTINCTION. HUMANITY HAS JOINED THE CHORUS OF OUR WAR ETERNAL. 
*'''Ikora''': What is she doing?
*'''Eris Morn''': Xivu Arath issues her challenge.
*'''Immaru''': You've really done it now. You need to chase Xivu’s goons out of here before they take over.
*'''Eris Morn''': Guardian, press on!
*'''Xivu Arath''': ERIS MORN. MEET ME AS HIVE, AND SEND FORTH YOUR BROOD. HAVE YOUR [[Guardian|LIARS]] PAY TRIBUTE TO THEIR GOD, SO I MAY SEE HER VENGEANCE.

|title4='''Week 3'''
|content4=
''The fireteam ascends the Spire.''
*'''Eris Morn''': When the Hive gods [[Hive#The_Pact|made their pact]] with the [[worms]] of [[Fundament]], they were bound to fulfill their ambitions, lest their worm devour them. [[Oryx]] sought understanding. Savathûn sought lies and trickery. Xivu Arath has fatted her worm on the strength of civilizations. And all that remains of those are the epitaphs etched in the pages of Hive apocrypha.
*'''Immaru''': She always like this? Lighten up a little! Yeesh.
Or alternatively
*'''Immaru''': So, what'll be on your civilization's tombstone? "Here lies humanity. We thought we were the center of the universe, right up until a Hive God tore us apart."
*'''Eris Morn''': We will have no such inscription.
*'''Immaru''': Yeah. That's right. Because there won't be anything — at all.
Or alternatively
*'''Immaru''': Xivu IS war. And as far as I can see, that's what we're in. So what's your pet Hive's plan?
*'''Ikora''': No one is more versed in Hive magic than Eris Morn. She'll find a way. She has to.

|title5='''Week 7'''
|content5=
''The fireteam ascends the Spire.''
*'''Immaru''': The boss is singing your praises. You did everything she asked, and you did it with style. She liked watching you tear through her Lucent Hive. Very sword logic. I guess old habits die hard. I know we're all cozy, but don't think we'll go easy on you after this. We still gotta "make ourselves sharp," don't we?
Or alternatively
*'''Ikora''': My [[The Hidden|Hidden]] are looking for Xivu Arath, but apart from lingering Wrathborn it seems she's gone to ground.
*'''Eris Morn''': That was enough for Savathûn. She used us to continue an age-old game between her and her sister.
*'''Ikora''': And we played into her hands.
*'''Eris Morn''': Yes. But we have what we need, and Xivu Arath’s position is weakened. That must be enough for us as well.
Or alternatively
*'''Savathûn''': I built this Spire piece by piece with my will. Everything here serves one purpose: mastery of our Light. You Guardians have tested the Light's boundaries for as long as you've had it. I thought I'd do the same. After so many years finding the limits of Hive magic, it was lovely to stretch my wings.
Or alternatively
*'''Savathûn''': These Hive crystals contain powerful Light. Do you know where that comes from? I think you do. You've ripped it out of enough of your cousins to know that by now. My [[Savathûn's Brood|Brood]] did [[Savathûn's Song|the same on Titan]]. You've become so good at it. I enjoy watching you work.

''On their ascent, the fireteam unlocks a secret path in the Spire.''
:'''A secret is unveiled.'''
''The [[Enduring Executioner]] arrives.''<br>
''The fireteam avoids the executioner's attacks.''<br>
''After a moment, the Enduring Executioner retreats.''

===Second Encounter===
''The fireteam reaches a barrier bound by Hive runes.''<br>
''The fireteam uses the Acolyte’s Staff to invoke Hive magic, dispelling the barrier.''<br>
''In the room, an elemental ball of Light sits in the center.''
{{Tabcontainer
|title1='''Arc Light'''
|content1=
''A ball of Arc Light in the center of the room, sporadically shoots out hazardous bolts of energy.''<br>
''The fireteam is inflicted with '''Shock'''.''
*'''Eris Morn''': Break the charge of Arc energy to contain its Light.
Or alternatively
*'''Ikora''': One of Savathûn's experiments with Arc Light. Interrupt its charge.
Or alternatively
*'''Immaru''': Disrupt that thing to clear the room of Arc energy.
|title2='''Solar Light'''
|content2=
''A ball of Solar Light in the center of the room, scorches everything in its line of sight.''<br>
''The fireteam is inflicted with '''Burning'''.''
*'''Eris Morn''': Unchecked Solar Light. Savathûn's experimentation. Contain its power, Guardian.
Or alternatively
*'''Ikora''': That Solar Light is unstable. Disrupt and control it.
Or alternatively
*'''Immaru''': That thing is burning up the place. Get it under control!
|title3='''Void Light'''
|content3=
''A ball of Void Light in the center of the room, continuously pulls the fireteam into its gravitational center.''<br>
''The fireteam is inflicted with '''Tethered'''.''
*'''Eris Morn''': Void Light exerts its inexorable pull. Break its tether.
Or alternatively
*'''Ikora''': The Void Light will pull you in. Break its hold over you, Guardian.
Or alternatively
*'''Immaru''': That Void Light'll keep draggin' you in if you don't contain it.
}}

===Labyrinth===
''The fireteam completes another of the above encounters.''<br>
''The fireteam comes to a room with multiple runed portals.''
{{Tabcontainer
|title1='''First Ascent'''
|content1=
''The fireteam continues through the labyrinth.''
*'''Eris Morn''': The Spire is alive with Light. We have redirected the Witch Queen's spells and empowered it to... some end. I am not certain.
''The fireteam continues their ascent, coming to a room with multiple runed portals.''
*'''Eris Morn''': Hive runes manifest here. Discern their pattern and traverse the Witch Queen's labyrinth.
''The fireteam follows the path laid by the Hive runes.''
*'''Hive Signal''': [Recording begins]
*'''Savathûn''': Xivu Arath can't be confronted. That's what she wants, and she always gets exactly what she wants. So spoiled. So loved. You'll have to find another way. Only her equal could ever have a hope of overcoming the threat of my sister's war march. Only a Hive.
*'''Hive Signal''': [Recording ends]
*'''Eris Morn''': So it rests with me.
*'''Ikora''': Eris?
*'''Hive Signal''': [Recording begins]
*'''Savathûn''': My sister depends on the foundations of her [[Sword Logic|cold logic]]. If you want to remove her from the board, you'll need to test her thesis. There's power for the taking, Eris. And for that... you'll have to prove your right to exist.
*'''Hive Signal''': [Recording ends]
*'''Eris Morn''': Savathûn speaks of the sword logic.
*'''Ikora''': No. We can't play the Hive gods' games.
*'''Eris Morn''': And yet we must.

|title2='''Week 1'''
|content2=
''The fireteam continues through the labyrinth.''
*'''Immaru''': You some kind of expert on Hive runes?
*'''Eris Morn''': Yes. Each rune manifests their referent. Death brings death, lies bring lies. We seize them with our inscriptions, grasping their malign power. We wield them as we wield fear.
*'''Immaru''': Yeah, yeah, aiat aiat. Forget I asked.
Or alternatively
*'''Immaru''': Savathûn really thinks some half-Hive half-wit can take out her sister. We're all doomed.
*'''Ikora''': Say that again. Eris will survive this, but believe me: you won’t survive Eris.
*'''Immaru''': You’re all bluffing. You can’t crush me; I’m too important.
*'''Ikora''': For now... but your freedom of movement is a privilege... and we have a crate just for you.
Or alternatively
*'''Ikora''': Hive runes aren't letters. They're logograms. Each one represents a word or idea. Their patterns draw power from their meaning, and their orientation casts a spell. Eris uses them in her rituals... and we can use them now.

|title3='''Xivu's Arrival'''
|content3=
''The fireteam continues through the labyrinth.''
*'''Xivu Arath''': ERIS MORN. YOUR BROOD ARMS THEMSELVES WITH MY BROTHER’S MANTLE. YOUR ACOLYTES PAY TRIBUTE BY MY BROTHER’S LAW. FEED YOUR WORM AS I FEED MINE. I SHALL TEST MY STRENGTH AGAINST YOUR VENGEANCE. WE WILL HAVE OUR TITHES. YOU DROVE MY SISTER TO HER THRONE, AND SHE FOUND TRUE DEATH BY YOUR COMPREHENSION. YOU CHASED MY BROTHER TO HIS THRONE, AND HE FELL AS HIS CHILDREN, BY YOUR ASSIDUITY. 
*'''Eris Morn''': And so you will fall! 
*'''Xivu Arath''': COME. MY [[Black Terrace|COURT]] IS WAR, AND YOU WILL FIND ME THERE.
''The fireteam follows the path laid by the Hive runes.''
*'''Eris Morn''': We must drive Xivu Arath from this place, or she will overrun the Throne World and take the tithes I am owed. 
*'''Xivu Arath''': YOU CRAVE AS I CRAVE. YOU LOVE AS I LOVE. PROVE YOURSELF WITH YOUR EXISTENCE, AS I HAVE PROVED MY OWN. I WILL KILL YOU OVER AND OVER, FOREVER AND EVER. OUR WAR IS AS MY BROTHER’S LOVE. AIAT. 
*'''Eris Morn''': I am no sister to you!

|title4='''Week 3'''
|content4=
''The fireteam continues through the labyrinth.''
*'''Immaru''': You think Eris will finally lose her marbles? She seemed short a few when she started. This might be the thing that finally knocks ‘em loose.
*'''Ikora''': Enough.
*'''Immaru''': What? I hear how your Guardians talk. They ain't exactly discreet.
*'''Ikora''': We trust Eris to get this done.
*'''Immaru''': Huh. You really think so? Might want to check your comms because that's not what I'm hearing.
Or alternatively
*'''Immaru''': You're going toe-to-toe with Xivu Arath. Wonder what that [[Caiatl|tusked-up tyrant]] thinks about that.
*'''Ikora''': The empress trusts Eris to get this done. After [[Desperate Measures|everything]] with her [[Calus|father]], she's earned some rest.
*'''Immaru''': Too tuckered out from her daddy issues to do it herself, huh.
*'''Ikora''': I'll pass along your concern. I'm sure she'll want to thank you in person.
Or alternatively
*'''Immaru''': You tear through everything in front of you, huh? Can't help yourself. It's what you do. I'm not gonna say, "we're not so different," because you'll never believe it. What's the point? But Eris and Xivu... let's just say our God of War is getting exactly what she wants.

|title5='''Week 7'''
|content5=
''The fireteam continues through the labyrinth.''
*'''Savathûn''': Eris Morn. Such a resourceful woman. You know, I'm proud of her. She did exactly as I asked. And now, we know.
*'''Ikora''': Know what?
*'''Savathûn''': That the [[Hellmouth]] was the best thing that [[First Crota Fireteam|ever happened]] to her.
Or alternatively
*'''Immaru''': You’ve become quite the little spellcaster. Eris and Savathûn taught you so much. Mastering the Spire, fighting like hell in our oubliette, taking Xivu down a peg. You really did your mommies proud.
Or alternatively
*'''Savathûn''': Our runes hold power. You're writing yourself a little spell with each path you take. I hope you’re paying attention. Though even when you stumble, you're giving me some delicious tribute.

*'''Eris Morn''': There is dire magic here, and I am its conduit. We may use this power to our own ends.

*'''Eris Morn''': Let us hope that claim is not tested.
Or alternatively
*'''Immaru''': Sword logic is easy. "Survival of the fittest." You don't need to dress it up.
*'''Eris Morn''': It is not an evolutionary adaptation, but a philosophical understanding. Active, not passive. You must prove your right to exist, or else you do not deserve existence. It creates a moral imperative to seek out and destroy everything you encounter.
*'''Ikora''': You have to keep breaking things until you find something you can’t break.
*'''Eris Morn''': Well... yes. That is one way of putting it.

''The fireteam completes the ritual at the top of the Spire, and opens the chest.''
*'''Ikora''': Eris, your ritual called on the Hive Worm Gods, and there were some I didn't recognize.
*'''Eris Morn''': Not all are Hive. Sel, Ora, Leis... they were [[Ahsa]]'s sisters. Dead, or lost. She whispered their names to me, and I invoked them alongside the worm gods both slain and living.
*'''Ikora''': I see. Ahsa is one of our greatest allies. I just hope she finds time to rest.
Or alternatively
*'''Ikora''': Savathûn kept the spire hidden from us for too long. It seems this place is still full of secrets.
*'''Eris Morn''': Such is its nature. [[Ascendant Realm#Throne Worlds|Throne worlds]] are cyst universes, created by practitioners of the sword logic and manipulated by their whims. The Spire may be an emanation of Savathûn’s desire to control the Light.
*'''Immaru''': Who died and made you an expert on throne worlds?
*'''Eris Morn''': [[Crota]].
Or alternatively
*'''Ikora''': Eris, I can't keep ignoring Elsie.
*'''Eris Morn''': I have no trouble doing so.
*'''Ikora''': Think about this from her perspective. You don't know what she's seen.
*'''Eris Morn''': I am familiar with her perspective. I hear the speculation. There are Guardians who believe I will take control of the Hive, go mad, and kill you all. If not that, then they say I have nothing else to live for, and think my death is inevitable. That I will sacrifice myself for the good of all.
*'''Ikora''': That won't happen.
*'''Eris Morn''': Tell that to Elisabeth. Perhaps she will believe you this time.

|title4='''Week 7'''

''The fireteam completes the ritual at the top of the Spire, and opens the chest.''
*'''Savathûn''': So, Eris Morn became the Hive God of Vengeance. We all saw that coming. But oh, how she reveled in it. She's always been so buttoned-up. Formal. Aloof. It must have been good to see her finally cut loose. When you peeked under that bandage, what did you see? I think it was her truth. I love that for her.
Or alternatively
*'''Savathûn''': That was quite the masterstroke, Eris; I'm impressed. You have the unique honor of murdering me. A long time ago, my siblings and I would have welcomed you into our little family.
*'''Eris Morn''': Your resurrection was out of necessity. I slit your throat and took my revenge. I will not be taunted by you now.
*'''Savathûn''': Oh, you took more than your revenge, honey — and I can't wait to see what you do next.
Or alternatively
*'''Savathûn''': You did very well [[Lore:Rites_of_Passage#Contingency_Plans|in my absence]], Immaru.
*'''Immaru''': Yeah? Then why'd you leave me with that wannabe Hive? She said she'd lock me away if I “tested the limits of her hospitality.” Then she called me a lout. I said she was a drummed-up dimwit. And she hit me with a book.
*'''Savathûn''': Be kind to your host, and keep up appearances with my Lucent Hive. You're a [[Lore:Rites_of_Passage#A_Deal's_a_Deal|token of good faith]]. We don't want to give them a reason not to trust us, do we?
Or alternatively
*'''Savathûn''': My sister feels her worm's hunger, gnawing away at her for running from us. She has to keep testing her strength if she doesn't want to be eaten alive... and she has no one left to love. Now you see: I needed my worm [[Exorcism|exorcised]] so I could tell you the truth. And didn't I uphold our bargain? I knew you could do it. You've done so many impossible things... [[Anthem Anatheme|O murderer mine]].
Or alternatively
*'''Ikora''': Eris, I've sent a message to the [[Techeuns]] as you requested.
*'''Eris Morn''': Thank you, Ikora. [[Mara Sov|Queen Mara]] will know the way forward. A long time ago, [[Grimoire:Allies/The_Queen#Ghost_Fragment:_The_Queen_2|she listened]] when I warned of Oryx's [[Taken War|imminent threat]]. With this, she constructed a [[Eleusinia|throne world]] of her own. It [[Battle of Saturn|saved]] her life. May she arm herself with our knowledge once again.
Or alternatively
*'''Ikora''': Eris, you said the worm gods derive their power the same way as the [[Ahamkara]].
*'''Eris Morn''': That is Queen Mara's prevailing theory. They are thaumaturge to the space between the actual and possible. That power transformed the Hive from a [[Krill|prey]] species into some of the strongest beings in the universe... and it [[Armor_of_the_Great_Hunt_(Hunter)#Cloak_of_the_Great_Hunt|saved]] me in the Hellmouth.
*'''Ikora''': But the Ahamkara never give you what you want.
*'''Eris Morn''': They do... but our wants are tangled and contradictory. Such is the nature of the Ahamkara. Such is the nature of desire.

===Once-Iriis===
''[[Once-Iriis, Failed Variable]] arrives.''
*'''Eris Morn''': Guardian! Remove the Scorn and claim the Spire.
Or alternatively
*'''Ikora''': Clear out the Scorn and take the Spire.
Or alternatively
*'''Immaru''': One of Savathûn's experiments. Real mean. Go get 'em!
''Once-Iriis creates copies of themselves scattered across the room.''<br>
''The fireteam engages Once-Iriis and their copies.''

''The fireteam completes the ritual at the top of the Spire, and opens the chest.''
*'''Immaru''': Scorn are still all over the Throne World. No matter how many you kill, they keep comin' back. [[The Witness|Witness]] must be churning 'em out. Hey, didn't your precious boy [[Crow]] wish them into existence? Great move. Really spiced things up for all of us. Thank him for me.
Or alternatively
*'''Immaru''': Savathûn kept these undead dolts in here under lock and key. Studied 'em for a while. She wanted to see if they were anything like [[Nokris|Nokris's]] [[necromancy]]. They weren't. They got a special kind of resurrection just for them. No Ghosts, no throne worlds. Just [[Dark Ether]] and the Witness. And lucky for us, they just keep comin'.
Or alternatively
*'''Immaru''': It never gets old watching you glowbugs fight the Scorn for us, heh. You even took care of [[Rhulk]]! Must be why you're still in Savathûn's good graces. So, keep it up, champ. You're doin’ great. I know that's what you Guardians like to hear.

|title2='''Week 3'''

''The fireteam completes the ritual at the top of the Spire, and opens the chest.''
*'''Eris Morn''': Well done, Guardian.
*'''Immaru''': “Well done”? We don't even know how to take out Xivu, and you're handing out cookies.
*'''Eris Morn''': We are making progress.
*'''Immaru''': Yeah? So, where's your master plan?
*'''Eris Morn''': Xivu Arath breaches the Spire’s secrets. I will not let her breach ours.
Or alternatively
*'''Immaru''': You're done. Now get out before you break anything else.
*'''Eris Morn''': We are not your Hive, and you cannot give us orders.
*'''Immaru''': Hah, as if you could hold up against my Hive. Where'd your [[Brya|Ghost]] go again? Oh, right. She's dead.
*'''Eris Morn''': Speak carefully.
*'''Immaru''': Luckless low-Light.
*'''Eris Morn''': Cretin.
*'''Ikora''': Enough. Both of you.
*'''Eris Morn''': Ikora—
*'''Ikora''': Enough.
Or alternatively
*'''Immaru''': Funny. The Witness can bring back any dead [[Eliksni]] and turn ‘em into Scorn. Sounds just like our Guardians, doesn't it. It’s good to have an army of useful, undead dummies. Looks like the [[Vanguard]] knows that too. So... snap, snap; hop to it. You've got a lot more Scorn to kill.

|title3='''Week 7'''
|content3=
''The fireteam completes the ritual at the top of the Spire, and opens the chest.''
*'''Ikora''': Good job, Guardian.
*'''Immaru''': Yeah, yeah. Pat yourselves on the back. Savathûn saw all this coming and laid out her plan on a platter for you. All you did was follow it.
*'''Ikora''': Savathûn gambles in possibilities, not certainties. Predictions are only as accurate as hindsight makes them. We could have failed. What Savathûn did was an act of faith.
Or alternatively
*'''Ikora''': Eris, how are you feeling?
*'''Eris Morn''': To lose the tithes... [sighs] I was a god, Ikora. I no longer understand myself as I once did. There was something lost, but also dearly gained. But mostly... I am tired. Perhaps I will rest.
*'''Ikora''': How?
*'''Eris Morn''': With tea. And books.
*'''Ikora''': That sounds perfect. I think I'll join you.
Or alternatively
*'''Immaru''': Savathûn took these guys apart and put them back together. She knows exactly how they work. They’re a little Ahamkara trick. Wishing someone back alive doesn't mean they'll come back the same. I heard Eris knows all about wishing. Too bad you put Riven in the ground. It sounds like you could use a wish or two.
Or alternatively
*'''Immaru''': So, what's that washed-up worm doing now?
*'''Ikora''': If you mean Ahsa, she went back into hibernation. [[Sloane]] is monitoring her. There's been no sign of any lingering effects since her pact with Eris concluded. ...why? I know you're not concerned for her.
*'''Immaru''': Gotta keep tabs on her. Queen's orders.
*'''Ikora''': You don't know why, do you?
*'''Immaru''': It's need to know! Whatever Savathûn’s planning for Ahsa, it's better than what Xivu wants to do to her. Let’s leave it at that.

===Golakh===
''[[Golakh, Befouler]] arrives.''
*'''Eris Morn''': Use your spellcraft to retake the Spire!
Or alternatively
*'''Ikora''': More Wrathborn. Drive Xivu Arath’s forces from the Spire.
Or alternatively
*'''Immaru''': You brought Xivu here, now clear these death-maggots out!

*'''Xivu Arath''': ERIS MORN. YOU KNOW THAT THERE IS ONLY WAR. YOU PROVE MY LOGIC TRUE. MEET ME IN BLOOD. MATCH ME IN VIOLENCE. OUR BROODS WILL FEED US WITH THEIR TRIBUTE.
*'''Eris Morn''': Xivu Arath. When this is finished, you will turn and run, and your worm will gnaw at you as if you were a buried corpse. You will have no tribute then... and you will starve.
*'''Immaru''': This isn't over. Xivu will keep coming until she wins her war.
*'''Ikora''': We need to rethink our plan.
*'''Eris Morn''': No. Our plan needs no revision. Her presence proves its efficacy. We must press on.
*'''Ikora''': We can't fight her!
*'''Eris Morn''': But we can hold the line until a way forward is found. Guardian, proceed to the Witch Queen's wretched oubliette. Claim the tithes before Xivu Arath takes them as spoils of her eternal war.
*'''Ikora''': I don't like this.
*'''Eris Morn''': You don’t need to.

|title2='''Week 3'''

''The fireteam completes the ritual at the top of the Spire, and opens the chest.''
*'''Xivu Arath''': ERIS MORN. YOU ARE CONJURED WITH VENGEANCE. I AM [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books_of_Sorrow#XXIX:_Carved_in_Ruin|CONJURED WITH WAR]]. IN YOUR VENGEANCE, YOU INVOKE YOUR UNDERSTANDING. IN YOUR UNDERSTANDING, YOU [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books_of_Sorrow#L:_Wormfood|INVOKE MY BROTHER]].
*'''Eris Morn''': Your brother is dead! He failed, and his children failed.
*'''Xivu Arath''': YOU ARE THE BLADE HE HAS APPOINTED. NOW AND FOREVER OUR KING.
Or alternatively
*'''Immaru''': [[Rasputin]] was the best you got, and he [[ABHORRENT IMPERATIVE (mission)|still folded]] when Xivu came knocking.
*'''Ikora''': He was a hammer. The Warmind escalated attacks with the goal of overwhelming his enemies. That was futile against Xivu Arath. Self-sacrifice was his only option.
*'''Immaru''': So, what's Eris’s plan? Throw herself on her sword?
*'''Ikora''': It won't come to that.
*'''Immaru''': Yeah? What makes you so sure?
Or alternatively
*'''Xivu Arath''': ERIS MORN. YOU MEET ME IN MY COURT AND KNOW ME. YOU FIND ME IN OUR WAR AND SEE THE VIOLENCE OF YOUR BROOD. YOU BRING YOUR BLADE AGAINST MINE, AND IN THEIR CROSSING, I FIND YOUR LOVE. I WILL END YOUR EXISTENCE. AND WHEN YOU RETURN, I WILL KILL YOU AGAIN... AND WHEN YOU RETURN, I WILL KILL YOU AGAIN. AIAT. AIAT.
*'''Ikora''': Eris, what does that mean?
*'''Eris Morn''': The Hive gods killed one another out of love. Perhaps Xivu Arath seeks to do the same with me, and speaks her scripture to that end. I believe it is all she knows.
Or alternatively
*'''Xivu Arath''': I AM WAR AND YOU ARE VENGEANCE. THOSE THAT FALL TO YOUR SWORD DESERVE THEIR FINAL DEATH.
*'''Eris Morn''': Be silent! Your brood falls at each engagement! We will exterminate them, and you.
*'''Xivu Arath''': MY WORM FEASTS ON THIS FINE FLESH. MAY YOUR WORM FEAST UPON YOUR VENGEANCE.
Or alternatively
*'''Xivu Arath''': CHILDREN OF THE SKY. YOUR FALSE PEACE AND FALSE SMILE WILL BREAK BENEATH MY SWORD. WITH EACH DEATH, I TEST MY TRUTH AGAINST YOUR OWN. WE ARE PARED TO OUR [[Final Shape|TRUE SHAPES]].
*'''Ikora''': Your logic will fail you, Xivu Arath, and the [[Darkness|Deep]] will not save you.
*'''Xivu Arath''': WITH OUR WAR, YOU CUT THE ROT AND PROVE MY LOGIC TRUE.
Or alternatively
*'''Xivu Arath''': HARBINGER. AUGUR. I SEE THE BEAUTY OF YOUR MORPH. WITH OUR LOGIC, YOU WILL STAND BESIDE ME AS MY SISTER.
*'''Eris Morn''': I am not one of you!
*'''Xivu Arath''': TAKE YOUR PLACE AMONGST OUR KIND. I AWAIT YOUR GLORY. AIAT. AIAT.
Or alternatively
*'''Immaru''': Xivu Arath could squish us like bugs. What's her plan? Why is she hiding behind her troops?
*'''Eris Morn''': I have considered this. In my transformation, I promised vengeance against the Hive... And we are her brother’s killers.
*'''Ikora''': You’re suggesting that if Xivu Arath attacked directly, she would empower you?
*'''Eris Morn''': The sword logic precludes revenge. Perhaps she is afraid she will take it.
Or alternatively
*'''Xivu Arath''': I AM XIVU ARATH, YOUNGEST SISTER OF A DEAD KING. [[The Traveler|THE TRAVELER]] LIES TO YOU AS IT LIES TO MY SISTER’S TAINTED BROOD.
*'''Eris Morn''': I am Eris Morn, Crota's Bane. I will strike you from the pantheon of gods as I did your siblings.
*'''Xivu Arath''': WE ERADICATE WEAKNESS. WE MAKE OURSELVES SHARP. YOU FOLLOW DOWN OUR BLADED PATH SO YOU MAY JOIN THE FINAL SHAPE. AIAT. AIAT.

|title3='''Week 7'''
|content3=
''The fireteam completes the ritual at the top of the Spire, and opens the chest.''
*'''Immaru''': Xivu isn't dead, you know. You didn't win.
*'''Eris Morn''': Oryx and Savathûn couldn't truly kill their sister. It was a game to them. It was love. If they died, they would simply return to their thrones.
*'''Ikora''': And they did that over and over again to make themselves stronger. We cut Xivu Arath’s safety net.
*'''Immaru''': So, you took her toys away. Now what? 
*'''Ikora''': We deal with the Witness. Then, we deal with her.
Or alternatively
*'''Immaru''': You didn't kill Xivu Arath, so what makes her less dangerous now?
*'''Eris Morn''': I severed her connection to her throne world. They allow their creators a method of resurrection, but they have limits. Oryx brought his throne world into his [[The Dreadnaught|Dreadnaught’s]] embrace. That vanity was his undoing. The Guardians breached it, and destroyed him. So, too, did his sister perish when she welcomed us into her throne world. The Guardians found Savathûn there and ended her life. But Xivu Arath’s undoing will be for lack of a throne. And when that happens, I will smile.
Or alternatively
*'''Immaru''': Here's what I don't get: all the power of the Hive in your claws, and you gave it up.
*'''Eris Morn''': No. I used it to protect humanity, and in doing so, I disproved the premise of the sword logic.
*'''Ikora''': She knew that killing Savathûn would be an act of vengeance, and that it would empower herself enough so that she wouldn’t need to fight at all.
*'''Eris Morn''': We withstood the violence of the Hive and the primacy of their hunger. I proved our right to exist, and it broke their blade apart. I heard Xivu Arath’s screams. It was not just pain... It was heartbreak.
Or alternatively
*'''Savathûn''': You know, my sister's violence comes from a place of love. Even when we were young and playing Swords and Lanterns, she wanted to cut apart the universe so that she could survive it. So she cuts you apart until there's nothing left but what can withstand her. She wanted that for me... and she wanted the same for Eris, to stand with her at the final shape. That’s how Xivu Arath shows her love.

==Gameplay==
Savathûn's Spire is a three player matchmade activity launched from the [[H.E.L.M.]] It features two Surge [[Modifier]]s, one Threat modifier, all rotating, and the Heroic modifier, as well as Shielded Foes, though it is not listed. A Legend version is also available, with no matchmaking, locked loadouts, [[Champion]]s and Overcharged Weapons. Both modes also feature the [[Deck of Whispers]].

Starting with Week 3, [[Wrathborn]] have a chance to be fought instead of the [[Lucent Brood]]. Hive biomatter will encased the ritual sites and Xivu Arath's sigil will float through the arenas with soulfire. 

===First Encounter===
At the entrance of the Spire, the players will see their drawn card, and then have to Invoke Hive Magic to begin the activity. The specifics of each encounter can be found in the Enemies page, and they take place as described. Once the encounter is completed, the players will be lifted up deeper in the Spire.

===The Ascent===
After the first encounter is complete, the players will have to navigate onto precarious platforms between deadly obstacles to reach the second encounter. There is a weekly rotating secret chest in this area, as well as [[Elemental damage|elementally]] attuned Opaque Cards.

===Second Encounter===
After drawing their cards and Invoking Hive Magic, the second encounter will begin. In addition to the base mechanics of the enemies within, there will be a sphere of concentrated [[Light]] in the middle of the room. Staying close to the sphere will fling the player away after a little, and the Light will activate its effect during the encounter. [[Solar]] Light will burn all players in the area, requiring them to take cover in the shadow to avoid being burned. [[Arc]] Light will bathe an area in electricity, obstructing vision and continuously damaging players within. [[Void]] Light will tether players in place, making it impossible for them to move, and if they jump, they will be drawn towards it.

After the encounter is complete, a portal will open and allow the players to proceed.

===The Labyrinth===
The second traversal section begins in front of a set of three Hive runes and four portals marked by runes. Players should memorize the three runes and jump through the portals marked by them, as this will allow them to use a [[Rally Banner]] at the end of the section, before confronting the final boss. As with the Ascent, there are weekly rotating secret chests and elementally attuned Opaque Cards hidden in the maze, as well as deadly traps.

===Final Encounter===
After the Labyrinth is completed and the card is drawn, players can Invoke Hive Magic to activate a portal to the final encounter. The middle portal will bring them to the [[Dûl Alai, Warden of the Spire|Lucent]] [[Ur-Hiruk, Warden of the Spire|Hive]] [[Zirah, Warden of the Spire|Wardens]], the right portal leads to a [[Once-Iriis, Failed Variable|Scorn Experiment]], and the left portal to a [[Golakh, Befouler|Wrathborn Incursion]]. In this encounter, a [[Reclaimant of Savathûn]] may appear. Killing it before it teleports away will reward players with additional loot, keys and offerings.

Once the final encounter is complete, players can spend their Witch's Keys, and the activity ends.
