The '''Scarlet Keep''' is a massive [[Hive]] fortress established on the [[Moon]]. Its construction was overseen by [[Hashladûn, Daughter of Crota]], who designed it to harness the energy of the [[Pyramid]] buried in the chasm beneath.

The Scarlet Keep was created at an unknown time following the [[Red War]]. It was built by the remaining Hive Broods on the moon who consolidated into the Hidden Swarm. [[Hashladûn, Daughter of Crota]] and her sisters lead the Swarm in designing it to amplify their magic and allowing the Cryptoglyph's spells to shield them from the Pyramid's influences. When the Vanguard assaulted the Keep, they secured the entrance and opening it up for Guardian exploration. Later, Hashladun would lure the Guardians up the Keep, culminating in a final battle at the top of the Tower of Woe. Following the deaths of Hashladun and [[Besurith, Daughter of Crota|Besurith]], the area around the Keep would be used as a ritual ground for the Hive to [[Altars of Sorrow|sacrifice nightmares]] to harvest their Phantasmal Essence. After the death of their sisters, the two surviving daughters of [[Crota, Son of Oryx|Crota]], [[Voshyr]] and [[Kinox]] would hide in the pit beneath the Keep. The [[Hidden Swarm|Swarm]] would begin sacrificing [[Nightmares]] for a ritual to attempt to speak to the [[The Witness|Voice in the Darkness]]. However a fireteam sent by [[Eris Morn]] would enter the pit and slay [[Zulmak, Instrument of Torment]] who was resurrected by the daughters to serve as a puppet champion.

===Banner of War===
Years later, while the Scarlet Keep would fall under the purview of [[Xivu Arath]]'s forces, it would become a contested zone between forces loyal to the War God and those of the [[Lucent Brood]], Lightbearing Hive of [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen]]. The Lucent Brood planned on using the Scarlet Keep as the center point for a ritual, using Light stolen from Guardians, to launch an invasion of Earth. Unfortunately for the Hive, the Guardians, working alongside the Cabal of [[Empress Caiatl]], would be able to disrupt the ritual, thwarting the invasion.
The [[Hidden Swarm]] were left divided and scattered a year after the events of [[Shadowkeep]]. [[Voshyr]] had two daughters [[Yishra]] and [[Ayriax]], while [[Kinox]] had a son named [[Ulg'Urin]] to continue their family’s legacy. The Scarlet Court would call out to [[Xivu Arath, God of War]] to unite them once more. The [[Xivu Arath, God of War|God of War’s]] emissary the [[High Celebrant of Xivu Arath|High Celebrant]] would arrive to have a meeting with the Scarlet Court, to remove them of the [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen|Witch Queen’s]] influence and under the banner of War. [[Osiris]] would infiltrate the meeting and kill [[Crota, Son of Oryx|Crota’s]] remaining lineage, but would be overwhelmed and defeated by a echo of the [[Hive]] [[Xivu Arath, God of War|God of War]]. [[Osiris|Osiris’s]] Ghost [[Sagira]] sacrificed herself to destroy the Echo and save the legendary [[Warlock]], however [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen]] would appear and possess  him. With the end of [[Oryx, the Taken King|Oryx]] and [[Crota, Son of Oryx|Crota’s]] bloodline, the [[Hidden Swarm]] would pledge their allegiance to [[Xivu Arath, God of War]].
 
===Lucent War===
Years later, when the Scarlet Keep fell under the purview of [[Xivu Arath]]'s forces, it would become a contested zone between forces loyal to the War God and those of the [[Lucent Brood]], Lightbearing Hive of [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen]], led by the [[Lightbearer Wizard]], [[Korosek, Thronebringer]]. The Lucent Brood planned on using the Scarlet Keep as the center point for a ritual, using Light stolen from Guardians, to launch an invasion of Earth. Unfortunately for the Hive, the Guardians, working alongside the Cabal of [[Empress Caiatl]], would be able to disrupt the ritual, thwarting the invasion.
