Following the arrival of the [[Black Fleet]] and the sudden disappearance of the [[Savathûn, the Witch-Queen|Witch Queen]], Xivu Arath sought to establish a foothold in the [[Sol System]] in her sister's absence with the aid of her [[High Celebrant of Xivu Arath|High Celebrant]]. | Following the arrival of the [[Black Fleet]] and the sudden disappearance of the [[Savathûn, the Witch-Queen|Witch Queen]], Xivu Arath sought to establish a foothold in the [[Sol System]] in her sister's absence with the aid of her [[High Celebrant of Xivu Arath|High Celebrant]]. Acting as her envoy, the Celebrant summoned Hive structures known as [[Cryptolith]]s from the [[Ascendant Realm]] across the system to deploy an army of Wrathborn from across dimensions and corrupt a new army from the forces of the Fallen, Cabal, and renegade Hive. | ||
They were majorly rampant across the [[Tangled Shore]] and the [[Dreaming City]] in tandem with the events on [[Europa]]. Their threat was challenged by [[Guardians]] working with [[Crow]], "[[Osiris]]" and the [[Spider]] to draw them out of the Cryptoliths and hunt them down. | They were majorly rampant across the [[Tangled Shore]] and the [[Dreaming City]] in tandem with the events on [[Europa]]. Their threat was challenged by [[Guardians]] working with [[Crow]], "[[Osiris]]" and the [[Spider]] to draw them out of the Cryptoliths and hunt them down. The High Celebrant was ultimately caught and eliminated in a final hunt by the Guardians and the Crow, driving back the Hive God's advance upon the Sol System for a brief period. | ||
Later, they would be deployed to the Dreaming City by Xivu Arath who was seeking retaliation against her sister, who was held captive by the [[Awoken]]. Large numbers of Wrathborn along with forces of [[Taken]] and [[Scorn]] would form a collective assault on the City through the Ley Lines and the [[Ascendant Realm]], seeking to capture Savathûn. | Later, they would be deployed to the Dreaming City by Xivu Arath who was seeking retaliation against her sister, who was held captive by the [[Awoken]].

[[Commander Zavala]] alongside [[The Guardian]], [[Saladin Forge]], and [[Saint-14]] would arrive on [[The Rig]] after receiving a distress signal from [[Sloane|Deputy Commander Sloane]]. They would successfully defeat the forces of [[Xivu Arath, God of War|Xivu Arath]] and meet up with Sloane, who was now partially Taken after almost being claimed by the will of the God of War, but was saved by an ancient enemy of the [[The Witness|Witness]] known as [[Ahsa]], who she established a connection with. [[The Guardian]] would work with Sloane to strengthen their connection to learn more about the Witness, hunting and defeating the [[Fallen Wrathborn|Wrathborn Servitor]], [[J4W-S, Wrath-Hunter Servitor]]. | ||
Shortly after the [[Skirmish of Titan]], the forces of [[Xivu Arath, God of War|Xivu Arath]] would invade the [[Court of Savathûn]] in an attempt to take control of the Witch Queen's [[Savathûn's Spire|Spire]]. The Guardians would successfully defeat the God of War's forces to maintain control of the Spire. The Wrathborn would then be sent to take control of the [[Altars of Summoning]] and kill the test subjects within to tithe to [[Xivu Arath, God of War|Xivu Arath]]. However, they would be stopped by the [[The Guardian|Guardian]] would enter the Altar and defeat the [[Ir Dollox, Talon of Xivu Arath|two]] [[Ir Kaza, Talon of Xivu Arath|talons]], and would be confronted by the [[Leviathan-Eater, Bane of the Ammonites]] who would test their strength before retreating. Despite this defeat, the Wrathborn would continue to fight for supremacy over the Spire. | Shortly after the [[Skirmish of Titan]], the forces of [[Xivu Arath, God of War|Xivu Arath]] would invade the [[Court of Savathûn]] in an attempt to take control of the Witch Queen's [[Savathûn's Spire|Spire]].

Wrathborn would be employed within the [[The Pale Heart|Pale Heart]] to enact the [[Final Shape]]. They would be encountered by the Guardian in their mission to find [[Zavala]] before he would lose his Ghost [[Targe]] by the hands of the Witness.<ref>'''Bungie (2024/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Final Shape]], [[Story Mission]]: [[Dissent]]''</ref> | |||

Wrathborn are mindless, enraged versions of their former selves, attacking former allies as readily as enemies. They are marked by a sickly green-glowing miasma that hovers around their heads and a trail of noxious soulfire that they leave behind and can be used to track them. They are given increased strength and resilience by the Hive magic of the Cryptoliths, making them an obedient army of monstrosities in service of the Hive god herself. They are also able to traverse across dimensions utilizing the Cryptoliths as conduits into the [[Ascendant Realm]] and must be drawn out with a [[Cryptolith Lure|Lure]] built by [[Uldren Sov|The Crow]]. | Wrathborn are mindless, enraged versions of their former selves, attacking former allies as readily as enemies.
