===Scorn Breakout===
Two years following the death of her brother [[Oryx, the Taken King|Oryx]] and sometime after the [[Red War]], Xivu Arath began committing her forces to the Solar System, possibly in aid of her sister Savathûn or for her own schemes. An Ogre, [[Megor, Spawn of Xivu]], was imprisoned in the [[Prison of Elders]] had seemingly been leading a Hive cult with [[Ir Yun, Cult of Megor]] and would later break free from containment during the [[Scorn]]'s [[Hunt for the Scorn|jailbreak]].<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Mission]]: [[Last Call]]''</ref>

===Curse on the Dreaming City===
After the breakout, a substantial force of Hive and Taken had begun to pillage [[Awoken]] artifacts for unknown purposes. It would later be revealed that members of Xivu's own brood, [[Sugroth, Shield of Xivu Arath|Sugroth]], [[Hasaak, Venom of Xivu Arath|Hasaak]] and [[Tulkor, Ferocity of Xivu Arath|Tulkor]] were sent to both steal the artifacts and keep them out of the Guardian's reach. As the Guardians would cut through Xivu's forces, they would find out that some Taken champions, [[Crorok, Will of Xivu Arath|Crorok]] and [[Xaras, Greed of Xivu Arath|Xaras]] were apparently obedient to the war goddess with the latter being the commanding force of the Taken and Hive's pillaging schemes.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Mission]]: [[Broken Courier]]''</ref>

After the blunder of their artifact theft, members of Xivu's own lineage, [[An Ragaar, Son of Xivu Arath|An Ragaar]],  [[Tir Balok, Daughter of Xivu Arath|Tir Balok]] and [[Xavan, Daughter of Xivu Arath|Xavan]], while aided by [[Ruithe, Sworn to Xivu Arath|Ruithe]], utilized [[Blight]]s to block communications with the Oracle Engine from both forces of the Scorn and Guardian alike. However, the Guardians would take relics dropped by Xivu's slain forces to destroy the Blights and gain entry towards the [[Spine of Keres]].<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Mission]]: [[The Oracle Engine]]''</ref>

===Lunar Nightmares===
===Shadowkeep===
While the Horde itself does not make an appearance during the [[Haunting of the Moon]], the [[Nightmare]] of one of her champions, [[Nightmare of Jaxx, Claw of Xivu Arath|Jaxx, Claw of Xivu Arath]], would manifest on the [[Moon]], among the many other Nightmares to be confronted by the [[Guardian]]s.
One of Xivu's former champions; [[Nightmare of Jaxx, Claw of Xivu Arath|Jaxx, Claw of Xivu Arath]], can be seen manifesting in the form of an [[Nightmare]], however, would be slain by the Guardians.


===Rise of the Wrathborn===
===Season of The Hunt===
In a ploy to seize power in the wake of many of the celestial bodies of the system vanishing, Xivu Arath's influence in the form of her Wrathborn and the [[High Celebrant of Xivu Arath]] would appear. The High Celebrant was sent to Luna to wrest free the [[Hidden Swarm]] from [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen|The Witch Queen's]] plans and instead reform Luna in Xivu's image, a warring world where all tithes were tribute to her. The High Celebrant would have their plans thwarted by [[Osiris]], who slew the near entirety of the Scarlet Court. However, Osiris would fall and strain against the sheer will of Xivu Arath's projection, allowing the High Celebrant to mark runes around him and prepare him for his death. Osiris was saved by the sacrifice of his [[Ghost]] [[Sagira]], who self destructed to stun and halt the Hive. Osiris was greeted with little respite though, for the High Celebrant immediately sought off to hunt him, only to be thwarted again by [[The Guardian]] and the [[Uldren Sov|Crow]], forcing the Celebrant to retreat to the [[Ascendant Plane]].<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/16)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Hunt]] - [[Mission]]: [[Trail of the Hunted]]''</ref>

With Osiris reunited with the forces of [[Light]], though mourning, the extent of the Horde's invasion was unveiled. Xivu Arath's first operation consisted in deploying [[Cryptolith]]s, organic Hive structures that borrow into the Material Plane and root themselves, calling out to nearby beings, drawing them closer to transform them into [[Wrathborn]]. These Cryptoliths started corrupting Eliksni, but quickly spread to Hive and Cabal. Commanded and aided in their spread by the High Celebrant of Xivu Arath, the Wrathborn would become Xivu Arath's vanguard in the system. To combat this threat, the Guardians agree to a partnership with [[The Spider|the Spider]], also the master of the Crow, who is, in reality, Uldren Sov revived as a Guardian. In the ensuing weeks, Xivu Arath's Horde would fight alongside the Wrathborn born of [[House of Spider]], [[House of Dusk]], and even other Hive, attempting to establish a foothold while the Guardians hunted the most powerful of them. As for the corrupted Red Legion, none were encountered, which has concerned Crow. After several weeks of tracking and eliminations, the Guardians managed to corner the High Celebrant, and with their death, the first foray of the Horde into the Solar System would be momentarily halted.<ref name="CDG">'''Bungie (2020/11/16)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Hunt]] - [[Mission]]: [[Coup de Grâce]]''</ref>
Following the Darkness's arrival, Nokris' fall, and various worlds of the Sol System going dark, the Guardians discover a rise of corrupted Hive activity within the Tangled Shore and the Dreaming City of the Reef. They soon learn that the Hive's God of War, [[Xivu Arath]], has begun to marshal her forces in preparation for the Darkness's next move. This was achieved from her [[Cryptolith|Cryptoliths]], organic Hive structures that borrow into the material plane and root themselves, calling out to nearby beings, drawing them closer to transform them into [[Wrathborn]]. These Cryptoliths started corrupting Eliksni but quickly spread to Hive and Cabal. Commanded and aided in their spread by the [[High Celebrant of Xivu Arath|High Celebrant]], they would be the Wrathborn's command and Xivu Arath's lead in the system. To combat this threat, the Guardians agree to a partnership with the Spider and to work with a mysterious Lightborn called the [[Uldren Sov|Crow]], who is, in reality, Uldren Sov revived as a Guardian. In the ensuing weeks Wrathborn of [[House of Spider]], [[House of Dusk]], and the broods of the Hive would be hunted down. As for the corrupted Red Legion, none were encountered, which has concerned Crow.
