At some point either before or after Nokris's excommunication, Xol created the Ogre [[Golgoroth]] to challenge Oryx. However, his kin, [[Eir, the Keeper of Order|Eir]], intervened to remake the beast into an even more monstrous and powerful shape to serve Oryx instead and protect the Tablets of Ruin. | At some point either before or after Nokris's excommunication, Xol created the Ogre [[Golgoroth]] to challenge Oryx.

After Nokris' excommunication by Oryx, Nokris and Xol departed from the rest of the Hive and set out to find a new world to rule. Nokris chose [[Mars]] in the [[Sol system]], and arrived there with Xol and the Grasp of Nokris during the Collapse. Xol and Nokris engaged with the Warmind Rasputin and became trapped under the [[Hellas Basin]] of Mars, before being reawakened by multiple [[Warsat]] impacts in the region and the [[Traveler|Traveler's]] reawakening centuries later.<ref>[https://www.destinythegame.com/expansion2 '''Destiny the Game''': ''Expansion Pass II'']</ref> | After Nokris' excommunication by Oryx, Nokris and Xol departed from the rest of the Hive and set out to find a new world to rule.

As with other Worm Gods, however, Xol's death was not his ending. Drawing power from the [[Sword Logic]] upon his defeat at the hands of the Guardian, Xol transcended physical death and communed with the [[Taken]] infesting the Jovian moon [[Io]], resurrecting three former [[Urzok, Aspect of Hate|enemies]] [[Ta'aurc, Aspect of War|of]] [[Drevis, Aspect of Darkness|humanity]] as his Taken champions.<ref name=WotW>'''Bungie (2018/5/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]'': ''[[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]], Item Description: [[Whisper of the Worm#Lore|Whisper of the Worm]].''</ref> His presence caused a spike in Taken activity on Io according to the [[Drifter]], as Guardians reported a Taken anomaly found beneath the planet's surface where all three of his champions were there to test them.

Nokris, Xol's former high priest and the namesake of his followers, survived his encounter with the Guardians but became dejected after learning the Worm God had abandoned him for his killers. Despite the many traces of Xol's influence remaining on Mars, Nokris used a scrap of his Worm-hide as a catalyst to craft his own [[Ascendant plane|Ascendant]] gate from the grave-corpse legions of his risen brood. His actions to deceiving the Guardians would earn him a place in his aunt [[Savathûn|Savathûn's]] [[High Coven|court]] as her supplicant.<ref name="FALSE IDOLS">'''Bungie (2020/6/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Arrivals]], [[Weblore]]: [[Weblore# | Nokris, Xol's former high priest and the namesake of his followers, survived his encounter with the Guardians but became dejected after learning the Worm God had abandoned him for his killers.
