On the day of the ritual to exorcise Savathûn's worm, Xivu Arath's brood, in a last-ditch effort to capture their master's sister, launched a massive assault on the Dreaming City and attempted to overwhelm the Blind Well. Despite being unsuccessful in preventing the realignment of the Ley Lines, this would allow the Hive army to travel through the Ascendant Plane and begin swarming the Ritual Spire, in which the exorcism was taking place until they were once again pushed back by the Guardians. Desperate to capture Savathûn, Kruutiks, [[Kholks, Taken of Xivu Arath|Kholks]], and finally [[Kelgorath, Risen from Bones]], forced their way into the Spire, followed by hordes of Xivu's forces, and attacked the ritual, but ultimately failed and were defeated at the hands of the Lightbearers. | On the day of the ritual to exorcise Savathûn's worm, Xivu Arath's brood, in a last-ditch effort to capture their master's sister, launched a massive assault on the Dreaming City and attempted to overwhelm the Blind Well.

=== | ===Corrupting the Warmind=== | ||
After failing to capture the Witch Queen, Xivu Arath's Horde would lie low for some time as the Guardians themselves dealt with Savathûn and her newly formed [[Lucent Brood]], who both now wielded the Light. However, as [[The Witness]], the true master of the Black Fleet, drew near, Xivu Arath sought to prepare the system for its invasion and thus began to target the Warmind [[Rasputin]] and his formidable Warsat Network. Further, the Witness gave Xivu Arath and her Horde free rein on punishing [[Eramis]] and her [[House of Salvation]] for failing to acquire the Relics of [[Nezarec]], mainly driving many of its members into becoming Wrathborn or killing lieutenants and resurrecting them as Scorn to serve Xivu Arath, such as [[Praksis]]. | |||
Though Xivu Arath and her Horde managed to acquire access to some of Rasputin's defense protocol and entrance to his Submind Vaults through the use of Eramis' House Splicers, teh whole of the Network remained out of their reach. To achieve their goals, Xivu Arath directed her forces to target one of the Warmind's chief creators, Clovis Bray I on Europa. The Guardians however, stymied their efforts by routing the Exoscience Labs where Clovis was stationed and brought him into the plan to restore the Warmind and counter Xivu Arath. The Bray patriarch directed the Guardians to gather Rasputin's subminds to aid in Rasputin's restoration, leading them to infiltrate each of the Submind Vaults and slay their defenders, most notably [[Warwatcher, Eye of Xivu Arath]] and Kelgorath, who Xivu Arath had restored and made a Darkblade. | |||
However, as the Guardians made progress in restoring Rasputin, the Vanguard's leaders, mainly Mara Sov and Osiris, began to wonder in Xivu Arath's true goals, as she only had her Wrathborn leading the fight, a token force, to stop them, leading the Awoken Queen to believe that seizing the Warsat Network may not be the War God's plan. With deduction and reasoning, Mara came to the conclusion that Xivu Arath wants the Guardians to restore Rasputin so the Warmind can use his arsenal to smite her forces in which the resulting conflict and bloodshed would not only feed her worm but also serve as fuel to open a portal to summon the full force of her army onto to Earth. Such an invasion would overwhelm humanity, much like the Cabal experienced on Torobatl. | |||
Reasoning that they can't restore Rasputin and let him use his arsenal yet at the same time, they can't allow Eramis to access the Network, the Vanguard Coalition agree that they restore Rasputin as planned but he refrain from using his Warsats. Thus, they would create a stalemate with Xivu Arath, denying her the requirements she needs for her ritual. Unfortunately, Eramis and her Splicers would manage to gain access to Rasputin's ABHORRENT IMPERATIVE protocol, the order that Rasputin created which would direct the Warsats to target the Traveler in the event it ever began to leave Earth. The Guardians raced to the control hub of the network, the orbital station, Seraph Station, to prevent this but were impeded by Eramis' forces and that of Xivu Arath's Horde, led by [[Ir Garza, Scourge of Earth]]. Despite their efforts, Rasputin destroyed the Warsat Network by sacrificing himself to activating his AURORA SACRIFICE protocol, robing Xivu Arath's requirements for her ritual. | |||
With her plans in shambles, Xivu Arath ordered her Horde to withdraw from Earth and Mars but they would continue to cling onto Europa, leading Guardians to continue operations on the frozen moon. | |||
