Zulmak | Zulmak became a rising champion within the Pit beneath what would become the [[Scarlet Keep]], aspiring to take the Osmium Throne through his own [[Sword Logic]]. Zulmak's quest to [[Ascendant Hive|ascend]] as the newest Hive [[Prince]] pitted him against multiple other Hive combatants in the Pit; many that challenged him in gladiator-style combat and were met with overwhelming slaughter.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''',''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], Lore: [[Lore:Inquisition of the Damned#III: Ritualistic Circle Pit|III: Ritualistic Circle Pit]]''</ref> His triumphs were only met with disappointment from the daughters of the [[Crota]], who saw him as a threat to their [[Oryx, the Taken King|grandfather's]] legacy.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''',''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], Lore: [[Lore:Inquisition of the Damned#X: Faith in Bone|X: Faith in Bone]]''</ref> | ||
After winning his third streak within the Pits, he was bifurcated and killed by the [[Deathsinger]] [[Ir Airâm, Deathsinger|Azavath]], whose body became possessed by her enraged [[Knight]] brother [[Akrazul]] in desecration of the Sword-Logic itself.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''',''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], Lore: [[Lore:Inquisition of the Damned#XI: The Anti-Logic|XI: The Anti-Logic]]''</ref> With his body in its final grasps, Zulmak was met with whispers of the [[Savathûn, the Witch-Queen|Witch-Queen]] herself, who proceeded to take his dying essence from his broken body and gifted it to her grand-nieces to be raised as a champion bound to their will.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/29)''',''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], Lore: [[Lore:Inquisition of the Damned#XI.X: Apocrypha|XI.X: Apocrypha]]''</ref> | After winning his third streak within the Pits, he was bifurcated and killed by the [[Deathsinger]] [[Ir Airâm, Deathsinger|Azavath]], whose body became possessed by her enraged [[Knight]] brother [[Akrazul]] in desecration of the Sword-Logic itself.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''',''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], Lore: [[Lore:Inquisition of the Damned#XI: The Anti-Logic|XI: The Anti-Logic]]''</ref> With his body in its final grasps, Zulmak was met with whispers of the [[Savathûn, the Witch-Queen|Witch-Queen]] herself, who proceeded to take his dying essence from his broken body and gifted it to her grand-nieces to be raised as a champion bound to their will.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/29)''',''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], Lore: [[Lore:Inquisition of the Damned#XI.X: Apocrypha|XI.X: Apocrypha]]''</ref> | ||

With the deaths of Hashladûn and Besurith at the hands of the [[Guardian]]s, the remaining daughters went into hiding in the Pit beneath the Scarlet Keep. Out of fear and desperation, the Hive began [[Altars of Sorrow|sacrificing]] Nightmares en masse and harvesting their dark energy into crystals for a ritual to commune with [[The Witness]]. Their actions created seismic activity, however, which drew Eris Morn's attention towards the Pit, prompting her to send a fireteam to investigate.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/29)''',''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hev8IF4neTw The Deepening Wake]''</ref> | With the deaths of Hashladûn and Besurith at the hands of the [[Guardian]]s, the remaining daughters went into hiding in the Pit beneath the Scarlet Keep.
