Shin'ra would be present in the Hive's war against the [[Harmony]], destroying their many vessels and successfully conquering their Wishful Bishops compared to Xivu Arath who struggled against them. When Oryx toppled the [[Gift Mast]] and offered its pieces to his broods, Shin'ra would take one of these fragments for study. He would use the fragment as a basis for what would later be known as the '''[[Weapons of Sorrow]]''', while the shard itself would be known as the ''Lucent Armament'', the basis for the Weapons of Sorrow's antithesis, the ''Weapons of Hope''. | Shin'ra would be present in the Hive's war against the [[Harmony]], destroying their many vessels and successfully conquering their Wishful Bishops compared to Xivu Arath who struggled against them.

His actions would create a death cult under the command of his vassal, [[Forum:Acaeleon, Vassal to Shin'ra|Acaeleon]]. This death cult would begin sacrifices as a means to return the Traveler back to the Nadheal, however this was only a clever rouse by Shin'ra to tithe their deaths to him instead. This death cult would persist through several years as the God of Forge slowly began to reveal himself to Acaeleon, promising to offer a greater power than the Traveler ever could. | His actions would create a death cult under the command of his vassal, [[Forum:Acaeleon, Vassal to Shin'ra|Acaeleon]].

Fully under the thrall of the Hive God, Acaeleon would instigate a galactic scale civil war in the Nadheal home system. Their various colonies burned and destroyed and their capital in ruins with all that remained of their civilization forced to live on large cruisers for survival. Even under the control of Shin'ra, Acaeleon doubted his own actions and the destruction of his people.

When the Witness was [[Iconoclasm|initially]] excised from three of its dissenting minds, Shin'ra finally took the chance to abandon the Witness and pull his remaining forces and Dread warriors from the Pale Heart. Shin'ra would consolidate his forces deep within the Nephilim, which around the same time, a Ghost by the name of Adrian would investigate the Nephilim and study further effects of the Darkness and its connection to Corruption. As the Guardians searched for the lost Ghost, they would have to go into Warpriest's Keep and hunt down the now resurrected Jirgâth. After finding the whereabouts of Adrian, the Ghost had unintentionally left behind some telemetry that he gathered while exploring the Nephilim.

After finding the whereabouts of Adrian, the Ghost had unintentionally left behind some telemetry that he gathered while exploring the Nephilim. Shin'ra was gathering his forces en masse due to Xivu Arath's excommunication by accumulating and offering her remaining Wrathborn to the Hive Disciple and use that tribute to claim the Hive throne. They would also understand that Shin'ra's forces were trying to locate a device or structure known as the [[Forum:Hadium Forge|Hadium Forge]]. | ||
After the Witness's death, the forces of the Last City would rejoice, despite the fact that its death would leave a massive power vacuum in its wake. As its remaining forces would continue on with enacting the Final Shape to their own ends, Shin'ra sought the power that would come from the Witness's death, the [[Echo (object)|Echoes]], believing that one alone could be used to enact his own plans for a Final Shape. | After the Witness's death, the forces of the Last City would rejoice, despite the fact that its death would leave a massive power vacuum in its wake.
