| *The [[Worm]]s, an intelligent species able to wield the power of the [[Darkness]] directly, are trapped in the depths of a global ocean within one of the atmospheric layers of the gas giant [[Fundament]]. The Traveler's priest, a creature called [[Leviathan]], also dwells in the deeper Fundament and attempts to dissuade anyone from seeking them out. The Worms in turn begin calling across the stars to other species, seeking to lure one that can free them.<ref>Bungie (2014/9/9), Destiny: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard,[[Grimoire/Enemies/Books_of_Sorrow#IX:_The_Bargain|Grimoire:Books of Sorrow IX:The Bargain]]</ref><ref>Bungie (2014/9/9), Destiny: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire/Enemies/Books_of_Sorrow#XVIII:_Leviathan_Rises|Grimoire:Books of Sorrow XVIII:Leviathan Rises]]</ref> As a result, hundreds of species migrate to Fundament and become stranded there - eking out a living on the shards of their broken worlds which become floating continents. One such species was the proto-[[Hive]], whose homeworld collided with Fundament and shattered. The proto-Hive survive and build a new civilization for themselves on the floating shards of their former homeworld, gradually forgetting their original history. <ref>Bungie (2014/9/9), Destiny: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire/Enemies/Darkness#Calcified_Fragments:_Curiosity|Grimoire:Calcified Fragment: Curiosity]]</ref>

| *At eight years of age, the proto-Hive [[Osmium King]] of the Osmium Court on Fundament sires his final brood of offspring, which include his three daughters [[Xivu Arath|Xi Ro]], [[Savathûn|Sathona]], and [[Oryx, the Taken King|Aurash]] who are tutored by sterile mother [[Taox]]. At ten years of age, the Osmium King begins to succumb to senility and madness; becoming consumed with ancient texts and obsessing over the movements of Fundament's moons, and the possibility of a catastrophic alignment called the Syzygy.<ref>Bungie (2014/9/9), Destiny: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire/Enemies/Books_of_Sorrow#II:_The_Hateful_Verse|Grimoire:Books of Sorrow II: The Hateful Verse]]</ref>

| |
| *Fearing for the Osmium Court's future and believing the royal daughters were unsuited to rule, Taox secretly contacts the rival continent's Helium Drinkers of the Helium Court, inviting them to invade, assassinate the royal family, and install her as a subservient regent of the Osmium Court in exchange for engines capable of moving their continent. The Helium Drinkers agree, resulting in the Osmium Court's fall and the death of the Osmium King, but the royal daughters escape and vow to take revenge. <ref>Bungie (2014/9/9), Destiny: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire/Enemies/Books_of_Sorrow#II:_The_Hateful_Verse|Grimoire:Books of Sorrow II: The Hateful Verse]]</ref><ref>Bungie (2014/9/9), Destiny: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire/Enemies/Books_of_Sorrow#III:_The_Oath|Grimoire:Books of Sorrow III: The Oath]]</ref>
