Rhulk and Savathûn would form an impertinent rivalry in the eons they spend in each other's company; the former being ordered by the Witness to station his Pyramid in Savathûn's newly constructed [[Savathûn's Throne World|Throne World]] to oversee the Witch Queen in the production of [[Worm]] larvae for the rest of the Hive. At first Rhulk was displeased with this assignment, taking an immediate dislike to Savathûn and wondered whether he was being punished for his prior failure with the Ahslid. The first time Rhulk stepped foot into her realm, the Witch Queen kept her face twisted to betray restrained delight at the Lubrean's arrival. In his messages to the Witness, Rhulk would only scoff at her willfulness to turn a blind eye from the precarity of her current situation: being that she was now living within a prison formed from her own ego and the First Disciple was to be her jailer.<ref name="Resonant Fury Cowl">'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - [[Armor|Armor lore]]: [[Resonant Fury Suit (Warlock)#Resonant Fury Cowl|Resonant Fury Cowl]]''</ref> | Rhulk and Savathûn would form an impertinent rivalry in the eons they spend in each other's company; the former being ordered by the Witness to station his Pyramid in Savathûn's newly constructed [[Savathûn's Throne World|Throne World]] to oversee the Witch Queen in the production of [[Worm]] larvae for the rest of the Hive.

Rhulk would occasionally relay reports to his master voicing his concerns with Savathûn, one of which being that of her peeved reaction to his continued presence in her throne world. The disciple, who was initially elated much to the delight from her indignation, had his suspicions of any ulterior motives that she possessed given her conniving and opportunistic nature, but remained hopeful nonetheless of her growing conviction to their cause. Regardless of her unwilling cooperation, construction of the larvae breeding chambers had commence with the armies of [[Oryx, the Taken King]] and [[Xivu Arath, God of War]] expected to grow exponentially in short order. Should Savathûn do anything to cross their interests, however, Rhulk would not hesitate to threaten the destruction of her throne world with the [[Upended]].<ref name="Resonant Fury Gloves">'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - [[Armor|Armor lore]]: [[Resonant Fury Suit (Warlock)#Resonant Fury Gloves|Resonant Fury Gloves]]''</ref> | Rhulk would occasionally relay reports to his master voicing his concerns with Savathûn, one of which being that of her peeved reaction to his continued presence in her throne world.

In a rare moment of reprieve from his duty overseeing the Witch Queen, Rhulk had stepped out of the throne world for the first time in an unknown while. Ever driven to conquer an empire once more, Rhulk chose the ringed world of [[Kalarahnda]], with its yellow haze streaking ruby clouds, as his intended target. The vaulted ring surrounding Kalarahnda was immediately shattered at the Lubrean's hands into a shimmer-like, windblown sand much to his exhilarating glory. His destructive revelry would only be short-lived, however, as an apocalyptic cult called the [[Polyps of the Longshadow]] emerged from the shadows in jubilation at the breaking of the vaulted ring. Having divined Rhulk's coming to be the final sign of their ascension, they unleashed their doomsday armaments upon Kalarahnda and scrubbed all life on the planet; stealing the former the purity of their extinction. In a report to the Witness, Rhulk would deduce Kalarahnda's destruction to be the guileful work of Savathûn herself, undermining him of his involvement.<ref name="Resonant Fury Robes">'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - [[Armor|Armor lore]]: [[Resonant Fury Suit (Warlock)#Resonant Fury Robes|Resonant Fury Robes]]''</ref> | In a rare moment of reprieve from his duty overseeing the Witch Queen, Rhulk had stepped out of the throne world for the first time in an unknown while.
