===Origins===

The origins of the Weavers date back millions of years ago ~~with~~ Shin'ra~~'s joining of~~ the Hive. He founded the Weavers as the creators ~~for~~ the Hive's weapons and eventually ~~create~~ the forsaken Weapons of Sorrow, using [[Forum:High Forge|his]] [[Ascendant Realm|Throne World]] as their contemporary lair. Curious Hive would join the ranks of the Weavers, like Zâtrox of the Hidden Swarm, ~~whom~~ would be the first of Shin'ra's Court of Sorrow. Upon the creation of his Court, he would establish his line of tribute, which allowed Shin'ra to feed deaths that his own weapons would cause.

Upon the creation of his Court, he would establish his line of tribute, which allowed Shin'ra to feed deaths that his own weapons would cause.

Through the line of tribute, Shin'ra's ranks would begin to swell with many commanders rising up the ranks. At an unknown point, he would carve his own ship from many corpses of Leviathan type creatures, the Nephilim. His forces would continue on their hunt with the Leviathans, using various [[Tomb Carrier]]s to delve into the seas of various worlds and take the beasts as prisoners. These Hive would become his [[Forum:Celebrant of Shin'ra|Celebrants]]. They would serve a subdivision in the Weavers known as the Cult of Unmaking, evokers of pain and suffering to those that Shin'ra would call an enemy.

===War against the Tarnished===

His actions would of course put him into the good graces of the Witness in which he would be put into temporary care of the [[The Veil|Veil]]. He would attempt to study the Veil and its primordial Darkness, only to unleash the Weaver's mortal enemies, the [[Forum:Tarnished|Tarnished]]. A war would break out aboard the Maker's warship, which would later lead to the imprisonment of the Tarnished and the banishment of their leader, [[Forum:Mallum, the Scarlet King|Mallum]], from the planes of reality.

Shin'ra would see to it that the Tarnished would stay imprisoned aboard his ship, building what would be known as the [[Forum:The Jade Citadel|Jade Citadel]], a fount of Corruption that would continue to hold the Tarnished at bay. Though banished from all realms of reality, he would continue to commune with his Tarnished servants from within the [[Forum:The Scarlet Temple|Scarlet Temple]].

Shin'ra and his brood would arrive in the [[Sol System]] shortly after the return of the [[Black Fleet]]. They would await in the Kuiper Belt for any response from the Witness to make their next move. At an unknown point, Shin'ra would tempt the Fallen of the [[House of Dusk]] to invade the Nephilim, tricking them with new power through Corruption, only to be used as tribute to be fed upon.

During the events of the [[War of Salvation]], Shin'ra would appoint one of his spawn, [[Forum:Ir Naziith, Spawn of Shin'ra|Ir Naziith]], to recruit Hive within the [[Cosmodrome]] to join the Weavers. Eventually their plans would be foiled by a newly risen [[Lightbearer]] who would stop Naziith at every turn, burning down Hive strongholds and eventually killing Naziith before she could contact her father. Even through this small inconvenience, Naziith would survive the battle, with her soul escaping into her father's Throne World.

After Xivu Arath~~'s failure~~ to conjure any Wrathborn in the [[Reef]] and [[Dreaming City]], Shin'ra would commit to subsuming any remaining Wrathborn and Hive that did not submit to Xivu Arath for his own brood. One of his commanders, [[Forum:An Irvask, High Conjurer|An Irvask]] and Shin'ra himself, would personally see to the conversion of the Wrathborn into tribute and any Hive that skulked in the [[European Dead Zone]] and the [[Moon]] respectively, to be converted to worshiping the Maker. Their efforts would be stopped by the [[The Guardian|Guardian]] who would find out about Shin'ra's recruitment campaign and would temporarily shut it down.

Their efforts would be stopped by the [[The Guardian|Guardian]] who would find out about Shin'ra's recruitment campaign and would temporarily shut it down.

The Guardians would eventually locate the Maker's ship which was held up in the Kuiper Belt, seeking to take out the danger from the source. The Guardians would learn of the newfound power of Darkness through Corruption, taking out some of Shin'r's Taken commanders, however they were unable to locate the Maker in his massive warship. Seeing how much of a nuisance the Guardians were, Shin'ra would appoint his high ranking commanders to continue his plan to recruit more Hive, sending [[Forum:Davaj, the Blademaster|Davaj, the Blademaster]] to the Moon, [[Forum:Kramûc, the Huntsman|Kramûc, the Huntsman]] to the [[Tangled Shore]] and [[Forum:Ir Abzûl, the Cryptkeeper|Ir Abzûl, the Cryptkeeper]] to the EDZ to accomplish it.

===Hunting the Court===

The Guardians would return to the Moon to locate Davaj, a powerful [[Vanquisher]] and blademaster of the Weavers. He made the decree that Lightbearers would have to test their own strength before facing them. Using the very swords against the Hive, the Guardians would cut down through Davaj's forces and defenses, killing Davaj with the very blades that he wielded against his enemies.

Later on, the Guardians would locate the lair of Kramûc, the Huntsman, who retook the lair of [[Enkaar, the Anointed]], [[Hellrise Canyon]]. They would have to escape the various traps left by the Huntsman, learning that they were the ones being hunted by the expert marksman. Turning his own traps against him, Kramûc would eventually fall to his own hubris and ~~died by~~ the hands of the Guardians.

Turning his own traps against him, Kramûc would eventually fall to his own hubris and die at the hands of the Guardians.

Next they would have to hunt down one of the commanders to the Taken, Ir Abzûl, the Cryptkeeper, who had made her lair deep within the [[Salt Mines]] within the EDZ. Trimming through the Taken that served the Cryptkeeper, they would find the powerful Wizard deep within the Mines, learning that she had constructed ~~and~~ Ascendant Rift to the Nephilim, allowing the Weavers to invade [[Earth]] on its doorstep. Using the Taken's power against her, Ir Abzûl would fall just like her predecessors.

The Guardians, with their newfound power, would continue to hunt down members of the Court of Sorrow, eventually taking their slaughter directly to Shin'ra's Warpriest [[Forum:Jirgâth, the Warpriest|Jirgâth]] within his own lair aboard the Nephilim. Making their way through the Tomb Carrier's docking bay, they would find Jirgâth's tower that overlooked the ship's bay. Even with Taken reinforcements, they would turn Jirgâth's command against him, ending Shin'ra's Warpriest.

===Maker's First Defeat===

Seeing how his court fell to the hands of the Guardians, he would issue a challenge to them, showing them visions of the power he personally saw to the creation of, including the Weapons of Sorrow. Determined to take vengeance those ~~that~~ fell to the corruption of the Hive, the Guardian would make it their mission to take down Shin'ra and end the [[Forum:Corruption's Insurgence|Corruption's Insurgence]].

The Guardians would arrive on the Nephilim to make their way to the Jade Citadel. Through their journey, Shin'ra would commune with them with Corruption, claiming that with his power, he ~~can~~ end all suffering and render the pain given to them by the Light, stating that Corruption was offered to them by Shin'ra who wanted to make them his champion by killing his court. His words would be ignored by the Guardians as they would cut through the Citadel's wardens and Shin'ra's Taken forces, eventually reaching the pinnacle of Shin'ra's throne atop the Citadel. They would battle, eventually leading to Shin'ra temporarily immobilizing the Guardian in a similar manner to the [[High Celebrant of Xivu Arath|High Celebrant]] before him. Unleashing the mighty burst of Corruption, the Maker would fall and his soul would escape to his Throne World.
