The Hive trace their origins to a gas giant named [[Fundament]]. Long ago, the proto-Hive crashed their homeworld into Fundament, ostensibly to hide from something unknown. The shards of this homeworld became a number of continents that floated upon a sea called the Fundament Ocean within a layer of the gas giant's atmosphere, and the proto-Hive eventually built a meager civilization upon them and forgot their old history. In addition to the proto-Hive, Fundament was home to hundreds of other intelligent species, and Fundament's 52 moons were inhabited by a spacefaring species called the [[Ammonite]]s who were overseen by the [[Traveler]].<ref name="Curiosity">[http://db.destinytracker.com/grimoire/enemies/darkness/calcified-fragments-curiosity '''Destiny Tracker''' - ''Grimoire: Calcified Fragments: Curiosity'']</ref><ref name="Shadows">[http://db.destinytracker.com/grimoire/enemies/books-of-sorrow '''Destiny Tracker''' - ''Grimoire: Books of Sorrow'']</ref> | The Hive trace their origins to a gas giant named [[Fundament]].

Life was quick and harsh for the proto-Hive. Their natural lifespan rarely exceeded ten Fundament-years, though females who ate "mother jelly" became able to spawn and live longer. In terms of environmental hazards, Fundament was almost inhospitable. The Fundament Ocean was toxic, the skies were eternally stormy, the rain poisonous and sometimes corrosive, lightning had enough power to vaporize anyone it struck, "living clouds" called Stormjoys would prey on the populace, and the proto-Hive frequently warred with each other.<ref name="Shadows"/> | Life was quick and harsh for the proto-Hive.

The progenitors of the contemporary Hive were [[Xivu Arath|Xi Ro]], [[Savathûn|Sathona]], and [[Oryx|Aurash]], the three daughters of the [[Osmium King]] who ruled the continent called the Osmium Court. When the Osmium King was ten years old, he fell to madness, fearing an event called the Syzygy wherein Fundament's 52 moons would align and create a massive tidal wave, the God-Wave, that would destroy Fundament's civilizations. [[Taox]], a sterile mother who served as the teacher to the King's daughters, feared the King's daughters were too weak to succeed the King and invited a rival kingdom, the Helium Drinkers of the Helium Court, to invade the Osmium Court, kill the royal family, and allow Taox to rule the Osmium Court as their regent. The Helium Drinkers invaded and slew the Osmium King, but the three sisters, two years old at the time, escaped on a ship and vowed to take their revenge against the Helium King and Taox.<ref name="Shadows"/> | The progenitors of the contemporary Hive were [[Xivu Arath|Xi Ro]], [[Savathûn|Sathona]], and [[Oryx|Aurash]], the three daughters of the [[Osmium King]] who ruled the continent called the Osmium Court.
