The World's Grave is an area of the Hellmouth on the Moon. It is a large archive that houses much of the Hive's lore.
History
The Guardian's Rise
When The Guardian first came upon the forces of the Hive, they made several forays into the World's Grave. Most notably, to recover all the information the Hive had of Earth, and then to stop a ritual that was taking place in the area, which the invaders were using to drain the Traveler's Light. [1]
The Taken War
During the Taken War, the Guardian was forced to flee the depths of the Moon by passing through the World's Grave, which had is chambers sealed with Tomb Husks by the Taken King's forces.
Haunting of the Moon
Several years later, Guardian forces returned to the Grave to find it in a state of semi-abandon, many of its halls now filled with discolored filth. The Nightmare of Omnigul, Will of Crota made her lair here, in the chamber where the ritual to drain the traveler took place years before, and was repeatedly hunted down by Guardian Fireteams.
Points of interest
The World's Grave is the Hive's entire archive where they store their information of Earth, their operations there and of every world that has been encountered, things that they fear and have buried in the archives, and destroyed by the Black Fleet.[2] It even possesses a detailed schematic of the Dreadnaught[3] and references of Hive anatomy based around ingesting Worms for survival.[4] However, contents can also be expunged from the Hive's records of the World's Grave, including the existence of Nokris after the latter committed heresy.[5]
In Shadowkeep, a Barrier Knight occasionally lurks in the area, and Lunar Scavengers can also appear here.
