- "Do you feel it as I do, Guardian?
A hatred as pure and potent as sunshine, soaking through your skin?
Hashladûn knows what the Guardians have done. She watched as her lineage fell, one after the other - Crota, Oryx, Omnigul.
And she is eager to return that pain." - — Eris Morn to the Guardian
Hashladûn, Daughter of Crota (also known as the Inundated) is an Ascendant Hive Wizard and the eldest of the daughters (her, Besurith, Voshyr, and Kinox) of the Hive god Crota, Son of Oryx and Omnigul, Will of Crota, as well as granddaughter of Oryx, the Taken King. She is the architect of the Scarlet Keep, harnessing the Nightmares of the Pyramid that lies beneath.
Hashladûn lures The Guardian to the top of the Scarlet Tower so she can take revenge for her fallen family. In the end, she is defeated by The Guardian.
Biography
- "Let this one be inundated in the old way of floods; let her greatness be reduced to only what is greatest, for she has an excess, and excess is the capacity to be stringently purified."
- — Crota
Hashladûn began as an abnormally large and strong Thrall, "huge of crest and thick of arm". Viewing this as excessive, her father Crota ordered her ritually mutilated "in the old way of floods" in order to reduce her to a normal size and strength, and sent a hundred Thrall, ten Knights, and an Ogre to retrieve her. Hashladûn fought off the entire force, but was left exhausted; after that, Crota himself came for her, impressed but unrelenting, and took her to a floodplain deep within the Ascendant plane, where she was impaled and "flooded" five times with various caustic and harmful substances.
After the five inundations, Hashladûn broke free from her impalement, starving, wounded, and much reduced, and crawled back to Crota's throne world. On witnessing her, Crota stated: “You are great now, and you cannot love Me. For the parts of you that were Mine have been taken from you; the parts that were His remain.” With all ties to Crota severed by the floods, and therefore rendered closer to Oryx, Hashladûn was sworn into her grandfather's court and banished from Crota's throne forever.
It is largely unknown what role Hashladûn played in her father's plans and conquests during the Hive's arrival in the Solar System but following Crota's fall, she was presumed dead. In truth, she hid beneath the Lunar surface and plotted her revenge against the Guardians for the deaths of her father, mother, and grandfather.
Shadowkeep
As the Guardians work with Eris Morn in entering the Pyramid beneath the Scarlet Keep, they encounter Hashladûn at the entrance. There, when the Guardian reaches the bridge to the Keep she appears and enacts her plan. The Guardian chases the Daughter of Crota through the Keep until finally facing her at the top of the tower. There, it is revealed Hashladûn lured the Guardians to her position to finally claim her revenge for her ravaged lineage. Despite her powers and using the Nightmares to her advantage, like her parents and grandfather before her, she falls to the Guardian. From her remains, the Guardians discover that Hashladûn managed to harness the Nightmares essence using a forbidden piece of Hive knowledge, the Cryptoglyph, hidden at the bottom of the Hellmouth.
Trivia
- As Hashladûn's health bar nears empty, the green light of her head changes to a fiery orange.

- Hashladûn is the third largest Wizard the players have encountered, the first being Nokris and the second being Dûl Incaru, the Eternal Return.
