Ascendant Hive

An Ascendant Hive is a title given to those special Hive warriors who command legions of warriors and earned the right to enter the Hive gods' throne worlds through the Killing Logic.^[1] Some Ascendant Hive possess Oversouls in which they separate their souls from their bodies and become resistant to death.
