foreign
so what if I told you that we were sent to kill the taken King by heiress but it was also part
of someone else's plans for at very least that it unfolded from a series of events that worked
out well for another person in this instance I'm not referring to ma resolve whose plans
hinged upon our own or totolan the shirt at who opportunistically of course would have loved to
take some Advantage from our different conquests on the Dreadnought no this time it relates to one
of the other Hive gods and astoundingly enough it isn't savithun it's shivor Wrath this has nothing
to do with oryx's plans either of course it has nothing to do with the touch of malice and nothing
to do with the long series of events that was conducted by crota it is closely linked to crota I
think it's a really important set of events in the story to understand because it changes the context
of literally everything to do with the downfall of oryx and it puts it in a better piece of context
and tells us hey The Hive guards were always fighting with each other at a certain point and
someone was trying to cause his downfall the whole time also from the most surface level of things it
explains why in the dark below expansion literally eight years ago we fought crota in a large Hive
Crystal as opposed to in his real physical form that we found in the raid this changing context
is important but more importantly it tells us about the ultimate revenge of oryx's sister
civil Roth the God of War but first a word from our sponsors at our plate gameplay capture has

anyway back to the law so let's talk a little about the circumstances under which shivu and
oryx were last interacting long story short it occurs at a crucial moment within the books of
sorrow and it's the moment at which the three Hive Gods began to split this sundering of the brute is
a crucial moment because it represents the moment where cooperation and violence as was typical for
the hive turned into competition and violence as was somewhat atypical this is a moment where
the hive were invading a system which contains a black hole there was a civilization built up
around this black hole called the Harmony and the black hole had been artificially stabilized and
maintained by The Traveler allowing the harmony to develop 10 planets within its orbit Harmony
also had a miraculous construct of Light which the black hole had contained it was called the
gift Mast and the hive were intending to devour it this is the moment at which friendly Love and
War Between The Hive Broods really broke off it's the moment of a great split and sundering and it
really is important to understand that this split here has huge consequences for the latest story
take a listen to the excerpt from the books of Sorrow as to what happened
the gift mast its Towers above this system like a monument to treason it beams with silver light it
sings a radio lullaby made of soothing lies in its light live the Harmony and they are now our prey
now arrives Shiva wrath at the head of her Armada she fights the harmony for 50 years
with strategies and discipline but the harmony turned to the wish dragons and their Wishful
Bishops wrestle shivu in the ascendant plane shivu falls into Deadlock next arrives savathune flanked
by her chorus and her celebrants they tricked their way onto anaharmony in disguises so that
they might vivisect these dragons the worm Our God laughs and laughs for a hundred years savathune
keeps secret covens among the harmony but first of all was oryx whose brood grew in secret places
in the rubble of the accretion disk the first navigator sends rocks and comets to crash into
the harmony worlds so that the harmony Fleet will be disarrayed he sends Cedars to infiltrate the
harmony worlds with his Broods here at the center of the fifth book The Hive has grown so mighty
that it has made annihilation of all false life routine Shiva wrath kills The Wishful Bishops and
savothune achieves some secret purpose and oryx's Court tears down the gift mast the harmony people
wail in Terror and they throw themselves into the Silver Lakes of anaharmony to drown come saith
oryx eat of the gift Mast for I am a generous God of its pieces I claim only two out of every five
the Mast is full of the light of the traveler it is full of the marrow Taste of the sky all who eat
of it are filled with the ecstatic certainty that they serve a great and necessary purpose
then say if savathoon siblings listen we must part ways a while so that we make grow different
she flies her War moons into the black hole a throne becomes distant
saith Shiva wrath King oryx you take up too much space your power constrains too many choices
I must go away from you she flies her warm moons away Into the Night her throne is barred shut
then oryx was alone he spent a while in thought and those thoughts are recorded here
this is the crucial moment of the story of The Hive as it's when the fates of the hive Gods
really started to become competitive with each other as opposed to Cooperative they fought and
killed each other previously they fought alongside each other their greater priority in such Wars was
not to dominate the others and to prevent them from ever achieving strength it was to achieve
dominance amongst the trio of course but it was never openly hostile in this strange way
removing themselves from the conflict that oryx had enacted was a way of civil wrath and savathun
declaring hostility it was something that meant that they were no longer looking to be cooperative
they were no longer working to become stronger together they desired power in a different manner
however after this split between the Broods the competition between them clearly became facer and
there were greater Notions of actual hostility and so different Hive Knights and different ascendants
started making their moves it's in these moments that we see everything start to unfold
this law however is something that we got very late in the day
this was only revealed to us back in Shadow keep and I've always been waiting for an appropriate
time to cover it and now is as good a time as any this was from the dustbungie.net lore entry
this was the result of the Rivalry born out of a moment which could only have happened thanks
to the saundering of the Broods at the gift mast this is a rivalry between two knights
and two siblings clearly Bound in opposition trying to discover strength it reads as follows
fill up your mouths we fill them with dust
let us remember the great feats of our King in dust they are spoken in dust of our skin
one day as the green eye Stars set behind the far away spines left by the machines failed
injections a night of oryx met a knight of Shiva wrath as they passed across a bridge in the sea
of Screams to then North lay astrata of ossified corpses Tangled bones left by newborn beings who
had hatched into this Overworld from the Weeping blistered Souls of living Worlds at the end of
their sanity only to become unanchored from the universe of matter and Confused
their shapes with each other until they became one screaming interchange of bodies and died
to their other North was not all of scriptures adrift on a sea of interpretations nor dirt by
heresies like white eels to another North was one end of the bridge and to the last North the other
end all directions were North but it was not at once obvious which lay at the northernmost place
North is towards oryx my king said the first night no set the second night civil wrath
is victorious in all wars North is toward my queen thus announced they drew their blades and
struggled at first to the night of Shiva wrath she whose Victory is indempotent had the upper claw
through inexorable campaigns and the absolute Mastery of operontological warfare which is
the method of War which converts mere strategy into an attack on the enemy's very fundamental
modes of being and knowing Shiva wrath had claimed great swaths of oryx's territory
then the Knight of oryx first navigator of phase spaces primogenitor of possibilities
gained the Poise and the momentum for oryx was ever exploring and opening new spaces and all that
he discovered weighed more on his existence and all he had ever known and left behind
at last battered like primordial worlds their Shields broken and their thick slabs of Health
eroded they toppled an exhaustion but each had one more way to fight by the claim of Truth is
more powerful a knight claimed for she held a territory in oryx's mind even after she died
oryx is more powerful his Knight retorted for he has gone into the deep alone of all the
hive he has spoken to that which is Caustic to existence and returned with some loan of
its power he has even relaxed in its presence for he is friend to that which cannot befriend
perhaps the night's weapon had cut through the thin membranes of reality and drawn a tear of
Prophecy from the eye of time which fell into the night's panting mouth the Knight then said and my
king is so mighty in his weight of causality that all which succeeds him is in some way
caused by him even his enemies in reacting to him ultimately obey the shape of his will as a
bandage must obey the shape of a wounded limb so it is that the one who most hates and fears my
king will also be the one to find what he seeks it is this way only because it must be this way
ayat now the other night knew the sound of holy writ but could not surrender the fight
yes oryx was first to know the Deep the Knight of Shiva wrath said but first blood is not last
Blood first to meet the shape of shapes is not the last to touch that secret face
easy it may be to dismiss my queen for her blunt strength and simplicity but she causes
exhaustion and Inuit in her enemies which in a cosmos where existence may be maintained by
Will alone while the surest of killers and as for your prophecy I need not disprove it
for until it is true it is only a boast now neither Knight had died and so they knew that
they had fought to an impasse so they cast to themselves from the bridge into the sea
of Screams below to see where the currents would bear them for this reason a certain quantity of
tribute did not reach one of crota's Champions at the necessary time and that champion lost a
jewel with a sergeant of Shiva wrath causing the loss of a great number of temples and tributaries
so that crota upon slaughtering many liars with his sword judged it best to sleep and recover
his debts with his soul proxied in a material Cask so that he could use it as a pittance to
return swiftly to the real all afterwards proceeded as it must have proceeded ayat
From This Moment the chain of causality continues as follows crota in his weakened form was bound
to the crystal in the hellmouth this was assaulted and destroyed by the Guardians
these same Guardians went forth into his throne world and killed him for good this weakened
oryx's tribute and forced the taken King to extend his forces into soul and beat back the Guardians
overextended we then went to kill oryx's other sources of tribute from his Shades to his high
War to the very daughters that followed him the war priest that exalted him and golgaroth that
fested at his side and from there we killed the taken King too breaking his hold on our system
from here we destroyed our enemy and smote his ruin upon the rings of Saturn
we may have been the weapon that killed oryx and Eris might have been his executioner
imagine how ironic it is that the least spoken of sister the one that many dismiss as weakest
amongst the three which I believe to be a mistake was in fact one of the ones that
may well have escorted the taken King to The Chopping Block the two knights that met across
the bridge is a tale that could be allegory but it probably isn't it's probably a means
by which Shiva wrath knew that she would be able to enact enough violence and enough harm to oryx
to lead to his death from such death she could gain terrible power not only is The Last of The
Hive Gods amongst the Swarms now that savathune has forsaken the power of the witness and has also
died within her own Throne World albeit perhaps temporarily but also because she has now enacted
the prophecy the knights spoke of she has looked upon the face of the witness and serves it still
we may have been there as oryx fell but oftentimes we need to ask the question of who that falling
King really left as the beneficiary of his kingdom Shiva wrath the ascendant God of War
May well be the greatest beneficiary of his death all of this may even have been a part of her plan
thank you very much for watching I hope you enjoyed the video I hope it was also interesting
because for me this was a piece of context that really added some important Clarity to the
entirety of the story of oryx's fall and I'm so glad I got to finally cover it I missed it in the
initial release around Shadow keep and I thought that it was so important to cover because well
if you take a look at all of this law it really tells us about the reasons why we were even able
to start the destruction of oryx's family in the first place this is the Prelude effectively to
the entirety of the dark below expansion which of course then links onto the taken King expansion
and even now down the line has ripples that affect witch Queen so it's a very important
event in history and understanding it really helps us know the power of Shiva wrath as well
