Many years later, upon the frozen ice caps of Mars, Xol's physical form would perish at the hands of the Guardians, along with his herald. Eir commanded him to "SET YOUR HOUSE IN ORDER". Ī long-standing Vex incursion in Oryx's throne world eventually drew the attention of the Worm Gods. Knowing himself to be vulnerable, Xol, Will of the Thousands made a pact with Oryx's abandoned son, Nokris, to flee Fundament and seek new worlds to conquer together. Sometime after the death of Akka, Yul began to contemplate taking the power from the weakest of the four remaining Worms, in order to withstand any future attacks by Oryx. At some point Oryx recovered a fragment of Akka's shell and used it to craft his Dreadnaught. However, Akka remained active in some fashion and battled Oryx following the events of the Golden Amputation. After this, the Worm Gods withdrew to the Ascendant Realm and generally left the Hive alone.Īuryx would later seek out and slay Akka for the knowledge to commune directly with the Darkness. Eir and Yul consumed their captor's corpse. The Hive eventually exterminated the Ammonite and slew the Leviathan. When the war freed the Worm Gods from Fundament's core, they responded by opening a wormhole into geostationary orbit, allowing the Hive to invade Fundament's moons and the Ammonite civilization that dwelled there. The Worm Gods oversaw the Hive's conquest of Fundament, providing knowledge, orders, and censure to their leaders as necessary. Those who refused to accept were killed by the emergent Hive. Acting in concert with the Worm Gods, they took more larvae back to the surface in order to offer the rest of their species the same bargain. The sisters accepted, taking on the names Auryx, Savathûn, and Xivu Arath. Įventually, the worm led the sisters into the depths of Fundament, to the domain of the Worm Gods, who tempted them with power and immortality in exchange for becoming parasitized by their larvae. The dead worm spoke to Sathona, and through her guided the three sisters in their quest for vengeance. Following the Osmium King's murder by the Helium Drinkers, his daughter Sathona took it from him as she, Aurash, and Xi Ro fled the Court. One of their dead larvae eventually washed up on the shore of the Osmium Court, where it was found by the proto-Hive Osmium King and taken as his familiar. Rhulk then left the Worm Gods alone to be found by prospective hosts, in the process abducting their sixth member and mother, Xita, as collateral and in order to breed more larvae. To facilitate this, Rhulk engineered a strain of miniature versions of the Worm Gods, their so-called "larvae", which could be implanted into a host. ![]() Rhulk convinced the Worm Gods to serve as pawns of the Witness by utilizing their parasitic nature to control and corrupt lesser beings, furthering the ultimate goals of the Darkness as understood by the Witness and its Disciples. ![]() During their imprisonment, the Disciple known as Rhulk swam into the depths to find them, in the process meeting and grievously injuring the Leviathan. The Ancient Pastīillions of years ago, the Worm Gods were trapped deep within the core of Fundament and guarded by the Leviathan. However, according to the Darkness, in the primordial state before time or the universe began, entities existed which derived sustenance from the gradient between "what was and what might be." This may hint at the origins of beings such as the Worms, which continue to base their existence on the difference between actual and possible realities. The origins of the Worms remain a mystery. All Hive are bound symbiotically with a larva farmed from a mother Worm, which drives them to feed off constant conquest and destruction lest the Worm grow unsatisfied and consume them instead. The Worms are worshipped and revered as the Hive's highest deities, beyond even Oryx, the Taken King and his sisters Savathûn, the Witch-Queen and Xivu Arath, God of War. It is through a pact with the Worms that the ancestors of the Hive became the Hive and launched their conquest of the whole universe. The Worms are servants of the Darkness and draw their power directly from it.
