The '''Fall of Torobatl''' was a catastrophic conflict between the [[Cabal|Cabal Empire]], led by [[Empress Caiatl]], and the [[Hive]] God of War [[Xivu Arath, God of War|Xivu Arath]], who was summoned to the Cabal Capital by [[Umun'arath]], along with her [[Xivu Arath's Horde|Horde]].

==History==
Years after the death of [[Dominus Ghaul]], the Evocate-General Uumun'arath would grow increasingly drawn to the ways of the [[Hive]] due to the manipulations of [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen]].<ref name="New Gods">'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Lore]]:[[Lore:Empress|Empress]], [[Lore:Empress#CHAPTER 5: NEW GODS|CHAPTER 5: NEW GODS]]''</ref>

It is unknown how long the conflict lasted. However, rumors from the Cabal suggest that it was around five days.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - Item Description: [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/warrior-of-the-storm Warrior of the Storm]''</ref> Other rumors included a [[Psion]] taking down a [[Tombship]] with only [[Ticuu's Divination|flaming arrows]] and the Gladiator [[Thur'Ak]] fending off more than a hundred Thrall when he broke the charge at Tor'trol.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - Item Description: [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/arcus-and-sagita Arcus and Sagita]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - Item Description: [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/blades-of-the-gladiator Blades of the Gladiator]''</ref>

Caiatl herself would take part in the fight against the Hive, flying a fighter ship alongside [[Thresher]]s. However, it would crash, but she would survive. After recovering, she would see the Hive beginning to corrupt the planet as [[Cryptolith]]s began sprouting from the ground. From above, Xivu Arath announced she had come to claim her overdue tribute.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Lore]]:[[Lore:Empress|Empress]], [[Lore:Empress#CHAPTER 6: BATTLE SONG|CHAPTER 6: BATTLE SONG]]''</ref>

Eventually, the Cabal were forced to abandon Torobatl as Caiatl planned to go to Sol to reclaim what remained of the Cabal that went to the System with Ghaul to rebuild and eventually reclaim Torobatl.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Lore]]:[[Lore:Empress|Empress]], [[Lore:Empress#CHAPTER 8: EMPRESS|CHAPTER 8: EMPRESS]]''</ref> Despite this, some Cabal, such as those of ''Tribe Kiraulc'', were rumored to have held in their fortress for weeks after Torobatl had fallen before imperial bombardments.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - Item Description: [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/power-and-glory Power and Glory]''</ref>

Other worlds of the Empire would fall similarly to Torobatl, either from in-fighting or further invasions from Xivu Arath's forces.<ref>'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Risen]] - [[H.E.L.M.]] Radio Message: [[H.E.L.M.#tabsection-2-4|Caiatl and Zavala's discussion]]''</ref>
