Shin'ra, born as Setak, was a proto-Hive Krill on [[Fundament]] in the [[Osmium Court]]. He was nothing more than a mere scribe and advisor to the [[Osmium King]]. He would be a secondary teacher to the daughters of the Osmium King and favored the youngest, [[Xivu Arath, God of War|Xiro]], as she would become his prized pupil. He would help to teach her to catch the Bait Stars that threatened the weak Krill with his own special form of cunning, and that be to study and strategize the enemy's movements. | Shin'ra, born as Setak, was a proto-Hive Krill on [[Fundament]] in the [[Osmium Court]].

He would fall into the influence of the same lies of [[The Witness|the Witness]], believing that a great cataclysm would befall the Fundament, the Syzygy. Though he had been driven mad by the whispers of the worm familiar, he would still assist the Osmium daughters by readying the craft that they would escape on. Shortly thereafter, Setak would flee from the Osmium Court towards Kaharn Atoll to find the means to escape the Fundament. | ||
Prior to the Hive's emergence in the Fundament, Setak would reach the end of his ten year lifespan and had grown senile, much like the Osmium King before.

Eventually, when the Hive arose from the depths of the Fundament, many tried to flee to Kaharn as a means to escape, Setak among them. However, when the Hive reached Kaharn, many of the proto-species fell to the power of Auryx, Savathûn and Xivu Arath. Being the last survivor and at the height of his madness, he begged Auryx to convert him into one of them. Holding sympathy for the one who helped his sisters to escape the Helium Drinkers, Auryx offered Setak one of the Worm larvae, which the Osmium Advisor would ingest and take his morph and new name, Shin'ra. | Eventually, when the Hive arose from the depths of the Fundament, many tried to flee to Kaharn as a means to escape, Setak among them.

His actions would create a death cult under the command of his vassal, [[Forum:Acaeleon, Vassal to Shin'ra|Acaeleon]]. This death cult would begin sacrifices as a means to return the Traveler back to the Nadheal, however this was only a clever rouse by Shin'ra to tithe their deaths to him instead. This death cult would persist through several years as the God of Forge slowly began to reveal himself to Acaeleon, promising to offer a greater power than the Traveler ever could. | His actions would create a death cult under the command of his vassal, [[Forum:Acaeleon, Vassal to Shin'ra|Acaeleon]].

Fully under the thrall of the Hive God, Acaeleon would instigate a galactic scale civil war in the Nadheal home system.

Their various colonies burned and destroyed and their capital in ruins with all that remained of their civilization forced to live on large cruisers for survival. Even under the control of Shin'ra, Acaeleon doubted his own actions and the destruction of his people. His doubt invoked Kuldax to appear before him, declaring that he was unworthy of the power he sought to gift. He would then stab the weakened Nadheal with his blackened blade, and the power of the Hige corruption spread throughout his body, leaving it as a shriveling corpse. Shin'ra would have his followers destroy any that remained of the Nadheal people, including their home world. | ||

He would use the fragment as a basis for what would later be known as the '''[[Weapons of Sorrow]]''', while the shard itself would become known as the ''Lucent Armament'', the basis for the Weapons of Sorrow's antithesis, the ''Weapons of Hope''. | ||
Along with creating the basis of both the Weapons of Sorrow and Hope, he would eventually learn to master the former's corrupting potential, and being the first to fully master the newfound Darkness element, [[Forum:Corruption (element)|Corruption]]. His studies of the Light and Dark would bring the attention of the Witness to Shin'ra, who would believe that the Maker was worthy to look after the Darkness progenitor, the [[The Veil|Veil]]. Shin'ra would place the Veil deep within the Nephilim's vaults, believing that its intense Darkness would fortify his ship from the inside, and he could continue his studies of the paracausal. | Along with creating the basis of both the Weapons of Sorrow and Hope, he would eventually learn to master the former's corrupting potential, and being the first to fully master the newfound Darkness element, [[Forum:Corruption (element)|Corruption]].
