The Daughters of Viznoor, through the Kill Battery, manipulated the passage of time in the throne world so that more tribute could be gathered at a much faster rate than outside. They then captured numerous Hive that were not a part of the Stygian Brood as well as [[Vex]], and placed them within the throne world to fight each other. The abducted Hive were replaced with doppelgängers from the Brood to cover their tracks. | The Daughters of Viznoor, through the Kill Battery, manipulated the passage of time in the throne world so that more tribute could be gathered at a much faster rate than outside.

The Kill Battery was then brought back into real space. Ir Azari and her daughters carefully extracted a piece from the Kill Battery and inserted it into a newborn Thrall, which was then sent into the throne world, where they could monitor its growth. Soon enough, it matured from a Thrall, to an Acolyte, to a Knight as time few by within the dimension, all without having to kill even once. This was certainly a sign of progress, but was only a stepping stone to achieve natural Hive evolution. [[Forum:Ir Vyrok, Daughter of Viznoor|Ir Vyrok]], eldest of the Daughters, worked with her mother to find a way to imbue the Kill Battery with an infinite source of tribute. Using and experimenting with their necromancies, they destroyed the physical bodies of several Hive trapped within their throne world, and sent their soul into a constant cycle of oblivion before sealing them within the Kill Battery, thus feeding it with an infinite amount of tithing. They then extracted another piece from the Battery for their ritual, with which they also used their necromancy and the remains of a Hive Wizard. The spell required the combined efforts of all of them; Viznoor, Azari, their daughters and all their first test subjects gave their all to make it work. | ||
And....they had done it. The fragment disintegrated and the spell had spread all throughout the Stygian Brood. Now, every Hive born under their sect would of course start as Thrall, who grow into Acolytes if they survive long enough, and eventually either Knights or Wizards if they have lived long-enough lives, all without having to commit a single act of violence to sustain them, although of course they still would under the order of Viznoor. Once the ritual had been complete, Ir Azari planned to have the Kill Battery dismantled, for it had fulfilled its purpose. Viznoor, however, thought differently, and instead had it locked in their throne world, for when they ever had to use it again. | And....they had done it.

Sometime following their defeat beneath the Wreck, the Stygian Brood began deploying [[Seeder Ship]]s into the swamps of Old Chicago in order to establish new territory beyond the edge of the Reef, although the main bulk of their armies remained behind in the Tangled Shore. Among those sent was the monster [[Forum:Voxnath, the Rabid|Voxnath]] and the spawn it led, in order to repel the Fallen and Red Legion forces who had also appeared in Old Chicago. The Stygian Brood soon began to spread throughout much of the area, transforming it into a new nest, despite the lingering Fallen and [[Cabal]] presence. | Sometime following their defeat beneath the Wreck, the Stygian Brood began deploying [[Seeder Ship]]s into the swamps of Old Chicago in order to establish new territory beyond the edge of the Reef, although the main bulk of their armies remained behind in the Tangled Shore.
