Editing Inquisition of Self

The '''Inquisition of Self''' is a practice used by the [[Hive]] to transfer their living consciousnesses into different bodies. It is considered one of the greatest heresies against the [[Sword Logic]] as weaker Hive can use the ritual to transfer their essence into other bodies,<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]] - [[Lore]]:[[Lore:Inquisition of the Damned|Inquisition of the Damned]], [[Lore:Inquisition of the Damned#VIII: A Sacrifice of Self|VIII: A Sacrifice of Self]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''Destiny 2: Shadowkeep - Lore:Inquisition of the Damned, [[Lore:Inquisition of the Damned#VIII:_A_Sacrifice_of_Self|VII: The Severed and the Unmade]]''</ref> able to turn a non-warrior into a conqueror,<ref name="AntiLogic"/> which is in of itself a subversion of the Sword Logic.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''Destiny 2: Shadowkeep - Lore:Inquisition of the Damned, [[Lore:Inquisition of the Damned#I.IV: Of Tattered Blood and Broken Bone|I.IV: Of Tattered Blood and Broken Bone]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''Destiny 2: Shadowkeep - Lore:Inquisition of the Damned, [[Lore:Inquisition of the Damned#V: A Sinister Plot|V: A Sinister Plot]]''</ref><ref name="Apoc IX.X.II"/>

The first instance of the practice was seen being used by the three siblings [[Akrazul]], [[Ir Airâm, Deathsinger|Azavath]] and [[Malkanth]] when they believed that [[Hashladûn, Daughter of Crota|the]] [[Besurith, Daughter of Crota|Daughters]] [[Voshyr|of]] [[Kinox|Crota]] were unfit to lead the forces of the [[Hidden Swarm|lunar Hive]]. Tricked into conducting the ritual by [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen]],<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/29)''', ''Destiny 2: Shadowkeep - Lore:Inquisition of the Damned, [[Lore:Inquisition_of_the_Damned#IX.X.I: Apocrypha|IX.X.I: Apocrypha]]''</ref> Malkanth transferred the essences of Akrazul and Azavath so that the former's stronger essence could be transferred into the latter's stronger body.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''Destiny 2: Shadowkeep - Lore:Inquisition of the Damned, [[Lore:Inquisition of the Damned#IX.II: The Unmaking|IX.II: The Unmaking]]''</ref> However, Akrazul's hatred proved too powerful for Azavath's body to handle, turning it into a mindless monstrosity that rampaged through the [[Necropolis]], killing Malkanth,<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/29)''', ''Destiny 2: Shadowkeep - Lore:Inquisition of the Damned, [[Lore:Inquisition_of_the_Damned#IX.X: Apocrypha|IX.X: Apocrypha]]''</ref> the Pit Champion [[Zulmak, Instrument of Torment|Zulmak]] and various other Hive that stood in its way.<ref name="AntiLogic">'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''Destiny 2: Shadowkeep - Lore:Inquisition of the Damned, [[Lore:Inquisition of the Damned#XI: The Anti-Logic|XI: The Anti-Logic]]''</ref>

Later on, Savathûn would use the Inquisition to transfer Azavath's essence into Malkanth's now-dead body and gift her the power of the [[Deathsong]] to re-create the Choir, an ancient group of Hive [[Deathsinger]]s and to put a stop to the rampaging Akrazul.<ref name="Apoc IX.X.II">'''Bungie (2019/10/29)''', ''Destiny 2: Shadowkeep - Lore:Inquisition of the Damned, [[Lore:Inquisition_of_the_Damned#IX.X.II:_Apocrypha|IX.X.II: Apocrypha]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/29)''', ''Destiny 2: Shadowkeep - Lore:Inquisition of the Damned, [[Lore:Inquisition_of_the_Damned#XI.X:_Apocrypha|XI.X: Apocrypha]]''</ref>

When [[Eris Morn]] mentions to the [[Echo of Navigation]] that [[Xivu Arath]] and Savathûn seek to remake the Echo into the Oryx they remember, through sending their champions into the [[Court of Blades]] to serve as potential vessels for Oryx, the Echo refers to this as the Inquisition of the Self and calls it heresy, believing his sisters have become failures without him to resort to it.<ref>'''Bungie (2025/2/4),''' ''Destiny 2: [[Episode: Heresy]] - [[Act III: Crossed Blades#Step 1|Act III: Crossed Blades: Step 1]]''</ref>
