Editing Necromancy

The origins of Necromancy are not known, however it is known to involve the use of [[Paracausality|Paracausal]] abilities. When Nokris sought to impress his father Oryx, he would commune with the [[Worm|Worm Gods]]. All of them would reject the disfavoured son, except Xol, the weakest of his kind who would offer Nokris a bargain.  Nokris would trade Xol his heart, in exchange for learning the power of Necromancy. Nokris would accept pledging his alligence to the Worm God, becoming his High Priest. However Oryx found out and was enraged, as he considered Necromancy a violation of the [[Sword Logic]]. Nokris and his [[Grasp of Nokris|brood]] were exiled and would depart alongside Xol.

During the [[Collapse]], Xol, Nokris, and their followers would attempt to conquer [[Mars]], they would engage with the [[Warmind]] [[Rasputin]], and would become trapped and frozen in ice beneath the [[Hellas Basin]] on [[Mars]].  

Xol along with his [[Grasp of Nokris|worshipers]] would reawaken hundreds of years later due to the impact of the Warsats and the reawakening of the Traveler. They would seek to gain control of [[Mars]] by destroying Rasputin. Upon their reawakening, [[Anastasia Bray]] would request for assistance from the Vanguard, later gaining the help of the [[The Guardian|Guardian]]. [[Zavala]] was against using the Warmind and instead formed a plan of using a shard of the Traveler to lure and kill Xol. [[The Guardian]] would retrieve the shard and would infiltrate the lair of Xol. They would kill the High Priest Nokris and would place the shard. Xol would not go after the shard, and would instead make the Guardian go unconscious, making his way to the Hellas Basin to destroy Rasputin. However the Worm God's plan would fail as he would be killed by the Guardian using the [[Valkyrie]]. However this was not his end. Drawing power from the Sword Logic, he would take control of [[Taken]] on [[Io]], resurrecting three of the former enemies of humanity as his champions to test the Guardian. After the Guardian proved themselves worthy by slaying his champions, he would transform himself into the [[Whisper of the Worm]] so he could feed off the death they caused.

The former high priest of Xol, Nokris had survived his encounter with the Guardian. He had now been abandoned by his God and would enter the [[Ascendant Realm]]. This would catch the attention of Savathûn who would offer him a bargain. The Witch Queen would grant him a spot on her court and teach him how to Take using [[Quria, Blade Transform]] and in exchange he would teach her Necromancy. He would accept now pledging his loyalty to his aunt, becoming her supplicant. Nokris would intervene with the [[The Witness|Witness's]] messages to the Guardian by order of Savathûn. Despite the Hive Heretics best efforts he was killed.

With the return of [[Titan (moon)|Titan]], forces of the [[Lucent Brood]] would arrive on the moon led by [[Šimmumah ur-Nokru|Šimmumah ur-Nokru, Lucent Necromancer]], previously a member of the Grasp of Nokris now resurrected as a [[Lightbearer Wizard]]. They would arrive in the depths of [[Titan (moon)|Titan]] where the remains of Oryx, the Taken King lie, and would begin a ritual using Light and Necromancy in an attempt to resurrect the God King of the Hive. Deputy Commander [[Sloane]] would send the Guardian to discover their plan. The Guardian would kill the recently resurrected [[Ecthar, Sword of Oryx|Ecthar, Shield of Savathûn]], a previous member of Oryx's court now resurrected as a [[Lightbearer Knight]], and discover the ritual site. Šimmumah ur-NokruŠimmumah ur-Nokru would summon reinforcements and resurrect [[Vorlog|Vorlog, Risen in Hersey]] previously a champion of Oryx, to defeat the Guardian. However the Guardian would prevail, killing the Lucent Necromancer and stopping the ritual. [[The Hidden]] would secure Oryx's remains for study.

*Other than Nokris' necromancy, other acts of defying death could be seen in the [[Adventure]] [[Deathless]] on Titan, with the resurrecting [[Takul-Dar, the Unbreakable]]<ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Deathless]]''</ref> and the blasphemous story of [[Hashladûn, Daughter of Crota|Hashladûn]] and her sisters trying to bring back Oryx.
