The '''Osmium Court''' was a floating continental fragment which rested upon an ocean within the gas giant planet [[Fundament]]. It was a remnant of an ancient cataclysm when the [[Hive#Origins|Krill]] [[Krill homeworld|homeworld]] crashed into Fundament, after which it served as the new home of the Krill species.<ref name="Curiosity">'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Darkness#Calcified_Fragments:_Curiosity|Calcified Fragments: Curiosity]]''</ref>

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*The Krill homeworld may have been one of the moons of Fundament, or at least local to the same planetary system. If Aurash is to be believed, the Krill deliberately manipulated their world to crash in order to hide.<ref name="Curiosity"/>
The proto-Hive homeworld may have been one of the moons of Fundament, or at least local to the same planetary system. If Aurash is to be believed, the proto-Hive deliberately manipulated their world to crash in order to hide.<ref name="Curiosity"/>
*According to a vision imparted by the [[Relic]] on [[Mars]] using [[Savathûn]]'s ancient, calcified Worm familiar, the Osmium Court closely resembles the island found at the center of the lake atop Savathûn's massive bowl-shaped fortress in her Throne World. Whether this is merely symbolism within the context of the vision or evidence that Savathûn designed the island after her ancestral home is unknown.
