"The Temple of the Navigator. Savathûn formed that place to honor her brother, who fell."

— Eris Morn

Temple of the Navigator is a location in the Court of Savathûn. It is accessed only through missions. The Temple is a very large area, comprised of several canals that can only be navigated through boat, a large swamp overrun with Darkness and Scorn, all leading to the central Monument dedicated to Savathûn's brother, Oryx, the Taken King. The statue there depicts an event from the Books of Sorrow of Auryx slaying Akka, the Worm of Secrets.

History

"Those two killed each other about a million times over, but she dedicated a temple to him. Eh, it's funny how that works."

— Fynch

During their exploration of the Throne World, the Guardian was contacted by Fynch, who found a lead for a powerful artifact hidden in the temple. A strike was launched to attack the area, which was well defended by numerous Lucent Brood troops, led by the now Lightbearer Alak-Hul, the Lightblade. The Guardians pushed forward, fighting through the Hive and the invading Scorn, and eventually confronted the Lightblade within the Monument. Alak-Hul put up a fierce fight, but was slain, though his Ghost escaped, and the Guardians could claim the relic within, a piece of the Tablets of Ruin.

The Temple was of the Navigator was also the stage for a ritual conducted by the Witch Queen to excise the Echo of Navigation from Eris Morn's throne world and trap it in her own. The catalyst for it was a powerful artifact: the head of Savathûn's own son Malok, Pride of Oryx. With Eris's help, the Guardian managed to intercept the Temple, thwart this plot, and take possession of Malok's head.
