Ascendant Realm

"Whispered lore and fragmentary theories suggest that Crota represents a distinct class of Hive entities, not resident in our material world. My latest synthesis of this scattered esoterica suggests that Crota's 'home' is a universe created or remade by his power and occupied by Hive organisms of immense age."

- Ikora Rey

An Ascendant Realm, also known as a throne world, is an alternate dimension ruled by the Gods of the Hive. Each of the Gods of the Hive--Oryx, Savathûn, Xivu Arath, and Crota--rules their own Ascendant Realm, where they have absolute power over it through the Sword-Logic. If one of the Hive Gods is slain in the material world, their soul will pass to their Ascendant Realm, where they will regain their strength until they can re-enter the material world.
