 Having sworn vengeance on the Hive and their master Crota for the losses of her [[Light]], [[Ghost]], and [[First Crota Fireteam|fireteam]], Eris took tactical control over the [[Guardian]] operations as they work to dismantle the [[Spawn of Crota|leadership]] behind the Hidden Swarm, including the legendary [[Swarm Princes]] (whom forged Crota's infamous Sword) and their commander [[Sardon, Fist of Crota]] (whom lead the Hive spawn on Earth). Eventually Crota fell to the Guardians, with word of his death would reach his father: [[Oryx, the Taken King]].

+Years after Crota's death and that of Oryx, the Hive on Luna would remain relatively quiet. As the attention of the Guardians became preoccupied by the chaos of the [[Red War]], the conflicts on Mercury, Mars and the Reef, the Hive on Luna would be overlooked. As a result of numerous deaths, the various broods on the moon consolidated into the Hidden Swarm, becoming the ''de facto'' Hive power on the moon. Rallying under the banner of the scheming Daughters of Crota, led by [[Hashladûn, Daughter of Crota|Hashladûn]], the Hidden Swarm sought power to turn their situation around. The discover of the [[Pyramid]] beneath Luna's surface by Eris Morn provided such an opportunity.
+Hashladûn and her coven of sisters sought to use the Pyramid's power and connection to the Darkness to provide them the means to turn their situation to their advantage and exact vengeance against the Guardians for ravaging their lineage. Using a forbidden piece of arcane knowledge, the [[Cryptoglyph]], Hashladûn and her sisters managed to create phantasmal [[Nightmares]] based on the Guardians' traumas and the necessary armor to shield themselves against the Pyramid's influence. Further Hashladûn had the Hidden Swarm construct a massive crimson fortress, the [[Scarlet Keep]], that would act as an amplifier for their magics and to defend the Pyramid. However, the Hidden Swarm's resurgence would catch the attention of the Vanguard, leading them to commit their forces to Luna, sending in the Guardian to push back the Hive.
+The Guardian would soon enter the Scarlet Keep to investigate but would soon discover the Pyramid and encounter the Nightmares for the first time, nearly getting overwhelmed as the Nightmares took the form of Crota, [[Dominus Ghaul]] and [[Fikrul, the Fanatic]]. Fortunately, Eris Morn would rescue the Guardian and soon leads the charge against the Hidden Swarm. Gaining the Vanguard's support, Eris Morn guides the Guardians into dismantling the Hidden Swarms power base while seeking a way to enter the Pyramid. The Guardians would soon enough confront Hashladûn herself within the Scarlet Keep, managing to slay the eldest of Crota's daughters at the peak of the Tower of Woe. Further, the Guardians risked the darkness of the Hive's most forbidden sanctum, the Catacombs, to acquire the Cryptoglyph so Eris can create armor to combat the Nightmares, slaying [[Besurith, Daughter of Crota]] in the process. Such actions were critical blows to the Hidden Swarm but they would remain a threat the Guardians continue to fight against as well as containing the Nightmares.
