Crota's court also plays a major role when his consort [[Omnigul]] left the [[Hellmouth]] to gather the Hive in a full-scale invasion of the City. Having foreseen the imminent return of Crota, Eris Morn called upon the aid of a newly risen [[The Guardian|Guardian]] to aid her in dismantling Crota's army. The Guardian successfully assassinated Crota's closest lieutenants, including the [[Swarm Princes]] and their commander [[Sardon, Fist of Crota|Sardon]], leaving the Hive army in disarray and their general [[Omnigul]] killed in a [[Will of Crota|Strike]] against her. To prevent Crota's summoning, Eris guided the Guardian to the Moon, where the chamber housing Crota's soul was located. The crystal tethering his soul in the [[Chamber of Night]] would be sent back to the Ascendant realm, banishing his shadowy presense from the physical world and thereby preventing his corporeal return. | Crota's court also plays a major role when his consort [[Omnigul]] left the [[Hellmouth]] to gather the Hive in a full-scale invasion of the City.
