Amongst the greatest of Crota's spawn was [[Hashladûn, Daughter of Crota|Hashladûn]]. Even as a young [[Thrall]] she came to Crota's attention, as she was able to contend with [[Knight]]s in strength and size. Intrigued by Hashladûn, Crota ordered her inundated in the old way of floods to remove her excesses and leave her distilled down to her most powerful form through purification. Hashladûn fought the forces Crota sent against her, slaying them all, but Crota himself then came for her, even more deeply impressed by her love for him expressed by her strong display of will in defying him. Dragging his daughter to the floodplain, he impaled her to its base in six places and began the ritual of inundation. Hashladûn survived the ritual and emerged weakened by the ritual but stronger for it, murdering the first living thing she encountered to regain her strength. Crota came before her proud and impressed, but in sorrow informed her that in her newfound greatness she could not love him, as most of what had been his in her had washed away and left behind only what was of her grandfather, Oryx. With a cry of joy and grief he cut a hole in his realm and cast her out of his court to join the ranks of his father's.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/11)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Weblore]]: [[Weblore#Hope|Hope]]''</ref>
