Desolation of Asterion done! Next will be the Glass Splinter. That will probably take me a while though considering I've been having some crazy ideas for it, but that is a problem for tommorow.
m (Next will be the Desolation of Asterion. Currently working on that right now, kinda hard because I don't have the basis for that part planned out but I will get that done right now.) |

Dredgen Scourge was responsible for the destruction of the large, fallen-occupied town of Old Ashton, attacking the city and destroying it single handedly. Within the city, Scourge would confront the city’s chief and protector, a [[captain]] of [[House of Kings|Kings]] by the name of Phyran. Phyran was known for his experimentation of the hive and their magics, secrets that were wanted by the dredgen. Phyran was begged to share his secrets with Scourge, promising to have him as her “partner.” The captain declined harshly and attempted to kill Scourge, cursing her for killing his people. With the city in ruins, Scourge murdered Phyran with her Thorn, stealing his secrets to hive magic and gaining knowledge of their powers. Phyran’s investigations would become cornerstones of outside uses of hive magic for many years to come. | Dredgen Scourge was responsible for the destruction of the large, fallen-occupied town of Old Ashton, attacking the city and destroying it single handedly.

Scourge would find herself in the [[Vostok Observatory]], overrun by the forces of the [[Hidden Swarm]]. Conversations overheard by high-ranking knights told that the swarm were commanded by their champion [[Sardon, Fist of Crota]] to establish a hold over the base to search for extraterrestrial strongholds similar to [[Cocytus]]. The swarm began to attack upon noticing her, launching attacks from their [[Hive Warship|warships]] and fortifying their position. Their leader, a knight name Vo’nun, ordered they cease fire upon recognizing Scourge as the Queen of Worms. Scourge waved her Thorn at the [[Acolyte|acolytes]] and [[thrall]] as they backed up cautiously. The knight kneeled in front of the dredgen, placing his [[boomer]] at her feet and pledging his allegiance to her.

Scourge took advantage of her newfound power, asking the swarm what they have accomplished at the observatory. The knight responded that they have discovered a large amount of archaic energy radiating from an undesignated region on [[Mars]], a space station of “[[Vex|enigmatic origin]]” located in the high orbit of [[Venus]] above the [[Waking Ruins]], and a hidden seclude on the moon of [[Nereid]] suspected to be of Hive origin. Scourge turned away and holstered her weapon, walking off and slowly guiding the hive behind her as the followed. As her Thorn gleamed in the sunlight, a thrall had become deranged and attacked Scourge. She cracked the thrall’s skull as the battle continued, single-handedly killing multiple hive and evading their attacks effortlessly. Vo’nun attempted to stop the hive from attacking her when Scourge shot and killed Vo’nun without remorse. In her victory, Scourge took the chitin of the hive and created a [[Karve Scoutship]] to leave the Earth and explore the cosmos. Faith mapped the area’s mentioned by Vo’nun on Scourge's ship as they took off to find the seclude on Nereid. When the dredgen and her ghost left, members of the [[House of Devils]] began to invade and take control of the Vostok Observatory, washing away all traces of hive existence there. | ||

On Scourge’s expedition to Nereid, Faith noted how Nereid had not been terraformed by the [[Traveler]] when it arrived, making a hotspot for Hive structures all over the moon. Upon arrival to their location, the dredgen and her Ghost took notice of a massive dark tower on the moon’s surface, surrounded by many smaller structures carrying Hive weaponry. Large death-powered cannons and ballistas made from rock and Hive bones littered the surface, aiming towards the ship and firing upon it. Scourge dodge the incoming fire effortlessly before a massive sphere of light began to emanate from the apex of the tower; in a flash, the sphere turned into a beam and fired towards her ship. The spacecraft was hit, its left wing burned brightly as it crashed down into a crater not too far from the fortress, titled Asterion. Faith transmats outside of the ship and searched around for his guardian. Reviving his guardian under a metal plate, Scourge kicked away the plate and groaned before getting up and looking on towards the tower. Upon further analysis of the fortress, Faith mentioned its similarity to the [[Hellmouth]] on Earth’s [[Moon]], displaying large amounts of Ascendant Energy and a “rift” splitting through space deep beneath the tower. Scourge massaged her shoulder before unholstering her weapon and making her way towards the fortress. | |||
For the next few days, Scourge fought her way through Asterion, killing the [[Savathûn's Brood|Hive]] that defended it and cataloging her exploration of the tower. Once she reached the top of the tower, she discovered the source of the flash of light originated from a large modified [[Shrieker]] holding the tower’s defenses together. The fortress’s weapons disabled once the Shrieker had been destroyed, with Scourge heading down the tower and towards the dungeons below. Within the crypts of the fortress, the brood’s champion, the God-Eater named Cryth, was seen conducting a ritual with multiple Wizards to siphon power from the dead warriors of Asterion. The dredgen was too late to stop the ritual as the energy from their bodies had accumulated into Cryth’s new blade, awakening the [[Ascendant Portal]] behind him as he stepped through. Cryth left the Wizards behind to defeat the intruder, but they would fail in doing so. From whispers to muted shouts, Cryth would beckon Scourge to step into his world and meet her death. | |||
Over the span of multiple decades, Dredgen Scourge and Cryth would battle within the [[Ascendant Realm|sword world]], trading devastating and world ending blows with each other to the amusement of an unseen [[Xivu Arath, God of War|spectator]]. Seen as a never ending stalemate, Faith was almost destroyed by Cryth’s blade, nearly severing the dredgen’s connection to the Traveler’s [[Light]]. Upon seeing her Ghost be spared, Scourge almost gave up her life thinking she couldn’t win against the God-Eater. But as time went on and their skills became sharpened, Scourge managed to topple Cryth to the surprise of the aforementioned onlooker. WIth the power of killing a [[Ascendant Hive|God]] in the sword world, Scourge sectioned pieces of Cryth’s bones to fashion as armor for herself; a memento of her greatest achievement. | |||
The portal reacted to the dredgen’s newfound power, awakening itself and taking her back to the crypts of Nereid. Scourge limped out of the portal, holding herself up against its borders as Faith healed her. When the dredgen asked how they would get off of the moon, Faith responded that they could fashion another ship with all of the unused Hive chitin and mechanics laying around. On the surface, the duo found a Hangar with a a dock of unused ships, with Scourge joking that they could just steal one instead. As Faith activated the jumpship, the two trailed off of the moon and out to the Vex station. | |||
