The '''Sol Divisive''' is a [[Vex]] collective located in the [[Black Garden]] that are the faithful protectors and worshipers of the [[Black Heart]] residing within it.<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''[[Destiny]], [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Vex#Sol Divisive|Sol Divisive]]''</ref> | The '''Sol Divisive''' is a [[Vex]] collective located in the [[Black Garden]] that are the faithful protectors and worshipers of the [[Black Heart]] residing within it.<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''[[Destiny]], [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Vex#Sol Divisive|Sol Divisive]]''</ref> | ||

The origins of the Sol Divisive are unclear. A Vex record originating from the Black Garden seems to indicate that at some point the Vex in the Black Garden encountered the Witness, after which the term "Black Heart" appears. After this event, the Vex seem to adopt an approach more in line with the philosophy of the Witness, suggesting that this record may recount the origin of the Sol Divisive and the Black Heart.<ref>'''Bungie (02/28/2023)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Lightfall]], [[Lore:Inspiral]]: [[Lore:Inspiral#Brass Gardeners|Brass Gardeners]]''</ref> | The origins of the Sol Divisive are unclear.

According to the [[Cloud Strider]] [[Rohan]], who once infiltrated the Black Garden, the [[Conceptual Mind]] used a "seed" left by the Witness to create the Black Heart in an unsuccessful attempt to simulate the [[The Veil|Veil]]. While the Black Heart would be paracausally connected with the [[Traveler]], it created cosmic static within the universal flow of [[Darkness]] and [[Light]] that ultimately weakened its counterpart. Despite its flawed design, the Sol Divisive would exhibit religious reverence toward the Heart; a behavior which [[Ikora Rey]] hypothesized was the only rational response the Vex could take when faced with an paracausal entity they could not properly simulate. | According to the [[Cloud Strider]] [[Rohan]], who once infiltrated the Black Garden, the [[Conceptual Mind]] used a "seed" left by the Witness to create the Black Heart in an unsuccessful attempt to simulate the [[The Veil|Veil]].

Months later, the Undying Mind awoke and attempted to seal the Black Garden from the outside world and resurrect the Black Heart. The Guardians managed to destroy the Mind, but true to its name, it returned from death shortly afterwards, forcing them to fight it repeatedly for years. This cycle was finally broken when the [[Red Legion]] destroyed the gate to the Black Garden in Meridian Bay, sealing the Garden and unintentionally fulfilling the Undying Mind's objective. | Months later, the Undying Mind awoke and attempted to seal the Black Garden from the outside world and resurrect the Black Heart.

As of this time, the Garden had become home to the Consecrated Mind and Sanctified Mind, a pair of powerful Vex Axis Minds that seemed to have been altered by an unknown force. | ||
As a result of the Guardians' intrusion into the Black Garden, the Sol Divisive began to invade the Moon. Led by a resurrected Undying Mind which had duplicated itself across hundreds of thousands of realities, the Divisive faced off against repeated counter-invasions by the Guardians into the Black Garden to slow the Vex's assault. Ultimately, the Undying Mind and its copies were destroyed for good, preventing the Black Heart from being resurrected, and the attacks on Luna were stopped. Some small pockets of Sol Divisive Vex remained on Luna, however. | As a result of the Guardians' intrusion into the Black Garden, the Sol Divisive began to invade the Moon.
