The '''Books of Sorrow''' are a compendium of the [[Hive]]'s history, written by [[Oryx, the Taken King]], stretching back before the dawn of [[humanity]] when the Founders of the Hive lived as mortals on [[Fundament]], a gas giant similar to [[Jupiter]], before they rose up and became gods of war.
