===XXIX: Carved in Ruin===
With his newfound power, Oryx fought the Ecumene over a period of a hundred and forty years and brought his sisters back to life each according to their nature. Xivu Arath appeared after Oryx slaughtered the Crisis Council at a place called the Fractal Wreath. Savathûn reappeared after Oryx tricked the Dakaua Nest into fighting Xivu, to their extinction. Reunited the three siblings then pursued the Ecumene as it fled into the intergalactic void, their galaxy lost to the Hive. Over a period of a thousand years they methodically exterminated each member of species so wholly that they were erased from living memory. Taox, however, eluded them.

More pressing concerns, however, awaited them. After Savathûn inquired after the feeding of their worms, if Oryx utilized her plan, the Taken King decreed the advent of the tribute system. Thrall would kill enough to sate their worm and grow a little stronger, then tithe the remainder to their leading Acolyte. Acolytes were granted a little more freedom on the usage of their tribute but were required to tithe most to their Knight or Wizard. So the tribute chain went, from the Knights and Wizards to their respective Ascendant Hive to at last the god-kings. Ascendant Hive were those mighty enough to create their own Throne or reside within their superiors' own Throne, such is their dedication to the Deep.

Last but not least, the Worm Gods were fed from the tribute given to them; and the three siblings would use their own excess to study the Deep and grow ever closer to becoming perfection. As long as they never deviated from their crusades of death and desolation all worms—both internal and god—would be satisfied.
