Though his lifeless body was left adrift in orbit around Saturn, Oryx's Ravenous Heart however remained. [[Eris]] used his heart to construct a weapon, the [[Touch of Malice]]. Ironically, in accordance to the [[Books of Sorrow]], Oryx intended this, as it would be his final means of maintaining his immortality through the continued use of his Ravenous Heart to feed, as well as mantling the one who vanquished him as his successor to the Osmium Throne. | Though his lifeless body was left adrift in orbit around Saturn, Oryx's Ravenous Heart however remained.

The Taken in particular, languished without their master's power and continued to decay unless someone took Oryx's place. Two individuals in particular would attempt to assume Oryx's throne, [[Alak-Hul, the Darkblade]] and [[Malok, Pride of Oryx]]. However, both were quickly killed by the same Guardians who defeated Oryx before either could take up the mantle of the Taken King. A third individual, [[Noru'usk, Servant of Oryx]], attempted to flee the [[Prison of Elders]] but was slain by a Guardian fireteam before he could assume the throne. | ||
Even by the time of the [[Red War]], the Taken continued to haunt the System, primarily on Earth and [[Io]], and it appears that Oryx's sister, Savathûn, has not only taken command of Hive broods on Titan but is also attempting to seize control of the Taken. | Even by the time of the [[Red War]], the Taken continued to haunt the System, primarily on Earth and [[Io]], and it appears that Oryx's sister, Savathûn, has not only taken command of Hive broods on Titan but is also attempting to seize control of the Taken. | ||

After the end of the Red War and the reawakening of the Traveler, in the frozen ice caps of Mars, the Worm God [[Xol]] awakens to destroy the Warmind core of [[Rasputin]]. Leading the Xol's army is Oryx's lost and disowned son, [[Nokris]]. However, like Crota and Oryx, Nokris would fail against the Guardians and Xol followed shortly after. However Xol would find a way to cheat death by transforming into the [[Whisper of the Worm]] using the [[Anthem Anatheme]]. | After the end of the Red War and the reawakening of the Traveler, in the frozen ice caps of Mars, the Worm God [[Xol]] awakens to destroy the Warmind core of [[Rasputin]].

It is implied that his defeat was due in some way to his previous bargain with Riven.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken (expansion)|Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Armor_of_the_Great_Hunt_(Warlock)#Gloves_of_the_Great_Hunt|Gloves of the Great Hunt]]''</ref> Nonetheless, without a master, Riven was aimless until the Witch-Queen encouraged the wish-making creature to serve her, allowing her to be closer to gaining full control over the Taken. Though Riven would ultimately fall to the same Warrior of Light that defeated Oryx, her physical death would allow the Dreaming City to be Taken. However, Oryx's youngest sister, [[Xivu Arath]], the Hive God of War, has also begun a campaign to assume lordship over the Hive and Taken. This will likely lead to a feud between the Hive God sisters over who will be the new lord and master over the Hive species and the Taken. | ||
