Oryx, the Taken King: Difference between revisions

Line 68:

Oryx's forces first attacked [[Cabal]] bases on [[Phobos]] and [[Mars]]. Cabal detachments were devastated within hours, with the [[Sand Eaters]] suffering a catastrophic 58% casualties, while the [[Blind Legion]] and the [[Dust Giants]] lost 35% and 39% of their numbers respectively. The [[Vanguard]] discovered Oryx's presence after sending a [[Guardian]] to Phobos to investigate a Cabal distress signal, by which time Taken covens began appearing on multiple worlds, ushering in the Taken War.

Oryx was nearly beaten when the Guardian breached his sanctum and attacked him, but this was only a temporary setback. Using his Taken powers he warped himself into the Ascendant Plane. Meanwhile, his Taken, lead by his [[Echo of Oryx|Echoes]], continued to harass the system. Once the blights had been removed, the Guardians turned their attention on Oryx and his Hive and Taken champions. By overthrowing the [[Court of Oryx]] and killing his minions, they were able to invade deeper into the Dreadnaught. After killing his closest allies like the [[Warpriest]] and [[Golgoroth]], including his own daughters, Oryx returns to fight the Guardians once more, this time having Taken himself into a gigantic Ascendant shape. Here he attempted to pull the Guardians into the Darkness and Take them, but they were able to use Oryx's own captured Light against him. By slaying his light-eater Ogres and then detonating the Light they left behind, the [[blight]] in Oryx's chest erupted in a violent burst that ~~permanently killed~~ the ~~king~~.
