Savathuns Lucent Brood first appeared in the Throne World of the Hive Witch Queen after she was granted the Light. With her Ghost Immarus help Savathun summoned many Ghosts to her strange Throne World.  These Ghosts spread throughout the High Coven and resurrected many Hive as their Guardians, which became known as the Lucent Brood.

The organization of the Lucent Brood appears to be largely unchanged from the standards set down by [[Oryx, the Taken King]] in the [[Books of Sorrow]], with a hierarchy of powerful [[Knight]]s and [[Wizard]]s leading groups of [[Acolyte]]s and [[Thrall]]s, and their patron god, in this case [[Savathûn, the Witch-Queen]], holding absolute authority.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books_of_Sorrow#XX:_Hive|XX: Hive]]''</ref> Even the [[worm]]s and the tithe system remain in place, at least for the regular Hive. However, the presence of Lightbearers in the hierarchy has had unexpected effects on these. Light exerts a ''"negative pressure"'' on the tithe system, moving ''down'' the hierarchy of its own accord such that even living Thralls may be infused with traces of Light. Furthermore, the worms of such infused Hive appear to be sated indefinitely and make no further demands for bloodshed or violence, as one affected Thrall claimed. The presence of Light within non-Lightbearers was initially mistaken for theft, leading to several summary executions.<ref name = 'Specter'>'''Bungie (2022/02/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Lucent Tales#Specter|Specter]]''</ref> Whether or not Lightbearer Hive still have their worms has not been stated.
