Savathûn, the Witch Queen: Difference between revisions

At some point after [[Dominus Ghaul]]'s defeat, Savathûn began to meddle with the Evocate-General [[Umun'arath]]'s mind and fuel her obsession with the Hive. Umun'arath started to believe the worship of Hive gods and deployment of their battle techniques was necessary for the [[Cabal]]'s survival. Under the Witch-Queen's influence, she began conducting a ritual in the central square of [[Torobatl]]'s weaponsmith district, and when [[Empress Caiatl|Caiatl]] approached her, she tried to coax her into kneeling before the "god of war". Caiatl slew the former General, but her death only fueled Savathûn's plan to conjure Xivu Arath in Torobatl and gift her another system to wage war upon.<ref name="New Gods">'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard'', [[Lore:Empress#CHAPTER 5: NEW GODS|Empress - CHAPTER 5: NEW GODS]]</ref>

Savathûn began enacting her grand scheme by possessing the body of the Warlock [[Osiris]] after he was left Lightless by the death of his Ghost [[Sagira]] during a confrontation with the [[High Celebrant of Xivu Arath]] on [[Moon|Luna]]. Slithering in one of her forms over the broken pieces of the Ghost she took over the vulnerable Osiris.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/8/24)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Lost]] - [[Weapons|Weapon Lore]]: [[Chrysura Melo]]''</ref> Now posing as the Warlock, Savathûn sent a message explaining Sagira's death to the Vanguard and that "he" would be pursuing the High Celebrant for revenge. This drew [[The Guardian]] and [[The Crow]] to her, and she arranged for Crow to "save" her from a Knight within the depths of the Hive warrens, placing her in a position to manipulate the former Awoken Prince.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/16)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Hunt]] - [[Missions|Mission]]: [[Trail of the Hunted]]''</ref>
