She bore at least three children, two of which--[[Balwûr]] and [[Malok, Pride of Oryx|Malok]]--were later incorporated into her brother's [[Court of Oryx|Court]] in a fashion similar to which she later took Nokris into hers. Her progeny were often made to play a part in her schemes, with Malok having been begotten for the purpose of stealing tribute from Oryx and tithing it to his mother instead, and Savathûn's other daughter [[Dûl Incaru, the Eternal Return|Dûl Incaru]] serving as the catalyst for the curse in the Dreaming City. [[Lore:Truth to Power|Truth to Power]], albeit an unreliable source, suggests Savathûn's children were never sure if she felt any love or pride towards them, or whether she would even hesitate for a second before sacrificing them "in some cosmic design".<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore:Truth_to_Power#YOU_MUST|Truth to Power - YOU MUST]]''</ref> | She bore at least three children, two of which--[[Balwûr]] and [[Malok, Pride of Oryx|Malok]]--were later incorporated into her brother's [[Court of Oryx|Court]] in a fashion similar to which she later took Nokris into hers.

Savathûn's relationship to her siblings appears to be the closest yet most complex one, reaching all the way back to their shared childhood on Fundament. It used to be marked by tenderness and care, with Aurash, Sathona and Xi Ro often comforting and counseling one another on their journey, as well as both sisters trusting Sathona's judgement when she told them to dive into the ocean's depths following the worm's advice. The love between them shined through even after the dooming pact with the worm gods, albeit in a distinctly Hive, violent way of the Sword Logic. Savathûn often tested her siblings using tricks and cunning, and encouraged them to strike back against her as a means of "sharpening themselves" in combat. When Oryx realised she had convinced Xivu Arath to trap him in the Deep in order to steal the Tablets of Ruin from him, he remarked he "loved them so dearly" as no one else would give him the gift of trying to break him.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books_of_Sorrow#XXXIV: More beautiful to know|Books of Sorrow XXXIV: More beautiful to know]]''</ref> The Books of Sorrow also recount Oryx's love for Savathûn when he defines her back into existence with cunning, and is glad she has not perished eternally.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books_of_Sorrow#XXIX: Carved in Ruin|Books of Sorrow XXIX: Carved in Ruin]]''</ref> | Savathûn's relationship to her siblings appears to be the closest yet most complex one, reaching all the way back to their shared childhood on Fundament.
