Little is known about Savathûn's true feelings or intentions towards anyone, including her own family. She would often come into contact with her brother's children, particularly his sons, notably being the reason behind [[Crota, Son of Oryx|Crota]]'s failed assault on the Vex and subsequent banishment. The Books of Sorrow suggest she was both proud and jealous of her niece [[Ir Anûk, Deathsinger|Ir Anûk]]'s prowess in spellcasting and knowledge.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books_of_Sorrow#XXXVII:_shapes_:_points|Books of Sorrow XXXVII: shapes : points]]''</ref> After the death of [[Xol, Will of the Thousands]], her nephew Nokris reached out to her and they entered a mutually beneficial partnership, Savathûn learning necromancy from Nokris and extending her protection over him in turn.

However, Savathûn did deceive and betray the Scarlet Court, the last descendants of Crota and Oryx, into gathering in one place where the Guardians would find and destroy them, as she believed her brother's bloodline had reached its end.


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>
