==History== | |||
===First Crota Fireteam=== | |||
{{The charming Ir Yût made her introductions, and I was very pleased to meet her. We had a conversation, a little tête-à-Yût, a couple old wizards exchanging definitions. I defined myself a friend. She defined for me the quiddity of death, and she sang the song of that fearful autonomy.|Toland, the Shattered}} | |||
Encountering Ir Yût and hearing her [[Deathsong]] was the primary reason [[Toland, the Shattered]] joined the [[First Crota Fireteam]] on their quest for Crota. He had been quite interested in the Song for some time, trying to figure out how she could sing it without dying; he speculated that she made herself part of the song and became death incarnate.<ref>'''Bungie (2016/12/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Exalted Hive#Ir Yût, the Deathsinger|Ir Yut, the Deathsinger]]''</ref> He did not hide his real goal from the fireteam members, openly talking about it with the fellow [[Warlock]] [[Eriana-3]]. | |||
Toland did achiever his goal and met Ir Yût in the depths of the [[Hellmouth]]. It is unclear how their "tête-à-Yût" actually went like, but it resulted in Toland being unsung from his biological form and banished, in some way, to the [[Ascendant Plane|Sea of Screams]].<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Places/Moon#Ghost Fragment: The Hellmouth|Ghost Fragment: The Hellmouth]]''</ref> Ir Yût is also implied to having killed Eriana-3, as her designate is included on the file preserving the moment of Eriana's death recovered from [[Jax]]'s remains.<ref name="GFEG">'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Luna%27s_Lost#Ghost_Fragment:_Eriana-3.27s_Ghost|Ghost Fragment: Eriana's Ghost]]''</ref> | |||
===Crota's End and ''The Taken King''=== | |||
{{Quote|Bite deep, through reality, through the illusions of life and death, and eat what you find.|[[Fang of Ir Yût (Adept)]]}} | |||
Ir Yût resided in the [[Oversoul Throne]], Crota's throne world, at the time of the Guardians' raid on the Hellmouth. She was slain by the Lightbearers, and [[Deathsinger (armor)|armor]] and weapons were fashioned from the spoils. However, she could be found several months later attending Crota's death ceremony in the mission [[Last Rites]], along with the Daughters of Oryx and few other Deathsingers. This points to her possibly being an Ascendant Hive, as well as still being alive somewhere, as killing her in the Oversoul Throne certainly wouldn't cause her final death. | |||

*Because she belongs to the [[Spawn of Crota]], Ir Yût may be a daughter of Crota, or a relative. | *Because she belongs to the [[Spawn of Crota]], Ir Yût may be a daughter of Crota, or a relative. | ||
*She is mentioned in the book [[Lore:Inquisition of the Damned]] as one Crota's most cherished courtiers, and remarked upon having long given up on rebuilding the mythical Choir of Deathsingers - something [[Ir Airâm, Deathsinger|Azavath]] dreamed of and later achieved.<ref name="IX.II: The Unmaking">'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard: [[Lore:Inquisition_of_the_Damned#IX.II: The Unmaking|IX.II: The Unmaking]]''</ref> | |||
*Ir Yût is also a character in Calus' prophetic stories, where the Shadows recover her essence from the Ascendant realm, learn the Deathsong from her, and reverse it in order to bring Toland back to life. Underscribe [[Shipal]] is, however, criticised by other scribes for inaccuracies, paradoxes and misinterpreting Hive sources in this account. | |||
