Oryx, the Taken King: Difference between revisions

After the end of the Red War and the reawakening of the Traveler, in the frozen ice caps of Mars, the Worm God [[Xol]] awakens to destroy the Warmind core of [[Rasputin]]. Leading the Xol's army is Oryx's lost and disowned son, [[Nokris]]. However, like Crota and Oryx, Nokris would fail against the Guardians and Xol followed shortly after. However Xol would find a way to cheat death by transforming into the [[Whisper of the Worm]], in the same manner that Oryx had done.

At a later date, during the chaos that engulfed the Reef, Savathûn gained a new and powerful ally in the Ahamkara Oryx took during the beginning of the Taken War, [[Riven]]. It is implied that his death was due in some way to his previous bargain with Riven.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken (expansion)|Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Armor_of_the_Great_Hunt_(Warlock)#Gloves_of_the_Great_Hunt|Gloves of the Great Hunt]]''</ref> Nonetheless, without a master, Riven was aimless until the Witch-Queen encouraged the wish-making creature to serve her, allowing her to be closer to gaining full control over the Taken. Though Riven would ultimately fall to the same Warrior of Light that defeated Oryx, her defeat would allow the Dreaming City to be Taken. However, Oryx's youngest sister, [[Xivu Arath]], the Hive God of War, has also begun a campaign to assume lordship over the Hive and Taken. This will likely lead to a feud between the Hive God sisters over who will be the new lord and master over the Hive species and the Taken.
