Long before the Hive stalked the Moon, Oryx raised Crota to be his champion, the "Eater of Hope", traveling to many distant worlds and devouring them on his behalf and chasing after the [[Traveler]]. In time he gained reputation as a terrible demon. Once while he and his sisters were experimenting in the Ascendant realm, he accidentally let the [[Vex]] into his realm, as part of a trick by his aunt [[Savathûn]]. As he failed to eliminate them, the Vex created [[Quria, Blade Transform]] in order to deduce the Hive's Sword Logic and defeat the Hive while attempting to become gods themselves. The invasion forced Oryx's hand; as he dealt with the Vex, he threw Crota through the Vex [[Warp Gate|warp gate]] as punishment, declaring "Come home glorious, or die forgotten!" As he went out conquering through time, he established many monuments and temples to his father, while feeding him tribute in the form of captured Light. | Long before the Hive stalked the Moon, Oryx raised Crota to be his champion, the "Eater of Hope", traveling to many distant worlds and devouring them on his behalf and chasing after the [[Traveler]].

At some point Crota's spawn pursued the [[Traveler]] into the [[Sol System]] and conquered the Moon during the aftermath of the [[Collapse]], hollowing it out into a [[war moon]] where they laid dormant until they launched an invasion of Earth during the early [[City Age]]. The Guardians barely repealed the Hive offense at the [[Battle of Burning Lake]]; not realizing the true threat the Hive posed, they launched a counterattack on the moon, which was later called the Great Disaster. The Sword-Logic proved to be too much for the Guardians, as countless heroes fell before Crota's [[Blades of Crota|Blades]]; in particular, the legendary [[Titan]] [[Wei Ning]] was slain personally by Crota himself, who lead the Hive's hordes to victory during the battle. | At some point Crota's spawn pursued the [[Traveler]] into the [[Sol System]] and conquered the Moon during the aftermath of the [[Collapse]], hollowing it out into a [[war moon]] where they laid dormant until they launched an invasion of Earth during the early [[City Age]].

However when an fight broke out between two [[Knight]]s of Oryx and [[Xivu Arath]] (which ended in a stalemate), the former failed to make his tribute to a champion of the God-Knight. This setback cost Crota’s champion a significant tribute at the necessary time and lost a duel to a sergeant of the God of War. Having suffered a major loss of his temples and tributaries, Crota judged it best to sleep upon his throne world and recover his debts while his soul remain tethered to an Ascendant crystal, giving him a quick means of return to the real universe when need be. <ref>https://www.bungie.net/en/explore/detail/news/48287</ref> | However when an fight broke out between two [[Knight]]s of Oryx and [[Xivu Arath]] (which ended in a stalemate), the former failed to make his tribute to a champion of the God-Knight.
