Forums: Index → Fan Fiction → Shadow Brood

The Shadow Brood is a Hive sect that left the main Hive army in order to help improve themselves in battle as some of the higher members of the sect believed that the old Hive sects were too weak-minded. Working alongside the Shadowkeepers, they seek to restore the Hive to its original glory and awaken the Dark Traveler. They have a blackish-purplish coloring with red spiked growth covering some parts of their body, along with green glowing eyes.

The Shadowkeeper Apocalypse[edit]

Ahnkra's Campaign[edit]

"So, it seems that one of Vizzy's precious servants turned traitor and joined up with that stupid brat and his boot-licking army. That rat bastard Ahnkra's been tearing up the Shore with a resurrected army of brainwashed soldiers. A trick he picked up from Xivu Arath, I assume. Anyhow, the Shitkeepers are gonna be even more of a problem now that they have knowledge of the Stygian Brood's special blend of necromancy, so....you know what to do. Time to take out the garbage."

— Vothriks, the Lost

Some time during the Apocalypse, the Stygian Brood fell under attack by Kirito and Asuna and their army. While most remained loyal to Viznoor despite the damage they suffered, a few did defect to Kirito's army, among them being Ahnkra, the Desolate, who viewed the swordsman as "the true pillar of strength." Ahnkra pledged absolute loyalty to Kirito's cause and the Shadowcaster, and shared his knowledge of the Stygian Brood's necromancy and the method they used to free themselves of their Worms. Setting up a base deep within the Tangled Shore, Ahnkra then began replicating Xivu Arath's method in resurrecting a wide array of previously slain foes from Fallen, Cabal and other sects of Hive and corrupting them into his mindless servants, effectively creating the Shadow Army's sect of Wrathborn, the Shadow Ravagers.

In the following days, Ahnkra would launch repeated strikes against the Stygian Brood while adding more to the Shadow Ravagers' ranks from across the system. Furious, Viznoor rallied his brood to stage a counterattack on Ahnkra's forces, leading to a violent large-scale conflict between the Shadow Swarm and the Stygian Brood amidst the Tangled Shore. Sometime after the skirmishes began, Ahnkra began preparing a ritual to infest the Tangled Shore with Darkness in Kirito's name, which a Fireteam, led by a wandering Guardian, would discover when they were sent to investigate the Hive activity. Working with Viznoor and his forces, they managed to break through the Shadow Army's defenses; however, before they could have the chance to stop the ritual from being completed, the crew would be slaughtered by Ahnkra, forcing Viznoor's forces to retreat. Moments after discovering that one of the Guardians slain by Ahnkra was in fact a friend of her, Hannah Ciel went to her friend's last spot on the Tangled Shore and fought a harrowing battle against Ahnkra. However, just when Ahnkra was about to slaughter her, she is saved by Eris Morn, who sends a series of brutal attacks against Ahnkra, who is forced to retreat, but not before vowing revenge on Eris.
