"Ancient weavers of a bygone era. Once long lost has now been found and mended. These weavers cannot be allowed to spread the Corruption of Shin'ra and spread chaos from new Weapons of Sorrow."

The Weavers of Sorrow are a Hive Brood who serve Shin'ra, the Sorrow-Maker and are known as the Hive weapon masters. They act the main antagonists of the Season of Sorrow, Season of the Wish and the Dread episode while playing minor roles in Risen, Plunder, Deep and Witch. Some Taken also appear to serve the Weavers of Sorrow.

History

Structure

The Weavers of Sorrow are primarily made up of converted Hive from other broods, most notably the Hidden Swarm following the events of Beyond Light. Their armor "remade" in the visage of the Hidden Swarm with black and dark green colors. However, progenitors of the Brood exist, like Shin'ra, the Sorrow-Maker, Storgor, the Great Shatterer, Zâtrox, the Necromancer, Jirgâth, the Warpriest and Ir Mazleth, the Unholy Silence, all of which were were founding members of the Weavers.

The leadership of the Weavers are divided into two groups, being the Court of Sorrow and the Cult of Unmaking with Shin'ra being the primary leader of the brood and groups. Zâtrox serves as second in command within the Court of Sorrow. Each member of the Court of Sorrow possesses detachments of Hive that act as "extensions" of their primary function.

Zâtrox possesses a coven of Necromantic Wizards that serve as his enforcers and a "failsafe" in case of certain members of the Court were to fall, they could easily resurrect them. Jirâth serves as the general of the Weavers of Sorrow and commands its near endless legions of Hive. Ir Abzûl serves as a commander for the armies of the Taken that serve in the brood's ranks. Kramûc serves as the tracker and hunter of enemies of the brood. Finally Davaj serves as a blade master and field enforcer.

The Cult of Unmaking serves as personal enforcers for Shin'ra with Storgor acting as their leader. They are only used in certain scenarios of "utter importance," one such instances would be the protection of the Temple of Exultation on Io which Shin'ra sought to use to enhance the brood's power through Resonance and even the Light.
