As the coven of sisters worked to enact their sinister plot, they were still left to deal with conspirators and contenders for the vacancy of a champion left by their late father. Many of the Hive that still held to the old beliefs in the [[Sword Logic]] gave way to gladiatorial combat in the [[Pit of Heresy|Pit]] beneath the Keep, though none of the sisters believed any were worthy of their father or grandfather's succession.

Of the greatest contenders was the Knight [[Zulmak, Instrument of Torment|Zulmak]], whose triumphs in the Pit threatened to upend Hashladûn's plans if anointed a new Hive champion by the majority of the Swarm.

Taking advantage of the ensuing chaos, Hashladûn and her sisters assassinated their perceived enemies, leaving the Akrazul-possessed Azavath to take the blame and none left to challenge them.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Inquisition_of_the_Damned#XI:_The_Anti-Logic|XI: The Anti-Logic]]''</ref> | ||
As the coven of sisters made ready to leave, Hashladûn glanced once more into the pit and was greeted by the whispers of a fellow schemer: their great-aunt [[Savathûn, the Witch-Queen]]. She encouraged her nieces to seize control of the Hidden Swarm themselves and be the strength the Hive needed to challenge the [[Light]] with a mighty new [[Scarlet Keep|fortress]]. Additionally, she offered a boon in the essence of the fallen Zulmak, to be raised as a puppet champion for the Swarm. Intrigued but weary of her aunt's schemes, Hashladûn questioned what role the heretic Azavath-reborn [[Ir Airâm, Deathsinger]] would play, as they killed their maddened brother Akrazul with the [[Deathsong]]. Savathûn offered her as a second boon as the head of the reformed Choir, a legendary group of [[Deathsinger]]s to be used as another weapon in their upcoming battle against the Guardians.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Inquisition_of_the_Damned#XI.X:_Apocrypha|XI.X: Apocrypha]]''</ref> | As the coven of sisters made ready to leave, Hashladûn glanced once more into the pit and was greeted by the whispers of a fellow schemer: their great-aunt [[Savathûn, the Witch-Queen]].

Hashladûn is the final boss of [[The Scarlet Keep]] [[Strike]]. While she is encountered several times throught the activity, she is always invulnerable and will retreat soon after. When the [[Fireteam]] reaches the top of the Keep, Hashladûn will come out of a gate after her guard Wizards have been slain, and become vulnerable after reaching the center of the room. She will not move much from there, only entering the forward balcony if players are in the plaza or in a different section of it. Hashladûn attacks by firing highly damaging streams of Darkness Blasts and invoking Knockback Runes that do little damage but fling targets high in the air. Throughout the battle, Hashladûn will summon hordes of reinforcements as she takes damage, which will flood in from the many doors scattered in it. Particularly large waves will appear around every third of her health, when she wraps herself in an immunity shield, and she will remain invulnerable until all her subordinates are slain. | |||
During [[Nightfall]]s, all the [[Knight]]s, Wizards and [[Ogre]]s will gain a rank, with at least one of the Ogres becoming an [[Unstoppable Ogre]] depending on the selected difficulty. | |||

Much like her sisters, Hashladûn lacks the brute strength of her father to wrestle the gifts presented of the [[Sword Logic]]. Instead they make up for it in ambition and cunning much like their great-aunt [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen|Savathûn]], preferring to manipulate the Hive from the shadows with rumors, conspiracies, and lies.<ref name="II: An Audience with Slaughter"/> Unlike the other Hive that adhere to the logic, Hashladûn and her sisters value the legacies of her father and grandfather to the extent of preservation from enemies looking to unseat their family's royal status, especially [[Zulmak]], whom she considered a tool in disgust.<ref name="FIB"/> | Much like her sisters, Hashladûn lacks the brute strength of her father to wrestle the gifts presented of the [[Sword Logic]].

*Hashladûn was mentioned through idle dialogue from Rasputin during [[Season of the Worthy]]. However, due to veteran player reports and Russian translators from r/raidsecrets on Reddit, most if not all, of Rasputin's ambiance from [[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]] appeared in the API prior to its release.<ref "YouTube">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NctbFqmUS1I&list=PLS2hBTtCDufRtXR_Fi88scmUPK8f1S50B&index=22 YouTube - Idle Dialogue, Seraph Bunkers | Rasputin: "Hashladûn Has Risen" | Season of the Worthy]</ref> | |||
**Whether the dialogue was released during Warmind expansion or not, it may hint towards Hashladûn's first mention in Warmind. | |||
