Hashladûn began as an abnormally large and strong [[Thrall]], ''"huge of crest and thick of arm"''. Viewing this as excessive, her father Crota ordered her ritually mutilated ''"in the old way of floods"'' in order to reduce her to a normal size and strength, and sent a hundred Thrall, ten [[Knights]], and an [[Ogre]] to retrieve her. Hashladûn fought off the entire force, but was left exhausted; after that, Crota himself came for her, impressed but unrelenting, and took her to a floodplain deep within the [[Ascendant plane]], where she was impaled and exposed to the paracausal tides of the Sea of Screams, flooding her body five times with caustic and harmful substances. | Hashladûn began as an abnormally large and strong [[Thrall]], ''"huge of crest and thick of arm"''.

After the five inundations, Hashladûn broke free from her impalement, starving, wounded, and much reduced in form.

After [[Eris Morn]]'s discovery of the Pyramid unleashed its phantasmal power, Hashladûn utilized the great tower of the Scarlet Keep to channel its energy for their experiments, which helped the Hive summon [[Nightmares]] of great power near the Keep based on the fears and past foes of the Guardians, including [[Nightmare of Crota, Son of Oryx|one]] of her late father.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]]'', ''[[In Search of Answers]]''</ref> Using the [[Cryptoglyph]], Hashladûn experimented with the creations of the ancient Pyramid and found no hope of truly restoring Oryx and Crota through their power, as their essences had truly disappeared. However, she and her sisters embraced Savathûn's gifts and began crafting what remained of Zulmak into a fearsome champion of their own design and under their control. Through her experiments, Hashladûn distilled the primordial essence of terror and contributed it to Besurith and Voshyr reshaping of Zulmak's husk.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Heretic]]''</ref> | After [[Eris Morn]]'s discovery of the Pyramid unleashed its phantasmal power, Hashladûn utilized the great tower of the Scarlet Keep to channel its energy for their experiments, which helped the Hive summon [[Nightmares]] of great power near the Keep based on the fears and past foes of the Guardians, including [[Nightmare of Crota, Son of Oryx|one]] of her late father.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]]'', ''[[In Search of Answers]]''</ref> Using the [[Cryptoglyph]], Hashladûn experimented with the creations of the ancient Pyramid and found no hope of truly restoring Oryx and Crota through their power, as their essences had truly disappeared.

When the Guardians invaded the moon to challenge the Hive's resurgence and the appearance of the Nightmares, Hashladûn personally encountered [[The Guardian|the Guardian]] who slew her father, mother, and grandfather at the bridge to the Keep. Retreating to the top of the spire, Hashladûn lures the Guardian and their fireteam to her position to finally claim her revenge for her ravaged lineage. Having gathered potent energies to amplify her powers, the Inundated summons waves of Hive reinforcements to swarm her enemies and use her magic in several attempts to knock them off the tower. In her quest for vengeance, however, Hashladûn met her demise in flames much like her family. From her remains, the Guardians found a tablet containing evidence of the [[Cryptoglyph]] hidden at the bottom of the [[Hellmouth]].<ref | When the Guardians invaded the moon to challenge the Hive's resurgence and the appearance of the Nightmares, Hashladûn personally encountered [[The Guardian|the Guardian]] who slew her father, mother, and grandfather at the bridge to the Keep.
