Nokris managed to evade permanent death following Xol's defeat, only to be left abandoned within the crust of Mars. His attempts to reconnect with the Worm God were rebuffed, as it had already found more worth in [[Whisper of the Worm|his slayers]]. Dejected, Nokris sought entry into the [[Ascendant Plane]], which was previously denied to him due to his rejection of the Sword Logic, using a fragment of Xol's remains to force open a gate. He lured fireteams of Guardians under the pretense of resurrecting Xol into slaughtering him and his revenant Hive, gaining enough power from their acts of violence to feed Xol's remains enough to use it to pierce a tiny hole into the Sea of Screams through which his soul could slip into.

However, the trickery he used attracted the attention of his [[Savathûn, the Witch-Queen|aunt]]. Although expecting to be used as nothing more than a simple pawn, Nokris struck a bargain with her after Savathûn offered him a place in her Court and acknowledged his value in being able to overturn the Sword Logic and those bound by it. As Savathûn sought to elevate herself from the [[Witness]], to whom her whole being was tethered to by her pact with the Worms and Sword Logic, she desired Nokris's knowledge of Necromancy. In exchange for his secrets, she would grant him access to [[Quria, Blade Transform|the Dreaming Mind]] so that he could learn how to [[Taken|Take]]. Savathûn also foresaw the arrival of the Black Fleet in Sol, and so she instructed him to interfere in any of their attempts to communicate with the Guardians.<ref name="FALSE IDOLS"/>
