==History==
After listening to an old message from [[Osiris]], [[The Guardian]] [[Shrine of Oryx (mission)|attacked]] the Shrine of Oryx by navigating through the [[Hellmouth]]. Despite the efforts of [[Sardok, Eye of Oryx]], [[The Ghost]] managed to weaken the spherical machine, allowing his [[Lightbearer]] to destroy it, halting its transmissions.
 
When the Guardian managed to chase [[Malok, Pride of Oryx]] from the [[Dreadnaught]], he took refuge within the Shrine, working to perfect a dark sorcery. [[Eris Morn]] organized a [[Strike]] to [[Blighted Chalice|root him out]] alongside his [[Taken]]. Malok had replaced the spherical communicator with a massive [[Blight]], and confronted the [[Fireteam]] in its shadow, but was ultimately defeated, and the Shrine cleansed once more.
 
When [[The Lunar Pyramid]] [[Haunting of the Moon|unleashed]] its [[Nightmare]]s upon the Moon, the [[Nightmare of the Fanatic]] took residence in the Shrine, where fireteams [[Nightmare Hunt: Insanity|hunted]] hunt it down on behalf of Eris.
 
After the [[Arrival of the Black Fleet]] and the reawakening of the [[Traveler]], [[Osiris]] lost his [[Light]] and was ensnared by [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen]], who took on his form. While posing as the [[Warlock]], she worked to hunt down the [[High Celebrant of Xivu Arath]], luring him to the Shrine, but perhaps being lured as well. The Guardian came to Osiris' rescue, and after escaping the [[Ascendant Plane]], met with Osiris at the Shrine. A [[Knight]] managed to ambush them, but was slain by the [[Crow]], who had been watching over the pair.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
In ''[[The Taken King]]'' [[Story]] mission [[The Dreadnaught]], after destroying the final conduit for the [[Dreadnaught]]'s main weapon, the player can approach the dais where the [[Court of Oryx]] [[Public Event]] can be initiated in [[Patrol]]. [[Thalnok, Fanatic of Crota]] will exit from the portal with two Hallowed [[Wizard]]s, but will disappear after a brief wait. Approaching the throne on the dais and scanning it with [[Ghost]] will reveal that the throne is the receptacle for the communications from the Shrines of Oryx.
