The practice of necromancy is seen as "heresy" to the Hive who follow the Sword Logic, as reviving the slain directly contradicts the central principle of the Logic (i.e. one becomes stronger by killing other, weaker beings). Furthermore, accepting power bestowed by more powerful beings is also a violation of the Logic; to obtain power, one must take it by force. The disgraced Hive Prince Nokris broke both tenets of the Sword Logic by consummating a pact with the Worm God Xol (the weakest of his brethren), who bequeathed knowledge of the forbidden art of necromancy to Nokris in exchange for his heart. When his actions were discovered by his father Oryx, Nokris was branded a heretic, exiled and condemned to obscurity as his father removed nearly all traces of his existence.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/8/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Wormgod Caress]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2018/8/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Verity's Brow]]''</ref> | The practice of necromancy is seen as "heresy" to the Hive who follow the Sword Logic, as reviving the slain directly contradicts the central principle of the Logic (i.e. one becomes stronger by killing other, weaker beings).
