"I am the end of morrows. Xyor, the Blessed. Xyor, the Betrothed. I am of the coming storm. These are not my words, but prophesy. Your Light will one day shatter and die. For now it simply offends... And you, dear, sweet, fragile thing, shall be made to suffer for your transgressions upon this holy ground."

— Xyor

Xyor, the Unwed (Formerly Xyor the Betrothed) is a unique Wizard encountered in The Summoning Pits Strike, with the quest A Light in the Dark active. Killing her rewards the player with a Skeleton Key, which unlocks a chest with Thorn in it. She is also responsible for cursing the Titan Rezyl Azzir, thus leading him to become Dredgen Yor.

Biography

Xyor is similar to many Ascendant Hive, being very confident in her powers and what she can and has accomplished. Her ability to see prophecies also makes her extremely arrogant to the power the Light has as she has full confidence in her Dark powers.

However this confidence proved to be her undoing in the Summoning Pits Strike where she was overwhelmed and slain by the Guardian along with her Abomination.

Gameplay

Xyor appears in the Summoning Pits Strike while it is a Nightfall in the final boss room with Phogoth, the Untamed and appears after four waves of Ascendant Knights are killed. Xyor spawns with a small coven of other Wizards and Thrall. She fights like a normal Wizard and despite her Major rank, she has similar health to her normal Wizard counterparts.

Solar weapons are recommended to make destroying her shield ann easier endeavor along with bringing a Titan with Ward of Dawn and a Warlock with Radiance to ensure the team's survival.

Trivia

• The Grimoire card "Legends and Mysteries: Rezyl Azzir" gives her the additional titles of "the Blessed" and "the Betrothed".
• Her title "The Unwed" comes from her betrothed, a Hive Knight, having been slain by Rezzyl Azir in an attempt on Xyor's life.
