From the grimoire Kings Fall [quote]You were not supposed to touch the Light.[/quote] Is the key to getting the secret Oryx challenge not igniting the blighted light and killing him? To pull this off the first time we'll likely need some of the best of the best. [u][b][i]Kings Fall[/i][/b][/u] [quote]Light must obey the sword-logic...Oryx was challenged, yes, but challenged in the way of the Hive, which is to say that challenge is worship — is challenge — is power. Sword-logic.[/quote] Here we can see that sword logic, which can be interchanged with both challenge, worship, and power, is the honor code of the hive. [u][b][i]Echo of Oryx[/i][/b][/u] [quote]Oryx inhabits a world where power is truth. To win is to be noble, and to be real...The echoes of Oryx go forth to ask a question: are you the truth?[/quote] Here we see that Power and Truth can also be changed to represent this idea of Sword Logic. The echoes tested us to see if we would play by the rules of the Hive, which we did. [quote]He has twinned himself so closely to the power[/quote] Oryx has essentially made himself one with the Hive honor code. [quote]In each act of His power Oryx seeks to incarnate the self-sustaining, immortal suzerainty that He worships. The power that He uses to wash his Taken clean and etch them into useful shapes.[/quote] Oryx wishes to become the very thing that he is turning the taken into, the darkness [u][b][i]Oryx: Rebuked[/i][/b][/u] [quote]He is not a simple thing to kill. He wants to be isomorphic to conquest, to triumph, to killing and death. He is a syllogism, now, but in time He hopes to become an axiom.This is His strength and His fatal weakness.[/quote] The axiom has been referred to as many times as being the final queen, the darkness. His weakness is wanting to be consumed by the darkness. [quote]For if he ever falters in His performance, if the inflow of devastation ever falls behind His expenditure of ruin, He will be consumed. If He is ever outmatched, then by the terms of His own existence, He will cease. It is to Oryx Himself, in the heart of the Dreadnaught that armors and encapsulates his throne-world, that you must make your last and surest argument.[/quote] His performance is the sword logic. We fell into the trap of performing exactly how the king wanted us to. We have made the darkness consume him twice. To finish him we must break the honor system of the hive. We must not fight on equal terms, but rather at a disadvantage. We must kill him without the blighted light.
