Savathûn has been studying the dimension the holes the Worm Gods cut through space and how Auryx returned from his death. She has discovered that both of these are the same principle and tells her siblings that if they practice the sword logic, they can cut there way into a pocket dimension. But Xivu Arath has already amassed enough power and he cuts his way into another dimension. Then the three siblings establish their own separate throne worlds inside this Overworld. Now, at some point it time, Savathûn speaks to Auryx and tells him not to forgive her, but to take revenge for when she killed him. And so he goes to war with her, and Xivu Arath tells them that war is his domain and he will kill them both if they don't stop. This was how the siblings loved each other and how they practiced death. And so this goes on for twenty thousand years. Eventually, Auryx has an idea, He will create a court, and whoever comes into his court can challenge him. He names this court the High War. Savathûn thought this was a great idea and made a court of her own, which she called the High Coven. Xivu Arath said that wherever war is, his court is. Now, some point in the future, we see the Hive at war with a species called the Qugu, a species that has spread to four different star systems. They have almost defeated the Qugu and have them on the run, but Auryx stops to destroy Savathûn's warship and some of her underlings. He wants to study the ruins and punish his sister for not guarding her flank. He reminisces about how the Hive have eradicated eighteen species in less than one hundred years. He wonders about the true final shape of the universe. As he wonders this he discovered a something terrifying. They have become so powerful and are destroying words so quickly that they cannot keep up with their worm's hunger. The more mighty they become the hungrier their worm becomes, and if they cannot feed their worm, then it will devour them and it will be a death they can never return from. He calls his siblings back to his throne world to discuss this with them. While they do this, they are in the middle of a war with a faction called the Ecumene. The three Hive leaders are discussing how their worm's hunger is making it so that they are unable to defeat the Ecumene. Savathûn has come up with a plan to feed their worms, but it requires them to be killing the Ecumene by the billions, something they are unable to do. Auryx knows a different way, but it is one that required more power than any one of them possesses. Xivu Arath tells Auryx to kill him and use the Sword Logic to gain power from the killing. So Auryx does. And Savathûn tells Auryx to strangle her and use the Sword Logic to gain power from the killing. But she is holding a knife behind her back, and plans on killing Auryx instead. But Auryx sees through her plan and quickly beheads her before she can react. These deaths were more potent than normal because they happened in a world governed by the Sword Logic, and Savathûn and Xivu Arath are trapped in their throne worlds. Then Auryx went to the Worm God named Akka. Auryx walked through the cold of a sword space until he came upon Akka, who was denying a truth until it became a lie. Such is the power of the Worm Gods. Auryx speaks to Akka, saying, "Akka my God, Worm of Secrets. I am Auryx, sole king of the Hive. I have come to receive a secret. I want the secret power of the Deep, which you hold.” But Akka tells him that he does not give out secrets. Auryx agrees, telling him that giving is the way if the Sky. The way of the Deep is to take. But because the Worm Gods game then their larvae, it has become a curse, where the worm's hunger never ceases. So Aurtx announces that he has come to take want he needs by force from Akka, who thinks that Auryx does not have the strength. But this is wrong, because Auryx has the strength of Xivu Arath and the cunning of Savathûn, which he gained from killing them. So he attacks Akka, cutting the worm to pieces with his sword, and from those pieces, he gains the secret to speaking with the Deep. And he wrote this secret on a set of tablets called the Tablets of Ruin, which he wore about his waist, keeping them with him at all times. Then he went and spoke to the Deep itself. It is not known what Auryx said to the Deep, for his speech was never recorded. But it is known that he returned and when he returned he said, "[b]Now I am Oryx, the Taken King. [/b]And I have the power to take life and make it my own." Then he went out into the material world and fought the Ecumene with his new powers. And the Worm Gods were pleased.
