I have a...well..crazy tinfoil hat theory about Savathûn.
And this is the first time, I’m hoping I’m wrong.
As we all know, Savathûn is in control of both the hive, and the Taken.
For the Hive, it seems like she is trying to keep their immortal souls while at the same time, riding themselves of their worms.
For the Taken, she seems to have them be collecting large amounts of vacant light leftover, for some reason.
Now, this might see a bit crazy, but what if she is planning to..well... resurrect Oryx?
Again, I’m hoping I’m wrong. I want to be wrong. But if I’m right, we are screwed.
With the current evidence I think it’s the case of us getting screwed. Like I said, Hive are trying to remove their worms. That way if Savathûn is able to resurrect Oryx, he wouldn’t need to worry about his worm eating him again. And Oryx is a being of partial darkness. A large sacrifice of light would be necessary for this. Plus, Oryx was able to revive Savathûn after she died in her ascendant realm (long story, Books of Sorrow).
And we would need his body, which is probably still floating around the Dreadnaught.
And the Dreadnaught isn gonna be a Location in a few months, maybe even a year to 2 years.
Again, I hope to god I’m wrong.

5 RepliesThat's not crazy and is entirely, 100% both plausible and possible. In the books of sorrow, Auryx, Savathun, and Xivu Arath killed each other hundreds of times, becoming more powerful each time. For them, killing each other is an act of love and affection. When it came that the individuals' power was not enough to feed their respective worms, Auryx killed Savathun and Xivu Arath in their throne realms, giving them their first real death. With the power he gained from killing his sisters, he went on to kill the worm god Akka, and become the Taken King, Oryx. Being that it was a true death (because they died in their throne realms) they did not return. Until Oryx embodied the aspects of his sisters, cunning and trickery. He was able to revive them by embodying them and their ideals and aspects through an act of war (specifically against the Ecumene and Dakua Nest, if my memory serves me correctly). Fast forward to TTK, we kill Oryx on a part of the Dreadnought that is not part of his throne realm, and he returned in his throne as the giant boss in King's Fall. We kill Oryx in his throne realm in the raid, giving him his first real death. Therefore, being that Oryx has died a true death, it is plausible that Savuthun and/or Xivu Arath could revive him by embodying his aspects in an act of war. Personally, I do not believe that to be the case. I believe we last saw Savathun leave this dimension on one of her War Moons, and that was when she and Xivu Arath were revived, potentially hundreds of years ago. Judging by some of the context in d2, I don't think Savathun is the leader of the Taken, I think she controls them through Quria, Blade Transform, a taken hydra gifted to her by Oryx. The taken can technically "take" by transferring the blight to living entities, which is how we got the taken Red Legion soldier in the ps4 strike. Therefore, I believe Savathun's ambitions are much higher than reviving Oryx. She likely wants to take his place instead.
