Like the title suggests, I've been trying to wrap my head around how the Hive on the tangled shore work from a lore perspective. As I'm sure you all know, the bulk of the Hive presence on the map is located in a crashed scouting ship from the Dreadnought. Now for about 5 minutes my thought process was: oh they must be what's left of Oryx's brood. Then I realized how little that makes sense, Oryx died and created a power vacuum that lead to the death of basically every single high ranking Hive leader in his brood. Without anyone leading them all the hive from earth to Saturn died of starvation, not to mention the models used in D2 represent savathun's army, not Oryx or Crotas. I then thought that the Hive near the crashed ship belonged to Hiraks, but that doesn't make sense because the Scorn attack them regularly and Hiraks' own mindbent Hive fight other non mindbent Hive. So that only leaves savathun right? then I realized... If that's the case then there are two ways that her brood got there 1. They escaped from the prison of Elders and decided to make a temporary living space in one of Oryx's ship's 2. Savathûn sent them there Now the first explanation would actually be kinda cool, a little sub category of Hive that are just fending for themselves (because fun fact there actually isn't any sign of savathûn's followers on the tangled shore, all the named Hive have nothing to do with her in their titles) and don't care about what the rest of the pantheon is doing. The second explanation is actually really dangerous because it means that whatever is in the crashed ship has attracted savathûn's eye, and that we've been so distracted with hunting down the Barons and protecting the dreaming city we've forgotten all about them. But that's just my theory, feel free to tell me yours down below
