Nightmare will definitely be Valus Ta’aurc.

[quote]1) There is a known nightmare weapon coming from the new dungeon. That probably means there is at least one new nightmare. Is there any hint who it is? Oryx? Valus Ta'aurc? Sepiks? Mindbender? Nokris? Ir Halak? Ir Anuk? Alak-Hul? Malok? Aksis?[/quote] No hints. We don’t know what any other Nightmares will be. [quote]2) Are Crota's children really attempting to revive Oryx? I know many people are speculating on that, but are they really?[/quote] No. Crota’s daughters had faith that Crota and Oryx aren’t truly dead, but no attempts were made to revive them because it’s more complicated than waving your hands and shouting “Boop-bop-a-doop!” https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/x-faith-in-bone#book-inquisition-of-the-damned [quote]3) If they are planning to revive Oryx, could Nokris be involved? We know he practices necromancing. Could he be teaching them? Or maybe just something they picked up along the way due to lack of leadership and no clear direction?[/quote] No, Nokris is not involved. They despise Nokris because he defies true death with necromancy. If Oryx is revived it will not be necromancy. [quote]4) What is the fate of Nokris? Did he have an ascendant realm? He came out of a portal. Makes me think we haven't seen the last of him.[/quote] He was Ascendant, though he might not have had his own Throne World. I don’t know if he’s truly dead or if he’s still alive. [quote]5) Could more pyramid ships be scattered throughout the system? It took us until now to find the one on the moon. For example, could one be on Io? Titan? Etc.[/quote] Highly doubtful. There’s the one on the Moon (which was there long before the Collapse happened). The rest of the fleet is coming. [quote]6) Are Xivu Arath and Savathun really working together? I know in the ascendant challenges, Toland hints to it. I thought all the siblings were fighting one another.[/quote] They work together and fight each other. They always have. [quote]7) Is Taniks still alive? I know we fought a nightmare of him, but not him directly. [/quote] He might still be alive, but if he is then he’s in hiding and no one knows. [quote]8) What is the Fanatic doing? Will he try and make new Scorn barons one day and claim revenge on us? I think it would be cool if Fikrul was going around reviving dead Fallen we've killed like Vosik, Siviks, Taniks, Skolas, etc. That'd be a mean army. [/quote] The Fanatic is still reviving himself and the Scorn, but they’re defeated and the Guardians make sure they stay down. [quote]9) What is Eramis doing? With her failed attempt on getting SIVA in the old tower, will she continue to go after it? To me I think she will head to Nessus and we may have a DLC next year where Nessus turns into a Plaguelands type of thing. [/quote] She’s gathering followers and trying to rebuild Devils. We have the Outbreak Perfected now, so she has no current reason to invade the Tower again. [quote]10) Anything new with our buddy Uldren?[/quote] No [quote]11) What's going on with the surviving conspirators against Calus? Umun'arath? Caiatl? Are they still loyal to the Red Legion?[/quote] They’re controlling the Cabal Empire. [quote]12) Are the Vex working for the pyramid ships and the Darkness? The statue in the raid makes me think they are.[/quote] No. The Vex of the Black Garden worship the Darkness to gain power, but that’s it. [quote]13) Can Dredgen Yor be revived? I know in lore entries Shin Malphur communicates with his ghost. If the Ghost is alive, can he be? [/quote] Possibly. [quote]14) Last but not least, is anything new with Efrideet? I feel like D2, besides a small lore tab where she fought to retake the city, has done her no justice.[/quote] No

1. It’s probably one of the Hive Knights or warriors mentioned in Inquisition of the Damned. 2. Yes. Yes they really are 3. Why would the exiled son of Oryx that everyone hates be involved? We just got a glimpse of other forces that can bring back beings. The Darkness. He’ll be back as a Nightmare. 4. Nokris? Of course he has an Throne World. All Ascendant Hive, especially the offspring of the Taken King himself, have Throne Worlds. 5. Did you not see the Vanilla Destiny 2 campaign end cutscene? 6. If they were anything worth their salt? That would be the smart choice. 7. The only reason a Nightmare of Taniks exists is because he died. We killed him. Back in D1. Same for Skolas. 8. Like I said..Nightmare means their dead. The Fanatic is actually dead. 9. I’m not touching this one. 10. NOPE. Not my buddy. Shouldn’t be yours either. 11. No word on them, really.. 12. The Sol Divisive are and always have been agents of the Darkness. They worship it. 13. No. He can’t. His Ghost be dead. So he also be dead. Same as Cayde.

1. If I had to guess from the trailer it's that one Hive knight from prison of elders. The flame prince 2. Well... They're trying to find a replacement while some wise asses think if they commit heresy he'll come back but if he doesn't that means they're totally qualified to survive. The Hive are very soar losers 3. Again they're not actually reviving his corps, rather they're doing the same thing Oryx did to his sister's. Reviving them through an act that defines them. Nokris' wouldn't help, or maybe he would just to piss off his father? Who knows if he's even still alive 4. I sincerely hope he's still alive. He's a necromancer which means he might still be alive regardless of not having a throne world? The laws of necromancy have never been really explained despite the fact Nokris, fikrul, and the Guardians do it all the time 5. It's possible? However if there were then I'd imagine the one on the moon would try and lead us to the others instead of forcing us to travel through the black garden 6. Man this is complicated. For the hive love is war, and while the sisters have the same goal in mind I'm sure they don't have an alliance rather an agreement that "hey we should probably kill these guys". Xivu is god knows where fight god knows what, while savathune is laughing at us from a distance 7. Possibly? If he was I imagine he'd have something to say about his ship crashing on the moon and a nightmare of him running around. Then again maybe he's perma dead since Siva was destroyed 8. Fikrul is still alive and I think it's implied that the Barons are also still kicking around. While the Fanatic is kinda trapped by his own obsession for vengeance, challenging us to a fight everytime he gets back up and then immediately dying, I think the rest of his crew just kinda lays low? Again I have no idea if the Barons are still alive or not, the flashpoint says that we gotta help spider take down the Barons again but other then that we never get any mention of them 9. Well since her last 2 schemes went south (Siva and capturing the EAZ) I'm sure she's waiting for her time to strike. Recruiting anyone who'll join the house of devil's while making small advances that won't alert any unwanted attention 10. Welp... Nope. I'm almost positive the next time we see him it will be a re-created moment of that one cutscene we saw before Destiny 1 released. The whole "out here in the wild this is how we talk" thing. I hope he becomes our buddy 11. Well..? The Red legion is absolutely -blam!-ed and an utter embarrassment to the Cabal empire. I'd imagine that the other conspirators are running the empire in Ghual's absence 12. Yes and no. The Sol divisive are unique in which they're the only Vex subtype that actively worships the Darkness. Naturally when they got a signal from the moon pyramid ship they thought to themselves "our god is calling us, let's roll out" 13. Yes, his Ghost can still pick him up but as long as his Ghost is still alive nothing else can 14. I agree completely that she needs more lore, but no. She's still hanging out with her pacifist Guardians, the hippy
