In the new Vidoc we get a preview of what the upcoming season is about, and in the video someone says that there’s hive growths popping up across the system and it’s infecting enemies and causing them to lose their minds. They mention that “she’s corrupting herself an army”.
My question is: what’s the point of doing this? Surely Xivu can borrow some Taken from her sister Savathun right? Or maybe could she make Taken herself? (I’m not too intuitive with the lore pls don’t kill me :p)
It just seems like a waste of time and energy on her part to me, since the Taken are also an army of Enemies who have been corrupted and had their will [i]taken[/i] away.
Unknown.
The original compact with the Deep is the only thing stopping Xivu from controlling the Taken. One such path is the book of sorrows, but she appears for the time being to not be able to do even that... we'll see later on though.
