It's nearly time for Destiny 2's expansion to be officially released, and the game's community is eager to know more about what The Witch Queen entails from a gameplay perspective and also in terms of lore. Bungie has been building up to Savathun's moment under the spotlight for a long time, and the Hive, in general, has always been one of the most interesting alien races in the game because of its deep and ancient lore. Savathun's story is told through the Books of Sorrow, and it begins in the Osmium Court of a race that was the proto-Hive, back when Savathun, Xivu Arath, and Oryx had different names and had just lost their father.
