This duel brought major losses for Crota's temples and tributaries as the Knight of Oryx was unable to make his tribute to a champion of Crota. ĭue to unforeseen circumstances Crota's plan to conquer humanity was put to a hold when two Knights of Oryx and Xivu Arath engaged in duel. His leadership and power of his sword led to a divisive victory as he slaughtered thousands more and drove them away from the moon for more than a century out of sheer fear for Crota. As a further show of dominance, Crota took one of the Guardian's Ghosts and forged it into a dagger to murder them. These heroes included Gunnvor, the Dawncaller and her companions from the First Pillar Order, and the legendary Titan Wei Ning, who Crota impaled his sword. The Sword Logic proved to be too much for the Guardians as countless heroes fell before Crota's Blades. Against overwhelming odds, the Guardians barely succeeded in repealing the Hive at the Battle of Burning Lake, only to fail at their counteroffensive at the Great Disaster on the Moon led by Sardon and his Blades.
ĭuring the early City Age, the Hidden Swarm, acting as the Spawn's vanguard, launched several of their Seeder Ships throughout Earth and engaged the Light-bearing Guardians at the Rusted Lands in the Eastern Flooded Zone only one surviving Hunter returned to warn the City of the imminent threat. Crota also had his Swarm Princes command the Hidden Swarm, a numberless legion of Hive to serve as their frontline military and auxilliary force while also being the Hellmouth's outermost line of defense. Eventually Omnigul's brood geo-engineered the entire interior of the Moon from the bottom up to create an impregnable fortress called the Hellmouth, with a gateway into Crota's throne world at the very bottom of its abyss. He established his hold over those gates and made them lead to his realm for unknown reasons. Crota also became interested in the space station Cocytus, which contained experimental gates from the Golden Age of Humanity. Their presence was first discovered by Humanity during the late Golden Age, where they slaughtered a Human mining expedition for intruding into their territory. Crota's spawn then formed their military foothold near the inactive Pyramid found beneath the surface. Sardon was largely responsible for his part in leading Crota's army of Blades in conquering Luna.
Eventually they arrived in the Solar System before the Golden Age and quickly embedded themselves deep within the crust of the Moon. Under the orders of Oryx, Crota and his spawn conquered many worlds as they pursued the Traveler to destroy it. " The day we set out to retake our Moon, united in a host of thousands, and found ourselves outmatched by one Hive champion of unspeakable power." - Eriana-3 For this reason, Crota sent Hashladûn on her way to his father's court, knowing he can never see her again.
Having barely surviving her ordeal, Crota proudly explained that the parts of Hashladûn that were his were flooded away and only the parts of his father remained making her Ascendant to the Taken King himself. He then took his daughter out of his throne world and into the chaotic shores of the Sea of Screams, where he left her to be inundated five times by its paracausal but caustic waves. Acknowledging her exceptional power, Crota named her Hashladûn and saw her power as a detriment to her strength. One of Crota's spawn was a Thrall whose strength rivalled that of the Hope-Eater's Knights. It was speculated that she made herself part of the song, and became death incarnate. She later became an acclaimed singer of the Deathsong and managed to sing it without dying. Īmong his servants was the esteemed Deathsinger Ir Yût, one of Crota's most cherished, who attempted to rebuild the Choir who sang the original Deathsong and the Song of Life, but had long since given up.
Sardon, Fist of Crota became the first spawn of the Hope-Eater's disciples and thus served as the general of his armies for millenia, including command over four Swarm Princes Banuk, Dakoor, Garok, and Merok, that forged Crota a great sword to destroy his foes with. Omnigul is also protected by the Might of Crota, an Ogre of Crota's design that is deemed to be unstoppable even by the likes of the Taken Wizard Kagoor. Choosing Omnigul as his consort, Crota progenated his own brood which were to serve as his direct disciples, At some point Omnigul demanded the death of an unnamed Wizard to replenish her strength only for that Wizard to be raised into Oryx's court. " Thus I name you Crota, Eater of Hope." - Oryx, the Taken KingĪccording to the Books of Sorrow, Oryx, the Taken King had raised Crota to be his champion, naming him his Eater of Hope with the mission to help pursue the Traveler and the civilzations it uplifted.
