Destiny 2's lore is...dense. Anyone who's been following the game over the years of its life know that there are stories within stories, a lengthy history filled with important characters, and even some mythological underpinnings to the alien-shooting you do in the game. One of the biggest and most important parts of Destiny 2 lore for its overall story is the history of the Hive, which concerns three major Destiny villains: the Hive gods Oryx, Savathun, and Xivu Arath.

Savathun is front and center in Destiny 2 right now. The current content season, the Season of the Lost, had players interacting with Savathun after discovering that she had used her powers of deception to impersonate Osiris, a major ally to the player-controlled Guardians. Xivu Arath is hunting her sister Savathun, ostensibly for betraying her commitment to the Darkness, the unknowable, god-like evil force that looms large in Destiny 2's world. But Oryx is out of the picture, thanks to the fact that player Guardians walloped the strongest of all Hive gods way back in Destiny 1's best expansion, The Taken King. We rocked that supposed god, even when he made himself like 100 feet tall somehow, and sent him careening into Saturn.

But there are inklings that we might not be done with Oryx if you pay attention to Destiny 2's lore. There are entries that suggest the Taken King crusaded across the galaxy for millennia, killing and conquering everything in his path, with the expectation that he would one day be beaten--but that death wouldn't be the end of his story. The biggest piece of evidence for the idea that there could be more to Oryx, though, comes in the form of Bungie's latest physical lore book, Grimoire Anthology Vol. 4.
