Our Guardians have become Oryx.
So, Toland scoffed at us for killing Oryx and not taking his throne (Which Mara Sov tried to do bu her throne world was corrupted by Oryx while she waited to take his) But I would argue that we have become Oryx in a metaphorical sense.
Oryx lived and died by the Sword Logic. Killing things to make the universe perfect and killing powerful enemies to increase his own power. Oryx Chased the Traveler, killing and wiping out the species it rose to fight him. We ended him because he wanted to get revenge on us for killing Crota and thus we killed one of three Hive Gods but didn’t steal his dreadnaught and go feeding a worm with our kills....yet.
in D2 we hear rumblings of Savathun and the Taken return with a vengeance despite the person behind the power of taking being long dead and in Warmind, we Slay a Worm God and craft a Sniper Rifle to feed it posthumously. Then in Forsaken, we stumble into a trap set by Savathun herself to feed her worm in an “infinite murder battery” And do we ever feed it.
If we think about her, she gains tribute, if we are fooled by her, she gains tribute, every single enemy we kill in the dreaming city, every time we slay Riven, Dul Incaru or read the Truth to Power we feed her. She grows in Strength, in Cunning.
And we’re going to Kill her. We will wipe her out at the peak of her power, leaving just Xivu Arath as the lone hive Goddess. With that, we may just be increasing the size and scope of our Own throne World that Eris seems to have found. We will fight a superior Opponent and kill them to make the Universe that much more empty and perfect.
We will slay Savathun and increase our power because the Sword Logic demands it.
