Xol isn't actually Whisper. The Thousand Wings ship lore, i.e. the ship you get from doing the heroic version of the Whisper mission and completing its challenges, says, almost literally: "The [gun] is not the god, it is an instrument of its will. And when we wield it, what are we in turn being wielded by?" Whisper is like one of Xol's fangs. And when we wield it, Xol wields us. I have no idea how Xol literally being whisper became so widespread a myth when the awesome taken Hive ship explicitly says he's not. I was hoping Byf would mention it, since its important. But for some reason I am apparently literally the only Destiny player who's read that ship lore. Its insane to me.

@@trentonanker1744 I don't believe that is correct from my recollection. Savathûn and Nokris traded information, Nokris traded knowledge of Necromancy while Savathûn through Quria taught Nokris about controlling The Taken. While the player Ghost believes killing Nokris at the end of interference was his definitive end...the only real evidence of that is that Nokris has not returned. Thing is, he's died many times before and managed to bring himself back. Now it could be with the knowledge Savathûn gave him that he finally became am Ascendant Hive. Afterall the final battle with him was in a fake version of Savathûn's Throne World. That could've been his Throne World, in which case him dying in it would've been his final death. Though since, to my knowledge, this hasn't been confirmed nor denied, it's hard to say. For all we know, Nokris like his fellow necromancer Fikrul could be lying low. Heck, since Xivu Arath has been kicked from her Throne World, Nokris could attempt to take it...or the other vacant thrones.

I find Nokris and necromancy vs the Hive hatred of it interesting. We’ve seen Savathuun and even Xivu Arath use it. That undying Knight in a Titan Adventure for example, or Kelgorath who just kept dying and failing and yet Xivu still kept bringing him back in new ways, first as a Wrathborn, then a Darkblade, then a Taken, he kept returning, like attempting to sharpen an eternally dull blade. But I guess the necromancy hate ended with Oryx’s death, Savathuun never cared for the Sword Logic constantly trying ways to circumvent it’s downside, eventually she gave into death allowing the Traveler to choose her or not, she was.

You know, looking back on past Hive lore, especially more recent stuff, with season of the Witch, we really did prove the Sword Logic wrong. Did we use it and embody it then? Yes. Have Guardians been enacting the Sword Logic for years? Yes. But, the reasons we fight, are different, why we fight, is different. Using the methods of the Hive, and Darkness? Not that alone, we also used light, and other forms of power. In this, we embodied complexity. The bomb Logic. In a sense, we’ve proven time and again, even in season of the Witch, aginst the Hive, Taken, and Witness: that bomb Logic, is greater. Even sword Logic, used with other methods, by us Guardians, transfigures into bomb logic. This is why I believe the Witness’ goal, it’s vision, it’s Final Shape, is flawed. Even Savathun, may realize her folly, given potential Hive may desert her brood. Maybe we will come across Hive calling themselves, “Krill”. Having forsaken the Sword?
