INVASION BAY, DREADNAUGHT, RINGS OF SATURN
Eris Morn: Oryx’s return instigated a grand schism in the Hive. They are shaken. They entertain the first doubt, the oldest doubt. They call it the “Entaoxuanna.” The doubt that will destroy them. The doubt that will undermine their core philosophy. Whatever happens must be so, but what must be so, is poison. Their king was slain, but his mantle went unassumed. Now he returns as a sword: wormless, resurrected, and without the strength of his brood. There is no greater heresy than this. His sisters know it. He knows it. And so, in this, Oryx wishes to begin again.
