Destiny 2 has woven a rich and intricate story with lore comprising billions of years in an ongoing conflict between the forces of Light and Darkness. With each tale expansion and accompanying Seasons and Raids, the story of the Darkness and its spread through galaxies to thwart the Traveler has continued to expand, with the Guardians in the Sol System being a force that can hopefully defeat the Darkness. Destiny 2 has utilized the Hive forces led by the Hive Gods: Oryx, Savathun, and Xivu Arath, as primary spreaders of the Darkness as they followed the Sword Logic to destroy countless civilizations.
