We still have one last Hive threat...

I believe, it is, The Nastareth. So I've been going through the grimoire since I'm bored and still waiting for D2, I discovered this from the grimoire card: Sylok: The Defiled [quote] ...Gragghh ...g-ggglorious pain!!! >>Memory synapses are firing. >Finally. Let’s see what we’ve... wh— what is that? ...Blllessssseeddd is the N-Nastareth!!! [/quote] Uhhhhhhhhhhh.......What the absolute hell is this Knight talking about? I decided to dig deeper and see if this was mentioned anywhere else in the grimoire of D1. I loaded up the Isthar Collective website and searched with the Key Word as "Nastareth" I got only one result, and it was from the same damn card from my quote. I then widened my search, looking through any evidence we've seen in D2 of the Nastareth. Again....Nothing. So what the hell are these Chubby custard [Redacted] known as the Nastareth?! Well, I have a few theories. But bear in mind, these are highly speculative. 1. It's the Hive Pantheon. Simply put, gods are considered blessed by their worshippers. It wouldn't be to far fetched to think the Nastareth is the Hive Pantheon. Its name sounds very similar to Nazareth, a town in the bible. Nazareth was the home that most people associated Jesus with during his time. The parallels are similar, but not enough to prove this theory. 2. Nastareth is the darkness. Hear me out. Sylok is a Taken knight. That means the darkness literally consumed him. So it could be the name of the Darkness, or perhaps a Representation of it. We also know that the taken are in D2, meaning that something still holds sway over them. 3. Nastareth could be another name for Oryx. Later in the card Sylok says this: [quote] ...Ammm I strong enough, Oryx? Is it ttt-timme? >>It’s too much! It’s overloading! [/quote] This can mean that Nastareth is possibly a another more intimate name for Oryx. I say intimate because Sylok may have been a minor son of Oryx. We know it wasn't above oryx to have more than one son. 4. Nastareth could be a rite of passage. This card details Sylok being tortured, and him screaming out this name. Why? Maybe its a rite of passage. We know through the Sword logic that hive must keep killing to grow. Feeding the worms inside. Nastareth could be the name for when a hive undergoes an ascension. Such as a acolyte to a knight. Those are my theories. There may be more in game, but I haven't found any what so ever. If you do, please let me know. Should we figure out what the Nastareth are exactly, i believe it will be expansion focused. LET THE SPECULATION...BEGIN....

  • I think "The nastareth" is something the hive worship, so possibly there name for the darkness (yes I understand they also call it the deep) it could also be a title for oryx, instead of an alternate name (like how we say "The pope" when referring to the pope)
